Product details
Overview
The MAX4639EGE from Maxim Integrated is a dual 4:1 CMOS analog multiplexer/demultiplexer designed for low-voltage signal routing in precision analog systems. It operates from +1.8V to +5.5V single supply or ±2.5V dual supplies, delivers 3.5Ω on-resistance at +5V, -85dB crosstalk at 1MHz, and 85MHz -3dB bandwidth, enabling high-fidelity audio/video switching and battery-powered data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4639EGE datasheet, MAX4639EGE pinout, MAX4639EGE application, or MAX4639EGE equivalent, this device supports rail-to-rail analog signal handling, break-before-make switching, TTL/CMOS-compatible control inputs, and bidirectional operation - critical for medical instrumentation, ATE, and relay replacement designs requiring low leakage (0.25nA at +25°C) and fast switching (tON = 18ns).
Technical Context
The MAX4639EGE implements a dual 4:1 architecture with two independent differential switch banks (COMA/NO1A–NO4A and COMB/NO1B–NO4B), each selected by 2-bit BCD address inputs (A0, A1). Its CMOS transmission-gate design ensures matched on-resistance (≤0.4Ω channel-to-channel) and flatness (≤1Ω over signal range), preserving signal integrity across the full rail-to-rail input span.
Control logic includes an active-low enable (EN) that fully disables both banks simultaneously, guaranteeing all channels are off when disabled. The device features guaranteed break-before-make timing (≥1ns) and supports dual-supply operation with symmetric ±2.5V rails, making it suitable for bipolar signal conditioning without level-shifting circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Configuration | Dual 4:1 analog multiplexer - two independent switch banks for differential or parallel signal routing |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 3.5Ω at +5V supply - enables low insertion loss and minimal voltage drop in signal paths |
| Crosstalk | -85dB at 1MHz - prevents interference between active and inactive channels in dense routing |
| -3dB Bandwidth | 85MHz - supports high-speed video, wideband sensor signals, and fast data-acquisition sampling |
| Leakage Current | 0.25nA at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends and battery-monitoring circuits |
| Switching Time (tON/tOFF) | 18ns / 7ns - allows sub-50ns channel reconfiguration for real-time test sequencing and dynamic signal routing |
| Supply Range | +1.8V to +5.5V single supply or ±2.5V dual supply - compatible with Li-ion, USB, and industrial 3.3V/5V systems |
Pinout & Package
MAX4639EGE is housed in a 16-pin QFN (4mm × 4mm, 0.5mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; pins are numbered counterclockwise starting from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | NO1A, NO2A, NO3A, NO4A | Bidirectional analog inputs for first 4:1 bank - connect to sensors, DAC outputs, or signal sources |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | NO1B, NO2B, NO3B, NO4B | Bidirectional analog inputs for second 4:1 bank - enables parallel or differential routing paths |
| 9, 10 | COMA, COMB | Common analog outputs per bank - drive ADC inputs, amplifiers, or downstream signal chains |
| 11, 12 | A0, A1 | 2-bit binary address inputs - select one of four inputs per bank using standard BCD logic |
| 13 | EN | Active-high enable - asserts both banks simultaneously; low state disconnects all channels |
| 14 | V− | Negative supply rail - tied to GND for single-supply operation or to −2.5V for dual-supply mode |
| 15 | V+ | Positive supply rail - accepts +1.8V to +5.5V; powers internal logic and switch transistors |
| 16 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected directly to system ground plane for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog inputs from V− to V+ - eliminates need for external level shifters in mixed-supply systems |
| Guaranteed RON match | ≤0.4Ω between channels - ensures consistent gain and phase response across multiplexed sensor channels |
| Break-before-make switching | ≥1ns guaranteed dead time - prevents momentary short-circuits during channel transitions |
| TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs | VIH = 2.4V, VIL = 0.8V at +5V - interfaces directly with microcontrollers and FPGAs without level translation |
| Low charge injection | 13pC - minimizes voltage glitches at output during switching, critical for precision ADC front-ends |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG732BRUZ | 32-channel single-ended mux; 4.5Ω RON; 16-bit SPI interface instead of parallel BCD | Requires serial control logic; better for high-channel-count, low-pin-count systems | Select ADG732BRUZ when expanding beyond 8 total inputs or integrating with SPI-based microcontrollers. |
| TS5A3159DCKR | Single 2:1 SPDT; 0.75Ω RON; smaller 6-pin SC70 package; no enable pin | Limited to 2-input selection per device; lacks dual-bank architecture and EN control | Select TS5A3159DCKR only for simple point-to-point switching where size and on-resistance outweigh channel count needs. |
Compared with ADG732BRUZ and TS5A3159DCKR, the MAX4639EGE uniquely provides dual 4:1 functionality with parallel address decoding and a dedicated enable pin - optimizing PCB layout efficiency and real-time channel arbitration in space-constrained, multi-signal systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4639EGE?
The MAX4639EGE has an absolute maximum V+ to V− rating of +6V. For reliable operation, it supports +1.8V to +5.5V single-supply (V− = GND) or ±2.5V dual-supply configurations. Exceeding +5.5V on V+ or applying more than ±2.5V on dual rails risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Always observe proper power sequencing: V+ first, then V−, then logic inputs.
Does MAX4639EGE support true bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, MAX4639EGE supports fully bidirectional analog signal routing - signals can pass from NOx to COMx or COMx to NOx with identical on-resistance (3.5Ω at +5V) and bandwidth (85MHz). This enables flexible use in transceiver interfaces, loopback diagnostics, and shared analog buses where directionality changes dynamically during operation.
How does the enable (EN) pin function on MAX4639EGE?
The EN pin on MAX4639EGE is active-high: when high, both 4:1 banks operate normally under A0/A1 control; when low, all eight switches open simultaneously, isolating all NOx and COMx terminals. This provides system-level power gating, fault isolation, and synchronized channel disabling - critical for safety-critical medical or ATE applications.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance flatness specification for MAX4639EGE?
MAX4639EGE guarantees ≤1Ω on-resistance flatness (RFLAT(ON)) over the full analog signal range (V− to V+) at +25°C and ≤1.2Ω across the operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). This tight flatness ensures minimal distortion and consistent gain across the entire input voltage swing - vital for precision measurement and wide-dynamic-range audio.
Can MAX4639EGE be used with a 3.3V supply?
Yes, MAX4639EGE is fully specified for +3.3V single-supply operation: RON = 6Ω (typ), leakage ≤0.35nA, tON = 20ns (max), and VIH/VIL thresholds adjust to 2.0V/0.4V. Its +1.8V to +5.5V range makes it ideal for modern 3.3V embedded systems, eliminating level shifters while maintaining performance in portable instrumentation and IoT edge nodes.
