MAXIM MAX4506ESA

19-1415; Rev 2; 2/03
Fault-Protected, High-Voltage
Signal-Line Protectors
The MAX4506 contains three independent protectors
while the MAX4507 contains eight independent protectors. They can protect both unipolar and bipolar analog
signals using either unipolar (+9V to +36V) or bipolar
(±8V to ±18V) power supplies.
These devices have no logic control inputs; the protectors are designed to be always-on when the supplies
are on. On-resistance is 100Ω max and matched within
7Ω, and on-leakage is less than 0.5nA at TA = +25°C.
The MAX4506 is available in 8-pin SO/DIP packages.
The MAX4507 is available in 20-pin SSOP and 18-pin
SO/DIP packages.

MAX4506/MAX4507
General Description
The MAX4506/MAX4507 multiple, two-terminal signal-line
protectors are pin-compatible with the industry-standard
MAX366/MAX367. These new circuit protectors feature
fault-protected inputs and Rail-to-Rail® signal handling
capability. The input pins are protected from overvoltage
faults up to ±36V with power on or ±40V with power off.
During a fault condition, the input terminal becomes an
open circuit and only nanoamperes of leakage current
flow from the source; but the switch output (OUT_) furnishes typically 19mA from the appropriate polarity supply to the load. This ensures unambiguous rail-to-rail
outputs when a fault begins and ends.

OUT_ ...............................................................................V+ to VNote 1: OUT_ pins are not fault protected. Signals on OUT_ exceeding V+ or V- are clamped by internal diodes. Limit forward-diode
current to maximum current rating.
Note 2: IN_ pins are fault protected. Signals on IN_ exceeding -36V to +36V may damage the device. These limits apply with power
applied to V+ or V-, or ±40V with V+ = V- = 0.
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.

Detailed Description
The MAX4506/MAX4507 protect other ICs from overvoltage by clamping its output voltage to the supply
rails. If the power supplies to the device are off, the
device clamps the output to 0V. The MAX4506/
MAX4507 provide protection for input signals up to
±36V with the power supplies on and ±40V with the
power supplies off.
The MAX4506/MAX4507 protect other integrated circuits connected to its output from latching up. Latchup
is caused by parasitic SCR(s) within the IC turning on,
and can occur when the supply voltage applied to the
IC exceeds the specified operating range. Latchup can
also occur when signal voltage is applied before the
power-supply voltage. When in a latchup state, the circuit draws excessive current and may continue to draw
excessive current even after the overvoltage condition
is removed. A continuous latchup condition may damage the device permanently. Such “faults” are commonly encountered in modular control systems where
power supplies to interconnected modules may be
interrupted and reestablished at random. Faults can
happen during production testing, maintenance, startup, or a power failure.
Figure 1 shows the normal complementary pair (N1 and
P1) found in many common analog switches. In addition to these transistors, the MAX4506/MAX4507 also
contain comparators and sensing and clamping circuitry
to control the state of N1 and P1. During normal opera-

MAX4506/MAX4507
Pin Description
MAX4506/MAX4507
Fault-Protected, High-Voltage
Signal-Line Protectors
Two clamp circuits limit the output voltage to within the
supply voltages. When the power supplies are off, any
input voltage applied at IN turns off both N1 and P1,
and OUT is clamped to 0V.
Normal Operation
MAX4506
When power is applied, each protector acts as a resistor in series with the signal path. Any voltage source on
the “input” side of the switch will be conducted through
the protector to the output (Figure 2).
When the output load is resistive, it draws current
through the protector. The internal resistance is typically
less than 100Ω. High-impedance loads are relatively
unaffected by the presence of the MAX4506/MAX4507.
The protector’s path resistance is a function of the supply
voltage and the signal voltage (see Typical Operating
Characteristics).

Fault Protection, Power On
A fault condition exists when the voltage on the IN_

power is on or off, as well as during all states while
power ramps up or down.

Supplying Power Through External ICs
The MAX4506/MAX4507 have low supply currents
(<250µA), which allows the supply pins to be driven by
other active circuitry instead of connected directly to
the power sources. In this configuration, the parts can
be used as driven fault-protected switches with V+ or
V- used as the control pins. For example, with the Vpin grounded, the output of a CMOS gate can drive the
V+ pin to turn the device on and off. This can effectively
connect and disconnect three (MAX4506) or eight
(MAX4507) separate signal lines at once. Ensure that
the driving source(s) does not drive the V+ pin more
negative than the V- pin.
Figure 3 shows a simple turn-on delay that takes
advantage of the MAX4506’s low power consumption.
The two RC networks cause gradual application of
power to the MAX4506, which in turn applies the input
signals smoothly after the amplifier has stabilized. The

two diodes discharge the two capacitors rapidly when
the power turns off. Note that the IC used to supply
power to the MAX4506/MAX4507 must be able to supply enough current to maintain the load voltage at the
supply rail in a fault condition.

