MAX4554/MAX4555/MAX4556
General Description
The MAX4554/MAX4555/MAX4556 are CMOS analog ICs
configured as force-sense switches for Kelvin sensing in
automated test equipment (ATE). Each part contains
high-current, low-resistance switches for forcing current,
and higher resistance switches for sensing a voltage or
switching guard signals. The MAX4554 contains two
force switches, two sense switches, and two guard
switches configured as two triple-pole/single-throw
(3PST) normally open (NO) switches. The MAX4555 contains four independent single-pole/single-throw (SPST)
normally closed (NC) switches, two force switches, and
two sense switches. The MAX4556 contains three independent single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) switches, of
which one is a force switch and two are sense switches.
These devices operate from a single supply of +9V to
+40V or dual supplies of ±4.5V to ±20V. On-resistance
(6Ω max) is matched between switches to 1Ω max.
Each switch can handle Rail-to-Rail® analog signals.
The off-leakage current is only 0.25nA at +25°C and
2.5nA at +85°C. The MAX4554 is also fully specified for
+20V and -10V operation.

Note 1: Signals on analog or digital pins exceeding V+ or V- are clamped by internal diodes. Limit forward diode current to maximum current rating.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Pin Description
MAX4554/MAX4555/MAX4556
Force-Sense Switches
______________Force-Sense Philosophy
When a precise voltage must be applied to a load that
draws appreciable current, the resistance of the conductors connecting the source and the load can
degrade the load voltage. The resistance of the conductors forms a voltage divider with the load, so that
the load voltage is lower than the source voltage. The
greater the distance between the source and the load,
and the greater the current or conductor resistance, the
greater the degradation. The resulting signal reduction
can be overcome and the signal at the load guaranteed
by using a 4-wire technique known as Kelvin sensing,
or force-sense.
The basic idea behind the force-sense philosophy is to
use four wires, forcing a voltage or current through two
high-current wires to the load, and measuring (sensing)
the voltage with two separate wires that carry very low
or negligible current. One of two basic configurations is
used, depending on whether or not feedback is employed:
1) The sensed voltage can be completely independent
of the forced voltage or current, as in the case of a
4-wire ohmmeter, where a constant current is forced
through one pair of wires and the voltage at the
resistor is measured by another pair.
2) The sensed voltage can be part of a feedback circuit to force the load voltage to the desired value,
as in the case of a 4-wire power supply. (In rare
cases, this method is also used to measure resistance; the source is forced to produce a desired
voltage in the resistor, and the source current
required to achieve this voltage is measured.)
In all cases, the resistance of the high-current conductors can be ignored and the sensed voltage is an accurate measure of the load (or resistor’s) voltage, despite
appreciable voltage loss in the wires connecting the
source and load.
There are two limitations to this scheme. First, the maximum source voltage (compliance) must be able to
overcome the combined voltage loss of the load and
the connecting wires. In other words, the conductors in
the force circuit can have significant resistance, but
there is a limit. Second, the impedance of the sensing
circuit (typically a voltmeter, A/D converter, or feedback
amplifier) must be very high compared to the load
resistance and the sense wire resistance. These limitations are usually simple to overcome. The source compliance is usually required to be only a volt more than
the load voltage, and the sense circuit usually has a
multimegohm impedance. Typical 4-wire force-sense
configurations are shown in Figure 1.

