Product details
Overview
MAX4907ELA+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual SPST analog switch optimized for USB 2.0 high-speed (480Mbps) signal routing. It delivers 7Ω (max) on-resistance, 7pF (max) on-capacitance, -3dB bandwidth of 1GHz (typ), and +5.5V fault protection on COM1/COM2 terminals. It operates from a single +3.0V to +3.6V supply and supports 1.4V logic-level control in portable USB host-switching applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4907ELA+ datasheet, MAX4907ELA+ pinout, MAX4907ELA+ application, or MAX4907ELA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include USB 2.0 compliance, low RON/CON trade-off, fault-protection capability, shutdown current <2µA, and µDFN-8 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4907ELA+ implements a charge-pump-assisted n-channel architecture enabling rail-to-rail analog signal switching (0V to V+) with minimal distortion. Its dual independent SPST configuration allows simultaneous, isolated routing of two differential USB D+/D− pairs without crosstalk-induced timing skew.
It features a dedicated SHDN input (not SHDN/EN) that places the device into low-current mode (<2µA) while maintaining functional analog operation within 0–1.5V range; full performance resumes when SHDN is driven low. Fault protection activates at ≥4.0V on COM pins, with 3.0µs response time and 2µs recovery.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4907FELA+ | Includes +5.5V fault protection on COM1/COM2; otherwise identical pinout, RON, CON, and timing. | Required for USB applications where bus shorts are probable (e.g., consumer-facing ports); adds ~$0.15 cost. | Select MAX4907FELA+ when fault protection is mandated by system safety requirements or regulatory testing. |
| TS3USB221ERGER | Lower RON (6Ω typ), same 8-pin µQFN package, but no fault protection and only 1.8V logic compatible (VIH = 1.4V not guaranteed). | Suitable for space-constrained designs needing marginally better RON but lacking USB bus fault exposure. | Choose TS3USB221ERGER only if fault protection is unnecessary and 1.4V logic compatibility is verified per unit. |
Compared with MAX4907FELA+, the MAX4907ELA+ trades fault protection for lower cost and identical core switching performance; versus TS3USB221ERGER, it guarantees 1.4V logic compatibility and USB 2.0 fault resilience at the expense of slightly higher RON.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX4907ELA+?
The MAX4907ELA+ supports analog signals from 0V to V+ (i.e., 0V to +3.6V) when operating in normal mode (SHDN = low). In shutdown mode (SHDN = high), the usable analog range is reduced to 0V to +1.5V. This limitation ensures safe operation under low-quiescent-current conditions while preserving basic functionality for fast wake-up sequences. The MAX4907ELA+ maintains bidirectional signal flow across all valid voltage ranges.
Does the MAX4907ELA+ provide +5.5V fault protection on its COM pins?
No, the MAX4907ELA+ does not include +5.5V fault protection. That feature is exclusive to the MAX4907FELA+ variant. The MAX4907ELA+ is rated for COM pin voltages up to +5.5V under absolute maximum conditions but lacks the integrated fault-protection circuitry that actively clamps and isolates during overvoltage events. For USB applications requiring certified fault resilience, the MAX4907FELA+ is the appropriate selection.
Can the MAX4907ELA+ be used in 10/100 Ethernet applications?
Yes, the MAX4907ELA+ is explicitly qualified for 10/100 Ethernet switching. Its 1GHz typical -3dB bandwidth, <100ps output skew, and >30dB off-isolation at 25MHz ensure clean baseband signal routing for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX differential pairs. Application diagrams in the MAX4907ELA+ datasheet confirm use cases such as PHY multiplexing in docking stations and embedded network interfaces where low RON and minimal capacitive loading are critical.
What is the logic threshold voltage for the IN and SHDN inputs of the MAX4907ELA+?
The MAX4907ELA+ specifies VIH = +1.1V (min) and VIL = +0.4V (max) for both IN and SHDN inputs, with 100mV of hysteresis. This design enables reliable operation with 1.4V, 1.8V, and 3.3V logic families. The low VIH threshold allows direct interfacing with low-voltage microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry, reducing system complexity and board area in portable USB devices.
How does the MAX4907ELA+ handle charge injection during switching?
The MAX4907ELA+ exhibits ≤5pC typical charge injection, measured at VCOM = 1.5V with CL = 100pF. This low value minimizes transient glitches on sensitive analog nodes-especially critical in high-resolution USB audio or precision sensor multiplexing. Charge injection remains stable across temperature and supply voltage, as confirmed by characterization curves in the MAX4907ELA+ datasheet, ensuring consistent performance in battery-powered and thermally variable environments.
