MAX4713CPE

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4713CPE is a quad, single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch featuring fault protection and rail-to-rail signal handling. It integrates two normally open and two normally closed switches within a 16-pin Plastic DIP package. The device operates from a single +2.7V to +11V supply or dual ±2.7V to ±5.5V supplies. On-resistance is typically 25Ω at +25°C with dual supplies, rising to 75Ω at +2.7V single supply. Switching times are less than 125ns for turn-on and 80ns for turn-off under standard conditions. Logic inputs are compatible with TTL and CMOS standards.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CPE' corresponds to the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and the 16-pin Plastic DIP package configuration. Confirm that the ordering information matches the manufacturer's current documentation, as component availability and manufacturing status may change over time. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints designed for standard DIP-16 packages.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when fault protection on NO_ and NC_ pins is required alongside low on-resistance. Verify that the COM_ pin connections remain within supply limits, as these terminals lack fault protection. Consider the break-before-make timing characteristics inherent to the MAX4713 architecture if switching between sources is necessary. Ensure logic thresholds align with the system's supply voltage levels.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX4713CPE belongs to the MAX4711/MAX4712/MAX4713 family of fault-protected, low-voltage analog switches. Unlike traditional switches, these devices utilize parallel FETs for low on-resistance while providing internal clamping during fault conditions. The MAX4713 variant specifically combines two normally open and two normally closed channels in a single package, offering mixed switching configurations.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The datasheet indicates pin compatibility with the MAX391, MAX392, and MAX393 series. These devices share identical pinouts but lack the fault-protection features of the MAX471x family. Direct replacement requires verifying that the application does not rely on the fault-clamping behavior provided by the MAX4713.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers FAQ

Are all pins on the MAX4713 fault-protected?

No, only the NO_ and NC_ pins are fault-protected. The COM_ pins act as normal CMOS switch terminals and are not protected against voltages exceeding the supply rails.

What is the maximum fault voltage allowed on the analog inputs?

The NO_ and NC_ pins can withstand fault voltages up to ±12V relative to ground, even when power is removed.

How does the MAX4713 handle break-before-make timing?

The MAX4713 includes a break-before-make interval where the previously closed channel opens before the new channel closes. This delay varies based on supply voltage and load conditions.