Force-Sense Switches
When measuring a precise voltage from a high-resistance source, or when measuring a very small current
or forcing it into a load, unwanted leakage currents can
degrade the results. These leakage currents may exist
in the insulation of wires connecting the source and the
measuring device. Higher source voltages, higher
source impedances, longer wires, lower currents, and
higher temperatures further degrade the measurement.
The effect has both DC and low-frequency AC components; AC signals are generally capacitively coupled
into the high-impedance source and wiring. The AC
and DC effects are hard to separate, and are generally
grouped under the designation “low-frequency noise.”
This signal degradation can be overcome and the measured signal guaranteed by using a 3-wire technique
known as guarding.
A “guard,” “guard channel,” or “driven guard” is formed
by adding a third wire to a 2-wire measurement. It consists of a physical barrier (generally the surrounding
shield of a coaxial cable) that is actively forced to the
same voltage as is being measured on its inner conductor. The forcing of the driven guard is from the output of
a low-impedance buffer amplifier whose high-impedance input is connected to the source. The idea is not
just to buffer or shield the signal with a low-impedance
source but, by forcing the shield to the same potential
as the signal, to also force the leakage currents
between the signal and the outside world to extremely
small values. Any unwanted leakage current from the
source must first go through the coaxial-cable insulation
to the shield. Since the shield is at the same potential,
there is virtually no unwanted leakage current, regardless of the insulation resistance. The shield itself can
have significant leakage currents to the outside world,
but it is separated from the measured signal.
The physical positioning of the guard around the signal
is extremely important in maintaining low leakage.
Since the guard can be at potentials far from ground,
conventional coaxial cable is often replaced by triaxial
cable (i.e., cable with a center conductor and two separate inner and outer shields). The signal is the center
conductor, the inner shield is the guard, and the outer
shield is the chassis ground. The outer shield isolates
the inner driven guard from ground, physically protects
the driven guard, and acts as a secondary Faraday
shield for external noise.
The physical guard must be maintained continuously
from the source to the measuring device, including
paths on printed circuit boards, where the guard
becomes extra traces surrounding the signal traces on
both sides (and above and below the signal traces on
multilevel boards.) This is one case where a ground
plane is not appropriate. In extreme cases, such as
with nano-voltmeters and femto-ammeters, printed circuit boards cannot be adequately shielded and are
eliminated from the guarded signal paths altogether.
Figure 2 shows both the basic 3-wire guarded measurement and a 5-wire variation, used for balanced signals that are elevated from ground potential. The 5-wire
configuration is really two 3-wire circuits sharing a common ground. Figure 2 also shows the configuration
using triaxial cable.
____Force-Sense-Guard Philosophy
Force-sense measurements are combined with guarded measurements when a wide range of voltages and
currents are encountered, or when voltage and current
must be accurately measured or controlled simultaneously. This frequently occurs in automatic test equipment (ATE) and in some critical physical or chemical
sensor applications where voltage and/or current measurements can span many decades. Two techniques
are used: 8-wire and 12-wire.
8-Wire Measurements
Figure 3 shows an 8-wire guarded force-sense power
supply. A precise voltage is forced to the load, and
load current is sensed without interacting with the output voltage, and without unwanted leakage currents.
Separate twin-axial, or “twinax” cable is used for each
of the positive and negative wires. Each cable has a
twisted-pair of wires surrounded by a common shield,
which is connected as the driven guard. Since the
force and sense wires are at approximately the same
potential, they can be protected by the same driven
guard. In critical applications, two special 4-wire cables
and connectors are substituted for the two twinax
cables and separate ground wire. These cables add a
second shield, which replaces the chassis-to-chassis
ground wire and reduces noise.
Figure 3 shows current sensing with a fixed precision
resistor and voltmeter, but other methods (such as op
amps with feedback) are frequently employed, particularly if current limiting is required. One of the advantages
of Figure 3’s circuit is that leakage in the current-sensing
path has no effect on the output voltage.
The two diodes in the force-sense feedback path protect the force-sense amplifier from operating open loop
if either the force or sense wires are disconnected from
the load. These diodes must have both lower forward
voltage and lower reverse leakage than the current
being measured.

