Product details
Overview
MAX4735EUE 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, <0.02% THD into 8Ω loads, and break-before-make switching across a +1.6V to +3.6V supply range. Its 16-pin TSSOP package supports space-constrained designs such as MP3 players and digital still cameras.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4735EUE datasheet, MAX4735EUE pinout, MAX4735EUE application, or MAX4735EUE equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance flatness (0.06Ω), THD+N performance at 32Ω (0.015%), rail-to-rail analog signal handling (0–VCC), and dual independent control inputs (INA/INB) enabling flexible multiplexing/demultiplexing configurations.
Technical Context
The MAX4735EUE implements four fully bidirectional CMOS SPDT switches arranged as two independently controlled pairs: INA governs switches 1 and 2 (COM1/NO1/NC1 and COM2/NO2/NC2), while INB governs switches 3 and 4 (COM3/NO3/NC3 and COM4/NO4/NC4). Each channel supports rail-to-rail analog signals from GND to VCC and guarantees break-before-make timing (2ns typical).
Its digital inputs are 1.8V logic compatible with VIH = 1.4V min and VIL = 0.5V max, and feature internal diode clamping to GND only. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C and draws only 1µA typical supply current at VCC = 3.6V with all inputs floating.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4736EUE | Single-supply +1.8V to +5.5V range; 0.45Ω RON (typ); no guaranteed break-before-make | Better suited for higher-VCC systems (e.g., 5V USB audio docks); less optimal for sub-2V battery operation | Select MAX4736EUE only if system VCC exceeds 3.6V or if wider voltage margin outweighs need for guaranteed BBM timing. |
| TS5A23157DGSR | 0.9Ω RON (typ) at 3.3V; 0.05% THD+N into 32Ω; 1.65V–5.5V supply; 10ns tON/tOFF | Higher speed but higher distortion and on-resistance - acceptable for non-audio signal switching (e.g., GPIO, sensor mux) | Choose TS5A23157DGSR only for cost-sensitive, non-critical audio paths where <0.02% THD is not required. |
Compared with MAX4735EUE, MAX4736EUE offers extended voltage range but sacrifices guaranteed break-before-make and low-THD performance, while TS5A23157DGSR trades audio fidelity for faster switching and broader logic compatibility - making MAX4735EUE the optimal choice for portable audio routing where distortion, on-resistance, and timing integrity are design-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for each switch channel in the MAX4735EUE?
The MAX4735EUE supports ±300mA continuous current per NO_, NC_, or COM_ terminal. This rating applies across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and allows direct driving of 8Ω loudspeakers up to 2.3VRMS without exceeding limits. Peak current capability is ±400mA at 50% duty cycle, supporting dynamic audio transients. Exceeding these values risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the MAX4735EUE require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on INA and INB control inputs?
No, the MAX4735EUE does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on INA or INB. These inputs are internally clamped to GND only and accept 1.8V logic levels (VIH ≥ 1.4V, VIL ≤ 0.5V). They remain functional even when VCC is unpowered, enabling safe "power-off" control. However, for best noise immunity in noisy environments, a 100pF capacitor from IN_ to GND is recommended to limit ICC current at the logic threshold.
Can the MAX4735EUE be used to switch differential audio signals?
Yes, the MAX4735EUE can switch differential audio signals because all four SPDT channels are fully bidirectional and support rail-to-rail analog voltages (0V to VCC). To maintain common-mode integrity, use matched pairs (e.g., COM1/NO1/NC1 for one polarity, COM2/NO2/NC2 for the other) and ensure identical trace lengths and loading. Its 0.015Ω on-resistance matching minimizes gain mismatch between differential paths, preserving signal fidelity.
How does supply voltage affect THD+N performance in the MAX4735EUE?
THD+N in the MAX4735EUE improves with increasing supply voltage due to reduced on-resistance flatness modulation. At VCC = 3.6V, THD+N into 8Ω drops below 0.02% (typical), while at VCC = 1.8V it rises to ~0.04%. This occurs because higher VCC lowers RON and flattens its variation across the signal swing. For lowest distortion, operate the MAX4735EUE at the highest stable VCC within its 1.6V–3.6V range.
Is the exposed pad on the MAX4735EUE's TSSOP package electrically connected, and how should it be handled on the PCB?
Unlike the TQFN variant, the MAX4735EUE in TSSOP (U16-2 package code) does not feature an exposed thermal pad - it uses a standard 16-pin TSSOP with plastic body only. Therefore, no thermal pad connection or solder paste stencil aperture is required. Thermal management relies on standard PCB copper pour connected to pin 8 (GND) and pin 16 (VCC) traces. Refer to package drawing TSSOP4.40mm.EPS for exact mechanical dimensions.
