Product details
Overview
MAX14779ATP+ from Analog Devices is a dual SPDT beyond-the-rails analog switch supporting ±25V signal range with single 3.0V–5.5V supply, 2.5Ω max on-resistance at +85°C, ±200nA max on-leakage at +85°C, and -40°C to +125°C operation - used in RS-485/CAN/USB transceiver switching and audio amplifier routing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX14779ATP+ datasheet, MAX14779ATP+ pinout, MAX14779ATP+ application, or MAX14779ATP+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation value, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The MAX14779ATP+ integrates three internal charge pumps (5V-regulated, VP, VN) to enable ±25V analog signal switching from a single low-voltage supply; VP reaches +33V (typ), VN reaches -27V (typ), and both require external 10nF/100V bypass capacitors.
It implements break-before-make timing (289–500µs) between A1/A2 and B1/B2 paths, uses separate VL supply (1.62V–5.5V) to set logic thresholds independently of VCC, and supports bidirectional ±200mA continuous current per switch with short-circuit protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±25V - enables direct switching of industrial RS-485, CAN, and audio signals without external level-shifting circuitry. |
| On-Resistance (max) | 2.5Ω at +85°C - ensures minimal voltage drop and power loss when routing ±200mA signals in precision instrumentation. |
| On-Leakage Current (max) | ±200nA at +85°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor or measurement front-end paths. |
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 3.0V to 5.5V - allows direct integration with standard microcontroller I/O rails and industrial 3.3V/5V systems. |
| Logic Supply (VL) | 1.62V to 5.5V - permits interoperability with 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V controllers without level translators. |
| Switch Configuration | Dual SPDT - provides two independent pole-throw paths (A1/A2→ACOM and B1/B2→BCOM) for signal source selection or redundancy switching. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and base station applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX14779ATP+ is housed in a 4mm × 4mm, 20-pin TQFN package (package code T2044+4C) with exposed pad connected to VN. Pin numbering follows standard top-view orientation with pin 1 at top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VP | Positive charge-pump output | Provides +33V (typ) bias for high-side switch conduction; requires 10nF/100V ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| 2 GND | Ground reference | Common return for VCC, VL, VP, VN, and analog/switch paths; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 3 VN | Negative charge-pump output | Provides -27V (typ) bias for low-side switch conduction; requires 10nF/100V ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| 4 VCC | Main power supply input | 3.0V–5.5V supply powering internal logic and charge pumps; bypass with 1µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 5 I.C. | Internally connected | No external connection required; internally tied to GND. |
| 13 VL | Logic supply input | Sets ENA/ENB/SA/SB threshold voltages (VIL = 0.3×VL, VIH = 0.7×VL); bypass with 1µF ceramic capacitor. |
| EP | Exposed pad | Internally connected to VN; must be soldered to thermal pad on PCB for thermal performance and noise immunity. |
| 10,16,18,20 NC | No connect | Not bonded; leave unconnected and unpopulated on PCB layout. |
| 6 A1, 7 A2, 19 ACOM | SPDT path A terminals | A1 and A2 are throws; ACOM is common - SA selects A1 (low) or A2 (high) when ENA = high. |
| 8 B1, 9 B2, 17 BCOM | SPDT path B terminals | B1 and B2 are throws; BCOM is common - SB selects B1 (low) or B2 (high) when ENB = high. |
| 11 ENA, 12 SA, 14 ENB, 15 SB | Control inputs | ENA/ENB enable respective SPDT paths; SA/SB select throw position; all accept 1.62V–5.5V logic levels. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Beyond-the-rails signal handling | Supports ±25V analog signals with only 3.0V–5.5V VCC - eliminates need for dual-supply op-amps or discrete charge-pump ICs in signal routing stages. |
| Break-before-make switching | 289–500µs guaranteed dead time prevents momentary shorting between A1/A2 or B1/B2 - critical for safe multiplexing of isolated communication lines. |
| Independent logic-level interface | VL pin accepts 1.62V–5.5V, enabling direct control from 1.8V FPGAs or 5V MCUs without level shifters - reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Integrated short-circuit protection | Each switch limits current during overcurrent events - protects downstream transceivers and avoids system latch-up in fault conditions. |
| High bandwidth (78MHz) | Preserves signal fidelity for USB 1.1 (12Mbps), CAN FD (up to 5Mbps), and audio band signals up to 20kHz with minimal attenuation. |
Applications
| RS-485 Transceiver Selection | USB/CAN Bus Switching |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Dynamically selecting between two RS-485 transceivers sharing one bus connector in a modular industrial controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual SPDT switch routing differential A/B lines to either transceiver while maintaining fail-safe biasing integrity.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX14774ATP+ | Quad SPST configuration (four independent switches), no break-before-make, lower on-leakage (±100nA max). | Used where four discrete signal paths are needed instead of two bidirectional selections - e.g., termination resistor switching in RS-485 nodes. | Select MAX14774ATP+ when independent enable control per path is required and SPDT functionality is unnecessary. |
| ADG5423F | Single SPDT with integrated fault protection (±40V continuous, ±60V transient), higher on-resistance (4.5Ω typ), same 20-TQFN package. | Preferred in safety-critical systems requiring overvoltage lockout and fault reporting - e.g., motor drive feedback monitoring. | Choose ADG5423F when robust fault protection and diagnostic capability outweigh the need for dual-path concurrency. |
Compared with MAX14779ATP+, MAX14774ATP+ offers greater channel independence but lacks SPDT topology and break-before-make timing, while ADG5423F trades bandwidth and leakage performance for certified fault resilience - making MAX14779ATP+ optimal for high-fidelity, concurrent dual-source selection in industrial communications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating per switch in the MAX14779ATP+?
The MAX14779ATP+ supports ±200mA continuous current through each switch path (A1/A2→ACOM and B1/B2→BCOM) across the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This rating applies under steady-state conditions with proper PCB thermal design and does not include transient surge currents.
Does the MAX14779ATP+ require external capacitors, and if so, what values and types?
Yes - the MAX14779ATP+ requires two external 10nF/100V ceramic capacitors: one between VP and GND, and another between VN and GND. These are mandatory for stable charge-pump operation. Additionally, 1µF ceramic capacitors are required on VCC and VL pins, placed as close as possible to the device.
Can the MAX14779ATP+ operate with VCC = 3.3V and VL = 1.8V simultaneously?
Yes - the MAX14779ATP+ fully supports independent supply rails: VCC can be 3.3V while VL is set to 1.8V. This configures logic thresholds at VIL = 0.54V and VIH = 1.26V, enabling direct interfacing with 1.8V FPGA I/O banks without level translation circuitry.
What is the purpose of the I.C. pin (pin 5) on the MAX14779ATP+?
The I.C. pin (pin 5) on the MAX14779ATP+ is internally connected to GND and serves no external function. It must be left unconnected on the PCB - no trace, pad, or component should be attached to this pin.
How does the MAX14779ATP+ behave when VCC is unpowered but analog signals are present?
When VCC = 0V, the MAX14779ATP+ remains functional for analog signal passage up to ±25V due to internal diode clamping to VP/VN. However, switches enter high-impedance state if |VA − VB| > 3V; below that, leakage up to ±5µA flows - sufficient for passive signal monitoring but not active switching.
