Product details
Overview
MAX4704ETC+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage, 4:1 analog multiplexer IC operating from a single +1.8V to +5.5V supply, featuring 60Ω (max) on-resistance at +2.7V, 60ns turn-on time, and break-before-make switching. It routes audio/video signals in battery-powered portable devices with rail-to-rail signal handling and <200MHz -3dB bandwidth.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4704ETC+ datasheet, MAX4704ETC+ pinout, MAX4704ETC+ application, or MAX4704ETC+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON matching (≤3Ω), low charge injection (3pC), high off-isolation (-85dB @1MHz), and +1.8V logic compatibility for ultra-low-power system integration.
Technical Context
The MAX4704ETC+ implements a CMOS-based 4-channel analog switch matrix controlled by dual address bits (ADDA/ADDB) and an active-low inhibit (INH) input. Its break-before-make architecture prevents signal shorting during channel transitions, with tBBM ≤2ns confirmed across temperature and supply voltage.
It supports bidirectional signal routing between COM and any of four NO terminals, with rail-to-rail analog voltage range (0V to V+), guaranteed RON flatness (≤5Ω), and low crosstalk (-90dB @1MHz) - enabling high-fidelity audio and video path selection without distortion or coupling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.8V to +5.5V single supply - enables direct interface with Li-ion battery systems and 3.3V/5V logic domains. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 60Ω max at +2.7V, 40Ω max at +5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision data-acquisition paths. |
| RON Matching | ≤3Ω max between channels - guarantees consistent gain and phase response when switching between sensor inputs or signal sources. |
| Switching Time (tON/tOFF) | 60ns / 20ns at +3V - supports high-speed multiplexing in real-time audio sampling and communication channel arbitration. |
| Off-Isolation & Crosstalk | -85dB off-isolation and -90dB crosstalk at 1MHz - suppresses interference between active and inactive signal paths in dense PCB layouts. |
| Charge Injection | 3pC max - minimizes voltage glitch on sampled-hold capacitors, critical for ADC front-end accuracy. |
| THD | 0.02% at 20Hz–20kHz - preserves audio fidelity in portable media players and headset switching applications. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4704ETC+ is packaged in a 12-pin QFN-EP (3mm × 3mm) with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is V+, pins 2 and 8 are no-connect (N.C.), and the exposed pad is internally connected to GND for thermal management.
| 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 analog and digital currents; exposed pad must connect to large ground plane for thermal performance. |
| COM | Common analog terminal | Bidirectional node shared across all four switched paths; connects to ADC input, codec line, or signal processor. |
| NO0–NO3 | Normally-open analog inputs/outputs | Four independent signal paths; selected via ADDA/ADDB; support rail-to-rail voltage swing (0V to V+). |
| ADDA / ADDB | Binary address inputs | 2-bit control bus selecting one of four NOx paths to COM; +1.8V logic compatible at +2.7V–+3.3V supply. |
| INH | Inhibit enable | Active-low global disable; pulls all switches open when high; allows fast channel blanking or power-gating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog voltages from GND to V+ without clipping - essential for full-scale battery-powered sensor interfaces. |
| Guaranteed RON flatness | ≤5Ω variation over full signal range - maintains linear gain and low harmonic distortion across input amplitude. |
| Low leakage current | ≤5nA COM on-leakage at +85°C - prevents DC offset drift in high-impedance medical or instrumentation front-ends. |
| High-frequency bandwidth | >200MHz -3dB bandwidth - enables clean switching of composite video, USB 1.1, or baseband RF signals. |
| Break-before-make timing | tBBM ≤2ns - eliminates momentary short-circuits between channels during address transitions, protecting sensitive sources. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4703ETC+ | 3-channel (3:1) variant with identical RON, timing, and package - lacks NO3 pin and ADDB input. | Suitable only where exactly three analog sources require multiplexing; not pin-compatible due to reduced pin count. | Select MAX4703ETC+ only if system design requires exactly three inputs and board layout accommodates different pinout. |
| TMUX1104DCNR | 4:1 mux with 1.8V–5.5V supply, but higher RON (100Ω typ), no guaranteed RON matching, and no break-before-make guarantee. | Acceptable for non-critical signal routing where cost is prioritized over precision matching and glitch-free switching. | Choose TMUX1104DCNR for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where RON flatness and tBBM are not design-critical. |
Compared with MAX4704ETC+, MAX4703ETC+ reduces channel count but retains identical precision specs, while TMUX1104DCNR trades guaranteed matching and break-before-make for lower unit cost - making MAX4704ETC+ optimal for high-fidelity, multi-source analog systems requiring deterministic switching behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the MAX4704ETC+?
The MAX4704ETC+ has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+) of +6V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. The device is specified for reliable operation from +1.8V to +5.5V, with on-resistance and timing parameters guaranteed across that full range. Always apply V+ before analog signals to avoid latch-up or overstress conditions.
Does the MAX4704ETC+ support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, the MAX4704ETC+ supports fully bidirectional analog signal routing. Both the COM and NO0–NO3 terminals can serve as inputs or outputs, enabling flexible use in transceiver interfaces, shared bus architectures, and feedback paths. This capability is inherent to its CMOS switch topology and rail-to-rail voltage handling.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance matching specification for MAX4704ETC+?
The MAX4704ETC+ guarantees on-resistance matching (ΔRON) of ≤3Ω maximum between any two channels when operated at +2.7V supply and +25°C. This parameter is tested and specified across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), ensuring consistent gain and phase response in multi-channel measurement systems.
Can the MAX4704ETC+ operate with 1.8V logic inputs?
Yes, the MAX4704ETC+ digital control inputs (ADDA, ADDB, INH) are +1.8V CMOS logic compatible when powered from a +2.7V to +3.3V supply. VIH is guaranteed ≥+1.4V and VIL ≤+0.5V under those conditions, allowing direct interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the thermal pad connection requirement for the MAX4704ETC+ QFN package?
The exposed thermal pad (EP) of the MAX4704ETC+ QFN package is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a large PCB ground plane. This connection is mandatory for thermal performance and electrical stability - it is not optional. Failure to connect the pad may result in excessive junction temperature and degraded RON or timing performance.
