Product details
Overview
MAX4721EBL+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch optimized for USB 1.1 and low-voltage audio signal routing. It operates from a single +1.8V to +5.5V supply, delivers 4.5Ω maximum on-resistance at +3V, features <40ns turn-off time at +2.7V, and supports rail-to-rail analog signal handling up to V+. It is used in portable audio multiplexing and USB data path switching where low distortion and high off-isolation are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4721EBL+T datasheet, MAX4721EBL+T pinout, MAX4721EBL+T application, or MAX4721EBL+T equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, UCSP-9 package layout, USB-compliant timing behavior, leakage performance at temperature extremes, and real-world selection guidance against functionally comparable analog switches.
Technical Context
The MAX4721EBL+T implements two independent normally open (NO) SPST switches using BiCMOS process technology. Its break-before-make switching action (1ns delay) prevents signal shorting during state transitions, and its <2ns differential skew ensures matched channel timing for differential signal paths. The device guarantees operation across –40°C to +85°C with full characterization at both +3V and +5V supplies.
It features rail-to-rail input and output voltage capability, +1.8V logic-compatible digital inputs (VIH = 1.4V min at +3V), and bidirectional analog signal flow. On-channel capacitance is 15pF, off-isolation reaches –55dB at 10MHz, and crosstalk is –80dB at same frequency - all enabling clean USB 1.1 (12Mbps) and audio-band signal integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (max) | 4.5Ω at +3V supply - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in low-voltage audio/USB paths |
| RON matching (max) | 0.3Ω between channels at +3V - enables precise amplitude tracking in dual-channel applications like stereo routing |
| Turn-off time (tOFF) | <40ns at +2.7V - supports fast switching in time-critical multiplexing without signal glitches |
| Off-isolation | –55dB at 10MHz - suppresses coupling between inactive and active signal paths in dense PCB layouts |
| Analog signal range | 0V to V+ - allows full-rail signal transmission without clipping in battery-powered systems |
| Logic compatibility | +1.8V CMOS inputs with VIH = 1.4V min at +3V - interfaces directly with low-voltage microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| Leakage current | <0.5nA at +25°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sample-and-hold or sensor front-ends |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4721EBL+T is housed in a 1.52mm × 1.52mm chip-scale package (UCSP-9) with 3×3 bump array and 0.5mm bump pitch. This ultra-compact footprint reduces board area by >70% versus 8-pin µMAX alternatives while maintaining thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1, IN2 | Digital control input | Active-high logic inputs controlling respective NO switches; compatible with +1.8V to +5.5V logic levels regardless of V+ supply |
| COM1, COM2 | Analog common terminal | Bidirectional analog node - connects to source or load depending on signal direction; handles rail-to-rail voltages |
| NO1, NO2 | Analog normally open terminal | Open-circuit when INx = low; closed to COMx when INx = high - forms two independent SPST paths |
| V+ | Positive supply | Single analog/digital supply input (1.8V–5.5V); powers internal circuitry and defines analog signal ceiling |
| GND | Ground reference | Digital and analog ground return; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| USB 1.1 compliance | Guaranteed <2ns differential skew and <80ns tON at +2.7V - meets timing margin requirements for 12Mbps full-speed USB signaling |
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals from GND to V+ - eliminates level-shifting in single-supply portable systems |
| Low on-capacitance | 15pF typical - minimizes bandwidth degradation and phase shift in high-frequency audio and data paths |
| Break-before-make switching | 1ns guaranteed tBBM - prevents momentary short-circuit between channels during transition |
| Low THD | 0.03% at audio frequencies - preserves fidelity in headphone amplifiers and line-level audio routing |
Applications
| USB 1.1 Data Switching | Portable Audio Multiplexing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Routing USB D+ and D– lines between host controller and multiple peripheral ports in compact docking stations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual SPST switch providing isolated, low-skew signal paths with guaranteed break-before-make timing to prevent bus contention.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4722EBL+T | Two normally closed (NC) switches instead of NO; identical RON, timing, and package | Suitable for fail-safe default-closed paths (e.g., always-on bias networks), not direct functional replacement for NO configuration | Select only if circuit requires NC behavior - pinout and logic polarity differ despite identical UCSP-9 footprint |
| TMUX1574RSVR | 4.2Ω RON max at 3V, but higher 25pF CON; supports 5.5V supply and 100mA continuous current | Better power handling and wider supply range, but lower bandwidth due to higher capacitance - less suitable for USB 1.1 | Prefer for industrial sensor muxing where robustness matters more than USB timing; not drop-in for USB/audio due to skew and bandwidth limits |
Compared with MAX4722EBL+T and TMUX1574RSVR, the MAX4721EBL+T uniquely balances USB 1.1 timing compliance, ultra-low on-capacitance, and sub-0.5nA leakage - making it optimal for portable, battery-sensitive, high-fidelity analog routing where signal integrity is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4721EBL+T?
The MAX4721EBL+T has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+) of +6.0V, but its specified operational range is +1.8V to +5.5V. Operating beyond +5.5V risks permanent damage and invalidates parametric guarantees. For reliable long-term use, maintain V+ within 1.8V–5.5V and observe derating curves above +70°C ambient.
Does MAX4721EBL+T support bidirectional analog signal flow?
Yes, the MAX4721EBL+T supports fully bidirectional analog signal routing. Both COM1/COM2 and NO1/NO2 terminals handle signals equally well in either direction, with identical RON, leakage, and capacitance characteristics - a key requirement for audio line switching and sensor multiplexing where signal direction may vary.
Can MAX4721EBL+T be used in USB 2.0 applications?
No, the MAX4721EBL+T is specified and characterized only for USB 1.1 (12Mbps) compliance. Its –55dB off-isolation at 10MHz and >300MHz –3dB bandwidth are insufficient for USB 2.0's 480Mbps signaling, which demands >45dB isolation at 240MHz and sub-1ns skew - use dedicated USB 2.0 switches like MAX3353 instead.
What is the thermal limit for reflow soldering of the UCSP-9 package in MAX4721EBL+T?
The MAX4721EBL+T UCSP-9 package requires strict adherence to JEDEC J-STD-020A profile: infrared reflow max bump temperature is +220°C (15s), vapor-phase max is +215°C (60s). Preheating is mandatory; hand or wave soldering is prohibited. Exceeding these limits risks die attach failure or bump fracture.
How does MAX4721EBL+T achieve rail-to-rail signal handling?
The MAX4721EBL+T achieves rail-to-rail analog operation through proprietary BiCMOS switch architecture that extends the conduction range of internal MOSFETs down to GND and up to V+, eliminating body-diode conduction and threshold voltage limitations. This allows signals from 0V to V+ to pass with <1.2Ω RFLAT(ON) variation across the full range.
