Product details
Overview
MAX4713CSE 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 supply. It enables robust signal routing in battery-operated test equipment where input overvoltage transients must not damage downstream circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4713CSE datasheet, MAX4713CSE pinout, MAX4713CSE application, or MAX4713CSE equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, fault-protection behavior under transient overvoltage, break-before-make timing for NO/NC channel pairing, package-validated pin mapping for 16-pin narrow SO, and real-world selection guidance against functionally comparable alternatives.
Technical Context
The MAX4713CSE integrates parallel N- and P-channel FETs per channel to achieve low RON and rail-to-rail conduction. Its dual comparator-based fault-sensing architecture detects when NO_/NC_ inputs exceed V+ or V− by ~150mV, disabling the main switch FETs and activating clamp FETs to limit COM_ output to the appropriate supply rail.
Unlike standard analog switches, the MAX4713CSE provides asymmetric fault protection: NO_/NC_ pins tolerate ±12V with power off and −12V/+12V relative to V+/V− with power on, while COM_ pins are unprotected and rely on internal ESD diodes-requiring external voltage limiting if driven beyond rails.
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 and thermal drift in precision analog paths. |
| On-resistance match | 1Ω max between channels - critical for matched gain/attenuation in differential or multi-path signal routing. |
| Fault protection (power off) | ±12V on NO_/NC_ pins - protects connected circuitry during system power-down or brownout without external clamps. |
| Break-before-make delay | 5ns typ (MAX4713 only) - prevents momentary shorting between NO and NC paths during channel switching. |
| Supply range | +2.7V to +11V single or ±2.7V to ±5.5V dual - supports wide input voltage flexibility in portable and industrial systems. |
| Logic compatibility | TTL/CMOS with VIH = +2.4V, VIL = +0.8V at +4.5V–+11V - eliminates level-shifting in mixed-voltage digital control interfaces. |
| Turn-off time (tOFF) | 80ns max - enables high-speed multiplexing up to ~10MHz without significant pulse distortion. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4713CSE is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package, 150 mil width, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 marked via notch or dot; pin 12 is no-connect (N.C.).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 (Pins 1, 2, 15, 16) | Digital control inputs | Fault-protected logic inputs accepting +0.8V to +2.4V thresholds; drive internal switch states and fault comparators. |
| COM1–COM4 (Pins 7, 8, 10, 11) | Analog common terminals | Unprotected bidirectional signal path nodes; must remain within V− to V+ to avoid ESD diode conduction. |
| NO1, NO4 (Pins 3, 6) | Normally open analog inputs | Fault-protected inputs; conduct to respective COM only when corresponding IN = high; tolerate ±12V with power off. |
| NC2, NC3 (Pins 14, 11) | Normally closed analog inputs | Fault-protected inputs; conduct to respective COM when corresponding IN = low; same fault tolerance as NO pins. |
| V+ (Pin 13) | Positive supply rail | Accepts +2.7V to +11V (single) or +2.7V to +5.5V (dual); powers internal logic and clamp FETs. |
| V− (Pin 4) | Negative supply rail | Accepts −2.7V to −5.5V (dual) or GND (0V) for single-supply operation; reference for negative fault clamping. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Ground reference | System ground return for logic and analog sections; decoupling required near V+/V− pins. |
| N.C. (Pin 12) | No connection | Not internally bonded; must be left floating or grounded per layout best practices-no electrical function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fault-protected NO_/NC_ inputs | Withstands ±12V transients even with power removed-enables hot-swap-safe signal routing in field-replaceable modules. |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal range | Passes signals from V− to V+ without clipping-preserves full dynamic range in sensor front-ends and DAC outputs. |
| Break-before-make switching | 5ns typical delay between NO and NC channel transitions-prevents cross-conduction in redundant signal path designs. |
| Low on-resistance flatness | 5Ω max variation across signal range-minimizes harmonic distortion and amplitude error in audio and instrumentation paths. |
| Pin-compatible with MAX391/392/393 | Drop-in replacement for legacy non-fault-protected switches-reduces redesign effort when upgrading protection in existing PCBs. |
Applications
| Battery-Operated Test Equipment | Redundant Signal Routing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Portable multimeter front-end selecting between multiple sensor inputs under variable battery voltage (3.0–4.2V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad SPST switch isolating high-impedance sensor signals; NO/NC pairs provide fail-safe default path during MCU reset. Use Value: ±12V fault tolerance prevents damage from accidental probe contact with mains voltage; 25Ω RON maintains measurement accuracy. |
