Product details
Overview
MAX4645EUA from Maxim Integrated is a single-pole, single-throw (SPST), normally open (NO) CMOS analog switch optimized for low-distortion signal routing in battery-powered and precision systems. It delivers 2.5Ω typical on-resistance at +5V, 0.4Ω max on-resistance flatness, 12ns turn-on time, and rail-to-rail analog signal handling from +1.8V to +5V supply - enabling high-fidelity audio switching and low-voltage data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4645EUA datasheet, MAX4645EUA pinout, MAX4645EUA application, or MAX4645EUA equivalent, this device is selected for its guaranteed low leakage (±0.25nA at +25°C), -75dB off-isolation at 1MHz, 0.014% THD, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4645EUA implements a CMOS transmission-gate architecture with matched P/N channel devices to achieve flat on-resistance over the full 0V to V+ signal range. Its logic input accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds (VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.4V at +5V), enabling direct interface with microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting.
Internal ESD protection and diode clamping allow safe operation with analog signals extending slightly beyond supply rails (–0.3V to V+ + 0.3V), while charge injection is limited to 5pC - critical for sample-and-hold accuracy and low-glitch multiplexing in data converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 2.5Ω typ at +5V - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation in low-level analog paths |
| On-Resistance Flatness | 0.4Ω max - maintains consistent gain and linearity across full signal swing (0V to V+) |
| Turn-On / Turn-Off Time | 12ns / 8ns typ - supports high-speed multiplexing up to ~30MHz without timing skew |
| Off-Isolation | –75dB at 1MHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive channels in multi-signal routing |
| Off-Leakage Current | ±0.25nA max at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and integrator circuits |
| Total Harmonic Distortion | 0.014% typ - enables clean audio and instrumentation signal switching without audible or measurable distortion |
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.8V to +5.5V - supports direct integration into Li-ion, coin-cell, and mixed-voltage embedded systems |
Pinout & Package
MAX4645EUA is housed in a 5-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint and 1.1mm height - suitable for dense PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Logic control input | Active-high digital enable; drives internal gate stack to connect COM–NO when high |
| 2 - NO | Normally open analog terminal | Open-circuit when IN = low; connects to COM only when switch is enabled |
| 3 - GND | Analog and digital ground reference | Common return path for supply, logic, and signal currents; must be low-impedance |
| 4 - COM | Analog common terminal | Signal input/output node shared between NO (MAX4645) or NC (MAX4646); bidirectional |
| 5 - V+ | Positive supply rail | Powers analog switch core and logic interface; bypassing with 0.1µF to GND recommended |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog inputs from GND to V+ without clipping or distortion - essential for full-scale ADC/DAC interfacing |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | Direct interface with 3.3V/5V microcontrollers and FPGAs - eliminates external level shifters |
| Low charge injection (5pC) | Minimizes voltage glitch on sampled nodes - critical for precision sample-and-hold and switched-capacitor circuits |
| Guaranteed RON flatness | 0.4Ω max variation across signal range - ensures stable gain and predictable settling in gain-switching applications |
| Ultra-low off-leakage | ±0.25nA max at +25°C - prevents DC error accumulation in high-Z sensor front-ends and integrators |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG801BRMZ-REEL | 2.3Ω RON typ at +5V; 0.3Ω flatness; 10ns tON; operates down to +1.4V supply | Lower RON and faster switching, but higher 1.5nA off-leakage limits use in ultra-high-Z sensor paths | Select ADG801BRMZ-REEL when speed and lowest on-resistance outweigh leakage sensitivity. |
| TS5A23157DCUR | 0.9Ω RON typ at +3.3V; dual SPDT; 10ns tON; –65dB isolation at 1MHz | Dual-channel topology and lower RON suit compact multi-path routing, but lacks rail-to-rail capability below 2.5V | Select TS5A23157DCUR when dual independent switches and sub-1Ω RON are required in 3.3V systems. |
Compared with ADG801BRMZ-REEL and TS5A23157DCUR, the MAX4645EUA offers superior off-isolation (–75dB vs. –65dB), lower leakage (0.25nA vs. 1.5nA), and guaranteed rail-to-rail operation down to +1.8V - making it optimal for precision, low-power, single-channel signal gating where signal integrity is paramount.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the MAX4645EUA?
The MAX4645EUA has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+) of +6V, but its specified operating range is +1.8V to +5.5V. Operation above +5.5V risks permanent damage, and electrical characteristics are only guaranteed within the +1.8V to +5.5V range per the datasheet. The MAX4645EUA must never be biased beyond these limits even momentarily.
Does the MAX4645EUA support rail-to-rail analog signals?
Yes, the MAX4645EUA supports rail-to-rail analog signals - meaning it can pass voltages from GND to V+ without clipping or distortion. This capability is confirmed in both the General Description and Electrical Characteristics sections, and applies across its full +1.8V to +5.5V supply range. The MAX4645EUA achieves this via CMOS transmission-gate design with matched P/N devices.
What is the on-resistance flatness specification for the MAX4645EUA?
The MAX4645EUA guarantees on-resistance flatness of 0.4Ω maximum over its full analog signal range (0V to V+). This value is measured as the difference between maximum and minimum RON across the signal swing and is explicitly specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for +5V and +3V supplies. Flatness directly impacts gain stability in variable-gain and multiplexer applications.
Can the MAX4645EUA be used with a 3.3V logic interface?
Yes, the MAX4645EUA is fully compatible with 3.3V logic interfaces. Its input thresholds are TTL/CMOS-compatible: VIH = 2.0V min at +3.3V supply and VIH = 2.4V min at +5V supply. A 3.3V logic high (≥2.0V) reliably turns the MAX4645EUA on, and the device draws only 0.1µA input current - ensuring minimal loading on FPGA or MCU GPIO pins driving the MAX4645EUA.
What is the off-isolation performance of the MAX4645EUA at 10MHz?
The MAX4645EUA provides –55dB off-isolation at 10MHz, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under +5V and +3V supply conditions. This is lower than its –75dB performance at 1MHz, reflecting typical frequency-dependent degradation in analog switch isolation. System designers must verify isolation requirements at their target operating frequency - the MAX4645EUA remains effective for RF-adjacent and broadband signal routing up to ~5MHz.
