Product details
Overview
MAX4663CAE+T from Maxim Integrated is a quad SPST analog switch IC with two normally open (NO) and two normally closed (NC) channels, guaranteed break-before-make switching, 2.5Ω max on-resistance, ±4.5V to ±20V dual-supply or +4.5V to +36V single-supply operation, and rail-to-rail signal handling-used in precision ADC multiplexing and reed-relay replacement in test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4663CAE+T datasheet, MAX4663CAE+T pinout, MAX4663CAE+T application, or MAX4663CAE+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, terminal roles, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts for signal routing, data acquisition, and avionics switching design.
Technical Context
The MAX4663CAE+T implements CMOS-based transmission-gate architecture with independent logic-level control inputs (IN1–IN4) and separate analog supply pins (V+, V−) plus dedicated logic supply (VL), enabling TTL/CMOS compatibility across full supply ranges. Its internal switch structure enforces guaranteed break-before-make timing (5–125 ns) between complementary NO/NC pairs (e.g., IN1/IN4 and IN2/IN3).
It supports rail-to-rail analog signals up to ±20V (dual) or 0–36V (single), with matched on-resistance (≤0.5Ω max between channels) and flat on-resistance (≤0.5Ω max over signal range), critical for low-distortion sampling in audio and instrumentation systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 2.5Ω max - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation in precision analog paths |
| RON Match Between Channels | 0.5Ω max - enables accurate channel-to-channel signal balancing in multiplexer applications |
| RON Flatness | 0.5Ω max over full signal range - maintains consistent gain and linearity across ±10V input swing |
| Break-Before-Make Time | 5–125 ns - prevents momentary shorting during state transitions in safety-critical switching |
| Off-Leakage Current | 5nA max at +85°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor and sample-and-hold circuits |
| Supply Range | +4.5V to +36V single or ±4.5V to ±20V dual - supports industrial, avionics, and wide-dynamic-range systems |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS inputs with VL pin - decouples logic threshold from analog supply, simplifying mixed-voltage interface design |
Pinout & Package
MAX4663CAE+T is housed in a 16-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65mm pitch, 5.0mm × 6.2mm body size, and exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8, 9, 16 | IN1–IN4 | Digital control inputs; active-high logic drives NO/NC state per channel |
| 2, 7, 10, 15 | COM1–COM4 | Analog common terminals - bidirectional signal path shared by NO and NC |
| 3, 6, 11, 14 | NC1, NC2, NC3, NC4 | Normally closed analog terminals - conduct when corresponding IN = 0 |
| 12 | VL | Dedicated logic supply input - sets input threshold independently of V+/V− |
| 4 | V− | Negative analog supply - tied to GND for single-supply operation |
| 13 | V+ | Positive analog supply - defines upper rail for rail-to-rail signal handling |
| 5 | GND | Ground reference for logic and substrate - must be low-impedance for leakage control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed break-before-make | Enables safe switching in power-sensitive or fault-tolerant systems without cross-conduction risk |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports full-scale input from V− to V+ - eliminates level-shifting in ±15V op-amp or DAC interfaces |
| 2kV ESD protection (HBM) | Reduces need for external TVS diodes in board-level ESD-prone environments like test fixtures |
| Low charge injection (20pC typ) | Minimizes voltage glitch at COM node - critical for high-resolution ADC sample-and-hold accuracy |
| Matched & flat on-resistance | Ensures <0.05% gain error across channels and <0.005% nonlinearity over ±10V range |
Applications
| ADC Multiplexing | Avionics Signal Routing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1412BRUZ | Quad SPST, 1.8Ω RON, but no guaranteed break-before-make; requires external logic for sequencing | Higher bandwidth (170MHz), better for RF-adjacent audio; unsuitable where BbM is safety-mandated | Select ADG1412BRUZ only if lower RON outweighs need for intrinsic BbM timing control |
| TS5A3157DCKR | Single-pole double-throw (SPDT), 0.75Ω RON, 5V-only supply, no dual-rail support | Optimized for portable battery-powered audio routing; lacks ±20V capability and thermal stability at +85°C | Choose TS5A3157DCKR for cost-sensitive, low-voltage consumer designs-not for industrial or avionics use |
Compared with MAX4663CAE+T, ADG1412BRUZ offers lower on-resistance but requires external timing control for break-before-make, while TS5A3157DCKR provides superior RON at 5V but cannot operate beyond +5.5V or handle rail-to-rail bipolar signals-making MAX4663CAE+T uniquely suited for wide-supply, safety-critical analog routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for MAX4663CAE+T?
The MAX4663CAE+T is rated for 0°C to +70°C operation, as indicated by the 'C' grade suffix in its part number. This commercial-grade temperature range is validated per the device's absolute maximum ratings and electrical characteristics tables, with all key parameters-including on-resistance, leakage, and switching times-guaranteed across this span. For extended-range (-40°C to +85°C) operation, the MAX4663EAE+T variant is specified.
Does MAX4663CAE+T support single-supply operation?
Yes, MAX4663CAE+T supports single-supply operation from +4.5V to +36V. In this mode, V− is connected to GND, V+ supplies the positive rail, and VL accepts a separate logic-level supply (typically +3V to +5V). The device maintains rail-to-rail analog signal handling from GND to V+, and all electrical specifications-including 2.5Ω max on-resistance and 5nA max off-leakage-are guaranteed under single-supply conditions per the datasheet's "Single Supply" electrical characteristics table.
How is break-before-make timing implemented in MAX4663CAE+T?
MAX4663CAE+T guarantees break-before-make timing intrinsically via internal circuitry that delays NO closure until NC opening is complete. Measured at 5–125 ns (typical 30 ns), this interval is process- and temperature-compensated across the full operating range. It applies specifically to the paired channels: IN1/IN4 control COM1/COM4 with NC1/NO4, and IN2/IN3 control COM2/COM3 with NC2/NO3-ensuring no overlap conduction during logic transitions.
Can MAX4663CAE+T handle bipolar analog signals?
Yes, MAX4663CAE+T handles bipolar analog signals when operated from dual supplies (±4.5V to ±20V). With V+ = +15V and V− = -15V, it passes signals from -15V to +15V rail-to-rail without clipping or distortion. The device's transmission-gate architecture and symmetric threshold design ensure linear performance across the full range, as confirmed by on-resistance vs. VCOM curves in the datasheet's Typical Operating Characteristics section.
What package type is used for MAX4663CAE+T?
MAX4663CAE+T uses a 16-pin Shrink Small Outline Package (SSOP) with 0.65mm lead pitch, 5.0mm × 6.2mm body dimensions, and gull-wing leads. The 'AE' suffix in the part number explicitly denotes this SSOP package, which is verified in the Ordering Information table and Package Information section of the datasheet. Thermal and mechanical data confirm its suitability for automated SMT assembly and industrial PCB layouts.
