Product details
Overview
The MAX4761ETX+ from Maxim Integrated is an octal SPDT analog switch IC designed for high-speed data and audio signal routing in compact portable systems. It operates from a single +1.8V to +5.5V supply, delivers 2.0Ω (typ) on-resistance, 54pF (typ) COM-on capacitance, and supports 150MHz (typ) -3dB bandwidth - enabling USB 2.0 full-speed (12Mbps) signal switching in handheld devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4761ETX+ datasheet, MAX4761ETX+ pinout, MAX4761ETX+ application, or MAX4761ETX+ equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, package-specific terminal mapping, real-world use scenarios, and validated alternative options for audio/data multiplexing designs requiring rail-to-rail signal handling and sub-0.2ns skew.
Technical Context
The MAX4761ETX+ implements eight independent SPDT switches with a single logic control input (INA) and active-low enable (EN), allowing simultaneous or selective channel activation. Its CMOS architecture ensures rail-to-rail analog signal handling (0V to V+) and bidirectional signal flow across NO_, NC_, and COM_ terminals.
It features guaranteed 0.2Ω (typ) channel-to-channel on-resistance matching and 0.8Ω (typ) on-resistance flatness over the full signal range, with break-before-make timing of 2ns (typ) and charge injection of only 15pC (typ) - critical for low-distortion audio and glitch-free data switching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.8V to +5.5V - supports single-supply operation across Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2V), 3.3V, and 5V systems without level-shifting. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 2.0Ω (typ) at V+ = 2.7V - enables low insertion loss (<0.1dB) in 50Ω/600Ω audio/data paths. |
| -3dB Bandwidth | 150MHz (typ) - sufficient for USB 2.0 full-speed (12Mbps) differential signaling and wideband audio up to 20kHz with minimal attenuation. |
| COM On-Capacitance | 54pF (typ) - minimizes loading on high-impedance sources and preserves signal integrity in fast-switching applications. |
| THD | 0.03% (typ) at 20Hz–20kHz - meets high-fidelity audio routing requirements in smartphones and headsets. |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 150ns / 60ns (typ, MAX4761) - supports burst-mode data switching with deterministic timing control. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and consumer portable equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4761ETX+ is supplied in a 36-pin TQFN-EP (6mm × 6mm) package with exposed pad (EP) connected to GND. Pin numbering follows standard top-view orientation; EP must be soldered to a thermal pad on PCB for optimal power dissipation and EMI performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A1) | NC1 | Analog switch 1 normally closed terminal - connects to COM1 when INA = LOW (MAX4761/MAX4761A logic polarity). |
| 2 (B2) | COM2 | Common terminal for switch 2 - bidirectional I/O node shared between NO2 and NC2 paths. |
| 3 (A2) | NC2 | Analog switch 2 normally closed terminal - forms complementary path to NO2 under control of INA and EN. |
| 4 (A3) | INA | Primary logic control input - HIGH enables NOx connection; LOW enables NCx connection (all 8 switches). |
| 5 (C3,D4) | V+ | Positive supply - bypass with 0.1µF capacitor to GND near pin to suppress switching noise coupling. |
| 11,14,17,29,32,35 | N.C. | No-connect pins - must remain unconnected per design; no internal connection or function. |
| 22 (F4) | EN | Active-low enable - drives all 8 switches into high-impedance state when HIGH; required for power-gating in sleep modes. |
| 23 (C4,D3) | GND | Ground reference - connect to low-impedance system ground plane; ties to EP for thermal and EMI control. |
| 36 (B1) | COM1 | Common terminal for switch 1 - primary signal path node; supports rail-to-rail analog voltage swing (0V to V+). |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Thermal and electrical ground - must be soldered to PCB ground plane for RθJA = 47.9°C/W and EMC compliance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Octal SPDT configuration | Eight independent, bidirectional SPDT switches enable flexible signal routing without external buffering or direction control logic. |
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog inputs from 0V to V+ across full temperature range - eliminates clipping in battery-powered audio interfaces. |
| Low 0.2ns (typ) skew | Ensures matched propagation delay across parallel channels - critical for differential USB 2.0 and stereo audio pair switching. |
| 0.03% THD (typ) | Preserves audio fidelity in headset/speaker switching paths without perceptible harmonic distortion. |
| 1.8V logic-compatible inputs | IN_ and EN accept 0V/+5.5V logic regardless of V+ - simplifies interface with mixed-voltage SoCs and PMICs. |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Full-Speed Switching | Smartphone Audio Routing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4761AETX+ | Lower 1.8V logic threshold (VIH = 1.4V min); reduced supply current (12µA max at 5.5V) | Better suited for ultra-low-power battery operation where 1.8V GPIO control is mandatory | Select MAX4761AETX+ when interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers and minimizing quiescent current is critical |
| TMUX1574RTWR | 4-channel SPDT, 0.5Ω RON, 1.65–5.5V supply, 16-pin QFN - not pin-compatible | Limited channel count requires two devices for octal coverage; higher RON increases insertion loss in RF-sensitive paths | Choose TMUX1574RTWR only for space-constrained designs accepting higher RON and reduced channel density |
Compared with MAX4761ETX+, the MAX4761AETX+ offers tighter logic thresholds and lower I+ for energy-sensitive applications, while the TMUX1574RTWR trades channel count and on-resistance for smaller footprint - making MAX4761ETX+ optimal for balanced performance in 8-channel USB/audio routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX4761ETX+?
The MAX4761ETX+ supports rail-to-rail analog signals from 0V to V+, where V+ ranges from +1.8V to +5.5V. This allows direct interfacing with unbuffered audio codecs, USB transceivers, and sensor outputs without level-shifting circuitry - confirmed across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range per Electrical Characteristics table.
Does the MAX4761ETX+ require external power-supply decoupling capacitors?
Yes, the MAX4761ETX+ requires a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed between V+ (pin 5) and GND (pin 23) as close as possible to the device. This is specified in the Applications Information section to suppress switching noise and maintain noise margin - failure to implement it may cause signal integrity issues in high-speed data paths.
How does the EN pin function on the MAX4761ETX+?
The EN pin on the MAX4761ETX+ is an active-low enable that places all eight SPDT switches into a high-impedance state when driven HIGH. When EN is LOW, the switches respond to the INA control signal. This feature enables hardware-level power gating in battery-operated systems - verified in the Functional Diagram and Pin Description sections.
Is the MAX4761ETX+ compatible with USB 2.0 full-speed (12Mbps) signaling?
Yes, the MAX4761ETX+ is explicitly USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 full-speed compliant per its Features list and 150MHz -3dB bandwidth specification. Its 54pF COM-on capacitance, <0.2ns skew, and 2.0Ω RON ensure minimal jitter and insertion loss on D+/D− differential pairs - validated in Typical Operating Characteristics and Applications Information.
What is the thermal requirement for the exposed pad (EP) on the MAX4761ETX+ TQFN package?
The exposed pad (EP) on the MAX4761ETX+ TQFN package must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve thermal resistance θJA = 47.9°C/W. Per Package Information and Absolute Maximum Ratings, EP is internally connected to GND and serves as primary thermal path - omitting this connection risks junction temperature exceeding +150°C under continuous 100mA per channel operation.
