Product details
Overview
MAX4704EGC+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage, 4-channel analog multiplexer (4:1) with rail-to-rail signal handling, 60Ω max on-resistance at +2.7V, 60ns turn-on time, and break-before-make switching. It operates from a single +1.8V to +5.5V supply and is optimized for battery-powered audio/video routing in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4704EGC+ datasheet, MAX4704EGC+ pinout, MAX4704EGC+ application, or MAX4704EGC+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON matching (≤3Ω), low charge injection (≤3pC), -90dB crosstalk at 1MHz, and QFN-EP package thermal performance for compact, low-power designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4704EGC+ implements a CMOS-based 4:1 analog switch matrix with dual address inputs (ADDA/ADDB) and an active-low inhibit (INH) control, enabling precise channel selection and global disable. Its break-before-make architecture prevents momentary shorting between channels during switching transitions.
It supports rail-to-rail analog signals from GND to V+, maintains ≤5Ω RON flatness over full signal range, and delivers >200MHz -3dB bandwidth-enabling high-fidelity audio and broadband data-acquisition signal routing without distortion or attenuation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.8V to +5.5V single supply - enables direct interface with 1.8V/2.7V/3.3V/5V logic and analog rails |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 60Ω max at +2.7V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor or audio paths |
| RON Matching | 3Ω max between channels - guarantees consistent gain and phase response across all 4 switched paths |
| Charge Injection | 3pC max - limits voltage glitch on COM node during switching, critical for sample-and-hold and ADC front-end stability |
| Crosstalk | -90dB at 1MHz - suppresses interference between active and inactive channels in multi-signal systems |
| Off-Isolation | -85dB at 1MHz - blocks leakage from off-channels into sensitive analog nodes like microphone preamps |
| Switching Time (tON/tOFF) | 60ns / 20ns at +3V - supports fast multiplexing in real-time data acquisition and digital audio switching |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4704EGC+ is housed in a 12-pin QFN-EP (3mm × 3mm) package with exposed pad thermally connected to GND. The EP improves thermal dissipation and reduces junction temperature rise under sustained load.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive supply input | Accepts +1.8V to +5.5V; powers internal CMOS switches and logic; must be applied before analog signals |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for supply and analog signals; connects to exposed pad for thermal management |
| COM | Common analog terminal | Bidirectional I/O node shared across all 4 switched paths; handles rail-to-rail signals |
| NO0–NO3 | Normally-open analog inputs | Four independent analog inputs; only one connects to COM per address state; no internal pull-downs |
| ADDA / ADDB | Dual-bit binary address inputs | Selects channel (0–3); TTL/CMOS compatible; logic thresholds scale with V+ (VIH = 0.7×V+, VIL = 0.3×V+) |
| INH | Active-low inhibit control | When high, disconnects all NOx paths from COM; when low, enables normal address decoding |
| N.C. | No connection | Pins 2 and 8 are unconnected internally; must be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog inputs from GND to V+ without clipping or distortion - essential for full-scale battery-supplied sensors and audio codecs |
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed tBBM ≥ 2ns - eliminates channel-to-channel shorting during address changes, preventing signal corruption in mixed-signal systems |
| Low THD (0.02%) | Minimizes harmonic generation in audio paths - preserves fidelity in MP3 players and cellular phone handsets |
| 1.8V logic compatibility | Operates with VIH ≤ 1.4V at +2.7V supply - allows direct interfacing with ultra-low-voltage microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| Exposed thermal pad (QFN-EP) | Reduces θJA to 105°C/W - sustains 952mW power dissipation at +70°C ambient, supporting high-duty-cycle routing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4702EUB+ | 10-pin µMAX package; identical electrical specs but larger footprint and higher θJA (170°C/W vs. 105°C/W) | Limited board space in ultra-thin devices; less efficient thermal performance in high-density layouts | Choose MAX4702EUB+ only if QFN assembly capability is unavailable or legacy µMAX footprint must be retained. |
| TMUX1104DCUR | Lower RON (0.5Ω typ at 3.3V) but higher leakage (±20nA), no break-before-make guarantee, and 1.2V–5.5V supply range | Higher precision DC-coupled sensing where leakage dominates; unsuitable for audio due to undefined switching behavior | Prefer TMUX1104DCUR for low-offset instrumentation; retain MAX4704EGC+ for audio, telecom, or any application requiring guaranteed break-before-make and <100pA leakage. |
Compared with MAX4702EUB+, the MAX4704EGC+ offers superior thermal performance and smaller footprint; compared with TMUX1104DCUR, it provides verified break-before-make timing and lower leakage-making it the preferred choice for battery-powered audio and communication circuits demanding reliability and signal integrity.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the MAX4704EGC+?
The MAX4704EGC+ has an absolute maximum V+ rating of +6V. Operation beyond this voltage risks permanent damage. The device is specified for reliable operation from +1.8V to +5.5V; at +5.5V, RON drops to 40Ω max and leakage remains ≤5nA. Always apply V+ before analog signals to avoid latch-up or diode conduction.
Does the MAX4704EGC+ support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, the MAX4704EGC+ supports rail-to-rail analog signal handling from GND to V+. Its CMOS switch architecture maintains low and consistent RON across the full voltage range - confirmed by typical operating characteristics showing <5Ω flatness at +3V and +5V supplies. This enables accurate switching of full-scale sensor outputs and audio waveforms without clipping.
What is the guaranteed break-before-make interval for the MAX4704EGC+?
The MAX4704EGC+ guarantees a break-before-make (BBM) interval of ≥2ns under all conditions (V+ = +2.7V to +5.5V, TA = -40°C to +85°C). This is measured with RL = 300Ω and CL = 35pF per Figure 4 of the datasheet. BBM prevents momentary shorts between channels during address transitions - critical for avoiding signal corruption in audio and data paths.
How does the exposed pad (EP) on the MAX4704EGC+ QFN package function?
The exposed pad on the MAX4704EGC+ QFN package is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a large PCB ground plane. It reduces thermal resistance (θJA = 105°C/W), enabling 952mW continuous power dissipation at +70°C ambient. It is not an electrical signal node - no traces or vias should route signals to the EP; only thermal vias to inner ground layers are recommended.
Can the MAX4704EGC+ operate with 1.8V logic inputs while powered from a 3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX4704EGC+ supports 1.8V CMOS logic compatibility when V+ = +2.7V to +3.3V: VIH is guaranteed ≥1.4V and VIL ≤0.5V. This allows direct interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers without level shifters. At +3.3V supply, input leakage stays ≤±1µA, and address transition time remains ≤70ns - ensuring robust, low-power digital control.
