Product details
Overview
The MAX4731EUA+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual, normally open (NO), single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch IC operating from a single +2V to +11V supply. It delivers 50Ω maximum on-resistance at +3V, 0.1nA leakage current at +25°C, and rail-to-rail signal handling - enabling precise low-power signal routing in portable instrumentation and battery-powered audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4731EUA+ datasheet, MAX4731EUA+ pinout, MAX4731EUA+ application, or MAX4731EUA+ equivalent, this device is selected for ultra-low quiescent power (0.5nW typ), tight on-resistance matching (3.5Ω max at +3V), and compact 8-pin µMAX® packaging - critical for space-constrained, low-leakage analog multiplexing designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4731EUA+ implements two independent CMOS SPST switches with TTL/CMOS-compatible digital control inputs (IN1, IN2), each driving a normally open path between COMx and NOx terminals. Its architecture supports bidirectional analog signal flow across the full supply range (GND to V+), with guaranteed performance over –40°C to +85°C.
It features integrated protection diodes on all analog pins, requires no external biasing, and maintains stable RON flatness (9Ω max at +3V) and low charge injection (7.5pC) - making it suitable for precision data acquisition front-ends and high-fidelity audio switching where signal integrity and minimal transient disturbance are essential.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.0V to +11V - enables direct integration into 3.3V, 5V, and higher-voltage mixed-signal systems without level-shifting. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 50Ω max at +3V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in sensor interface and ADC input paths. |
| RON Matching | 3.5Ω max at +3V - guarantees matched channel behavior for differential or ratiometric measurements. |
| Leakage Current | ±0.1nA at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance circuits (e.g., pH sensors, photodiode amplifiers). |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 170ns / 70ns max at +3V - supports fast multiplexing in multi-channel data loggers up to ~5MHz effective scan rate. |
| Off-Isolation | –72dB at 1MHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive channels in A/V routing and communication signal paths. |
| Package | 8-pin µMAX® (3.0mm × 3.0mm) - provides PCB area savings vs. SOIC while maintaining hand-solderability and thermal performance. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4731EUA+ uses an 8-pin µMAX® package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with exposed pad connected to GND for thermal and noise performance. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or bevelled corner.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | V+ | Positive supply input - must be bypassed with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor near the pin for stability at high supply voltages. |
| 2 | IN1 | Digital control input for Switch 1 - logic-high connects COM1 to NO1; TTL/CMOS compatible at +3V to +5V supplies. |
| 3 | COM2 | Common terminal of Switch 2 - bidirectional analog node; accepts rail-to-rail signals from GND to V+. |
| 4 | NO2 | Normally open terminal of Switch 2 - forms closed path with COM2 only when IN2 = logic-high. |
| 5 | GND | Digital/analog ground reference - connect exposed pad to same plane for optimal EMI immunity and thermal dissipation. |
| 6 | IN2 | Digital control input for Switch 2 - independent of IN1; enables asynchronous switching of dual channels. |
| 7 | COM1 | Common terminal of Switch 1 - primary signal path for first channel; shares no internal coupling with COM2. |
| 8 | NO1 | Normally open terminal of Switch 1 - isolated from COM1 until enabled; supports hot-swap and zero-power standby modes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent power | 0.5nW typical - extends battery life in always-on monitoring devices beyond 10 years with coin-cell power. |
| Rail-to-rail analog operation | Supports signals from GND to V+ - eliminates need for external level shifters in single-supply data acquisition systems. |
| Tight RON flatness | 9Ω max over full signal range at +3V - minimizes harmonic distortion and amplitude error in audio and sensor signals. |
| Low charge injection | 7.5pC - reduces glitch-induced settling time in precision sample-and-hold and switched-capacitor circuits. |
| High off-isolation | –72dB at 1MHz - prevents signal bleed-through in multi-source A/V matrix applications and RF test equipment. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG702BRMZ-REEL | Higher RON (60Ω max @ +3V), wider temp range (–40°C to +125°C), same 8-MSOP package. | Better suited for automotive under-hood sensing where extended temperature rating is mandatory. | Select ADG702BRMZ-REEL only if >+85°C operation is required; MAX4731EUA+ offers lower RON and leakage for portable industrial use. |
| TS5A23157DCUR | Lower RON (0.9Ω typ @ +3.3V), but higher leakage (10nA), smaller 8-VSSOP footprint (2.3mm × 2.0mm). | Ideal for high-speed, low-distortion routing in consumer audio SoC interfaces where leakage is less critical. | Choose TS5A23157DCUR for <1Ω RON priority in non-battery-critical designs; MAX4731EUA+ remains superior for nanoamp-level system leakage budgets. |
Compared with ADG702BRMZ-REEL and TS5A23157DCUR, the MAX4731EUA+ uniquely balances ultra-low leakage (0.1nA), moderate RON (50Ω), and industry-standard µMAX® packaging - making it the optimal choice for long-life, precision, battery-operated instrumentation where both power and accuracy are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the MAX4731EUA+?
The MAX4731EUA+ has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+) of +12V, but its recommended operating range is +2.0V to +11V. Operation above +11V risks reliability degradation; for +11V use, a minimum 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor must be placed directly at the V+ pin to ensure stability and prevent latch-up.
Does the MAX4731EUA+ support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, the MAX4731EUA+ fully supports rail-to-rail analog signal switching - signals from GND to V+ pass through the NO1/COM1 and NO2/COM2 paths with minimal RON variation. This capability eliminates level-shifting circuitry in single-supply systems such as portable data loggers and battery-powered sensor nodes using the MAX4731EUA+.
What is the logic compatibility of the MAX4731EUA+ control inputs?
The MAX4731EUA+ IN1 and IN2 inputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible when operated from a +5V supply (VIH = 2.0V min, VIL = 0.8V max). At other supply voltages, they require rail-to-rail logic drive - e.g., 0V/3.3V for a +3.3V V+, or 0V/11V for an +11V V+. This ensures minimal quiescent current and consistent switching thresholds across the full supply range of the MAX4731EUA+.
How does the MAX4731EUA+ handle leakage current in high-impedance circuits?
The MAX4731EUA+ guarantees ±0.1nA maximum leakage current at +25°C on all analog terminals (NO_, COM_), making it suitable for high-impedance applications like pH electrode interfaces and photodiode transimpedance amplifiers. At +85°C, leakage rises to ±2nA - still within usable range for most precision sensor front-ends using the MAX4731EUA+.
Can the MAX4731EUA+ be used in audio signal routing applications?
Yes, the MAX4731EUA+ is widely deployed in audio routing due to its –108dB crosstalk at 1MHz, 300MHz on-channel bandwidth, and low 7.5pC charge injection - all contributing to low THD (<0.001% at 1kHz) and absence of audible switching artifacts. Its dual NO configuration in the MAX4731EUA+ simplifies mono/stereo source selection in compact audio adapters and docking stations.
