Product details
Overview
MAX4691ETE+T from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel analog multiplexer IC configured as a single-pole, 8-throw (SP8T) switch with rail-to-rail signal handling, 25Ω max on-resistance at ±4.5V dual supplies, guaranteed break-before-make timing, and operation from +2V to +11V single supply or ±2V to ±5.5V dual supplies. It serves in precision analog signal routing for battery-powered instrumentation and audio interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4691ETE+T datasheet, MAX4691ETE+T pinout, MAX4691ETE+T application, or MAX4691ETE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching (≤3Ω max at ±4.5V), low leakage (≤20nA at +85°C), fast enable timing (≤150ns tON at +5V), and TQFN-EP package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4691ETE+T implements a CMOS transmission-gate architecture with independent logic-level translators driving analog switches directly from V+ and V− rails. Its digital control uses three address inputs (A, B, C) and an active-high enable (EN) to select one of eight bidirectional analog paths between common X and inputs X0–X7.
It supports true rail-to-rail analog signal swing (0V to V+ or V− to V+) under single- or dual-supply operation, with internal ESD diodes clamping signals beyond supply rails. Break-before-make switching ensures no signal shorting during channel transitions, critical for avoiding transient glitches in measurement systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Configuration | 8:1 analog multiplexer (SP8T), bidirectional signal path |
| Supply Range | +2V to +11V single supply or ±2V to ±5.5V dual supply - enables flexible power architecture in mixed-signal systems |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 25Ω max at ±4.5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor front-ends |
| RON Matching | 3Ω max between channels at ±4.5V - preserves amplitude consistency across multiplexed sensor channels |
| Leakage Current | ±20nA max at +85°C - maintains DC accuracy in high-impedance pH or thermocouple circuits |
| Enable Turn-On Time | 150ns max at +5V - supports rapid channel scanning in data acquisition systems up to ~5 MHz effective rate |
| Break-Before-Make | 2ns min - eliminates cross-conduction risk when switching between voltage sources or sensors |
Pinout & Package
MAX4691ETE+T is housed in a 16-pin 3mm × 3mm TQFN-EP (thin quad flat no-lead with exposed pad) package, optimized for thermal performance and board space efficiency in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| X | Analog common terminal | Output node shared by all 8 switched paths; connects to ADC input or amplifier stage |
| X0–X7 | Analog input terminals | Eight independent bidirectional analog inputs; support rail-to-rail voltage range (V− to V+) |
| A, B, C | Digital address inputs | 3-bit binary select lines determining active channel (X0–X7); TTL/1.8V logic compatible |
| EN | Digital enable input | Active-high global enable; drives all switches open when logic low - used for power gating or fault isolation |
| V+ | Positive supply rail | Supplies analog switch gates and digital logic; must be bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor near pin |
| V− | Negative supply rail | Required for dual-supply operation; connect to GND for single-supply use - defines lower analog signal limit |
| GND | Digital ground reference | Reference for logic inputs only; analog signals are floating between V+ and V− - no ground return path needed |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Internally connected to V+; soldering improves thermal dissipation and reduces junction temperature rise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports full analog swing from V− to V+, enabling direct interfacing with op-amps and sensors without level-shifting |
| Guaranteed break-before-make | Ensures >2ns dead time between channel disconnect and reconnect - prevents momentary shorts in power-sensitive circuits |
| Low 1nA typical leakage | Minimizes current injection into high-Z nodes (e.g., piezoelectric sensors or electrophysiology electrodes) |
| 1.8V logic compatibility | Accepts 1.8V logic thresholds at +3V supply - simplifies interface with modern ultra-low-power microcontrollers |
| High off-isolation (−82dB) | Reduces crosstalk between inactive channels at 100kHz - critical for multi-channel audio or RF signal routing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG708BRUZ | 8:1 mux in 16-TSSOP; 4.5Ω RON at +5V; no dual-supply support; 30ns tON | Optimized for +5V-only systems with tighter timing budgets but lacks rail-to-rail swing below 0V | Select when board space allows TSSOP and system operates strictly at +5V with no negative signal components |
| TMUX1308PWR | 8:1 mux in 16-TSSOP; 4.3Ω RON at +5V; supports +1.8V to +5.5V supply; no V− pin | Single-supply only; lower RON but no bipolar capability - unsuitable for ±5V sensor interfaces | Prefer for ultra-low-voltage (1.8V) microcontroller interfaces where dual-supply operation is unnecessary |
Compared with ADG708BRUZ and TMUX1308PWR, the MAX4691ETE+T uniquely supports true dual-supply operation (±2V to ±5.5V), enabling seamless integration with bipolar sensor front-ends and legacy industrial signal chains without external level shifters or supply splitting.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX4691ETE+T?
The MAX4691ETE+T supports rail-to-rail analog signal handling from V− to V+. With dual ±5V supplies, this spans −5V to +5V; with single +5V supply (V− = GND), it covers 0V to +5V. Absolute maximum ratings prohibit exceeding V− − 0.3V or V+ + 0.3V at any analog pin - always observe these limits to avoid ESD diode conduction and potential damage.
Does the MAX4691ETE+T require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its digital control pins?
No, the MAX4691ETE+T does not require external biasing on A, B, C, or EN pins. Its digital inputs have built-in leakage-limited structure with VIH = +2V (min) and VIL = +0.8V (max) at +5V supply, and are fully compatible with standard CMOS/TTL logic drivers. Floating inputs are not recommended - tie unused address lines to GND or V+ to ensure deterministic channel selection.
Can the MAX4691ETE+T operate reliably at +2.5V single supply?
Yes, the MAX4691ETE+T is specified for single-supply operation from +2V to +11V. At +2.5V, typical on-resistance rises to ~70Ω (max), and switching times increase - but functionality remains guaranteed across −40°C to +85°C. For low-RON performance, use ≥+3V supply; for ultra-low-power sleep modes, +2.5V is viable with relaxed timing requirements.
How is thermal performance managed in the MAX4691ETE+T's TQFN-EP package?
The MAX4691ETE+T's TQFN-EP package features an exposed thermal pad (EP) that must be soldered to a PCB copper pour connected to V+. This provides low-thermal-resistance path from die to board, limiting junction temperature rise. With proper layout (≥200mm² copper area), θJA drops to ~135°C/W - enabling continuous operation at full rated current without derating in compact enclosures.
Is the MAX4691ETE+T pin-compatible with other members of the MAX4691–MAX4694 family?
No, the MAX4691ETE+T is not pin-compatible with MAX4692ETE+T, MAX4693ETE+T, or MAX4694ETE+T. While all share the same 16-pin TQFN-EP footprint, their pin functions differ significantly: MAX4691 uses X0–X7 and X; MAX4692 uses X0–X3/Y0–Y3/X/Y; MAX4693 uses X0/X1/Y0/Y1/Z0/Z1/X/Y/Z; MAX4694 adds W0/W1 and separate control logic. PCB layout must match the exact variant.