Note that although the positive and negative circuits are
identical, they are not redundant. Both are always used,
even when one side of the load is grounded, because
maintaining a precision output voltage requires losses in
the ground leads to be corrected by a force-sense
amplifier. If more than one power supply and load are
operated together, and they have a common connection, this requirement becomes even more critical.
Separate 8-wire connections prevent current changes in
one load from changing voltage in the other load.
12-Wire Measurements
Figure 4 shows a 12-wire circuit, which is an elaboration of the 8-wire system using separate driven guards
for the force and sense wires. Four sets of triaxial
cables and connectors are used. The extra wires are
used for two reasons: 1) They provide better shielding
by having separate chassis grounds on each cable,
rather than separate ground wires external to the signal
cables; 2) In test equipment, where connection
changes are frequent, it is very convenient to use four
triax connectors or two quadrax (dual triax) connectors
for each load.
In addition, this method is slightly better for power supplies or measurements that switch between constant
voltage and constant current, since separate driven
guards reduce circuit capacitance. Also, when troubleshooting, it is convenient to be able to interchange
force and sense leads.

Force-Sense Switches
When a precision source or measurement must be connected sequentially to several circuits, all sense and
guard connections must be switched simultaneously,
and at least one of the force connections must be
switched. To maintain safety and low noise levels, the
ground (or chassis) connection should never be disconnected.
The force circuit switch should have low-resistance,
high-current capability, but the sense and guard circuit
switches require only moderate resistance and current
capability. The sense and guard switches should have
lower leakage than the lowest measured current.
CMOS switches should also be operated from power
supplies higher than the highest circuit voltage to be
switched.
_______________Detailed Description
The MAX4554/MAX4555/MAX4556 are CMOS analog
ICs configured as force-sense switches. Each part contains low-resistance switches for forcing current, and
higher resistance switches for sensing a voltage or driving guard wires. Analog signals on the force, sense, or
guard circuits can range from V- to V+. Each switch is
completely symmetrical and signals are bidirectional;
any switch terminal can be an input or output. The
switches’ open or closed states are controlled by
TTL/CMOS-compatible input (IN_) pins.
The MAX4555 and MAX4556 are characterized and
guaranteed only with ±15V supplies, but they can operate from a single supply up to +44V or non-symmetrical
supplies with a voltage totaling less than +44V. The
MAX4554 is fully characterized for operation from ±15V
supplies, and it is also fully specified for operation with
+20V and -10V supplies. A separate logic supply pin,
VL, allows operation with +5V or +3V logic, even with
unusual V+ values. The negative supply pin, V-, must
be connected to GND for single-supply operation.
The MAX4554 contains two force switches, two sense
switches, and two guard switches configured as two
3PST switches. The two switches operate independently of one another, but they have a common connection,
allowing one source to be connected simultaneously to
two loads, or two sources to be connected to one load.
An enable pin, EN, turns all switches off when driven to
logic high. The MAX4554 is also fully specified for operation with +20V and -10V supplies. The MAX4555 contains four independent SPDT, NC switches; two are
force switches and two are sense switches. The
MAX4556 contains three independent SPDT switches;
one is a force switch and two are sense switches.
Switch Resistances
Each IC contains four internal switches: four low-current
sense-guard switches and two high-current force
switches. Each sense-guard switch has an on-resistance of approximately 60Ω, while each force switch
has an on-resistance of approximately 6Ω. The
MAX4555’s two low-current sense-guard switches are
connected in parallel to produce lower on-resistance
and allow higher current.
Power-Supply Considerations
Overview
The MAX4554/MAX4555/MAX4556’s construction is typical of most CMOS analog switches. They have four supply pins: V+, V-, VL, and GND. V+ and V- are used to
drive the internal CMOS switches and set the analog voltage limits on any switch. Reverse ESD protection diodes
are internally connected between each analog and digital
signal pin and both V+ and V-. If any signal exceeds V+
or V-, one of these diodes will conduct. During normal
operation these reverse-biased ESD diodes leak, forming
the only current drawn from the signal paths.
Virtually all the analog leakage current comes through
the ESD diodes to V+ or V-. Although the ESD diodes on
a given signal pin are identical, and therefore fairly well
balanced, they are reverse biased differently. Each is
biased by either V+ or V- and the analog signal. This
means their leakages vary as the signal varies. The difference in the two diode leakages from the signal path
to the V+ and V- pins constitutes the analog-signal-path
leakage current. All analog leakage current flows to the
supply terminals, not to the other switch terminal. This
explains how both sides of a given switch can show
leakage currents of either the same or opposite polarity.
There is no connection between the analog signal
paths and GND or VL. The analog signal paths consist
of an N-channel and P-channel MOSFET with their
sources and drains paralleled, and their gates driven
out of phase to V+ and V- by the logic-level translators.
VL and GND power the internal logic and logic-level
translator and set the input logic threshold. The logiclevel translator converts the logic levels to switched V+
and V- signals for driving the gates of the analog
switches. This drive signal is the only connection
between GND and the analog supplies. V+ and V- have
ESD-protection diodes to GND. The logic-level inputs
(IN_, and EN) have ESD protection to V+ and V-, but
not to GND; therefore, the logic signal can go below
GND (as low as V-) when bipolar supplies are used.
The logic-level threshold VIN is CMOS and TTL compatible when VL is between 4.5V and 36V (see Typical
Operating Characteristics).

