General Description
The MAX4706/MAX4707 single-pole/single-throw 
(SPST) switches operate from a single 1.8V to 5.5V supply. The MAX4706 is a normally closed (NC) switch and 
the MAX4707 is the normally open (NO) version. These 
switches provide 2Ω on-resistance (RON) and 0.6Ω 
RONflatness with a +2.7V supply. These devices typically consume only 0.02µA of quiescent current, making them suitable for use in low-power, portable 
applications. The MAX4706/MAX4707 feature low-leakage currents over the entire temperature range, 
TTL/CMOS-compatible digital logic, and excellent AC 
characteristics.
The MAX4706/MAX4707 are offered in small 5-pin and 
6-pin SC70 and 6-pin µDFN packages.

Detailed Description
The MAX4706/MAX4707 SPST switches operate from a 
single supply ranging from 1.8V to 5.5V. The MAX4706 
is a normally closed (NC) switch and the MAX4707 is 
the normally open (NO) version. These switches provide
3.5Ω on-resistance (RON) and 0.9Ω RONflatness with a 
+2.7V supply. These devices typically consume only
0.02µA of quiescent current, making them suitable for 
use in low-power, portable applications. The 
MAX4706/MAX4707 feature low-leakage currents over
the entire temperature range, TTL/CMOS-compatible 
digital logic, and excellent AC characteristics.
The MAX4706/MAX4707 are offered in small 5-pin and 
6-pin SC70 and 6-pin µDFN packages.
Applications Information
The MAX4706/MAX4707 operate from a single +1.8V to 
+5.5V supply. The MAX4706/MAX4707 accept bipolar 
input signals when V+ and GND are biased from bipolar 
supplies. For example, the switch accepts a 1V
P-P
input 
when V+ = 2V and GND = -2V. ESD-protection diodes 
are internally connected between each analog switch 
terminal and both V+ and GND. One of these diodes 
conducts if any analog signal is greater than V+ or less 
than GND (Figure 1). Virtually all analog leakage current 
is attributed to the ESD diodes. Each diode is biased by 
the analog signal and either V+ or GND. The ESD 
diodes’ leakage currents vary as the signal changes.
Power-Supply Sequencing and 
Overvoltage Protection
Caution: Do not exceed the absolute maximum 
ratings because stresses beyond the listed ratings 
may cause permanent damage to the device.
Proper power-supply sequencing is recommended for 
all CMOS devices. Always apply V+ before applying 
analog signals, especially if the analog signal is not 
current-limited.
