Product details
Overview
MAX4713CPE from Maxim Integrated is a fault-protected, quad SPST analog switch with two normally open (NO) and two normally closed (NC) channels, 25Ω max on-resistance at +25°C, ±12V fault protection with power off, and rail-to-rail signal handling from +2.7V to +11V single supply or ±2.7V to ±5.5V dual supplies. It enables robust signal routing in battery-operated test equipment where input overvoltage transients must not damage downstream circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4713CPE datasheet, MAX4713CPE pinout, MAX4713CPE application, or MAX4713CPE equivalent, key selection criteria include its break-before-make timing (5ns typ), fault-clamp output behavior during overvoltage events, dual-supply compatibility, and pin compatibility with industry-standard MAX391/MAX392/MAX393 switches.
Technical Context
The MAX4713CPE uses parallel N- and P-channel FETs per channel to achieve low RON and flat on-resistance across the signal range. Its dual comparator architecture continuously monitors NO_/NC_ pins against V+ and V−, triggering clamp FETs (P2/N2) when input exceeds rails by ~150mV - clamping COM_ to the appropriate supply without drawing excessive current.
Fault response is asymmetric: positive faults activate P2 to source current from V+, negative faults activate N2 to sink to V−, both limiting COM_ to safe voltage levels. During power-off, NO_/NC_ terminals remain high-impedance up to ±12V, while COM_ retains no fault protection and relies on external diode clamping if driven beyond rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (RON) | 25Ω max at +25°C, enabling low insertion loss in precision signal paths |
| On-resistance match | 1Ω max between channels, ensuring matched gain/attenuation in multi-channel systems |
| Fault protection range | ±12V on NO_/NC_ with power off; ±7V with ±5V supplies; +12V/−9V with +3V supply |
| Switching speed | tON < 125ns, tOFF < 80ns (dual supply), supporting high-speed multiplexing |
| Break-before-make delay | 5ns typical (MAX4713 only), preventing momentary short-circuits during channel switching |

Pinout & Package
MAX4713CPE is housed in a 16-pin Plastic DIP package (0°C to +70°C operating range), with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin layout matches industry-standard 16-pin analog switch footprints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 (Pins 1, 2, 15, 16) | Logic control inputs | Fault-protected digital inputs; drive NO/NC channel states; tolerate V− + 12V |
| COM1–COM4 (Pins 7, 8, 10, 11) | Analog common terminals | Unidirectional signal path endpoints; not fault-protected - must stay within V− to V+ |

| V− (Pin 4) | Negative supply rail | Accepts −2.7V to −5.5V; connect to GND for single-supply operation |
| GND (Pin 5) | Ground reference | Logic and analog ground return; ties to V− in single-supply mode |
| N.C. (Pin 12) | No connection | Not internally bonded; leave unconnected |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX393CPE | No fault protection; 35Ω max RON; same 16-pin DIP package and pinout | Suitable only in benign environments with external overvoltage protection | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs fault resilience and board space permits discrete TVS diodes |
| ADG1412BRUZ | Single-supply only (+5V); 1.8Ω RON; 24-lead TSSOP; no built-in fault clamping | Higher performance for precision instrumentation but requires external fault management | Choose for ultra-low RON and low charge injection where fault events are mitigated upstream |
Compared with MAX393CPE and ADG1412BRUZ, the MAX4713CPE uniquely integrates ±12V fault tolerance with power-off protection and NO/NC flexibility in a legacy-compatible DIP package - eliminating external protection components while maintaining drop-in replaceability in retrofit designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum fault voltage the MAX4713CPE can withstand on its NO_/NC_ pins with power removed?
The MAX4713CPE guarantees ±12V fault protection on NO_ and NC_ pins even when completely unpowered. This means the device remains electrically isolated and non-damaging when subjected to ±12V transients on those pins with V+ and V− disconnected - a key advantage for maintenance and hot-swap scenarios. The MAX4713CPE's internal protection structure ensures no excessive current flows under this condition, preserving system integrity without external components.
How does the MAX4713CPE differ from the MAX4711CPE and MAX4712CPE in channel configuration?
The MAX4713CPE contains two normally open (NO) and two normally closed (NC) SPST switches, whereas the MAX4711CPE has four NC switches and the MAX4712CPE has four NO switches. This hybrid configuration enables fail-safe signal routing - for example, one NC pair can maintain a default sensor path while NO pairs enable active selection. All three share identical pinout, fault protection, and electrical specs, making the MAX4713CPE ideal for designs requiring both default-closed and default-open behavior in a single package.
Does the MAX4713CPE support single-supply operation, and what is the minimum supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX4713CPE supports true single-supply operation from +2.7V to +11V, with V− tied to GND. At +2.7V, it delivers 100Ω max on-resistance and maintains TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds (VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.6V). This enables direct integration into 3V microcontroller systems and low-power battery applications without level-shifting, while retaining full fault-protection functionality - unlike many analog switches that degrade or disable protection at low V+.
Why does the MAX4713CPE specify break-before-make timing, and what is its typical value?
The MAX4713CPE specifies break-before-make (BBM) timing to prevent momentary short-circuits when switching between NO and NC paths on the same COM terminal - a critical requirement in redundant or diagnostic signal routing. Its typical BBM delay is 5ns (at +25°C, dual ±5V supply), guaranteed by design to exceed the propagation delay of internal comparators and FET drivers. This ensures reliable isolation during transitions, avoiding cross-conduction that could corrupt measurements or damage connected sources in industrial I/O or avionics backup systems.
Is the COM_ pin fault-protected on the MAX4713CPE, and what happens if it is driven beyond the supply rails?
No, the COM_ pins on the MAX4713CPE are not fault-protected. If driven beyond V+ or V−, internal ESD diodes conduct, potentially causing excessive current flow and device damage - as explicitly warned in the Absolute Maximum Ratings. Unlike NO_/NC_, COM_ must remain strictly within the supply rails during normal and fault conditions. System designers must ensure external clamping or limiting is applied to COM_ nodes, especially in bidirectional signal paths or when interfacing with higher-voltage subsystems.
