Product details
Overview
MAX4711CUE from Maxim Integrated is a fault-protected, quad SPST analog switch with four normally closed (NC) channels, rail-to-rail signal handling, 25Ω max on-resistance at +25°C, ±12V fault protection with power off, and operation from +2.7V to +11V single supply or ±2.7V to ±5.5V dual supplies. It is used in battery-operated test equipment for robust signal routing under overvoltage transients.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4711CUE datasheet, MAX4711CUE pinout, MAX4711CUE application, or MAX4711CUE equivalent, key selection criteria include fault-protection voltage limits per supply condition, on-resistance match (≤1Ω max), rail-to-rail analog range, TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, and TSSOP-16 package thermal performance.
Technical Context
The MAX4711CUE integrates parallel N- and P-channel FETs per channel to achieve low RON and flat on-resistance across signal range. Its dual comparator-based fault-sensing circuit detects input excursions beyond V+ or V− by ~150mV, disabling the main switch and activating clamp FETs to limit COM output to the appropriate supply rail.
Fault response includes ≤200ns turn-on delay and 700ns recovery time under ±7V transient conditions with 1kΩ load. Digital inputs tolerate overvoltage up to (V− + 12V), and all switches default to OFF when unpowered - critical for system-level safety in avionics and redundant control systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (RON) | 25Ω max at +25°C, +4.5V/+−4.5V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation in precision analog paths |
| On-resistance match | 1Ω max between channels - enables matched gain/phase in multi-channel instrumentation |
| Fault protection (power off) | ±12V on NO_/NC_ pins - protects downstream circuitry during maintenance or hot-swap without bias |
| Supply range | +2.7V to +11V single or ±2.7V to ±5.5V dual - supports wide battery chemistries and industrial rails |
| Logic thresholds | VIH = +2.4V, VIL = +0.8V - guarantees interoperability with 5V TTL and CMOS controllers |
| Turn-off time (tOFF) | <80ns at +25°C - meets timing requirements for high-speed multiplexing in data acquisition |
| Off-isolation | −59dB at 1MHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive channels in dense signal routing |
Pinout & Package
MAX4711CUE is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (4.4mm × 5mm, 0.65mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 12 is No Connect (N.C.).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 (Pins 1, 8, 9, 16) | Digital control inputs | Fault-protected logic inputs; drive NC switches ON/OFF; compatible with 3V/5V logic |
| COM1–COM4 (Pins 2, 7, 10, 15) | Analog common terminals | Non-fault-protected bidirectional signal path; must remain within V− to V+ to avoid ESD diode conduction |
| NC1–NC4 (Pins 3, 6, 11, 14) | Normally closed analog inputs | Fault-protected analog inputs; conduct to COM when IN = LOW; withstand ±12V fault with power off |
| V+ (Pin 13) | Positive supply | Primary power rail; sets upper analog signal limit; connects to +2.7V–+11V or +5.5V in dual-supply mode |
| V− (Pin 4) | Negative supply | Ground reference for single supply or negative rail for dual supply; connects to GND or −2.7V to −5.5V |
| GND (Pin 5) | Ground reference | System ground return; required for single-supply operation; ties to V− in dual-supply configuration |
| N.C. (Pin 12) | No connection | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practices |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog switching | Supports full V− to V+ signal swing with <5Ω on-resistance flatness - preserves dynamic range in sensor interfaces |
| Automatic fault clamping | Clamps COM output to V+ or V− during overvoltage - eliminates need for external TVS or op-amp clamping circuits |
| Power-off fault protection | Maintains ±12V input tolerance with zero bias - enables safe probing of live circuits during system shutdown |
| Pin-compatible upgrade | Direct replacement for MAX391/MAX392/MAX393 - allows drop-in reliability enhancement without PCB redesign |
| Low charge injection | 25pC typical - minimizes voltage glitch on high-impedance nodes like ADC sample capacitors |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4712CUE | Four normally open (NO) configuration vs. MAX4711CUE's NC topology; identical fault protection, RON, and timing specs | Suitable where default-open signal path is required (e.g., safety interlocks) | Select MAX4712CUE only when fail-open behavior is mandated; otherwise MAX4711CUE provides inherent continuity on power loss |
| ADG1414BRUZ | Higher RON (1.8Ω typ), no fault protection, 16-TSSOP pinout matches but logic polarity differs | Lacks ±12V fault tolerance; requires external protection for harsh environments | Choose ADG1414BRUZ only for cost-sensitive, benign environments where fault events are negligible |
Compared with MAX4712CUE and ADG1414BRUZ, the MAX4711CUE uniquely delivers fail-safe NC operation with integrated ±12V fault protection - enabling simplified, robust designs in test, avionics, and industrial systems without external protection components.

FAQ
What is the maximum fault voltage the MAX4711CUE can withstand with power removed?
The MAX4711CUE maintains ±12V fault protection on its NO_/NC_ pins even when unpowered. This capability allows safe probing of live circuits during maintenance or system shutdown without risk of damage to downstream components. The MAX4711CUE achieves this through internal high-impedance isolation and passive clamping structures that remain functional without bias.
Does the MAX4711CUE support rail-to-rail analog signal operation?
Yes, the MAX4711CUE supports true rail-to-rail analog signal handling from V− to V+ under normal operation. Its parallel N-/P-FET architecture ensures low on-resistance and flat RON across the full signal range. However, COM pins are not fault-protected - exceeding V− or V+ on COM will forward-bias internal ESD diodes and must be avoided.
How does the fault protection mechanism work in the MAX4711CUE?
The MAX4711CUE uses dual comparators to monitor NO_/NC_ voltages against V+ and V−. When an input exceeds either rail by ~150mV, the main switch FETs disable and clamp FETs activate - sourcing/sinking current from V+ or V− to hold COM at the appropriate rail. Recovery occurs automatically once the fault clears, with 700ns typical delay.
Can the MAX4711CUE operate from a single 3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX4711CUE operates from +2.7V to +11V single supply. At +3.3V, it delivers 75Ω max RON (25°C), VIH = +2.0V, VIL = +0.6V, and maintains ±12V fault protection with power off. Logic inputs remain compatible with standard 3.3V CMOS drivers, making it suitable for low-voltage portable instrumentation.
Is the MAX4711CUE pin-compatible with legacy analog switches?
Yes, the MAX4711CUE features identical pinout to industry-standard MAX391/MAX392/MAX393 devices. This enables direct replacement in existing designs to add fault protection without PCB changes. However, note that only NO_/NC_ pins are fault-protected - COM pins retain standard CMOS switch behavior and require proper voltage limiting.
