Product details
Overview
MAX4636EUB+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) CMOS analog switch with 4Ω max on-resistance at +5V, 14ns max turn-on time, and rail-to-rail signal handling from +1.8V to +5.5V supply. It operates in battery-powered audio routing, low-voltage data acquisition, and relay replacement circuits where low distortion (0.1% THD), high off-isolation (–65dB at 1MHz), and guaranteed break-before-make switching are required.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4636EUB+ datasheet, MAX4636EUB+ pinout, MAX4636EUB+ application, or MAX4636EUB+ equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance flatness (≤1Ω at +5V), channel matching (≤0.2Ω), crosstalk (–67dB), and µMAX package compatibility for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4636EUB+ implements two independent SPDT switches using CMOS process technology, each with noninverting logic control (IN1/IN2 directly enable NO→COM path). Its architecture guarantees break-before-make timing (≤1ns) and supports bidirectional analog signal flow across the full V+ to GND range without level shifting.
It features rail-to-rail input/output capability, low charge injection (2pC typical at +5V), and matched on-resistance between channels-critical for precision multiplexing in sample-and-hold and communications circuits where signal integrity and channel-to-channel consistency must be preserved across temperature (–40°C to +85°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (max) | 4Ω at +5V supply - enables ≤10mA continuous current per channel with <40mV drop at full load |
| On-Resistance Match | 0.2Ω max - ensures ≤0.5% gain error when routing differential or matched signals |
| Turn-On / Turn-Off Time | 14ns / 6ns max - supports >50MHz digital control rates and preserves fast analog edge fidelity |
| Rail-to-Rail Signal Range | 0V to V+ - eliminates external biasing for AC-coupled audio/video signals referenced to supply rails |
| Off-Isolation | –65dB at 1MHz - suppresses coupling between inactive channels in multi-source routing applications |
| Crosstalk | –67dB at 1MHz - prevents interference between adjacent switched paths in dense signal matrices |
| THD | 0.1% - maintains audio fidelity in line-level and headphone driver signal paths |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4636EUB+ is housed in a 10-pin µMAX package (3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.8mm, no exposed pad), optimized for high-density analog routing with minimal board footprint and thermal resistance (330mW at +70°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN1 | Logic control input for Switch 1 | Noninverting enable: high = connects COM1 to NO1; low = connects COM1 to NC1 |
| 2 NO1 | Normally open terminal of Switch 1 | Open-circuit path when IN1 = low; bidirectional analog node with 9pF off-capacitance |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Return path for supply and signal currents; must be low-impedance for THD and crosstalk performance |
| 4 NO2 | Normally open terminal of Switch 2 | Independent SPDT path mirroring NO1; matched RON and capacitance to Switch 1 |
| 5 IN2 | Logic control input for Switch 2 | Noninverting enable for second switch; compatible with 1.8V–5.5V logic levels regardless of V+ |
| 6 COM2 | Common terminal of Switch 2 | Bidirectional analog I/O node; supports rail-to-rail voltage swing up to V+ |
| 7 NC2 | Normally closed terminal of Switch 2 | Connected to COM2 when IN2 = low; complements NO2 for SPDT signal polarity selection |
| 8 V+ | Positive supply input | +1.8V to +5.5V operation; powers internal logic and switch FETs; decoupling required near pin |
| 9 NC1 | Normally closed terminal of Switch 1 | Complementary path to NO1; enables true SPDT functionality without external components |
| 10 COM1 | Common terminal of Switch 1 | Primary analog interface point for first switch; shares same RON flatness and leakage specs as COM2 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-Rail® signal handling | Supports analog inputs from GND to V+ without clipping or distortion, enabling direct interfacing with op-amp outputs and ADC inputs |
| Guaranteed break-before-make | ≤1ns interval prevents momentary shorting between NO and NC paths during switching-essential for avoiding signal glitches in multiplexed systems |
| Low charge injection (2pC typ) | Minimizes voltage step errors in sample-and-hold and switched-capacitor circuits, preserving DC accuracy over temperature |
| Logic-level tolerant inputs | IN1/IN2 accept 0V–5.5V logic signals independent of V+, allowing seamless integration with mixed-supply FPGA or microcontroller GPIO |
| Matched on-resistance (≤0.2Ω) | Ensures consistent gain and phase response across dual channels in stereo audio or differential sensor routing |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4636ETB+ | Same electrical specs, but in 3mm × 3mm thin QFN (exposed pad not present); 1951mW power dissipation vs. 330mW for µMAX | Better thermal performance in high-duty-cycle or ambient >70°C environments; requires different land pattern and reflow profile | Select MAX4636ETB+ when board layout allows QFN footprint and thermal management justifies package change |
| ADG736BRMZ-REEL | 4.5Ω max RON at +5V, 12ns tON, but only 1.8V–5.5V logic-compatible (not level-tolerant); no guaranteed break-before-make | Suitable for lower-cost, non-critical routing where sub-ns switching integrity is not required | Choose ADG736BRMZ-REEL only if logic-level tolerance and BMB timing are not design requirements |
Compared with MAX4636ETB+, the MAX4636EUB+ offers identical switching performance in a smaller, leaded µMAX package ideal for prototyping and legacy layouts-but with lower thermal headroom. Versus ADG736BRMZ-REEL, MAX4636EUB+ provides superior logic-level flexibility and guaranteed break-before-make, critical for glitch-sensitive signal chains.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for MAX4636EUB+?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for MAX4636EUB+ is +6V, but the recommended operating range is +1.8V to +5.5V. Operation above +5.5V risks permanent damage, and on-resistance degrades above +5.5V due to increased FET channel stress. Always observe the +6V absolute limit specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the MAX4636EUB+ datasheet.
Does MAX4636EUB+ support rail-to-rail analog signals?
Yes, MAX4636EUB+ supports rail-to-rail analog signal handling from GND to V+, meaning signals can swing across the full supply range without clipping or distortion. This is enabled by its CMOS switch architecture and verified across –40°C to +85°C. The MAX4636EUB+ maintains <1Ω on-resistance flatness over this range at +5V, ensuring minimal signal-dependent gain variation.
How does MAX4636EUB+ differ from MAX4635EUB+?
MAX4636EUB+ uses noninverting logic control (IN high = NO→COM), whereas MAX4635EUB+ uses inverted logic (IN high = NC→COM). All other electrical specifications-including on-resistance, switching speed, THD, and package-are identical. Pinout is identical, so PCB layout is interchangeable, but firmware logic must be inverted when substituting MAX4636EUB+ for MAX4635EUB+ or vice versa.
Can MAX4636EUB+ operate with a 1.8V logic supply while V+ is at 3.3V?
Yes, MAX4636EUB+ logic inputs (IN1, IN2) are level-tolerant up to +5.5V regardless of V+. So with V+ = 3.3V, the device fully accepts 1.8V logic-high signals (VIH ≥ 2.0V at +3V supply per spec), and draws only 1µA typical supply current. This eliminates external level shifters in mixed-voltage systems-a key advantage confirmed in the MAX4636EUB+ Applications Information section.
What is the thermal performance difference between MAX4636EUB+ and MAX4636ETB+?
MAX4636EUB+ in µMAX has a 330mW power dissipation limit at +70°C (derating 4.7mW/°C above), while MAX4636ETB+ in thin QFN supports 1951mW at +70°C (derating 24.4mW/°C). The QFN's superior thermal conductivity makes it preferable for high-duty-cycle or high-ambient-temperature use, whereas the µMAX version suits compact, low-power applications where board space is constrained and thermal load remains below 200mW.
