Product details
Overview
MAX4735ETE from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage, quad-SPDT analog switch optimized for audio signal routing in portable electronics. It delivers 0.31Ω typical on-resistance, 0.015Ω on-resistance matching, and <0.02% THD into 8Ω loads, enabling high-fidelity speaker switching in space-constrained designs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4735ETE datasheet, MAX4735ETE pinout, MAX4735ETE application, or MAX4735ETE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON and RON matching (design-verified only for MAX4735ETE), break-before-make timing, rail-to-rail analog signal range (0V to VCC), and TQFN-16 package compatibility with 1.6V–3.6V supply operation.
Technical Context
The MAX4735ETE implements four independent SPDT switches grouped into two control pairs: INA governs switches 1 and 2; INB governs switches 3 and 4. Each channel supports fully bidirectional, rail-to-rail analog signal routing with guaranteed break-before-make timing (2ns min) and 0.06Ω on-resistance flatness over 0–VCC.
It operates across -40°C to +85°C using a single 1.6V–3.6V supply, with digital inputs compatible down to 1.8V logic. Internal diode clamping protects NO/NC/COM pins against signals exceeding VCC or falling below GND, while leakage currents remain ≤100nA across temperature.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4735EUE | TSSOP-16 package (4.4mm × 5mm); higher θJA (106°C/W); same electrical specs | Preferred where manual soldering or legacy board layouts require SOIC-compatible footprint | Choose MAX4735EUE if TQFN assembly infrastructure is unavailable or thermal budget permits larger package |
| TS5A23157DCUR | 0.9Ω RON; 2-channel SPDT; 1.65V–5.5V supply; no guaranteed RON matching spec | Suitable for non-audio general-purpose switching where THD and channel matching are not critical | Choose TS5A23157DCUR only for cost-sensitive, non-fidelity applications - not a drop-in replacement for MAX4735ETE audio paths |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed RON matching specification for MAX4735ETE?
The MAX4735ETE guarantees 0.015Ω on-resistance matching (∆RON) across its four SPDT channels at VCC = 2.7V and TA = +25°C, with 0.03Ω max over -40°C to +85°C. This specification is explicitly design-verified only for the MAX4735ETE variant per Note 3 in the datasheet - other variants like MAX4735EUE do not carry this guarantee.
Can MAX4735ETE drive an 8Ω speaker directly?
Yes, the MAX4735ETE can drive an 8Ω speaker directly with <0.02% THD+N at 20Hz–20kHz, provided peak signal amplitude stays within ±2.3VRMS to avoid exceeding the 400mA peak current rating at 50% duty cycle. Its 0.31Ω typical RON ensures minimal insertion loss and thermal rise under continuous load.
What is the function of the exposed paddle on the MAX4735ETE TQFN package?
The exposed paddle on the MAX4735ETE TQFN package must be connected to GND. It serves dual purposes: improving thermal dissipation (enabling 1.25W power handling at +70°C) and reducing ground impedance for cleaner audio signal return paths - critical for maintaining low THD+N and minimizing crosstalk in sensitive analog circuits.
Does MAX4735ETE support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, the MAX4735ETE supports true rail-to-rail analog signal switching from 0V to VCC. Its CMOS switch architecture allows signals spanning the full supply range without clipping or distortion, making it suitable for AC-coupled and DC-coupled audio paths in portable systems operating from 1.6V to 3.6V supplies.
How does break-before-make timing prevent audio artifacts in MAX4735ETE?
The MAX4735ETE guarantees ≥2ns break-before-make timing between switch transitions, ensuring no momentary short-circuit occurs when changing audio paths. This eliminates audible pop/click transients during dynamic speaker or headset switching - a critical requirement verified in typical application circuits driving 8Ω or 32Ω loads.
