Product details
Overview
MAX4706EXK+T from Maxim Integrated is a normally closed (NC) single-pole/single-throw (SPST) CMOS analog switch operating from 1.8V to 5.5V supply, delivering 3.5Ω max on-resistance and 0.9Ω on-resistance flatness at +2.7V, with 0.02µA quiescent current and -67dB off-isolation at 1MHz - deployed in battery-powered audio routing and low-voltage data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4706EXK+T datasheet, MAX4706EXK+T pinout, MAX4706EXK+T application, or MAX4706EXK+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON performance across temperature, SC70-5 package footprint compatibility, low charge injection (5pC), and TTL/CMOS logic interface requirements for portable signal-switching designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4706EXK+T implements a single-channel SPST switch with NC configuration controlled by a single digital input (IN), where logic low closes the COM–NC path and logic high opens it. Its CMOS architecture ensures rail-to-rail analog signal handling (0V to V+) and supports bipolar operation when GND is biased below ground.
It features ESD protection diodes between each analog terminal (COM, NC) and both V+ and GND, contributing to leakage behavior that varies with signal voltage. Dynamic performance includes 20ns typical turn-on time, 15ns turn-off time, and 190MHz –3dB bandwidth under 50Ω load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 3.5Ω max at V+ = 2.7V, ICOM = 10mA - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation in precision analog paths. |
| RON Flatness | 0.97Ω max over full analog signal range - maintains consistent gain and linearity across input voltage swing. |
| Off-Isolation | -67dB at 1MHz - suppresses crosstalk between active and inactive signal paths in multiplexed systems. |
| Supply Current | 0.02µA typical at +25°C - enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable instrumentation. |
| Charge Injection | 5pC - limits voltage glitch on sample-and-hold capacitors during switching transitions. |
| Bandwidth (-3dB) | 190MHz - supports high-fidelity audio and baseband data signals without roll-off. |
| THD | 0.013% at 20Hz–20kHz - preserves audio fidelity in consumer and professional signal routing. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4706EXK+T is housed in a 5-pin SC70-5 package (top mark AFO), measuring 2.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.95mm, optimized for space-constrained portable PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - COM | Analog common terminal | Shared connection point for signal routing; must be referenced to system ground or signal return path. |
| 2 - NC | Normally closed analog terminal | Electrically connected to COM when IN = low; open-circuit when IN = high. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Provides substrate reference for internal CMOS switches and ESD protection network. |
| 4 - IN | Digital control input | TTL/CMOS-compatible logic input; low = ON (COM–NC closed), high = OFF (open). |
| 5 - V+ | Positive supply rail | Single supply input (1.8V–5.5V); powers internal switch core and logic interface. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RON spec | 3.5Ω max across -40°C to +85°C - eliminates need for post-calibration in industrial sensor front-ends. |
| Low leakage current | <±2nA off-leakage over full temperature range - prevents DC error accumulation in high-impedance sample-and-hold circuits. |
| High off-isolation | -67dB at 1MHz - enables clean channel separation in multi-input audio mixers and telecom line cards. |
| Ultra-low supply current | 0.02µA typical - allows integration into wake-on-event subsystems without compromising standby power budget. |
| Small SC70-5 footprint | 2.0mm × 1.25mm - reduces board area by >50% vs. SOIC-8 alternatives while maintaining hand-solderability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4617EUK+T | NO configuration, 3Ω RON, SC70-5, same temp range and supply range | Requires inverted logic control; unsuitable where NC default state is safety-critical | Select when fail-open behavior is required and logic inversion is acceptable in system firmware. |
| ADG801BRMZ-REEL7 | NO switch, 0.3Ω RON, 1.8V–5.5V, MSOP-8 package | Lower RON but larger footprint and higher supply current (10nA vs. 0.02µA) | Prefer for ultra-low-loss signal paths where board space and standby power are secondary to conduction loss. |
Compared with MAX4706EXK+T, MAX4617EUK+T offers identical form factor and supply specs but inverted functionality, while ADG801BRMZ-REEL7 trades SC70-5 compactness and nanoamp quiescent draw for lower RON in an MSOP-8 layout - making MAX4706EXK+T optimal for NC-default, space- and power-constrained portable designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the MAX4706EXK+T?
The MAX4706EXK+T supports a maximum operating supply voltage of +6V absolute maximum, with recommended functional operation up to +5.5V. Exceeding +6V risks permanent damage per its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. The device is characterized for reliable performance from 1.8V to 5.5V, and the MAX4706EXK+T datasheet specifies electrical parameters within this range - including 3.5Ω RON and 0.02µA supply current - ensuring predictable behavior across its full rated supply window.
Does the MAX4706EXK+T support bipolar analog signals?
Yes, the MAX4706EXK+T supports bipolar analog signals when V+ and GND are biased from a dual supply - for example, with V+ = +2V and GND = -2V, the switch accepts ±1VP-P signals. This capability arises from internal ESD diodes tied between each analog terminal (COM, NC) and both V+ and GND, allowing signal excursions beyond the supply rails. However, forward current through those diodes must remain within ±300mA peak (1ms, 10% duty cycle), and the MAX4706EXK+T datasheet confirms this mode is valid only when external current limiting is applied.
What is the thermal performance limit for continuous operation of the MAX4706EXK+T?
The MAX4706EXK+T has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and a maximum junction temperature of +150°C. In its SC70-5 package, it dissipates up to 247mW at +70°C ambient, derating by 3.1mW/°C above that point. Thermal design must account for power dissipation from analog current (±160mA continuous through COM/NC) and supply current (0.02µA). The MAX4706EXK+T's low quiescent draw minimizes self-heating, but high-current signal paths require careful PCB copper pour and thermal vias to maintain reliability within its specified junction limit.
How does the MAX4706EXK+T handle power-supply sequencing?
The MAX4706EXK+T requires proper power-supply sequencing: V+ must be applied before any analog signal appears on COM or NC terminals. This prevents forward biasing of internal ESD diodes, which could cause excessive leakage or latch-up. The MAX4706EXK+T datasheet explicitly cautions against exceeding absolute maximum ratings during startup and recommends current-limiting analog sources if sequencing cannot be guaranteed. Failure to observe this sequence may degrade long-term reliability or cause transient errors in sensitive measurement circuits using the MAX4706EXK+T.
Is the MAX4706EXK+T pin-compatible with other variants in the MAX4706/MAX4707 family?
The MAX4706EXK+T (SC70-5, NC) shares identical pinout with the MAX4707EXK+T (SC70-5, NO) - both use pins 1=COM, 2=NC/NO, 3=GND, 4=IN, 5=V+. However, it is not pin-compatible with SC70-6 or µDFN-6 variants, which add a sixth pin (N.C.) and relocate terminals. The MAX4706EXK+T pin mapping is validated per Maxim's Pin Description table and SC70-5 top-view diagram, confirming direct replacement only among SC70-5 versions - meaning MAX4706EXK+T can substitute for MAX4707EXK+T in hardware with logic inversion, but not for MAX4706EXT-T or MAX4706ELT-T without PCB redesign.
