The MAX4713CUE from Maxim Integrated is a high-performance, single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) analog switch that operates from a single +1.8V to +5.5V supply. This versatile component is designed for precision analog signal switching applications where low voltage operation and low on-resistance are critical.
The MAX4713CUE features low on-resistance (RON) that is matched between channels to within 0.5 ohms (typ) and is flat (0.5 ohms max) over the specified signal range. This ensures excellent linearity and low signal distortion, making it an ideal choice for audio, video, and other high-frequency signal routing. The device's on-resistance is also very low, typically 4 ohms, which contributes to its high performance in terms of signal integrity.
Additionally, the MAX4713CUE offers a fast switching speed (tON = 20ns and tOFF = 10ns, typical), which is beneficial for applications that require rapid signal routing changes. This capability makes it suitable for multiplexing and signal gating in data acquisition systems, communication devices, and portable consumer electronics.
This analog switch also features a single digital control input that simplifies the interface to microprocessors and digital logic. The device's high off-isolation (-75dB at 1MHz, typical) and crosstalk suppression (-85dB at 1MHz, typical) ensure that signals are well-isolated when switched, preventing undesired signal coupling between the two channels.
The MAX4713CUE is available in a 16-pin TSSOP package, which is compact and suitable for space-constrained applications. It also features an extended operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, making it reliable for use in a variety of environments.
With its combination of low-voltage operation, low on-resistance, fast switching speeds, and high off-isolation, the MAX4713CUE is an excellent choice for designers looking to optimize their analog signal routing with a dependable and efficient switch.