Force-Sense Switches
Increasing V- has no effect on the logic-level thresholds, but it does increase the drive to the internal Pchannel switches, reducing the overall switch
on-resistance. V- also sets the negative limit of the analog signal voltage.
Bipolar-Supply Operation
The MAX4554/MAX4555/MAX4556 operate with bipolar
supplies between ±4.5V and ±18V. However, since all
factory characterization is done with ±15V supplies
(and +20V, -10V for MAX4554), operation at other supplies is not guaranteed. The V+ and V- supplies need
not be symmetrical, but their sum cannot exceed the
absolute maximum rating of 44V (see Absolute Maximum Ratings). VL must not exceed V+.
Single-Supply Operation
The MAX4554/MAX4555/MAX4556 operate from a single supply between +4.5V and +44V when V- is con-
nected to GND. All of the bipolar precautions must be
observed.
__________Applications Information
Switching 4-Wire
Force-Sense Circuits
Figure 5 shows how to switch a single voltage or current source between two loads using two MAX4555s. A
single CMOS inverter ensures that only one switch is on
at a time. On each MAX4555, switches 2 and 3 are the
high-current switches, so they should be used for force
circuits. By interchanging loads and sources, the circuit
can be reversed to switch two sources to a single load.
Additional MAX4555s and loads or sources can be
added to expand the circuit, but additional IN_ address
decoding must be incorporated.

connection, the switch to that node can be eliminated.
Note that these circuits use sense (high-resistance)
switches to switch the common wire. This is permissible
only if the load currents are very low. If the currents are
high, the common connection should not be switched
unless another force switch is substituted.

Switching 8-Wire Guarded Circuits
Figure 9 shows how to switch a single 8-wire guarded
force-sense voltage or current source between two
loads using two MAX4556s or two MAX4554s. By interchanging loads and sources, the circuits can be
reversed so that they switch two sources to a single
load. The two loads are shown isolated from each
another, but if they have a common connection then the
circuit must remain as shown in order to maintain accurate load voltage.
High-Frequency Performance
Although switching speed is restricted, once a switch is
in a steady state it exhibits good RF performance. In
50Ω systems, signal response is reasonably flat up to
50MHz (see Typical Operating Characteristics). The
force switches have lower on-resistance, so their insertion loss in 50Ω systems is lower. Above 20MHz, the
on-response has several minor peaks that are highly
layout dependent. The problem with high-frequency
operation is not turning the switches on, but turning
them off. The off-state switches act like capacitors and
pass higher frequencies with less attenuation. At
10MHz, off-isolation between input or output signals is
approximately -30dB in 50Ω systems, degrading
(approximately 20dB per decade) as frequency
increases. Higher circuit impedances also degrade offisolation.
