Product details
Overview
MAX4947EBA+T from Maxim Integrated is a hex single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) analog switch IC designed for high-speed data routing in portable digital systems. It operates from a single +1.8V to +5.5V supply, delivers 4Ω typical on-resistance, 30pF typical off-capacitance, and supports rail-to-rail signal switching - enabling clean SDIO, UART, and USB signal path management in space-constrained handheld devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4947EBA+T datasheet, MAX4947EBA+T pinout, MAX4947EBA+T application, or MAX4947EBA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 25-bump UCSP (2.5mm × 2.5mm) package, EN/CB logic interface architecture, break-before-make timing (2ns), -70dB off-isolation at 1MHz, and guaranteed performance across -40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX4947EBA+T implements six independent SPDT switches controlled by a single digital control input (CB) and an active-low enable (EN). When EN = low, CB determines whether each COM_ terminal connects to NO_ (CB = high) or NC_ (CB = low); when EN = high, all switches enter high-impedance state regardless of CB level.
Its CMOS process ensures rail-to-rail analog signal handling (0V to VCC), bidirectional operation, and low charge injection (10pC typ). The device features matched on-resistance (ΔRON ≤ 0.6Ω), flat on-resistance over voltage range (RFLAT ≤ 1.2Ω), and high-frequency capability with 300MHz -3dB bandwidth and <0.2ns channel-to-channel skew.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.8V to +5.5V - supports direct interfacing with 1.8V, 2.7V, 3.3V, and 5V logic and analog domains without level shifting. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 4Ω typical at VCC = 2.7V - minimizes signal attenuation and voltage drop in high-current data paths like SDIO DAT lines. |
| Off-Capacitance (CNO/OFF) | 15pF typical - preserves signal integrity and bandwidth in high-speed switching (e.g., USB 1.1 full-speed, UART up to 12Mbps). |
| Off-Isolation | -70dB at 1MHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive channels, critical for multiplexing shared buses like SDIO CMD/DAT. |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 400ns/300ns typical (VCC = 2.7V) - enables reliable switching within microsecond-scale control windows in host-controller-driven protocols. |
| Break-Before-Make | 2ns typical - prevents momentary short-circuits during state transitions, essential for glitch-free signal reconfiguration. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and consumer mobile applications including smartphones and PDAs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4947EBA+T is packaged in a 25-bump UCSP™ (2.5mm × 2.5mm) wafer-level chip-scale package with exposed paddle (EP) connected to GND. Pin mapping follows bump-side-down orientation per Maxim's UCSP layout standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (bumps 1, 6, 15, 23) | Ground reference | Four dedicated ground bumps minimize ground bounce and improve noise immunity in high-speed switching. |
| VCC (bump 22) | Positive supply | Single-supply input requiring local 0.1µF bypass capacitor to suppress switching transients. |
| EN (bump 5) | Enable control | Active-low global enable: high = all switches open (Hi-Z); low = CB functional for channel selection. |
| CB (bump 14) | Digital control | Single logic input determining COM→NO (CB = high) or COM→NC (CB = low) for all six SPDTs. |
| COM1–COM6 (bumps 20, 16, 11, 7, 3, 23) | Analog common terminals | Bidirectional ports - may serve as inputs or outputs depending on system signal flow direction. |
| NO1–NO6 / NC1–NC6 (bumps 19, 17, 10, 8, 2, 24 and 18, 15, 12, 9, 4, 1) | Normally-open / Normally-closed terminals | Fixed-function analog I/O pins; NC_ and NO_ are not interchangeable - routing must match truth table behavior. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals from 0V to VCC without clipping - enables seamless integration with 1.8V/3.3V SDIO, UART, and USB PHY layers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4948ERA+ | Same die, identical electrical specs and pinout - differs only in UCSP bump configuration (ERA+ uses 25-bump layout matching EBA+T). | No functional difference; ERA+ is Maxim's official orderable UCSP variant for MAX4948 family. | Select MAX4948ERA+ if sourcing from Maxim Direct or authorized distributors with full traceability; EBA+T is legacy marking for same device. |
| TMUX1574RSVR | 4Ω RON, 12pF CIO, but requires dual supplies (VCC/VDD) and lacks EN pin - uses single logic input with inverted control logic. | Not drop-in: different pinout, no enable function, and higher supply complexity limits use in battery-powered SDIO systems. | Prefer MAX4947EBA+T for single-supply, EN-controlled, space-constrained designs; TMUX1574 suits fixed-rail industrial systems needing lower capacitance. |
Compared with MAX4948ERA+, MAX4947EBA+T offers identical functionality and UCSP footprint - the part number reflects historical Maxim marking convention rather than technical divergence. Against TMUX1574RSVR, MAX4947EBA+T provides integrated enable control, simpler power architecture, and proven SDIO/Memory Stick interoperability per Maxim's application notes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by MAX4947EBA+T?
The MAX4947EBA+T has a -3dB bandwidth of 300MHz, verified under 50Ω source/load conditions with 5pF load capacitance. This enables reliable operation in full-speed USB 1.1 (12Mbps), SDIO (up to 50MHz), and UART (up to 2.5Mbps) applications. Bandwidth is limited by on-capacitance and on-resistance interaction; actual usable frequency depends on PCB layout and signal termination.
Does MAX4947EBA+T support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, MAX4947EBA+T supports fully bidirectional analog signal routing. Its CMOS transmission-gate architecture allows NO_, NC_, and COM_ terminals to function interchangeably as inputs or outputs - essential for protocols like SDIO and USB where data direction changes dynamically. No external biasing or direction-control logic is required.
How does the EN pin affect switching behavior in MAX4947EBA+T?
In MAX4947EBA+T, the EN pin is active-low: when EN = high, all six SPDT switches enter high-impedance state regardless of CB logic level, effectively disconnecting all signal paths. When EN = low, CB controls switching state (COM→NO or COM→NC). This enables safe hot-plug isolation and power-aware routing in battery-operated devices.
What is the thermal performance of MAX4947EBA+T in its UCSP package?
The MAX4947EBA+T in 25-bump UCSP (2.5mm × 2.5mm) has a power dissipation limit of 976mW at TA = +70°C, derating by 12.2mW/°C above that temperature. Junction-to-board thermal resistance (ψJB) is optimized via the exposed paddle (EP), which must be soldered to a solid GND plane. Under typical SDIO switching loads (<10mA per channel), junction temperature rise remains below 15°C.
Can MAX4947EBA+T replace MAX4948ETG+ in a design?
No - MAX4947EBA+T and MAX4948ETG+ are not pin-compatible. MAX4947EBA+T uses a 25-bump UCSP package with specific bump layout, while MAX4948ETG+ uses a 24-pin TQFN-EP. Though electrically identical, their footprints, soldering profiles, and mechanical mounting differ significantly. Migration requires PCB redesign and requalification per JEDEC J-STD-020.
