Maxim Integrated MAX4717EUB+T Analog Switch

The MAX4717EUB+T is a high-performance, single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) analog switch from Maxim Integrated, designed to deliver precision signal routing in a compact package. This analog switch is well-suited for applications that require low-distortion and low-power operation, such as audio signal routing, battery-powered devices, and portable consumer electronics.

Featuring a wide voltage range from 1.8V to 5.5V, the MAX4717EUB+T offers versatile compatibility with various power supplies, making it a flexible choice for diverse electronic systems. Its low on-resistance of just 0.5 ohms (typical) ensures minimal signal attenuation, while its on-resistance flatness of 0.1 ohms (typical) across the signal range guarantees consistent performance, essential for maintaining signal integrity in critical applications.

One of the standout features of the MAX4717EUB+T is its low power consumption, with a quiescent current of just 1µA (max), which is particularly beneficial for extending battery life in portable devices. Additionally, the device boasts fast switching speeds (tON = 30ns and tOFF = 20ns, typical), ensuring swift and responsive operation for time-sensitive signal routing tasks.

The MAX4717EUB+T is packaged in a compact, 10-pin µMAX package, which not only saves valuable board space but also enables a more streamlined design for space-constrained applications. It also features break-before-make switching, which prevents signal overlap during channel transitions, thereby reducing the risk of signal corruption.

For protection and reliability, the MAX4717EUB+T comes equipped with an extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range, making it robust enough to operate in harsh environments. Furthermore, its ESD protection exceeds 2000V Human Body Model, providing additional resilience against electrostatic discharges that could otherwise damage sensitive electronic components.

In summary, the MAX4717EUB+T from Maxim Integrated is a versatile and efficient solution for designers looking to optimize their analog signal routing with a switch that combines low on-resistance, fast switching speeds, and low power consumption in a space-saving package.
