Product details
Overview
MAX4694ETE+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) analog switch IC operating from a single +2V to +11V supply, featuring rail-to-rail signal handling, 1nA max leakage current at +85°C, 35Ω max on-resistance at +5V, and guaranteed break-before-make switching-used in audio/video routing and battery-powered cellular phone front-end signal selection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4694ETE+ datasheet, MAX4694ETE+ pinout, MAX4694ETE+ application, or MAX4694ETE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include single-supply operation range (+2V to +11V), SPDT channel count (4), on-resistance flatness (≤8Ω at +5V), off-isolation (−80dB at 100kHz), and TQFN-EP package compatibility with high-density portable PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4694ETE+ implements four independent bidirectional SPDT switches controlled by two digital inputs (A for W/Y channels, B for X/Z channels), with no enable (EN) or address (C) pins-unlike MAX4691–MAX4693. It supports only single-supply operation (V− tied to GND), eliminating dual-rail biasing complexity.
Each switch guarantees break-before-make timing (≤2ns), low charge injection (0.2pC typical at +5V), and rail-to-rail analog signal range (0V to V+). Dynamic performance includes 45ns typical turn-on time and 100ns typical turn-off time at +5V with 300Ω/35pF load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | +2V to +11V single supply; V− must be connected to GND-no dual-supply support. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 35Ω max at +5V; ensures minimal signal attenuation in audio and sensor paths. |
| On-Resistance Flatness | 8Ω max over full signal range at +5V; maintains consistent gain across input voltage swing. |
| Off-Isolation | −80dB at 100kHz; prevents crosstalk between inactive SPDT paths in multi-channel routing. |
| Leakage Current | ±20nA max at +85°C; preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor or precision reference switching. |
| Switching Speed | tON = 45ns / tOFF = 100ns typical at +5V; supports fast channel reconfiguration in modem and RF front-end control. |
| Logic Compatibility | 1.8V logic-compatible at +3V supply; enables direct interface with modern low-voltage microcontrollers. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4694ETE+ uses a 16-pin TQFN-EP (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed pad (EP) connected to V+. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official datasheet revision 6 (2012).

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports full 0V to V+ input/output swing-enables direct interfacing with ADCs, DACs, and op-amps without level-shifting. |
| Guaranteed break-before-make | ≤2ns minimum dead time prevents momentary short-circuit during channel switching in power-sensitive audio paths. |
| Low 1nA leakage at +85°C | Minimizes error in high-impedance sensor multiplexing (e.g., thermocouples, pH electrodes) over industrial temperature range. |
| 1.8V logic-compatible inputs | Direct interface with 1.8V/3.3V microcontrollers eliminates external level shifters in portable designs. |
| Quad SPDT architecture with shared controls | A/B inputs independently select W/Y and X/Z pairs-reduces GPIO count vs. discrete SPDTs in compact RF front-end modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4694EBE+T | Same die, 16-bump UCSP (2mm × 2mm); no exposed pad; requires specialized assembly process. | Ultra-compact PCB area (<4mm²); suited for space-constrained wearables where thermal dissipation is secondary. | Select for minimal footprint; verify board assembly capability for UCSP reliability per Maxim AN6322. |
| ADG732BRUZ | 32-channel SPDT, 3.3V-only supply, 4Ω RON, but larger 32-pin TSSOP; no rail-to-rail operation below 2.5V. | High-channel-count systems (e.g., automated test equipment) requiring >4 SPDTs per IC; not suitable for single-supply <3V operation. | Select only if channel count >4 is required; avoid for battery-powered <3V designs due to supply limitation. |
Compared with MAX4694EBE+T, the MAX4694ETE+ offers superior thermal performance via EP connection and standard TQFN reflow compatibility; versus ADG732BRUZ, it provides lower supply voltage flexibility and smaller footprint but fewer channels-ideal for portable quad-path routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4694ETE+?
The MAX4694ETE+ has an absolute maximum V+ rating of +12V. Its operational single-supply range is +2V to +11V. Exceeding +12V risks permanent damage due to internal ESD diode breakdown. Always observe proper power sequencing: apply V+ before logic inputs and analog signals, and ensure V− is tied to GND for safe single-supply use of MAX4694ETE+.
Does MAX4694ETE+ support dual-supply operation like MAX4693?
No, MAX4694ETE+ does not support dual-supply operation. Unlike MAX4691–MAX4693, it lacks a V− pin and is designed exclusively for single-supply use (V− = GND). The datasheet explicitly states "The MAX4694 operates from a single +2V to +11V supply." Attempting to apply negative voltage to the GND pin of MAX4694ETE+ violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause failure.
How many digital control inputs does MAX4694ETE+ require?
MAX4694ETE+ requires exactly two digital control inputs: pin A (controls W and Y SPDTs) and pin B (controls X and Z SPDTs). There is no EN, C, or additional address pin-confirmed by the truth table and pin description in the datasheet. This 2-input scheme reduces GPIO usage compared to discrete SPDTs or full-featured muxes, making MAX4694ETE+ ideal for resource-constrained microcontroller interfaces.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance match between channels for MAX4694ETE+ at +5V?
At +5V supply, MAX4694ETE+ guarantees ≤5Ω on-resistance match (∆RON) between any two SPDT channels over −40°C to +85°C. This specification ensures consistent gain and minimal channel-to-channel imbalance in differential or multi-path signal routing applications, directly supporting precision audio and sensor multiplexing where matching affects common-mode rejection and measurement accuracy.
Can MAX4694ETE+ be used in audio applications requiring low THD?
Yes, MAX4694ETE+ achieves 0.02% THD at 20Hz–20kHz with 5Vp-p signal and 600Ω load under ±5V dual-supply conditions-but note that MAX4694ETE+ is single-supply only. Under its valid +5V single-supply condition, THD is not characterized in the datasheet. For low-THD audio, confirm performance empirically at target signal levels and loads, as THD rises with increasing RON and decreasing supply voltage in CMOS switches like MAX4694ETE+.