Use Scenario: Avionics data acquisition unit routing primary and backup analog sensor feeds to ADC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual NO/NC configuration implements automatic switchover: NC paths carry primary signal; NO paths engage on fault detection. Use Value: Break-before-make timing prevents momentary short between primary and backup sources; rail-to-rail operation preserves full sensor swing. |
| Industrial Process Control I/O | Communication System Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: PLC analog input module conditioning 4–20mA loop signals with overvoltage surge risk from long cable runs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fault-protected switch placed before protection diodes and op-amp buffer; handles transient clamping duty. Use Value: ±12V fault protection with power off ensures continued protection during brownout events; low leakage (<10nA) avoids current-loop error. |
Use Scenario: Base station RF front-end selecting between calibration and operational signal paths in TDD/FDD modes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed analog switch routing IF signals between mixer, filter, and ADC; tOFF < 80ns enables precise timing alignment. Use Value: 87dB crosstalk suppression prevents LO feedthrough; 59dB off-isolation blocks adjacent channel interference. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4712CSE | Four normally open (NO) channels only; identical fault protection, RON, and timing specs. | Lacks NC functionality-unsuitable for fail-safe default-path applications requiring automatic signal continuity on control loss. | Select MAX4712CSE only when all four channels require active-high enable without passive continuity. |
| ADG1412BRUZ | 4-channel, 1.5Ω RON, no fault protection, ±15V signal range, but no ±12V overvoltage tolerance with power off. | Higher performance in on-resistance and bandwidth, but requires external TVS/clamp circuits for transient immunity. | Choose ADG1412BRUZ only in noise-sensitive, low-RON applications where board space allows discrete protection components. |
Compared with MAX4712CSE and ADG1412BRUZ, the MAX4713CSE uniquely combines dual NO/NC topology with integrated ±12V fault protection-enabling self-contained redundancy and hot-swap safety without added components or layout changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum fault voltage the MAX4713CSE can withstand on its NO_/NC_ pins with power removed?
The MAX4713CSE guarantees ±12V fault protection on NO_ and NC_ pins even when all supplies are disconnected. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics section for "Fault-Protected Analog Signal Range (Power Off)". The device enters high-impedance state on those pins, preventing current injection into the die. This capability makes MAX4713CSE suitable for hot-plug interfaces and field-serviceable modules where power sequencing cannot be controlled.
Does the MAX4713CSE support single-supply operation, and what is the minimum valid supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX4713CSE supports single-supply operation with V− tied to GND. Its specified minimum supply is +2.7V, validated across temperature and load conditions per the +3V Single Supply Electrical Characteristics table. At +2.7V, RON rises to 100Ω max, tON extends to 600ns max, and logic thresholds shift to VIH = +2.0V/VIL = +0.6V-parameters fully characterized and guaranteed for battery-powered applications down to end-of-life cell voltage.
How does the break-before-make timing work in the MAX4713CSE, and why is it specified only for this variant?
The MAX4713CSE is the only variant in the MAX4711/MAX4712/MAX4713 family with integrated NO/NC pairing per channel (IN1/COM1/NO1/NC2, etc.), enabling true break-before-make switching. Its tBBM is 5ns typical at +25°C with ±4.5V supplies, measured between turn-off of one path and turn-on of the other. This feature prevents momentary shorts in redundant signal paths-critical in avionics and medical systems. MAX4711 (all NC) and MAX4712 (all NO) lack this capability by design.
Are the COM_ pins fault-protected on the MAX4713CSE, and what happens if they exceed the supply rails?
No, the COM_ pins on the MAX4713CSE are not fault-protected. As stated in Note 1 of the Electrical Characteristics table and the Detailed Description section, COM_ pins connect directly to internal ESD diodes between COM_ and V+/V−. If a COM_ voltage exceeds V+ or falls below V− by more than ~0.7V, forward conduction occurs-potentially damaging the device if current exceeds ±40mA absolute maximum rating. External clamping or voltage limiting is mandatory for COM_ nodes exposed to overvoltage.
Is the MAX4713CSE pin-compatible with industry-standard analog switches, and which ones?
Yes, the MAX4713CSE has identical pinout to the MAX391, MAX392, and MAX393 families in 16-pin SO, TSSOP, and DIP packages-as explicitly stated in the Features list and Pin Compatibility section. This allows direct PCB replacement in legacy designs. However, caution is required: only NO_/NC_ pins inherit fault protection; COM_, IN_, V+, V−, and GND retain identical functions, but fault-handling behavior differs fundamentally from non-protected predecessors.
