Product details
Overview
MAX4640EUD from Maxim Integrated is a quad SPST CMOS analog switch with two normally open (NO) and two normally closed (NC) channels, designed for rail-to-rail signal routing in low-voltage systems. It operates from +2V to +12V single supply, delivers 70Ω max on-resistance at 5V, 0.5nA off-leakage at +25°C, and supports ±15kV HBM ESD protection on NO/NC pins - ideal for audio signal switching and battery-powered test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4640EUD datasheet, MAX4640EUD pinout, MAX4640EUD application, or MAX4640EUD equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance matching (0.5Ω typ), break-before-make timing (4ns), -3dB bandwidth >300MHz, and TSSOP-14 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4640EUD implements four independent bilateral CMOS SPST switches using SCR-based ESD protection circuitry on NO/NC terminals, enabling ±15kV air-gap and contact discharge immunity without latchup. Its control logic accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.4V min at 5V, VIH = 2.0V min at 3V), and internal diode+SCR clamping ensures robust Beyond-the-Rails™ operation.
Unlike the MAX4620 (four NO) and MAX4630 (four NC), the MAX4640EUD integrates mixed NO/NC topology per channel pair, supporting true break-before-make sequencing (4ns typical) critical for preventing signal shorting during reconfiguration in sample-and-hold or relay-replacement circuits.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2V to +12V single supply - enables direct integration into 3.3V and 5V systems without level shifters. |
| On-Resistance (max) | 70Ω at V+ = 5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and THD of 0.015% in 600Ω audio paths. |
| On-Resistance Matching | 0.5Ω (typ) at 5V - guarantees consistent gain/attenuation across channels in multi-path routing. |
| Off-Leakage Current | ±0.5nA at TA = +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor or precision sample-and-hold nodes. |
| -3dB Bandwidth | >300MHz - supports video, communications, and fast data-acquisition signals without roll-off. |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV HBM, ±15kV IEC 1000-4-2 air-gap, ±8kV contact - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in front-panel interfaces. |
| Break-Before-Make Time | 4ns (typ) - prevents momentary short-circuit between NO and NC paths during state transitions. |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4612EUD | Same 14-pin TSSOP package; dual NO/dual NC topology but rated only to +85°C and lacks guaranteed 0.5nA leakage spec. | Lower-cost option where ESD rating (±8kV contact) and leakage tolerance (>1nA) are acceptable. | Select MAX4612EUD only if system-level ESD testing confirms ±8kV sufficiency and leakage budget allows >1nA. |
| ADG1412YRUZ | 4-channel, NO-only configuration in 16-pin TSSOP; 0.5Ω RON matching but no NC functionality or break-before-make timing. | Suitable for unidirectional signal routing where NC path redundancy is unnecessary. | Choose ADG1412YRUZ when replacing MAX4640EUD in NO-only topologies and board layout accommodates 16-pin footprint. |
Compared with MAX4640EUD, MAX4612EUD trades ESD robustness and leakage performance for cost, while ADG1412YRUZ offers tighter RON matching but sacrifices NC functionality and break-before-make capability - making MAX4640EUD uniquely suited for mixed-path, high-reliability routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4640EUD?
The MAX4640EUD has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+ to GND) of +13V, with guaranteed functional operation from +2V to +12V. Operation near 12V requires a 0.1µF bypass capacitor placed directly between V+ and GND at the device pins to suppress ESD-induced supply transients and maintain SCR holding current stability.
Does MAX4640EUD support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, MAX4640EUD supports true rail-to-rail analog signal switching - its CMOS architecture allows input signals from GND to V+ on all NO, NC, and COM terminals without distortion or clipping. This is confirmed in the datasheet's "Input Voltage Range" specification (VCOM_/VNO_/VNC_ = 0 to V+) and verified by THD measurements of 0.015% across the full range.
How does the break-before-make feature work in MAX4640EUD?
The MAX4640EUD implements hardware-enforced break-before-make timing of 4ns (typical) between NO and NC paths within each switch pair. When an input control signal transitions, the NC path opens before the NO path closes - preventing momentary short-circuits. This behavior is intrinsic to the MAX4640EUD's internal logic design and does not require external timing circuitry.
What is the on-resistance matching specification for MAX4640EUD?
MAX4640EUD guarantees on-resistance matching of 0.5Ω (typical) between channels at V+ = 5V and TA = +25°C, with a maximum of 3Ω over temperature (-40°C to +85°C). This parameter is measured as ∆RON = RON(MAX) − RON(MIN) under specified load conditions (ICOM_ = 1mA, VNO_/VNC_ = 3.5V) and is critical for gain-matched multi-channel signal paths.
Can MAX4640EUD replace the 74HC4066 in existing designs?
Yes, MAX4640EUD is explicitly designed as a pin-compatible replacement for the 74HC4066, sharing identical 14-pin TSSOP/SO/DIP footprints and logic-level compatibility. However, unlike the 74HC4066, MAX4640EUD adds ±15kV ESD protection, lower on-resistance (70Ω vs. ~100Ω), and guaranteed leakage (0.5nA vs. unspecified), requiring no layout changes but delivering enhanced reliability.