Figure 5 shows MAX4506 used in front of a MAX338
unprotected 1-to-8 multiplexer. With supplies at ±15V,
VOUT of the MAX4506 clamps to ±15V; VOUT of the
MAX338 goes to ±14V. With supplies off, VOUT goes to
0V while the inputs remain at ±25V.

Use the MAX4506 with a MAX338 to enhance voltage
handling capability (Figure 6). The MAX4506 and
MAX338 share almost equal voltage drops in this configuration. For example, applying ±40V on pins 1 and 2
of the MAX4506 causes a voltage drop of about 26V
across pin 1 of the MAX4506 to pin 4 of the MAX338,
and a voltage drop of about 28V across pin 4 of the
MAX4506 to pin 8 of the MAX338. Similarly, there is a
26V drop from pin 2 of the MAX4506 to pin 5 of the
MAX338. The system’s performance exceeds each
individual part’s specification because of shared voltage drops.
Multiplexer and Demultiplexer
As shown in Figure 7, the MAX4506 can be used in
series with the output of a MAX4508 (1-to-8 multiplexer)
to act as multiplexer or demultiplexer. The MAX4508 is a
fault-protected multiplexer whose inputs are designed to
interface with harsh environments; however, its common
output is not fault protected if connected to outside signals (i.e., demultiplexer use). If the common output can
see fault signals, then it needs to be protected, and the
MAX4506 can be added to provide complete protection.

MAX4506/MAX4507
Protectors as Circuit Elements
Each of the protectors in a MAX4506/MAX4507 may be
used as a switched resistor, independent of the functions of other elements in the same package. For example, Figure 4 shows a MAX4506 with two of the
protectors used to protect the input of an op amp, and
the third element used to sequence a power supply.
Combining the circuits of Figures 3 and 4 produces a
delayed action on the switched +15V, as well as
smooth application of signals to the amplifier input.
MAX4506/MAX4507
Fault-Protected, High-Voltage
Signal-Line Protectors
As seen in Figure 7, the signal input can now be put
into pin 1 of the MAX4506 (new common output for system), and outputs can be taken at MAX4508 pins 4 to
7, and 9 to 12. This is the classic demultiplexer operation. This system now has full protection on both of the
multiplexers’ inputs and outputs.
Measuring Path Resistance
Measuring path resistance requires special techniques,
since path resistance varies dramatically with the IN
and OUT voltages relative to the supply voltages.
Conventional ohmmeters should not be used for the following two reasons: 1) the applied voltage and currents
are usually not predictable, and 2) the true resistance is
a function of the applied voltage, which is dramatically
altered by the ohmmeter itself. Autoranging ohmmeters
are particularly unreliable.
Figure 8 shows a circuit that can give reliable results.
This circuit uses a 100mV voltage source, a low-voltage-drop ammeter as the measuring circuit, and an
adjustable supply to sweep the analog voltage across
its entire range. The ammeter must have a voltage drop
of less than one millivolt (up to the maximum test current) for accurate results. A Keithley model 617 electrometer has a suitable ammeter circuit, appropriate
ranges, and a built-in voltage source designed for this
type of measurement. Find the path resistance by setting the analog voltage, measuring the current, and calculating the path resistance. Repeat the procedure at
each analog and supply voltage.
Note: It is important to use a voltage source of 100mV
or less. As shown in Figure 8, this voltage and the VIN
voltage form the VOUT voltage. Using higher voltages
could cause OUT to go into a fault condition prematurely.
High-Voltage Surge Suppression
These devices are not high-voltage arresters, nor are
they substitutes for surge suppressors. However, the
MAX4506/MAX4507 can fill a vital gap in systems that
use these forms of protection (Figure 9). Although surge
suppressors are extremely fast shunt elements, they
have very soft current knees. Their clamp voltage must
be chosen well above the normal signal levels, because
they have excessive leakage currents as the analog
signal approaches the knee. This leakage current can
interfere with normal operation when signal levels are
low or impedance is high. If the clamp voltage is too
high, the input can be damaged.
Connecting a MAX4506/MAX4507 after a surge suppressor allows the surge-suppressor voltage to be set
above the supply voltage (but within the overvoltage
limits), dramatically reducing leakage effects (Figure 9).
During a surge, the surge suppressor clamps the input
voltage roughly to the ±10V supplies.
