MAX4713ESE+T

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4713ESE+T is a fault-protected, low-voltage quad single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch in a 16-pin Narrow SO package. It features two normally open and two normally closed switches with rail-to-rail signal handling. Operating from a single +2.7V to +11V supply or dual ±2.7V to ±5.5V supplies, it offers a maximum on-resistance of 25Ω at +25°C with a single supply. Turn-on time is typically 125ns and turn-off time is typically 80ns under standard test conditions.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Feature Summary

• Fault protection on NO_ and NC_ pins allows signals to exceed supply rails without excessive current draw.
• Rail-to-Rail signal handling capability ensures accurate transmission across the full supply range.
• Low on-resistance with guaranteed flatness over the specified signal range for minimal signal distortion.
• All switches automatically turn off when power is removed, ensuring safe isolation during power loss.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. The 'E' designation indicates an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Confirm that the '+T' suffix aligns with reel packaging requirements if applicable. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints as these devices are pin-compatible with industry-standard MAX39x series switches.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when fault protection on input terminals is required for low-voltage applications. The MAX4713 variant specifically provides a mix of two normally open and two normally closed channels. Verify that the logic thresholds meet system requirements, as they vary slightly between single and dual supply configurations. Ensure load currents do not exceed absolute maximum ratings during fault conditions.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX4711/MAX4712/MAX4713 family of fault-protected analog switches. While all three share similar electrical characteristics and pinouts, they differ in switch configuration: MAX4711 has four normally closed switches, MAX4712 has four normally open switches, and MAX4713 combines two of each. They are designed as drop-in replacements for non-fault-protected CMOS switches like the MAX391/392/393.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Pin-compatible with MAX391, MAX392, and MAX393. Note that only NO_ and NC_ pins are fault-protected; COM_ pins lack this feature and must be limited to supply voltages to prevent damage.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers FAQ

Are the COM_ pins fault-protected?

No, the COM_ pins are not fault-protected. If a voltage source connected to a COM_ pin exceeds the supply voltages, high currents may flow through internal ESD diodes, potentially damaging the device.

How does the device behave when power is removed?

When power is removed, all switches turn off. The fault protection remains active, allowing the NO_ or NC_ terminals to withstand up to ±12V while acting as a virtual open circuit.

What is the break-before-make time for the MAX4713?

For the MAX4713, the break-before-make time delay is typically 5ns with dual supplies and typically 30ns with a single +5V supply, depending on load resistance and capacitance.
