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.
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.

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.
MAX4554/MAX4555/MAX4556 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.
Force-Sense Switches would be close to (but not exactly equal to) the desired value; this would not cause any damage to the device. Switching 3-Wire Guarded Circuits Figure 7 shows how to switch a single guarded voltage or current source between two loads using the MAX4554 or MAX4556. By interchanging loads and sources, the circuits can be reversed to switch two sources to a single load. If the loads have a common connection, the switch to that node can be eliminated.

Force-Sense Switches 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.
