Product details
Overview
The MAX4733EBL+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch with one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) channel, operating from +2V to +11V supply. It delivers 50Ω max on-resistance at +3V, 3.5Ω max RON matching, <0.1nA leakage at +25°C, and rail-to-rail signal handling-ideal for low-power audio routing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4733EBL+ datasheet, MAX4733EBL+ pinout, MAX4733EBL+ application, or MAX4733EBL+ equivalent, this device is selected for battery-powered signal switching where ultra-low quiescent power (0.5nW typ), break-before-make timing (1ns), and UCSP package size (1.52mm × 1.52mm) are critical design constraints.
Technical Context
The MAX4733EBL+ integrates two independent CMOS SPST switches-one NO and one NC-within a single die, sharing common logic inputs (IN1/IN2) and supply (V+). Its internal architecture ensures guaranteed break-before-make operation (tBBM ≤ 1ns), preventing momentary shorting during channel transitions.
It supports TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds (VIH = 2.0V min at +5V, scalable rail-to-rail), operates over –40°C to +85°C, and maintains low dynamic parameters: 300MHz on-channel bandwidth, –108dB crosstalk, and –72dB off-isolation at 1MHz-enabling high-fidelity analog path selection without signal degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.0V to +11V - enables direct integration into Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V systems without level-shifting. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 50Ω max at +3V - ensures minimal insertion loss and voltage drop in precision sensor or audio signal paths. |
| RON Matching | 3.5Ω max at +3V - guarantees matched gain/attenuation between dual channels in differential or stereo applications. |
| Leakage Current | <0.1nA at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance data-acquisition front-ends and battery-monitoring circuits. |
| Break-Before-Make Time | 1ns max - eliminates signal shorting during channel switching in multiplexed ADC/DAC interfaces. |
| Off-Isolation | –72dB at 1MHz - suppresses crosstalk between active and inactive signal paths in dense PCB layouts. |
| Package Size | 1.52mm × 1.52mm UCSP - reduces board area by >70% vs. 8-pin µMAX, critical for space-constrained wearables. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4733EBL+ uses a 9-bump UCSP (Ultra-Compact Silicon Package) with bumps on the bottom surface. The package measures 1.52mm × 1.52mm × 0.6mm and features an exposed silicon die area; no thermal pad is present (unlike TDFN variants).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | NO1 | Normally open analog terminal of Channel 1 - connects to COM1 only when IN1 = logic high. |
| A2 | COM1 | Common analog node for Channel 1 - bidirectional I/O shared between NO1 and NC1. |
| A3 | GND | Digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for stable logic and analog performance. |
| B1 | IN1 | Logic control input for Channel 1 - TTL/CMOS compatible; drives NO1/NC1 state transition. |
| B3 | IN2 | Logic control input for Channel 2 - independent of IN1; enables asynchronous dual-channel switching. |
| C1 | V+ | Positive supply input - accepts +2V to +11V; requires local 0.1µF bypass capacitor near the pin. |
| C2 | COM2 | Common analog node for Channel 2 - bidirectional I/O shared between NO2 and NC2. |
| C3 | NC2 | Normally closed analog terminal of Channel 2 - disconnects from COM2 only when IN2 = logic high. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed 1ns tBBM prevents signal shorting during channel change - essential for safe multiplexing in medical sensors. |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal range | Supports signals from GND to V+ across full supply range (+2V to +11V) - eliminates external clamping diodes in battery-powered designs. |
| Ultra-low quiescent power | 0.5nW typical supply current - extends battery life in always-on IoT edge nodes and portable test equipment. |
| Low charge injection | 7.5pC max - minimizes voltage glitches at COM nodes during switching, preserving integrity in precision ADC sample-hold stages. |
| High off-isolation & low crosstalk | –72dB off-isolation and –108dB crosstalk at 1MHz - maintains signal purity in multi-channel audio/video routing. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4733EUA+ | 8-pin µMAX package (3.0mm × 3.0mm); same electrical specs but 4× larger footprint and higher thermal resistance. | Suitable for prototyping or legacy designs where UCSP assembly is unavailable; not recommended for space-constrained production. | Select MAX4733EUA+ only if board-level rework capability or standard SMT placement is required over miniaturization. |
| ADG702BRMZ-REEL7 | Single SPST switch (not dual); 4Ω RON at +3V but lacks NC/NO combination and break-before-make guarantee. | Requires two devices to replicate MAX4733EBL+ functionality; increases BOM count and layout complexity in dual-path systems. | Choose ADG702BRMZ-REEL7 only for single-channel, ultra-low-RON needs where NC/NO pairing is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX4733EUA+, the MAX4733EBL+ saves >75% board area and improves thermal performance; compared with ADG702BRMZ-REEL7, it delivers integrated dual-channel functionality with guaranteed break-before-make timing-critical for reliable signal routing in compact, battery-sensitive systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the MAX4733EBL+?
The MAX4733EBL+ has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+) of +12V, but its specified operational range is +2.0V to +11V. Operating continuously at +11V is permitted provided a minimum 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor is placed directly at the V+ pin. Exceeding +12V risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the MAX4733EBL+ support break-before-make switching, and is it guaranteed?
Yes, the MAX4733EBL+ guarantees break-before-make operation with a maximum interval of 1ns (tBBM) under all conditions (–40°C to +85°C, +2.7V to +5.5V supply). This is explicitly documented in the Electrical Characteristics tables and applies only to the MAX4733 variant-not MAX4731 or MAX4732-making it uniquely suited for safe channel multiplexing.
What is the on-resistance matching specification for the MAX4733EBL+ at +3V supply?
At +3V supply and +25°C, the MAX4733EBL+ guarantees on-resistance matching (∆RON) of ≤3.5Ω between its two channels. This value represents the difference between the maximum and minimum RON of the NO1/COM1 and NC2/COM2 paths, ensuring consistent signal attenuation across both switches in stereo or differential configurations.
Can the MAX4733EBL+ handle analog signals beyond the supply rails?
No-the MAX4733EBL+ does not support overvoltage-tolerant operation. Analog signals on NO_, NC_, or COM_ pins must remain within –0.3V to (V+ + 0.3V) per Absolute Maximum Ratings. Signals exceeding this range risk forward-biasing internal protection diodes and causing excessive leakage or latch-up; external clamping is required for overvoltage scenarios.
What is the logic compatibility of the MAX4733EBL+ inputs at different supply voltages?
The MAX4733EBL+ inputs are TTL-compatible when V+ = +5V (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V). At other supplies (e.g., +3.3V or +11V), inputs must be driven rail-to-rail-i.e., logic high = V+, logic low = GND-to ensure correct switching and minimize supply current. Driving partial-rail logic levels may increase static power or cause undefined states.
