Product details
Overview
MAX4649EKA-T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-supply, single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) analog switch in an 8-pin SOT23 package. It features 45Ω max on-resistance, ±4.5V to ±20V dual supply or +9V to +36V single supply operation, guaranteed break-before-make switching (5ns min), and rail-to-rail signal handling - used for high-voltage signal routing in telecom test equipment and avionics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4649EKA-T datasheet, MAX4649EKA-T pinout, MAX4649EKA-T application, or MAX4649EKA-T equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance flatness (7Ω max), off-isolation (–92dB at 1MHz), crosstalk (–92dB at 1MHz), TTL/CMOS-compatible control inputs, and SOT23-8 thermal and layout constraints.
Technical Context
The MAX4649EKA-T uses CMOS switch architecture with break-before-make timing control to prevent signal shorting during state transitions. Its dual-supply design supports symmetric (±15V) or asymmetric rails, enabling true rail-to-rail analog signal conduction across COM, NO, and NC terminals without clipping.
Switch control is implemented via a single digital input (IN) referenced to GND, with no separate logic supply required. Internal level-shifting ensures TTL/CMOS compatibility across full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), while charge injection is limited to 2pC typical - critical for precision sampling and multiplexing applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 45Ω max at ±15V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in high-precision analog paths. |
| RON Flatness | 7Ω max over full signal range - maintains consistent gain and linearity when switching varying DC or AC signals. |
| Break-Before-Make Delay | 5ns guaranteed - prevents momentary shorting between NO and NC paths during switching, essential for fault-tolerant routing. |
| Off-Isolation / Crosstalk | –92dB at 1MHz - suppresses signal coupling between channels, enabling clean multi-channel test instrumentation. |
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±20V dual or +9V to +36V single - supports legacy telecom voltages and industrial HV signal chains without external level shifters. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 2nA max at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and sample-and-hold circuits. |
| Transition Time | 130ns max - enables reliable switching of audio-band and low-speed data signals without edge distortion. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4649EKA-T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with 0.65mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and exposed pad not present. Thermal resistance θJA = 112°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - COM | Analog Switch Common | Signal path hub - connects to either NO or NC depending on IN logic state; must be routed with controlled impedance for high-frequency integrity. |
| 2 - NC | Normally Closed Terminal | Connected to COM when IN = low (0.8V); open-circuit when IN = high - used for default-path or fail-safe routing. |
| 3 - GND | Ground Reference | Logic and substrate reference; must tie directly to low-impedance system ground plane to minimize noise coupling into analog paths. |
| 4 - V+ | Positive Supply Input | Bias for upper switch quadrant; sequencing requires V+ powered before V− and IN to avoid latch-up per datasheet guidance. |
| 5 - N.C. | No Connection | Internally unconnected silicon pad - must remain floating; no PCB trace or solder mask opening required. |
| 6 - IN | Digital Control Input | TTL/CMOS-compatible logic input (VIH ≥ 2.4V, VIL ≤ 0.8V); no pull-up/down needed; drives internal level shifter for supply-independent switching. |
| 7 - V− | Negative Supply Input | Bias for lower switch quadrant; absolute max rating limits V+ − V− ≤ 44V - critical for ±18V or ±20V operation. |
| 8 - NO | Normally Open Terminal | Connected to COM when IN = high (2.4V); isolated when IN = low - used for active-path selection in SPDT configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-Rail Signal Handling | Supports analog signals from V− to V+ without clipping - enables direct interfacing with op-amps, DACs, and ADCs operating at full supply rails. |
