MAX4736EGC+

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX4736EGC+ is a dual single-pole/double throw (SPDT) analog switch manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates from a single 1.6V to 4.2V supply and features low on-resistance of 0.6Ω typical at 3V, with 0.1Ω matching and 0.05Ω flatness. The device supports rail-to-rail analog signals, consumes less than 4μW quiescent power, and provides fast switching speeds with turn-on time of 25ns max and turn-off time of 20ns max. It includes break-before-make switching logic and is available in a 12-pin TQFN package.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Feature Summary

• Low on-resistance with high channel matching and flatness for minimal signal distortion
• Single-supply operation down to 1.6V with ultra-low quiescent power consumption
• Fast switching speeds with break-before-make functionality to prevent signal overlap

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EGC+' corresponds to the 12-pin TQFN package variant when sourcing components. Confirm that the ordering code matches the required temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Ensure compatibility with lead-free/RoHS-compliant packaging standards as indicated by the '+' designation in the manufacturer's ordering information table.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring bidirectional signal switching with minimal insertion loss. The 0.6Ω on-resistance at 3V supports high continuous currents up to ±300mA. Ensure the control logic voltage levels align with the 1.8V CMOS compatible inputs when operating from a 3V supply. Consider the 12-pin TQFN package dimensions for PCB layout constraints.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The MAX4736 belongs to a family of low-voltage analog switches designed for space-constrained portable electronics. It complements other Maxim Integrated switches by offering superior on-resistance flatness and lower charge injection compared to standard CMOS switches. The device is suitable for replacing mechanical relays in low-power signal path management applications.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same series include the MAX4736ETC+ and MAX4736ELB+. Verify package footprint differences between TQFN and μDFN variants if substituting across package types.
