Product details
Overview
MAX4749ETE from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage, dual SPST analog switch with two normally open (NO) and two normally closed (NC) channels in a 16-pin thin QFN package. It operates from +2V to +11V, delivers ≤50Ω on-resistance at +3V, ≤25Ω at +5V, <0.1nA leakage at +25°C, and supports rail-to-rail signal handling-ideal for precision signal routing in portable medical devices and audio interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4749ETE datasheet, MAX4749ETE pinout, MAX4749ETE application, or MAX4749ETE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed break-before-make timing (1ns), on-resistance matching (≤3.5Ω at +3V), off-isolation (−72dB at 1MHz), crosstalk (−84dB), and compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic across its full supply range.
Technical Context
The MAX4749ETE implements a CMOS-based dual SPST architecture with independent NO/NC channel pairing per switch, enabling simultaneous bidirectional signal path control. Its internal protection diodes support overvoltage tolerance up to V+ + 0.3V, and logic inputs are rail-to-rail compatible-ensuring reliable switching even at +2V or +11V supply.
Break-before-make timing (tBBM = 1ns) prevents signal shorting during state transitions, while charge injection (7–9pC) and low on-capacitance (40pF COM-on) preserve signal integrity in high-fidelity audio and low-distortion data-acquisition paths. The device is fully specified over −40°C to +85°C and 100% tested at +85°C for Thin QFN variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.0V to +11V - enables single-supply operation in battery-powered and wide-input industrial systems |
| On-Resistance (RON) | ≤50Ω at +3V - ensures minimal signal attenuation in low-voltage sensor front-ends |
| On-Resistance Matching | ≤3.5Ω at +3V - maintains channel-to-channel gain consistency in differential or multiplexed paths |
| Off-Isolation | −72dB at 1MHz - suppresses coupling between inactive channels in multi-source routing |
| Crosstalk | −84dB at 1MHz - prevents interference between adjacent switched signals in dense PCB layouts |
| Leakage Current | ±0.1nA at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance glucose meter and pH probe interfaces |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 170ns / 70ns at +3V - supports fast multiplexing in real-time data acquisition up to ~1MHz |
Pinout & Package
MAX4749ETE uses a 16-pin thin QFN package (4mm × 4mm × 0.8mm) with exposed paddle (EP) connected to V+. The package supports high thermal efficiency and compact layout in space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3 | COM1, COM2 | Common terminals for dual SPST switches - serve as bidirectional signal I/O points |
| 2 | NO2 | Normally open terminal of Switch 2 - connects to COM2 only when IN2 is HIGH |
| 4, 13 | IN2, IN1 | Digital control inputs - TTL/CMOS-compatible; drive HIGH/LOW relative to V+ for channel selection |
| 5, 12 | IN3, IN4 | Digital control inputs for NC channels - activate NC1/NC2 when driven LOW (inverted logic sense) |
| 6 | GND | Digital ground reference - must be tied to system ground plane for noise immunity |
| 7 | NO3 | Normally open terminal of Switch 3 - paired with COM3 (Pin 9) for third SPST path |
| 9, 10 | COM3, COM4 | Common terminals for additional SPST paths - enable four-channel routing capability |
| 11 | NO4 | Normally open terminal of Switch 4 - completes quad SPST configuration with COM4 |
| 15 | V+ | Positive supply input - powers analog and digital sections; EP must be soldered to V+ plane |
| 16 | NO1 | Normally open terminal of Switch 1 - connects to COM1 (Pin 1) under IN1 control |
| 8, 14 | N.C. | No connection - not internally bonded; left floating or grounded per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Break-before-make timing | 1ns guaranteed - eliminates momentary short-circuit risk during channel switching in critical analog paths |
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | 0V to V+ analog range - preserves full dynamic range of sensors and DAC outputs without level-shifting |
| Ultra-low quiescent power | 0.5nW typical - extends battery life in always-on glucose meters and wearable health monitors |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | VIH = +2.0V, VIL = +0.8V at +3V - allows direct interface with microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters |
| Low charge injection | 7pC at +3V - minimizes voltage glitch on high-impedance nodes during switching in precision ADC front-ends |

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX4749ETE?
The MAX4749ETE has an absolute maximum V+ rating of +12V, but operational specification is limited to +2V to +11V. Exceeding +11V risks violating functional limits-even if within absolute ratings-and may degrade long-term reliability. Always bypass V+ with ≥0.1µF capacitor near the MAX4749ETE pins for stability at high voltages.
Does MAX4749ETE support true bidirectional signal routing?
Yes, MAX4749ETE supports fully bidirectional analog signal routing. Its CMOS switch architecture allows NO_, NC_, and COM_ terminals to function interchangeably as inputs or outputs-enabling flexible path configurations in both source-to-load and load-to-source directions without polarity constraints.
How does the logic polarity work for NC channels on MAX4749ETE?
On MAX4749ETE, NC channels activate (connect COM to NC) when their corresponding IN_ pin is driven LOW. This inverted logic sense is explicitly defined in the truth table and differs from NO channel behavior (activated HIGH). Designers must route control signals accordingly to avoid unintended default states.
Is the exposed paddle (EP) on MAX4749ETE electrically connected?
Yes, the exposed paddle (EP) on MAX4749ETE is internally connected to V+. It must be soldered to a V+ copper pour on the PCB for proper thermal dissipation and electrical reference. Leaving EP unconnected or grounding it violates the device's thermal and electrical specifications and may cause malfunction.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance flatness for MAX4749ETE at +3V?
At +3V supply, MAX4749ETE guarantees ≤9Ω on-resistance flatness (RFLAT(ON)) over its full analog signal range (0V to V+). This parameter reflects the peak-to-peak variation in RON as the COM voltage sweeps across the rail-to-rail span-critical for maintaining linearity in precision instrumentation amplifier interfaces.
