Product details
Overview
MAX4651EGE from Maxim Integrated is a quad, normally closed (NC), single-pole single-throw (SPST) CMOS analog switch optimized for low-voltage operation (1.8V to 5.5V). It delivers 4Ω max on-resistance at +5V, 0.2Ω max on-resistance matching between channels, and rail-to-rail analog signal handling - enabling precision signal routing in battery-powered audio systems and low-distortion data-acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4651EGE datasheet, MAX4651EGE pinout, MAX4651EGE application, or MAX4651EGE equivalent, key selection criteria include its NC configuration, 16-pin QFN (4×4 mm) package, sub-10ns switching times, -75dB off-isolation at 1MHz, and compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic levels across full supply range.
Technical Context
The MAX4651EGE implements four independent SPST switches with normally closed topology, each featuring matched CMOS transmission gates driven by dedicated digital control inputs (IN1–IN4). Its architecture ensures flat on-resistance (<0.8Ω variation over 0V to V+ signal range) and minimal charge injection (2pC typical), critical for sample-and-hold and multiplexed ADC interfaces.
Operating from a single supply (1.8V–5.5V), it maintains functional integrity down to 1.8V while delivering <0.1nA off-leakage at +25°C and supporting rail-to-rail analog signals - eliminating level-shifting requirements in portable instrumentation and sensor interface designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 4Ω max at V+ = 5V - enables low insertion loss in signal paths up to ±50mA continuous current. |
| On-Resistance Matching | 0.2Ω max between channels - ensures consistent gain/attenuation across multi-channel routing without calibration. |
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.8V to +5.5V - supports direct integration into Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) and USB-powered (5V) systems without regulators. |
| Turn-On / Turn-Off Time | 11ns / 6ns typ at 5V - suitable for high-speed multiplexing in data acquisition sampling rates up to ~30MHz. |
| Off-Isolation | -75dB at 1MHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive channels in dense analog routing layouts. |
| Rail-to-Rail Signal Range | GND to V+ - allows full-swing analog signals without clipping or external biasing networks. |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS input thresholds (VIH = 2.4V, VIL = 0.8V at 5V) - interoperable with standard microcontroller GPIOs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4651EGE is housed in a 16-pin QFN package (4mm × 4mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed pad (non-connected per datasheet). Pin 1 is located at top-left corner of top view; pin numbering proceeds counterclockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 | Digital control inputs | Active-low logic controls NC state: logic '0' closes switch (COM↔NC), logic '1' opens it. |
| COM1–COM4 | Analog common terminals | Input/output node shared between NC path and internal switch structure; connects to signal source/load. |
| NC1–NC4 | Analog normally closed terminals | Default-closed path to COM when INx = 0; open only when INx = 1 - no NO terminals present. |
| V+ | Positive supply | Single power rail (1.8V–5.5V); powers analog switch core and input buffers. |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for supply and analog signals; must be low-impedance for leakage and THD performance. |
| N.C. | No connection | Pins 3, 6, 11, 14 are unconnected internally - must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad NC SPST topology | Provides fail-safe closed-path default state - essential for safety-critical signal bypass or power-on connectivity. |
| 0.2Ω max RON matching | Enables channel-to-channel gain tracking ≤0.01% in multi-input instrumentation amplifiers and sensor arrays. |
| 2pC typical charge injection | Minimizes voltage glitch on sampled nodes - supports 16-bit+ resolution in precision sample-and-hold circuits. |
| -100dB crosstalk at 1MHz | Prevents interference between adjacent switched audio or sensor channels in compact PCB layouts. |
| 1.8V operational minimum | Permits direct use with ultra-low-power MCUs (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+) without level translation. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Audio Routing | Low-Voltage Data Acquisition |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4652EGE | Quad NO (normally open) configuration instead of NC; identical RON, timing, and package. | Suitable where default-open state is required (e.g., power-down isolation), not fail-safe closure. | Select MAX4652EGE only when circuit requires de-energized-open behavior - not drop-in replacement for MAX4651EGE. |
| ADG1411BRUZ | 4Ω max RON at 5V but rated for ±15V dual supply; higher 12ns tON/tOFF; 16-TSSOP only (no 4×4 QFN). | Better suited for industrial ±10V signal chains; incompatible pinout and thermal profile vs. MAX4651EGE QFN. | Choose ADG1411BRUZ for dual-supply systems requiring wider voltage swing - not for space-constrained 1.8V–5.5V portable designs. |
Compared with MAX4652EGE and ADG1411BRUZ, the MAX4651EGE uniquely combines NC default state, 4×4 mm QFN footprint, and guaranteed 1.8V operation - making it irreplaceable in battery-powered systems demanding fail-safe analog connectivity and minimal PCB real estate.

The MAX4651/MAX4652/MAX4653 family was designed specifically for low-voltage, low-distortion analog signal routing in portable and space-constrained systems - prioritizing rail-to-rail operation, sub-10ns switching, and ultra-low leakage over legacy high-voltage switch trade-offs.
FAQ
What is the default switch state of MAX4651EGE?
The MAX4651EGE features four normally closed (NC) SPST switches. When all digital control inputs (IN1–IN4) are logic low (≤0.8V), each COM–NC path is closed. Applying logic high (≥2.4V at 5V supply) opens the respective switch. This NC behavior provides fail-safe connectivity on power-up or controller reset - a key distinction from NO variants like MAX4652EGE.
Does MAX4651EGE support rail-to-rail analog signals?
Yes, MAX4651EGE supports rail-to-rail analog signals from GND to V+. Its CMOS switch architecture allows input voltages spanning the full supply range without distortion or clipping - verified across V+ = 1.8V to 5.5V. This eliminates need for external biasing in single-supply sensor interfaces and audio line drivers.
What is the maximum continuous current rating for MAX4651EGE?
MAX4651EGE supports ±50mA continuous current through each COM, NC, or NO terminal (though NO pins are unconnected in this variant). This rating applies across the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and is validated under worst-case thermal conditions per Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Can MAX4651EGE operate from a 1.8V supply?
Yes, MAX4651EGE is fully specified for operation down to +1.8V. At 1.8V, typical on-resistance rises to 30Ω (vs. 4Ω at 5V), but logic inputs remain compatible (VIH = 0.65×V+, VIL = 0.35×V+), and all timing, leakage, and isolation specs are maintained - enabling direct use with ultra-low-power microcontrollers.
Is the exposed pad on the MAX4651EGE QFN package electrically connected?
No, the exposed pad on the MAX4651EGE 16-pin QFN (4×4 mm) package is not internally connected. Per Maxim's datasheet Package Information section, it serves only as a thermal and mechanical anchor - and must be soldered to a PCB thermal pad for optimal thermal performance, but should not be tied to any electrical net including GND or V+.
