MAX4700CPE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4700CPE is a dual SPST CMOS analog switch in a 16-pin Plastic DIP package. It features a maximum on-resistance of 1.25Ω with guaranteed matching of 0.3Ω and flatness of 0.3Ω over the signal range. The device supports +4.5V to +36V single-supply or ±4.5V to ±20V dual-supply operation, with TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs via a separate VL pin. It handles rail-to-rail analog signals, offers >2kV ESD protection, and includes break-before-make switching. Operating temperature is 0°C to +70°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in official documentation. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to ESD sensitivity. Check datasheet revisions for any updates to electrical characteristics or pin configurations before integration into final designs.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when low distortion and high precision are required in analog signal routing. The MAX4700 variant is specifically suited for applications requiring break-before-make timing to prevent signal overlap. Consider power supply constraints, as it operates from wide single or dual voltage ranges. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements based on the PDIP-16 package power rating.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX4700CPE belongs to the MAX4680/MAX4690/MAX4700 family of dual analog switches. While the MAX4680 provides two normally closed switches and the MAX4690 provides two normally open switches, the MAX4700 combines one normally open and one normally closed switch. This specific configuration enables unique switching behaviors not available in the other family members.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same family include the MAX4680CPE (two NC switches) and MAX4690CPE (two NO switches). Verify that the application does not require the specific break-before-make characteristic provided only by the MAX4700 variant when substituting with these alternatives.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers FAQ

What is the difference between the MAX4680, MAX4690, and MAX4700?

The MAX4680 contains two normally closed (NC) switches. The MAX4690 contains two normally open (NO) switches. The MAX4700 contains one normally open and one normally closed switch, and uniquely features guaranteed break-before-make switching.

Does the MAX4700 support rail-to-rail signal handling?

Yes, each switch in the MAX4700 can handle rail-to-rail analog signals across the specified supply voltage range.

How is logic compatibility maintained across different supply voltages?

A separate logic supply pin (VL) guarantees TTL/CMOS-logic compatibility while the device operates across its entire specified supply voltage range.
