Product details
Overview
MAX4718EBC from Maxim Integrated is a dual SPDT analog switch IC featuring one 4.5Ω (max) low-RON channel and one 20Ω (max) high-RON channel, operating from +1.8V to +5.5V. It delivers <80ns tON, <40ns tOFF, >300MHz bandwidth, and rail-to-rail signal handling-designed specifically for USB 1.1 D+/D− switching and headphone routing in portable audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4718EBC datasheet, MAX4718EBC pinout, MAX4718EBC application, or MAX4718EBC equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON matching (0.3Ω/0.4Ω), break-before-make timing (1ns), 15pF on-capacitance, and UCSP-12 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4718EBC integrates two independent SPDT switches on a single BiCMOS die: Switch 1 uses low-RON architecture optimized for high-fidelity signal paths (e.g., USB data lines), while Switch 2 employs higher-RON design for auxiliary functions like audio path selection. Both support break-before-make operation with 1ns delay and tolerate analog signals from GND to V+.
Digital control inputs are +1.8V logic compatible across +2.7V–+3.6V supply range and accept up to +5.5V regardless of V+, enabling mixed-voltage system interfacing. The device guarantees RON flatness ≤1.2Ω and matching ≤0.4Ω over full analog voltage range at +3V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RON (SPDT1) | 4.5Ω max - enables low-loss USB 1.1 signal routing with minimal insertion loss |
| RON (SPDT2) | 20Ω max - balances isolation and power efficiency for auxiliary audio switching |
| tON/tOFF | <80ns/<40ns at +2.7V - supports fast reconfiguration in dynamic signal-path applications |
| -3dB Bandwidth | >300MHz - preserves integrity of high-speed digital and wideband analog signals |
| On-Capacitance | 15pF - minimizes loading on high-impedance sources and maintains signal rise time |
| Off-Isolation | -55dB at 10MHz - suppresses crosstalk between active and inactive channels |
| Supply Range | +1.8V to +5.5V - supports direct integration into battery-powered and mixed-supply systems |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4718EBC is packaged in a 12-bump UCSP (Ultra Compact Silicon Package) measuring 2.0mm × 1.50mm with 0.5mm bump pitch and 4×3 bump array. This chip-scale package reduces PCB footprint by >60% versus µMAX or TDFN alternatives.

| A2 | IN2 | Digital control input for Switch 2 - CMOS-compatible, accepts 0V/+V+ logic levels |
| A3 | COM2 | Common terminal for Switch 2 - bidirectional I/O node shared between NC2 and NO2 |
| A4 | NO2 | Analog Switch 2 Normally Open terminal - connects to COM2 when IN2 = high |
| B1 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-impedance connection for signal integrity and leakage control |
| B4 | V+ | Positive supply input - powers both analog and digital sections; decoupling required |
| C1 | NC1 | Analog Switch 1 Normally Closed terminal - connects to COM1 when IN1 = low |
| C2 | IN1 | Digital control input for Switch 1 - independent of IN2; enables asynchronous switching |
| C3 | COM1 | Common terminal for Switch 1 - handles primary signal path (e.g., USB D+/D−) |
| C4 | NO1 | Analog Switch 1 Normally Open terminal - connects to COM1 when IN1 = high |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4717EBC-T | Identical dual 4.5Ω SPDT configuration; same UCSP-12 package; -40°C to +85°C temp range vs. 0°C to +70°C for MAX4718EBC | Not suitable for asymmetric RON requirements - lacks dedicated 20Ω channel for sensing or auxiliary routing | Select when matched low-RON performance across both switches is required and extended temperature operation is needed. |
| TMUX1574RSVR | Single-supply 1.8V–5.5V dual SPDT; 5.5Ω/12Ω RON; 300MHz bandwidth; 12-pin WQFN; no guaranteed RON matching spec | Higher RON mismatch (typ. 0.8Ω) and no documented USB 1.1 compliance certification | Consider for cost-sensitive designs where USB TID validation is not mandatory and layout space allows WQFN footprint. |
Compared with MAX4717EBC-T and TMUX1574RSVR, the MAX4718EBC uniquely provides asymmetric RON channels with certified USB 1.1 compliance and tighter RON matching - making it optimal for mixed-signal systems requiring both high-fidelity routing and precision sensing in one package.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the MAX4718EBC?
The MAX4718EBC has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+) rating of +6.0V, but its specified operational range is +1.8V to +5.5V. Operating beyond +5.5V risks permanent damage and voids parametric guarantees. For robust long-term reliability, maintain V+ within the recommended range and observe proper power-supply sequencing (apply V+ before analog signals).
Does the MAX4718EBC support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, the MAX4718EBC supports rail-to-rail analog signal handling: its analog terminals (COM_, NO_, NC_) operate from GND to V+ across the full temperature range. This capability is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Analog Signal Range" and enables seamless integration with full-swing audio codecs, sensor interfaces, and USB transceivers without external clamping or level-shifting circuitry.
How does the MAX4718EBC achieve USB 1.1 compliance?
The MAX4718EBC achieves USB 1.1 compliance through TID #4000231 certification, which validates ≤2ns differential skew between D+ and D− paths, <80ns turn-on time, and >300MHz bandwidth. Its low 15pF on-capacitance and 4.5Ω RON ensure minimal signal degradation and meet USB 1.1 eye-diagram and jitter specifications when used in standard 300Ω/35pF test configurations.
What is the function of the two different RON channels in the MAX4718EBC?
The MAX4718EBC integrates two functionally distinct SPDT switches: SPDT1 (4.5Ω max) is optimized for high-fidelity signal paths like USB D+/D− or stereo audio; SPDT2 (20Ω max) provides higher isolation and lower leakage for auxiliary functions such as headphone detection, bias current routing, or low-speed sensor multiplexing - enabling dual-role signal management in a single UCSP-12 package.
Can the MAX4718EBC digital control inputs be driven with 5V logic while operating from a 3V supply?
Yes, the MAX4718EBC digital inputs (IN1, IN2) accept up to +5.5V regardless of V+ supply voltage. When V+ = +3.0V, VIH = +1.4V and VIL = +0.5V, so a 5V-tolerant MCU can directly drive the inputs without level shifters. This feature simplifies mixed-voltage system design and reduces BOM count in portable electronics with heterogeneous logic families.
