Product details
Overview
MAX4713EUE 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 across ±2.7V to ±5.5V or +2.7V to +11V supplies. It enables robust signal routing in avionics backup systems where input overvoltage transients must not damage downstream circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4713EUE datasheet, MAX4713EUE pinout, MAX4713EUE application, or MAX4713EUE equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, fault-response timing, break-before-make behavior, package-validated pin roles, and real-world selection guidance for industrial and safety-critical analog switching.
Technical Context
The MAX4713EUE integrates dual parallel FETs per channel (N- and P-channel) to achieve low RON and flat on-resistance vs. signal voltage. Its fault-protection architecture uses independent high- and low-fault comparators that disable the main switch FETs and activate clamp FETs (P2/N2) when NO_/NC_ exceeds V+ or V− by ~150mV.
During fault conditions, COM_ is clamped to the appropriate supply rail (V+ for positive faults, V− for negative faults), limiting output excursion while sourcing/sinking up to ±15mA. The device maintains full fault protection even with V± = 0, supporting ±12V input tolerance independent of supply state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (RON) | 25Ω max at +25°C, ±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/phase in differential or multi-path signal routing. |
| Fault protection range | ±12V on NO_/NC_ with power off - enables hot-swap and maintenance-safe operation without supply dependency. |
| Break-before-make delay | 5ns typ (tBBM) at +25°C, ±4.5V - prevents momentary shorting during channel switching in redundant system crosspoints. |
| Turn-on/off time | tON < 125ns, tOFF < 80ns - supports high-speed multiplexing in test equipment and data-acquisition front-ends. |
| Supply range | +2.7V to +11V single or ±2.7V to ±5.5V dual - accommodates battery-powered (3V) and industrial (±5V) rails without level-shifting. |
| Logic compatibility | TTL/CMOS thresholds (VIH = 2.4V, VIL = 0.8V) - interoperable with standard microcontroller GPIOs and FPGA I/O banks. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4713EUE is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (JEDEC MO-153, 5mm × 4.4mm, 0.65mm pitch), rated for -40°C to +85°C operation. Pin 12 is N.C. (not internally connected); all logic inputs (IN1–IN4) and analog terminals (NO_, NC_, COM_) are fault-protected except COM_, which requires external voltage limiting to V+/V−.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 (Pins 1, 8, 9, 16) | Logic control inputs | Fault-protected digital inputs; drive NO/NC channel states; compatible with TTL/CMOS levels across full supply range. |
| 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 and damage. |
| NO1, NO4 (Pins 3, 6) | Normally open analog inputs | Fault-protected; connect to COM only when corresponding IN = high; withstands ±12V with power off. |
| NC2, NC3 (Pins 11, 14) | Normally closed analog inputs | Fault-protected; connect to COM when corresponding IN = low; same fault tolerance and clamping as NO pins. |
| V+ (Pin 13) | Positive supply rail | Accepts +2.7V to +11V (single) or +4.5V 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 (single); provides return path for negative fault clamping current. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Ground reference | System ground connection; required for single-supply operation and logic threshold referencing. |
| N.C. (Pin 12) | No connection | Unbonded pad; must be left floating or grounded per PCB layout best practices-no electrical function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals from V− to V+ without distortion or clipping-enables full dynamic range utilization in sensor interfaces. |
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed 5ns minimum tBBM prevents signal shorting during channel reconfiguration in redundant avionics crosspoints. |
| Power-off fault protection | Maintains ±12V input tolerance on NO_/NC_ pins even with V± = 0-critical for safe field servicing and hot-swap modules. |
| Low charge injection (25pC) | Minimizes voltage glitch on high-impedance nodes (e.g., sample-and-hold capacitors), preserving ADC accuracy in data acquisition. |
| Pin-compatible upgrade | Direct replacement for MAX391/MAX392/MAX393-enables retrofitting fault protection into legacy designs without PCB changes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4712EUE | Four normally open (NO) channels only; identical fault protection, RON, timing, and package. | Suitable where all channels must default open (e.g., safety interlocks), but lacks NC functionality for fail-safe closed paths. | Select MAX4712EUE only if NO-only topology matches system reset/fail-state requirements; MAX4713EUE offers mixed NO/NC flexibility. |
| ADG1412BRUZ | Quad SPST, 1.8Ω RON, no fault protection, 12V max supply, LFCSP package. | Optimized for ultra-low RON in non-fault environments (e.g., audio routing); cannot tolerate overvoltage on analog inputs. | Choose ADG1412BRUZ only when fault tolerance is unnecessary and sub-2Ω RON justifies loss of ±12V protection and TSSOP-to-LFCSP redesign. |
Compared with MAX4712EUE and ADG1412BRUZ, the MAX4713EUE uniquely combines mixed NO/NC topology, guaranteed ±12V fault tolerance with power off, and industry-standard TSSOP pinout-making it the sole option for safety-critical, hot-swap-capable redundant switching without layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum fault voltage the MAX4713EUE can withstand on its NO_/NC_ pins with power removed?
The MAX4713EUE sustains ±12V on NO_ or NC_ pins even when V+ and V− are disconnected (power off). This is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and confirmed in the Fault-Protection Voltage and Power Off section. The device achieves this via internal high-impedance fault detection circuitry that isolates the pins without drawing excessive current. This capability makes MAX4713EUE suitable for field-serviceable equipment where inputs may be probed or connected before power-up.
Does the MAX4713EUE support true bidirectional signal flow, and what limits its directionality?
Yes, the MAX4713EUE supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow between NO_/NC_ and COM_ pins under normal operation due to its complementary N-/P-FET switch structure. However, directionality is constrained during fault conditions: when NO_/NC_ exceeds V+ or V−, the output COM_ is clamped to the respective supply rail, limiting reverse current flow. Also, COM_ pins lack fault protection-exceeding V+/V− on COM_ forward-biases internal ESD diodes and risks damage. Thus, bidirectionality is safe only when COM_ remains within supply rails.
How does the break-before-make timing of the MAX4713EUE impact its use in redundant signal paths?
The MAX4713EUE guarantees a minimum 5ns break-before-make (tBBM) delay between channel transitions, preventing momentary shorting of two analog sources during reconfiguration. In redundant avionics or industrial control paths, this ensures clean handover between primary and backup sensors without transient coupling. The value is measured under defined conditions (±4.5V supplies, 300Ω load, 35pF capacitance) and remains stable across temperature-critical for deterministic failover behavior in certified systems.
Can the MAX4713EUE operate from a +3.3V single supply, and what performance trade-offs apply?
Yes, the MAX4713EUE operates from +2.7V to +11V single supply (V− = GND). At +3.3V, RON increases to 75Ω max (vs. 25Ω at ±4.5V), tON/tOFF extend to 600ns/225ns max, and fault clamp current drops to 0.5–3.0mA. Logic thresholds adjust to VIH = 2.0V/VIL = 0.6V. These shifts are documented in the +3V Single Supply Electrical Characteristics tables. Designers must verify signal integrity and timing margins meet application requirements at reduced supply.
Is the MAX4713EUE pin-compatible with non-fault-protected switches like the MAX393, and what design cautions apply?
Yes, the MAX4713EUE shares identical pinout and footprint with MAX391/MAX392/MAX393. However, only NO_ and NC_ pins are fault-protected-COM_ pins retain standard CMOS switch behavior and require external voltage limiting. Also, fault response introduces ~200ns turn-on delay and ~700ns recovery after fault clearance, unlike legacy switches. Layout reuse is possible, but system-level fault testing and COM_ voltage monitoring must be added to leverage the protection features safely.
