Product details
Overview
MAX4643ETA from Maxim Integrated is a dual SPST analog switch IC with one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) channel, operating from +1.8V to +5.5V single supply. It delivers 4Ω max on-resistance at +5V, 0.6Ω RON matching between channels, 1Ω RON flatness, <20ns switching times, and <0.35nA leakage over –40°C to +85°C - enabling precision signal routing in low-voltage portable audio and data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4643ETA datasheet, MAX4643ETA pinout, MAX4643ETA application, or MAX4643ETA equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, functional pin mapping, real-world use cases in battery-powered instrumentation, and validated alternative parts for design flexibility and supply continuity.
Technical Context
The MAX4643ETA integrates two independent CMOS SPST switches - one NO and one NC - sharing a common control architecture with rail-to-rail analog signal handling and logic-level translation for TTL/CMOS compatibility at +5V. Its break-before-make timing (7ns typ) prevents signal shorting during channel transitions.
Internal ESD diodes clamp analog pins to V+ and GND, limiting overvoltage stress but contributing to temperature-dependent leakage. Charge injection is tightly controlled at 2pC typ, and off-isolation reaches –80dB at 1MHz, supporting high-fidelity signal integrity in sensitive measurement paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.8V to +5.5V - enables direct integration into Li-ion–powered systems without level-shifting. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 4Ω max at +5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision sensor interfaces. |
| RON Matching | 0.6Ω max between channels - critical for matched gain paths in differential or dual-channel sampling circuits. |
| Switching Speed | tON = 18ns typ, tOFF = 12ns typ - supports >25MHz digital control of analog signals in high-speed multiplexing. |
| Analog Signal Range | Rail-to-rail - allows full-swing AC/DC signals from GND to V+, simplifying biasing in single-supply systems. |
| Leakage Current | <0.35nA over –40°C to +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sample-and-hold or pH sensor front-ends. |
| Off-Isolation | –80dB at 1MHz - suppresses crosstalk between active and inactive channels in multi-signal routing applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4643ETA is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height), thermally enhanced for low-power operation and compatible with standard fine-pitch PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5 | NO1, NC2 | Normally open (Pin 1) and normally closed (Pin 5) switch terminals - bidirectional analog I/O with identical RON and capacitance specs. |
| 2, 6 | IN1, IN2 | Digital control inputs - TTL/CMOS-compatible at +5V; drive internal gate logic to actuate respective switches. |
| 3, 7 | GND | Ground reference for analog and digital sections - must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling and ensure stable RON. |
| 4 | COM1 | Common terminal for NO1 switch - connects to signal source or load depending on IN1 state. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply input - requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND for stable switching performance and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog range | Supports full-swing signals from GND to V+, eliminating external bias networks in single-supply data acquisition. |
| Break-before-make timing | 7ns typical - prevents momentary short-circuit between COM1 and COM2 during channel switching in mixed-signal routing. |
| Low charge injection (2pC) | Minimizes voltage glitch on high-impedance nodes (e.g., integrator inputs), preserving accuracy in sample-and-hold stages. |
| Guaranteed RON flatness (1Ω) | Ensures consistent gain and linearity across the entire analog input range - essential for precision instrumentation amplifiers. |
| Ultra-low quiescent power (<0.01µW) | Enables always-on signal monitoring in energy-constrained IoT edge sensors without measurable battery drain. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Audio Routing | Portable Data-Acquisition Front-End |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG702BRMZ | Single +3V to +5.5V supply; 4.5Ω RON max at +5V; no break-before-make guarantee; 3.5ns faster tON. | Optimized for higher-speed digital control; lacks NC/NO pairing - requires external logic for default-state safety. | Select when speed >100MHz switching is required and default fail-safe path is implemented externally. |
| TS5A23157DCKR | +1.65V to +5.5V supply; 0.9Ω RON typ at +3V; 1.5pC charge injection; no guaranteed RON matching or flatness spec. | Better RON at low voltage but unguaranteed matching - unsuitable for precision differential or ratiometric sensing. | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer audio where absolute matching is non-critical and supply is ≤3.3V. |
Compared with MAX4643ETA, ADG702BRMZ offers marginally faster switching but no integrated NC/NO pairing or guaranteed RON matching, while TS5A23157DCKR improves low-voltage RON and charge injection but sacrifices specification guarantees needed for metrology-grade designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4643ETA?
The MAX4643ETA has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+) of +6V, but its specified operational range is +1.8V to +5.5V. Operation above +5.5V risks permanent damage and violates the guaranteed electrical specifications - including RON, leakage, and switching time - documented in the official datasheet. For robust design, limit V+ to ≤5.5V with proper 0.1µF local bypassing.
Does MAX4643ETA support true bidirectional analog signal flow?
Yes, MAX4643ETA supports fully bidirectional analog signal routing: NO1, NC2, and COM1 pins are interchangeable as source or load terminals. The device exhibits identical RON, capacitance, and leakage characteristics regardless of signal direction - confirmed by datasheet notes stating "NO_, NC_, and COM_ pins are identical and interchangeable" and measured parameters applying symmetrically across all analog terminals.
What is the guaranteed break-before-make time for MAX4643ETA?
The MAX4643ETA guarantees a break-before-make (BBM) time of 7ns typical and 10ns maximum over the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range. This parameter applies exclusively to the MAX4643 variant (due to its NO/NC pairing) and ensures no overlap between the turn-off of one switch and turn-on of the other - preventing transient shorts in critical signal-path reconfiguration.
Can MAX4643ETA operate reliably from a +3.3V supply?
Yes, MAX4643ETA is fully specified and guaranteed at +3.3V: RON is 8Ω max, RON matching remains 0.6Ω max, and leakage stays below 0.35nA across temperature. Its +1.8V to +5.5V range makes it ideal for modern 3.3V microcontroller I/O domains - with logic thresholds scaling proportionally (VIH = 2.0V min, VIL = 0.4V max at +3.3V).
How does the charge injection specification of MAX4643ETA impact sample-and-hold design?
With a typical charge injection of 2pC, MAX4643ETA introduces minimal voltage step error on hold capacitors - e.g., only 2mV on a 1nF capacitor. This enables accurate 12–14-bit sampling without additional correction circuitry. The value is measured and guaranteed per datasheet Figure 4, directly supporting precision S/H implementations where low glitch energy is mandatory.
