Figure 6 shows how to switch a single voltage or cur-
rent source between two loads using the MAX4554 or
MAX4556. By interchanging loads and sources, the cir-
cuits can be reversed so that they switch two sources
to a single load. The two loads are electrically connect-
ed together at one point, but may be physically sepa-
rated. This means that one force wire does not need to
be switched, but the corresponding sense wires do.
The MAX4554 has independent 3PST, NO switches dri-
ven out of phase by an external CMOS inverter, so that
one switch is on while the other is off. If both switches
were turned on at the same time, both loads would be
connected, and the resulting voltage at either load

would be close to (but not exactly equal to) the desired
value; this would not cause any damage to the device.
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.
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.