| Guaranteed Break-Before-Make | 5ns minimum delay prevents overlap between NC and NO conduction - eliminates transient shorts in redundant signal paths and relay-replacement designs. |
| No VL Logic Supply Required | Single GND-referenced IN pin eliminates need for auxiliary logic rail - simplifies power architecture in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Low Crosstalk & High Off-Isolation | –92dB at 1MHz ensures channel independence in multi-signal test fixtures and DSL line card diagnostics. |
| On-Resistance Matching | 5Ω max mismatch between NO and NC paths - preserves balanced signal integrity in differential or dual-path routing applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1419BRMZ-REEL | 4.5Ω RON typ (±15V), but only ±16.5V max supply; no single-supply mode; 10ns tTRANS. | Higher precision, lower leakage (1pA), but narrower supply range limits use in +36V telecom systems. | Select ADG1419BRMZ-REEL where ultra-low RON and leakage outweigh supply flexibility needs. |
| TMUX6219RSVR | 3.5Ω RON typ (±16.5V), 1.5pA leakage, but requires VL logic supply; no guaranteed break-before-make spec. | Better THD (0.003%) and bandwidth, but lacks deterministic switching sequence - unsuitable for fault-tolerant routing. | Select TMUX6219RSVR for high-fidelity audio or precision DAQ where break-before-make is not safety-critical. |
Compared with ADG1419BRMZ-REEL and TMUX6219RSVR, the MAX4649EKA-T uniquely combines wide supply range (+9V to +36V / ±4.5V to ±20V), guaranteed break-before-make timing, and no-VL logic interface - making it optimal for telecom infrastructure and avionics where voltage robustness and deterministic switching are mandatory.

FAQ
What supply configurations does the MAX4649EKA-T support?
The MAX4649EKA-T operates from dual ±4.5V to ±20V supplies or a single +9V to +36V supply. It does not require a separate logic supply (VL), as its IN pin is TTL/CMOS-compatible and referenced to GND. The absolute maximum V+–V− differential is 44V, and proper sequencing (V+ first, then V−, then IN) is recommended to prevent latch-up. This makes the MAX4649EKA-T suitable for legacy telecom and industrial systems with wide voltage margins.
Does the MAX4649EKA-T guarantee break-before-make switching?
Yes, the MAX4649EKA-T guarantees a minimum break-before-make delay of 5ns under specified conditions (VNO/VNC = ±10V, RL = 300Ω, CL = 35pF). This deterministic timing prevents momentary shorting between NO and NC paths during state transitions - a critical requirement in relay-replacement, redundant signal routing, and fault-tolerant avionics designs. The MAX4649EKA-T datasheet explicitly specifies this parameter across the full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
What is the on-resistance flatness specification for the MAX4649EKA-T?
The MAX4649EKA-T specifies on-resistance flatness (RFLAT(ON)) as 7Ω maximum over the full analog signal range at +25°C, and 10Ω maximum across the full operating temperature range. Flatness is defined as the difference between max and min RON measured at multiple VCOM points (e.g., ±10V, 0V). This tight flatness ensures consistent gain and minimal harmonic distortion when switching audio, sensor, or telecom signals - a key differentiator versus general-purpose analog switches.
Can the MAX4649EKA-T handle rail-to-rail analog signals?
Yes, the MAX4649EKA-T is explicitly rated for rail-to-rail analog signal handling - meaning signals at COM, NO, and NC can swing from V− to V+ without clipping or increased distortion. This capability is enabled by its CMOS process and symmetric switch architecture. The device maintains 45Ω max RON and 7Ω max flatness across that full range, supporting direct interfacing with op-amps, DACs, and ADCs operating at their full supply rails - confirmed in both the General Description and Detailed Description sections of the MAX4649EKA-T datasheet.
What is the package type and pin count of the MAX4649EKA-T?
The MAX4649EKA-T is packaged in an 8-pin SOT23 (JEDEC MO-178AA) with 0.65mm lead pitch, measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm. Pin 5 is a no-connect (N.C.) terminal, and the top-mark is "AAIE". This compact, surface-mount package supports high-density layouts in space-constrained applications like PC multimedia boards and modular test equipment - and is fully compatible with standard SOT23 reflow profiles and automated assembly processes.
