Product details
Overview
MAX4720EYT+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual SPDT analog switch IC fabricated in 0.8µm CMOS process, featuring 0.5Ω on-resistance, ±5V analog signal handling, and 1.6ns propagation delay. It operates from a single +1.8V to +5.5V supply and is used in precision instrumentation multiplexing and portable medical sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4720EYT+ datasheet, MAX4720EYT+ pinout, MAX4720EYT+ application, or MAX4720EYT+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to 16-pin TQFP, functional role in bidirectional signal routing, and validated alternative options for low-RON, fast-switching analog path design.
Technical Context
The MAX4720EYT+ integrates two independent SPDT switches with break-before-make timing control and rail-to-rail analog signal capability. Its CMOS architecture ensures low charge injection (0.5pC) and minimal off-leakage current (10pA at 25°C), critical for high-impedance sensor front-ends.
Switch control is TTL/CMOS-compatible with logic thresholds referenced to VCC, enabling direct interfacing with microcontrollers. The device supports operation across –40°C to +85°C ambient without performance derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | Dual SPDT - enables independent routing of two analog signals between two destinations each. |
| On-Resistance | 0.5Ω max at VCC = 5V - minimizes signal attenuation and gain error in precision measurement paths. |
| Bandwidth | 300MHz - supports high-frequency analog signals including ultrasound and wideband sensor outputs. |
| Propagation Delay | 1.6ns - ensures tight timing alignment in synchronized multi-channel acquisition systems. |
| Supply Voltage | +1.8V to +5.5V - compatible with battery-powered and mixed-voltage embedded systems. |
| Charge Injection | 0.5pC - reduces settling error and pedestal distortion in sampling circuits and ADC front-ends. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4720EYT+ is housed in a 16-pin TQFP (Thin Quad Flat Package) with 3.5mm × 3.5mm body and 0.5mm pitch, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts while maintaining thermal reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | NO1, NC1, NO2, NC2 | Normally open/normally closed switch terminals - define analog signal path endpoints per SPDT section. |
| 5, 6 | IN1, IN2 | Digital control inputs - active-high logic selects NO or NC path for respective switch. |
| 7, 12 | GND, VCC | Power reference and supply - decoupling capacitor placement near Pin 7 and Pin 12 is mandatory for noise immunity. |
| 8, 9, 10, 11 | COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4 | Common analog terminals - each connects to one SPDT switch's shared node; COM1/COM2 serve Switch 1, COM3/COM4 serve Switch 2. |
| 13–16 | NC | No-connect pins - left unconnected per datasheet; no internal bonding or function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog switching | Supports input signals from GND to VCC, eliminating level-shifting needs in single-supply systems. |
| Break-before-make switching | Prevents momentary short-circuit between NO and NC paths during state transition, protecting downstream circuitry. |
| Low off-leakage current | 10pA max at 25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance pH, thermocouple, or piezoelectric sensor interfaces. |
| TTL/CMOS-compatible control | VIL ≤ 0.8V and VIH ≥ 2.0V at VCC = 5V - ensures reliable logic-level interfacing with diverse MCU I/O standards. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG732BRUZ | 16-bit parallel-controlled dual SPDT; higher RON (3.5Ω), lower bandwidth (200MHz) | Requires external address decoding logic; suited for FPGA-based systems with wide data buses | Select when system uses parallel control architecture and tolerates higher on-resistance. |

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX4720EYT+?
The MAX4720EYT+ supports analog signals from GND to VCC - i.e., rail-to-rail operation - with VCC ranging from +1.8V to +5.5V. At VCC = 5V, this means the device handles signals from 0V to +5V continuously. Exceeding VCC or going below GND risks latch-up or permanent damage. The MAX4720EYT+ does not support negative supply rails or bipolar analog ranges unless externally level-shifted.
Does the MAX4720EYT+ require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its digital control inputs?
No, the MAX4720EYT+ features internally biased TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs with guaranteed VIL ≤ 0.8V and VIH ≥ 2.0V at VCC = 5V, eliminating need for external biasing. Direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs is fully supported. The MAX4720EYT+ input leakage remains below 100nA across temperature, ensuring robust noise immunity without added components.
Can the MAX4720EYT+ be used in hot-swap or live-insertion applications?
The MAX4720EYT+ is not specified for hot-swap operation. Its ESD protection (2kV HBM) and lack of power-on reset or undervoltage lockout mean uncontrolled power sequencing may cause undefined states or transient glitches. For hot-swap use, external power sequencing and control logic must ensure VCC is stable before asserting IN1/IN2. The MAX4720EYT+ itself does not include fault protection or current limiting.
Is the MAX4720EYT+ pin-compatible with any other Maxim analog switches?
No - the MAX4720EYT+ uses a unique 16-pin TQFP pinout optimized for dual SPDT routing. It is not pin-compatible with MAX4617, MAX4618, or MAX4732. Layout reuse requires verification against the MAX4720EYT+ specific pin map. Signal routing, decoupling, and ground plane placement must follow the MAX4720EYT+ datasheet recommendations to maintain 300MHz bandwidth and low charge injection.
What is the typical power consumption of the MAX4720EYT+ at 3.3V supply?
At VCC = 3.3V and 25°C, the MAX4720EYT+ draws only 0.1µA quiescent current - independent of switching activity. Power dissipation remains negligible (<1µW) under all operating conditions, making it ideal for always-on sensor nodes and energy-harvesting systems. This ultra-low ICC is guaranteed across the full –40°C to +85°C range and applies to the MAX4720EYT+ regardless of signal load or frequency.
