Product details
Overview
MAX4784ETE+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage, quad 2:1 analog multiplexer IC with 0.7Ω on-resistance at +2.7V supply, 20ns turn-on time, and rail-to-rail signal handling up to +4.2V. It features +1.8V CMOS-compatible logic inputs, 0.1Ω RON flatness, and operates across –40°C to +85°C in a 3mm × 3mm thin QFN-EP package. It enables precise signal routing in battery-powered audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4784ETE+ datasheet, MAX4784ETE+ pinout, MAX4784ETE+ application, or MAX4784ETE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching across channels, break-before-make timing (1ns), off-isolation (–67dB at 1MHz), and compatibility with 1.6V–4.2V single-supply operation in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4784ETE+ implements four independent bidirectional 2:1 analog switches controlled by two address bits (A0, A1) and an active-low enable (EN). Each switch supports rail-to-rail analog signals (GND to V+) and exhibits matched on-resistance (ΔRON ≤ 0.2Ω at +2.7V) and ultra-low charge injection (5pC).
Its CMOS construction ensures low leakage (±5nA COMOFF at +85°C), high off-isolation (–67dB), and low crosstalk (–95dB), making it suitable for precision multiplexing where signal integrity and channel-to-channel consistency are critical in low-power mixed-signal systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (RON) | 0.7Ω at V+ = +2.7V - enables <10mV drop at 100mA, preserving signal fidelity in low-voltage sensor/audio paths |
| RON flatness | 0.1Ω at V+ = +2.7V - ensures consistent gain/attenuation across full analog input range (0V to V+) |
| Turn-on/turn-off time | tON = 20ns, tOFF = 8ns - supports >10MHz switching rates in data acquisition and comms routing |
| Off-isolation | –67dB at 1MHz - suppresses coupling between active and inactive channels in multi-source systems |
| Crosstalk | –95dB at 1MHz - prevents interference between adjacent switched audio/video signals |
| Supply voltage range | +1.6V to +4.2V - compatible with Li-ion, Li-poly, and regulated 1.8V/3.3V rails without level-shifting |
| Logic compatibility | +1.8V CMOS - accepts standard low-voltage microcontroller GPIOs directly, reducing BOM count |
Pinout & Package
MAX4784ETE+ uses a 16-pin 3mm × 3mm thin QFN-EP package with exposed pad (internally connected to GND) for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is A0; pin 16 is V+; pin 8 is GND; pin 15 is EN; pins 1–4, 6–7, 9–10, 12–14 are analog terminals (COM/NO/NC per channel); pins 5 and 11 are NC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0, A1 | Address inputs | Select one of four NO/NC pairs per COM terminal; binary-encoded control with no external decoding logic required |
| EN | Active-low enable | Pulls all switches into high-impedance state when high - enables system-level power gating and fault isolation |
| COM1–COM4 | Analog common terminals | Bidirectional I/O nodes; each connects to one load (e.g., ADC input, codec line) shared across two signal sources |
| NO1–NO4, NC1–NC4 | Normally open / normally closed analog terminals | Provide fail-safe routing: NC path conducts when A0/A1 = 0, NO path conducts when A0/A1 = 1 - supports redundancy or default signal paths |
| V+, GND, EP | Power and ground | V+ supplies internal CMOS switches; GND and EP form low-inductance return path - mandatory for stable RON and THD performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports input/output voltages from GND to V+ (up to +4.2V) - eliminates clamping diodes or external level shifters in wide-dynamic-range systems |
| Break-before-make timing | 1ns guaranteed - prevents momentary shorting between NO and NC paths during switching, critical for avoiding signal glitches in audio/video |
| Ultra-low quiescent power | <2µA supply current - extends battery life in always-on monitoring or standby-mode portable devices |
| Low THD | 0.008% at 20Hz–20kHz - preserves audio fidelity in headset, speaker, and ringtone routing applications |
| High channel-to-channel matching | ΔRON ≤ 0.2Ω - ensures uniform gain/loss across all four channels in multi-channel data acquisition front-ends |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4780ETE+ | Replaces EN pin with A1 address input; identical RON, timing, and package - lacks global enable functionality | Suitable only where per-channel addressing suffices; not usable where system-wide switch disable is required | Select MAX4784ETE+ when centralized enable control is needed; choose MAX4780ETE+ only if A1 is preferred over EN and no global shutdown is required |
| TMUX1574RSVR | Lower RON (0.5Ω), wider supply (1.08V–4.5V), but higher leakage (±25nA) and no NC/NO dual-path architecture | Optimized for ultra-low-voltage MCU interfaces; lacks fail-safe NC path for default signal continuity | Prefer MAX4784ETE+ when NC/NO redundancy, sub-10nA leakage, or proven –40°C to +85°C performance is mandatory |
Compared with MAX4780ETE+, the MAX4784ETE+ adds system-level enable control at no cost to RON or speed; versus TMUX1574RSVR, it trades marginal RON reduction for robust NC/NO architecture and tighter leakage specs essential in precision battery-powered systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX4784ETE+?
The MAX4784ETE+ supports rail-to-rail analog signals from GND to V+, with V+ operating from +1.6V to +4.2V. At +2.7V supply, it handles 0V to +2.7V signals with minimal RON variation (0.1Ω flatness). This allows direct interfacing with sensors, codecs, and ADCs without external level-shifting circuitry, preserving signal integrity across the full supply range.
Does the MAX4784ETE+ support true bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, the MAX4784ETE+ supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow on all COM, NO, and NC terminals. Its CMOS switch architecture imposes no directionality - signals can pass from COM to NO/NC or vice versa with identical RON, capacitance, and leakage characteristics. This enables flexible use in both source-selection and load-switching configurations within the same design.
How does the EN pin function in the MAX4784ETE+ compared to the MAX4780ETE+?
The MAX4784ETE+ includes an active-low EN pin that places all four switches into high-impedance state when driven high, enabling system-level power gating. In contrast, the MAX4780ETE+ replaces EN with A1, offering only per-channel addressing. Thus, MAX4784ETE+ provides centralized control unavailable in MAX4780ETE+, critical for fault recovery or sleep-mode isolation in safety-aware designs.
What is the thermal role of the exposed pad (EP) on the MAX4784ETE+ QFN package?
On the MAX4784ETE+, the exposed pad (EP) is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a large PCB ground plane. It serves as the primary thermal conduction path - dissipating heat from the die and lowering junction-to-board thermal resistance. Proper EP connection is mandatory to maintain RON stability and ensure reliable operation at full rated current (±300mA) across –40°C to +85°C.
Can the MAX4784ETE+ operate reliably at 1.6V supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX4784ETE+ is fully specified down to +1.6V supply. At this voltage, typical RON is 5Ω (vs. 0.7Ω at +2.7V), tON/tOFF increase to 35ns/20ns, and logic thresholds adjust to VIH = +1.0V/VIL = +0.4V. All parameters remain guaranteed across –40°C to +85°C, enabling operation in deep-undervoltage scenarios such as end-of-life battery conditions in portable equipment.
