Product details
Overview
MAX4748EWE+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage, quad SPST analog switch with normally closed (NC) configuration, operating from +2V to +11V and handling rail-to-rail analog signals. It delivers 50Ω max on-resistance at +3V, 3.5Ω max channel matching, <0.1nA leakage at +25°C, and 0.5nW typical quiescent power-enabling precision signal routing in space-constrained, battery-powered medical and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4748EWE+T datasheet, MAX4748EWE+T pinout, MAX4748EWE+T application, or MAX4748EWE+T equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (16-bump WLP, 2mm × 2mm), confirmed NC-only switching topology, real-world dynamic specs (tON = 170ns max, BW = 250MHz), and two validated alternative parts for low-leakage, low-RON analog switching.
Technical Context
The MAX4748EWE+T implements four independent, single-pole single-throw (SPST) switches with normally closed (NC) logic polarity: each switch connects COM to NC when control input is LOW, and opens the path when HIGH. Its CMOS process ensures rail-to-rail analog signal handling across the full +2V to +11V supply range, with guaranteed leakage <0.1nA and on-resistance flatness ≤9Ω over the signal range at +3V.
Designed for minimal parasitic impact, it achieves -72dB off-isolation and -84dB crosstalk at 1MHz, 40pF COM on-capacitance, and 7pC typical charge injection-making it suitable for high-fidelity audio routing and low-distortion data-acquisition front-ends where signal integrity and channel-to-channel consistency are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.0V to +11V - supports single-supply operation in both low-voltage portable and higher-voltage industrial systems without level-shifting. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 50Ω max at +3V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor or audio signal paths. |
| On-Resistance Matching | 3.5Ω max between channels at +3V - enables matched gain/attenuation across multi-channel routing (e.g., stereo audio or dual-sensor inputs). |
| Leakage Current | <0.1nA at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance circuits like glucose meter front-ends or pH sensor interfaces. |
| Off-Isolation / Crosstalk | -72dB / -84dB at 1MHz - suppresses signal coupling between inactive and active channels in dense PCB layouts. |
| Switching Speed | tON = 170ns max, tOFF = 70ns max - supports fast multiplexing in data acquisition up to ~1MHz effective sample rate. |
| Package | 16-bump WLP, 2mm × 2mm - reduces board area by >60% vs. TSSOP, enabling ultra-compact wearable and implantable designs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4748EWE+T is housed in a 16-bump wafer-level package (WLP) measuring 2mm × 2mm, with bumps arranged in a 4×4 grid (A1–D4). The package is RoHS-compliant, lead(Pb)-free, and requires reflow soldering per Maxim Application Note 1891. Exposed substrate is internally connected to V+; no external EP connection is needed.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| B1, A2, C4, D2 | NC1–NC4 | Normally closed analog terminals - conduct to COM when corresponding IN is LOW; open when HIGH. |
| A1, A3, D4, D3 | COM1–COM4 | Common analog I/O nodes - bidirectional, rail-to-rail capable; serve as input or output depending on signal flow direction. |
| C1, A4, B4, D1 | IN1–IN4 | Digital control inputs - TTL/CMOS-compatible; drive LOW to close NC path, HIGH to open it. |
| C3 | GND | Digital ground reference - must be tied to system digital ground plane for logic threshold stability and noise immunity. |
| B2 | V+ | Positive supply - powers analog and digital sections; internal substrate connection mandates clean, low-impedance bypassing (≥0.1µF). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals from GND to V+ without clipping or distortion - essential for full-scale battery voltage monitoring and unipolar sensor outputs. |
| Guaranteed low leakage | <0.1nA at +25°C - prevents DC offset drift in high-gain, high-impedance measurement circuits such as ECG front-ends or potentiostat interfaces. |
| Low on-resistance flatness | 9Ω max at +3V - maintains consistent gain across the entire analog input range, critical for accurate ADC driver applications. |
| Ultra-small WLP footprint | 2mm × 2mm area - enables placement directly adjacent to sensors or connectors in space-limited handheld diagnostics and wearables. |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | VIH = 2.0V min, VIL = 0.8V max at +3V - interoperates directly with 3.3V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4747EWE+T | Quad SPST with normally open (NO) logic polarity instead of NC; identical RON, leakage, and package. | Suitable where active-HIGH enable is required (e.g., safety-critical default-open paths); not drop-in for NC-required fail-safe designs. | Select MAX4747EWE+T only if circuit logic demands NO behavior; verify truth table alignment with MCU GPIO states. |
| TMUX1574RSVR | 4-channel SPST, 5.5V max supply, 0.5Ω typical RON, 1.5pC charge injection - lower RON but narrower voltage range and higher leakage (5nA). | Better for low-voltage, low-distortion audio; unsuitable for 5–11V industrial sensors or battery-monitoring above 4.5V. | Choose TMUX1574RSVR for sub-5V, high-bandwidth audio; retain MAX4748EWE+T for wide-supply, ultra-low-leakage medical sensing. |
Compared with MAX4747EWE+T and TMUX1574RSVR, the MAX4748EWE+T uniquely combines NC default state, 2–11V operation, and sub-0.1nA leakage-making it irreplaceable in fail-safe, battery-powered diagnostic devices where channel isolation at zero power is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the default switch state of MAX4748EWE+T when power is applied but control inputs are floating?
MAX4748EWE+T has no internal pull-up or pull-down on IN pins. With floating inputs, switch state is undefined and may oscillate or settle unpredictably. Always tie IN1–IN4 to valid logic levels (GND or V+) via MCU GPIO or external resistors. This prevents unintended conduction, excessive leakage, or latch-up in the MAX4748EWE+T analog path.
Can MAX4748EWE+T operate reliably at +11V supply, and what layout precautions are required?
Yes, MAX4748EWE+T is rated for +11V operation (absolute max +12V). To ensure reliability, place a ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor between V+ and GND as close as possible to the WLP bumps. Avoid routing high-dv/dt digital traces near analog pins, and use separate analog/digital ground planes tied at a single point near the MAX4748EWE+T GND bump.
Does MAX4748EWE+T support bidirectional analog signal flow, and how does that affect PCB layout?
Yes, MAX4748EWE+T is fully bidirectional: COM, NC, and IN (digital) pins can handle signals in either direction. For optimal performance, keep analog trace lengths short and symmetric, avoid vias in signal paths, and route COM and NC traces with matched impedance-especially critical in audio or high-frequency data-acquisition applications using the MAX4748EWE+T.
How does temperature affect on-resistance and leakage in MAX4748EWE+T?
On-resistance increases with temperature: RON rises ~20% from +25°C to +85°C at +3V. Leakage remains <2nA over -40°C to +85°C, with typical values <0.1nA at +25°C and <1pA at -40°C. For precision applications, calibrate RON drift in firmware or select tighter tolerance external components when using MAX4748EWE+T across wide temperature ranges.
Is the 16-bump WLP package of MAX4748EWE+T compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles?
Yes, MAX4748EWE+T WLP is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to +260°C. Follow Maxim Application Note 1891 for bump-pad layout, stencil design (0.12mm thickness), and ramp rates. Avoid thermal shock; preheat to 150°C before ramping to peak. Post-reflow inspection requires X-ray or acoustic microscopy due to bump-under-package geometry.
