Product details
Overview
MAX4646EUK-T from Maxim Integrated is a normally closed (NC) single-pole, single-throw (SPST) CMOS analog switch optimized for low-voltage signal routing. It delivers 2.5Ω typical on-resistance at +5V supply, 0.4Ω max on-resistance flatness over rail-to-rail signal range, and 8ns turn-off time - enabling high-fidelity audio switching and precision data-acquisition paths in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4646EUK-T datasheet, MAX4646EUK-T pinout, MAX4646EUK-T application, or MAX4646EUK-T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON ≤3.5Ω at +3V, ±0.25nA max off-leakage at +25°C, -75dB off-isolation at 1MHz, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4646EUK-T implements a complementary MOSFET switch architecture with matched P/N channel pairs to achieve rail-to-rail analog conduction (GND to V+) and low charge injection (5pC typ). Its logic input accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds (VIL = 0.4V/0.8V, VIH = 2.0V/2.4V) across +1.8V to +5.5V supply operation.
Switch state inversion is inherent: logic low enables conduction (NC path closed), while logic high disables it (NC path open). The device guarantees RON flatness ≤0.4Ω and leakage ≤±0.25nA over -40°C to +85°C, supporting stable performance in portable medical sensors and automated test equipment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 2.5Ω typ at +5V; ensures minimal signal attenuation in 50Ω–600Ω audio/data paths |
| On-Resistance Flatness | 0.4Ω max; maintains consistent gain/attenuation across full 0V to V+ analog swing |
| Turn-Off Time (tOFF) | 8ns typ; supports >10MHz switching in multiplexed ADC sampling or video routing |
| Off-Leakage Current | ±0.25nA max at +25°C; preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends |
| Off-Isolation | -75dB at 1MHz; suppresses crosstalk between adjacent channels in multi-signal systems |
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.8V to +5.5V; enables direct interface with Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) and logic-supply rails |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NC solid-state switch controlling stimulus/sense paths; driven by FPGA I/O with no external drivers needed. Use Value: 2.5Ω RON and 0.4Ω flatness ensure calibrated signal integrity; eliminates relay wear-out, bounce, and coil drive complexity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4645EUK-T | Normally open (NO) configuration; identical RON, timing, and leakage specs | Requires inverted logic control for same functional behavior; unsuitable where default-closed path is mandatory | Select MAX4645EUK-T only when system design requires default-open safety state |
| ADG801BRMZ-REEL7 | 2.3Ω RON at +5V but higher 10ns tOFF; 0.5nA max leakage at +25°C | Higher leakage may degrade accuracy in >10MΩ sensor interfaces; same SOT23-5 footprint | Prefer MAX4646EUK-T for ultra-low-leakage precision applications; ADG801 offers marginally lower RON |
Compared with MAX4645EUK-T and ADG801BRMZ-REEL7, the MAX4646EUK-T uniquely combines NC default state, 0.25nA leakage guarantee, and 8ns tOFF - making it optimal for fail-safe signal routing and high-speed multiplexing where leakage-induced offset and switching latency are critical.

FAQ
What is the default switch state of the MAX4646EUK-T?
The MAX4646EUK-T is a normally closed (NC) analog switch: when the IN pin is logic low (≤0.8V at +5V supply), the COM-to-NC path is conductive. When IN is logic high (≥2.4V), the path opens. This default-closed behavior is intrinsic to the MAX4646EUK-T silicon design and differs from the NO MAX4645EUK-T variant.
Does the MAX4646EUK-T support rail-to-rail analog signals?
Yes, the MAX4646EUK-T supports rail-to-rail analog signals from GND to V+. Its CMOS switch architecture allows input and output voltages spanning the full supply range without clipping or increased distortion - confirmed by specifications showing VCOM, VNO, and VNC rated from 0V to V+ under all operating conditions.
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for the MAX4646EUK-T?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for the MAX4646EUK-T is +6V, but the recommended operating range is +1.8V to +5.5V. Operating at +5.5V ensures full compliance with all electrical characteristics including 2.5Ω RON and ±0.25nA leakage; exceeding +6V risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Can the MAX4646EUK-T be used with a 1.8V logic supply?
Yes, the MAX4646EUK-T operates with logic inputs compatible down to +1.8V supply: VIL is guaranteed ≤0.4V and VIH ≥2.0V at +3V supply, and the device functions correctly with 1.8V CMOS logic levels when V+ ≥1.8V. No level-shifting circuitry is required for interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers.
What package type is used for the MAX4646EUK-T?
The MAX4646EUK-T uses the SOT23-5 package: a 5-pin, surface-mount outline measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm with 1.1mm height. Pin 1 is marked by lettering nearest the package edge, and the pinout is IN (1), NO (2), GND (3), COM (4), V+ (5) - matching the functional diagram in the MAX4646 datasheet Rev 2.
