Product details
Overview
MAX4642EUA+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual, single-pole/single-throw (SPST), normally closed (NC) analog switch IC operating from +1.8V to +5.5V single supply, featuring 4Ω max on-resistance at +5V, 0.6Ω max RON matching between channels, and 12ns typical turn-off time. It targets low-voltage signal routing in battery-powered instrumentation and portable audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4642EUA+ datasheet, MAX4642EUA+ pinout, MAX4642EUA+ application, or MAX4642EUA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON flatness (1Ω), rail-to-rail analog signal range, sub-0.35nA leakage over –40°C to +85°C, and µMAX-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4642EUA+ implements two independent CMOS SPST switches with NC configuration, each controlled by a dedicated logic input (IN1/IN2) referenced to GND. Its internal level translators ensure full switching functionality across the entire +1.8V to +5.5V supply range, while ESD protection diodes clamp analog pins to V+ and GND.
Switch operation is bidirectional: COM1/COM2 serve as common terminals, NC1/NC2 as normally closed paths, and all analog pins (COM, NC) support rail-to-rail signal swing. The device guarantees <20ns switching times, <0.01µW quiescent power, and maintains ≤1Ω RON flatness over the full analog voltage range at +5V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.8V to +5.5V - enables direct interface with Li-ion battery, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains without level shifters |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 4Ω max at +5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor or audio paths |
| RON Matching | 0.6Ω max between channels - critical for matched gain/phase in differential or dual-path signal conditioning |
| Turn-Off Time (tOFF) | 12ns typ - supports high-speed multiplexing up to ~30MHz without significant settling delay |
| Analog Signal Range | Rail-to-rail (0V to V+) - preserves full dynamic range of baseband signals in portable ADC/DAC interfaces |
| Leakage Current | <0.35nA over –40°C to +85°C - prevents DC offset drift in high-impedance sensor front-ends |
| Off-Isolation | –80dB at 1MHz - suppresses crosstalk between active and inactive signal paths in multi-channel systems |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4642EUA+ is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height), compatible with standard SO-8 footprints but with reduced footprint area and thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5 | NC1, NC2 | Normally closed analog terminals - conduct to COM when IN = LOW; must be terminated or routed per signal integrity requirements |
| 2, 6 | IN1, IN2 | Digital control inputs - TTL/CMOS-compatible at +5V; logic LOW (≤0.8V) closes switch, HIGH (≥2.4V) opens it |
| 3, 7 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference - requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane to minimize noise coupling |
| 4 | COM1 | Common terminal for first switch - bidirectional path between NC1 and COM1; connects to signal source or load |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply input - must be bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor directly to GND for stable switching performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports full 0V to V+ swing without clipping - essential for preserving fidelity in audio and sensor signal chains |
| Guaranteed RON flatness | 1Ω max variation across signal range at +5V - minimizes harmonic distortion in AC-coupled applications |
| Low charge injection | 2pC typical - reduces glitch-induced errors in sample-and-hold and switched-capacitor circuits |
| High off-isolation and low crosstalk | –80dB off-isolation / –97dB crosstalk at 1MHz - enables clean channel separation in multi-input data acquisition |
| Ultra-low quiescent power | <0.01µW - extends battery life in always-on monitoring systems without compromising switching speed |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4642EUA+ | 8-pin µMAX, NC configuration, 4Ω RON @ +5V, –40°C to +85°C | Optimized for low-leakage, rail-to-rail operation in battery-powered systems | Select for designs requiring guaranteed RON flatness (1Ω) and <0.35nA leakage over full temperature range |
| ADG721BRMZ-REEL | 8-pin MSOP, NC configuration, 4.5Ω RON @ +5V, –40°C to +125°C | Higher temperature rating; slightly higher RON and leakage (0.5nA) | Prefer for extended-temperature industrial environments where 125°C operation is mandatory |
Compared with MAX4642EUA+, ADG721BRMZ-REEL offers wider temperature range but trades off leakage current and RON flatness; neither is pin-compatible, requiring layout revision for substitution.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the MAX4642EUA+?
The MAX4642EUA+ has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+) of +6V, but its specified operational range is +1.8V to +5.5V. Operating above +5.5V risks violating electrical specifications and may cause permanent damage. For reliable performance in battery-powered designs, V+ should be maintained within the +1.8V to +5.5V range, with 0.1µF decoupling at the V+ pin to suppress transients.
Does the MAX4642EUA+ support bidirectional analog signal flow?
Yes, the MAX4642EUA+ supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow between COM and NC terminals. Both sides function identically as signal paths, with identical RON, leakage, and capacitance characteristics. This allows flexible routing-e.g., using COM as input and NC as output or vice versa-without performance degradation, provided the analog voltage remains within the rail-to-rail range (0V to V+).
How does the MAX4642EUA+ achieve low leakage current over temperature?
The MAX4642EUA+ achieves <0.35nA leakage over –40°C to +85°C through optimized CMOS process design and integrated ESD protection diode balancing. Leakage originates primarily from reverse-biased ESD diodes on analog pins; Maxim's layout and transistor sizing minimize thermal drift. Measured data confirms leakage stays below 0.35nA across the full range, making MAX4642EUA+ suitable for high-impedance sensor interfaces where offset stability is critical.
Can the MAX4642EUA+ be used with a 3.3V microcontroller GPIO driving the IN pins?
Yes, the MAX4642EUA+ accepts 3.3V GPIO signals directly on IN1/IN2 pins. At V+ = +3.3V, the logic thresholds are VIH = 2.0V min and VIL = 0.4V max, well within 3.3V logic high/low margins. No level-shifting circuitry is needed. The internal level translators ensure proper gate drive for the analog switches regardless of supply voltage, maintaining full RON and timing specs across the +1.8V to +5.5V range.
What is the thermal performance of the MAX4642EUA+ in the µMAX package?
The MAX4642EUA+ in the 8-pin µMAX package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 110°C/W, with 362mW maximum power dissipation at +70°C ambient. Derating is 4.5mW/°C above +70°C. In typical operation (<0.01µW quiescent power), self-heating is negligible. For high-current analog paths (±20mA continuous), board layout with thermal vias to inner ground planes is recommended to maintain junction temperature below +150°C.
