Product details
Overview
MAX4687EBT from Maxim Integrated is a single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch with normally closed (NC) configuration, operating from +1.8V to +5.5V supply. It delivers 2.5Ω max on-resistance at +3V, 0.4Ω max RON matching, and 12ns max turn-off time, enabling low-loss signal routing in space-constrained portable audio and power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4687EBT datasheet, MAX4687EBT pinout, MAX4687EBT application, or MAX4687EBT equivalent, key selection criteria include NC default state, UCSP-6 package footprint (1.50mm × 1.02mm), rail-to-rail analog signal handling (0V to V+), and 1.8V logic compatibility for battery-powered system integration.
Technical Context
The MAX4687EBT implements a CMOS transmission-gate architecture optimized for low-voltage operation, with guaranteed break-before-make timing only in the MAX4688 variant-this device lacks B-B-M functionality. Its digital control input accepts 1.8V–5.5V logic levels independent of V+, supporting mixed-supply interface without level shifters.
Analog performance is characterized by 1Ω max RON flatness over full signal range and −90dB off-isolation at 100kHz, ensuring minimal crosstalk and signal degradation in audio/video routing and precision sensor multiplexing applications where channel-to-channel consistency is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RON (max) | 2.5Ω at +3V supply - enables <10mV drop at 10mA signal current, preserving signal integrity in low-voltage audio paths |
| RON matching | 0.4Ω max - ensures consistent gain/attenuation across multiple channels in stereo or multi-signal systems |
| tOFF (max) | 12ns - supports high-speed switching in data acquisition and communications signal routing |
| Supply range | +1.8V to +5.5V - compatible with Li-ion, coin-cell, and 3.3V/5V system rails without external regulators |
| Logic compatibility | 1.8V input threshold - interfaces directly with modern low-voltage microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| Off-isolation | −90dB at 100kHz - suppresses coupling between inactive channels in multi-source audio/video switching |
| Leakage (max) | 1nA at +85°C - maintains accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends and battery-monitoring circuits |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4687EBT uses a 6-bump UCSP-6 (chip-scale) package measuring 1.50mm × 1.02mm with 0.5mm bump pitch. The package is designed for direct die attachment to PCBs using standard reflow profiles compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020A.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive supply voltage input | Must be applied before analog signals to prevent latch-up; supports 1.8V–5.5V operation |
| IN | Digital control input | Active-high logic input; drives internal gate to close NC path when high, open when low |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for supply and analog signals; must be low-impedance for leakage and noise control |
| NC | Normally closed analog terminal | Connected to COM when IN = low; breaks connection when IN = high - default-closed safety path |
| COM | Common analog terminal | Bidirectional signal port; connects to NC (default) or floats when IN = high |
| I.C. | Internally connected bump | No external connection required; internal tie to substrate or guard ring for ESD and noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| UCSP-6 package | 1.50mm × 1.02mm footprint - reduces board area by >70% vs. SOT-23, enabling ultra-compact portable designs |
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | 0V to V+ analog range - passes full-supply-range signals without clipping in audio and sensor interfaces |
| Low charge injection (40pC) | Minimizes voltage glitch on sampled nodes - critical for precision ADC front-ends and sample-hold circuits |
| −95dB crosstalk (MAX4688 only) | Not applicable to MAX4687EBT - this parameter is exclusive to the SPDT MAX4688 variant per datasheet specification table |
| 1.8V logic compatible inputs | Accepts 1.4V VIH and 0.5V VIL across temperature - eliminates need for external level translators in 1.8V/3.3V mixed-signal systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4686EBT-T | SPST NO configuration (open at IN = low); identical RON, timing, and package | Used where default-open signal path is required (e.g., enable-only power gating) | Select MAX4686EBT-T when fail-safe open state is needed; MAX4687EBT provides fail-safe closed path |
| TMUX1574DSGR | SPST NC, 3.5Ω RON at 3V, 16-pin WQFN, 1.8V–5.5V supply, no UCSP option | Larger footprint and higher RON limit use in ultra-low-distortion audio; suitable for non-space-constrained industrial controls | Choose TMUX1574DSGR only if UCSP-6 assembly capability is unavailable; otherwise MAX4687EBT offers superior size/performance |
Compared with MAX4686EBT-T (NO variant) and TMUX1574DSGR (larger-package alternative), the MAX4687EBT uniquely combines NC default behavior, 1.50mm × 1.02mm UCSP-6 footprint, and sub-3Ω RON-making it optimal for battery-powered devices requiring automatic signal continuity on power-up or fault.

FAQ
What is the default state of the MAX4687EBT analog switch?
The MAX4687EBT is a normally closed (NC) SPST analog switch: when the IN control input is low (≤0.5V), the NC terminal is connected to the COM terminal. When IN is high (≥1.4V), the connection opens. This default-closed behavior ensures signal continuity during power-up or controller reset, making MAX4687EBT ideal for fail-safe audio routing and backup power path applications.
Does the MAX4687EBT support rail-to-rail analog signal operation?
Yes, the MAX4687EBT supports rail-to-rail analog signal handling from 0V to V+ across its entire specified supply range (+1.8V to +5.5V). This allows full-supply-range signals-such as audio waveforms or sensor outputs-to pass without clipping or distortion. The datasheet confirms ≤1Ω RON flatness over the full 0V–V+ range at +3V supply, ensuring consistent performance regardless of signal DC offset.
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for the MAX4687EBT?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (V+) for the MAX4687EBT is +6V, but the recommended operating range is +1.8V to +5.5V. Exceeding +6V may cause permanent damage. At +5.5V, RON drops to ~1.5Ω (typical), improving conduction efficiency-but designers must ensure analog signals on NO/NC/COM do not exceed V+ + 0.3V to avoid diode clamping and excessive leakage.
Can the MAX4687EBT be used with 1.8V logic controllers?
Yes, the MAX4687EBT features 1.8V logic-compatible inputs: VIH is guaranteed ≥1.4V and VIL ≤0.5V over temperature, allowing direct interface with 1.8V GPIOs without level shifters. Its IN pin tolerates voltages up to +5.5V regardless of V+, enabling robust interfacing with mixed-voltage systems-e.g., a 1.8V FPGA controlling a +3.3V-powered MAX4687EBT while driving IN to 3.3V.
Is break-before-make timing supported on the MAX4687EBT?
No, break-before-make (B-B-M) timing is not supported on the MAX4687EBT. B-B-M is a feature exclusive to the MAX4688 (SPDT) variant, as explicitly stated in the datasheet's Features section and Electrical Characteristics table. The MAX4687EBT is an SPST NC switch with no alternate path; therefore, B-B-M is irrelevant to its operation. For applications requiring guaranteed channel isolation during switching, the MAX4688EBT-T must be selected instead.
