Product details
Overview
MAX4643EUA+ 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, 1Ω RON flatness, <20ns switching times, and <0.35nA leakage over –40°C to +85°C - ideal for precision signal routing in battery-powered audio and data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4643EUA+ datasheet, MAX4643EUA+ pinout, MAX4643EUA+ application, or MAX4643EUA+ equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, µMAX package details, truth-table–confirmed break-before-make timing, rail-to-rail analog signal handling, and real-world substitution guidance for low-voltage analog switching designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4643EUA+ integrates two independent CMOS SPST switches with complementary control logic: IN1 drives NO1 (open when high), IN2 drives NC2 (closed when high). Its internal level translators ensure TTL/CMOS-compatible input thresholds only at +5V supply, while rail-to-rail analog operation supports ±0.3V headroom relative to V+ and GND across the full supply range.
Each switch features ESD protection diodes between analog pins and V+/GND, defining leakage paths; off-isolation (–80dB at 1MHz) and crosstalk (–97dB at 1MHz) are measured with standardized 50Ω terminations per Figure 5, and break-before-make timing (7ns typ) is guaranteed only for the MAX4643 variant per Note 4 and truth table.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.8V to +5.5V single supply - enables direct interface with Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V logic without level shifters |
| RON (max) | 4Ω 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 instrumentation amplifier front-ends |
| tON/tOFF | 18ns/12ns typ - supports >25MHz switching in sample-and-hold or multiplexed ADC applications |
| Leakage Current | <0.35nA over –40°C to +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance pH or thermocouple circuits |
| Analog Signal Range | Rail-to-rail (0V to V+) - allows full-scale signal passage without clipping in unipolar systems |
| Break-Before-Make | 7ns typ (MAX4643 only) - prevents momentary shorting in power-switching or relay-replacement circuits |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4643EUA+ is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height), pin-compatible with industry-standard SOIC-8 footprints but with 50% smaller area and improved thermal resistance (4.5mW/°C derating above +70°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5 | NO1, NC2 | Normally open and normally closed analog terminals - bidirectional; NO1 conducts when IN1 = high, NC2 conducts when IN2 = high |
| 2, 6 | IN1, IN2 | Logic inputs - CMOS/TTL compatible only at +5V; threshold scales with V+ per Figure 6 |
| 3, 7 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-impedance return path for analog and digital currents |
| 4 | COM1 | Common terminal for NO1 - connects to load/sensor; bidirectional current path up to ±50mA |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply - requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for stable switching performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog operation | Supports 0V to V+ signal swing without distortion - eliminates need for external biasing in single-supply systems |
| Guaranteed RON flatness | 1Ω max variation over full analog range - maintains consistent gain/attenuation in variable-gain amplifiers |
| Low charge injection | 2pC typ - minimizes voltage glitch on sampled nodes in precision ADC front-ends |
| High off-isolation | –80dB at 1MHz - suppresses coupling between active and inactive channels in multi-signal routing |
| Ultra-low quiescent power | <0.01µW - extends battery life in always-on portable medical or IoT sensors |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Audio Routing | Low-Voltage Data Acquisition |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPST analog switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG741BRMZ | 4.5Ω RON max at +5V; 10ns tON; no break-before-make guarantee; MSOP-8 package | Lacks MAX4643EUA+'s integrated NO/NC pairing - requires two discrete switches for same function | Select when faster switching dominates over channel complementarity and BMB timing assurance |
| TS5A23157DGSR | 0.9Ω RON at +3.3V; 10ns tON; no NC/NO combination; 10-pin VSSOP package | Higher channel count (dual SPDT) but no native break-before-make - unsuitable for relay-replacement where contact sequencing is critical | Select for lower RON in 3.3V systems where NO/NC duality and guaranteed BMB are not required |
Compared with ADG741BRMZ and TS5A23157DGSR, the MAX4643EUA+ uniquely provides factory-guaranteed break-before-make timing and integrated NO/NC topology in a space-saving µMAX package - making it the only choice for compact, sequenced analog path switching in battery-constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed on-resistance specification for MAX4643EUA+ at +3V supply?
The MAX4643EUA+ guarantees 8Ω maximum on-resistance at +3V supply (V+ = +2.7V to +3.3V), with typical RON of 6Ω. This value is tested per Electrical Characteristics Table for +3V Supply, ensuring predictable insertion loss in 3.3V systems such as USB-powered instrumentation. The MAX4643EUA+ maintains rail-to-rail analog signal handling even at this reduced supply voltage.
Does MAX4643EUA+ support true break-before-make switching, and is it specified in the datasheet?
Yes, MAX4643EUA+ provides guaranteed break-before-make (BBM) timing of 7ns typical (10ns max), explicitly documented in the Dynamic Characteristics table under "Break-Before-Make (MAX4643 only)". This feature is intrinsic to the MAX4643 variant's internal logic design and ensures no overlap between NO1 and NC2 conduction - critical for preventing short-circuits in power-path or relay-replacement applications.
Can MAX4643EUA+ operate with a +1.8V supply, and what are the trade-offs?
Yes, MAX4643EUA+ operates down to +1.8V supply, with typical RON of 30Ω over temperature. However, logic input thresholds (VIH/VIL) scale with V+, so CMOS/TTL compatibility is not assured below +5V. At +1.8V, switching times increase (~22ns tON) and RON flatness degrades - the MAX4643EUA+ remains functional but optimized for precision only above +2.7V per Electrical Characteristics tables.
What is the maximum continuous current rating for the analog terminals of MAX4643EUA+?
The MAX4643EUA+ supports ±50mA continuous current on NO_, NC_, and COM_ terminals, and ±20mA on any terminal including IN_ and GND. These ratings are defined in Absolute Maximum Ratings and apply across –40°C to +85°C. Exceeding them risks permanent damage; for sustained 50mA loads, thermal derating per the µMAX package's 4.5mW/°C spec must be observed above +70°C ambient.
Is the MAX4643EUA+ pinout compatible with other devices in the MAX464x family?
Yes, MAX4643EUA+ shares identical 8-pin µMAX pinout with MAX4641EUA+ and MAX4642EUA+, including pin-for-pin mapping of IN1/IN2, COM1/COM2, NO1/NC2, GND, and V+. Functional differences (NO/NO, NC/NC, NO/NC) are implemented internally - allowing drop-in replacement in PCB layouts, though logic control sequencing must match the target switch type's truth table.
