General Description
The MAX4729/MAX4730 single-pole/double-throw
(SPDT) switches operate from a single supply ranging
from +1.8V to +5.5V. These switches provide low 3.5Ω
on-resistance (RON), as well as 0.45Ω RONflatness with
a +2.7V supply. These devices typically consume only
1nA of supply current, making them ideal for use in lowpower, portable applications. The MAX4729/MAX4730
feature low-leakage currents over the extended temperature range, TTL/CMOS-compatible digital logic, and
excellent AC characteristics.
The MAX4729/MAX4730 are available in small 6-pin
SC70 and 6-pin µDFN packages. The MAX4729/
MAX4730 are offered in three pinout configurations to
ease design. The MAX4729/MAX4730 are specified
over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Detailed Description
The MAX4729/MAX4730 single-pole/double-throw
(SPDT) switches operate from a single supply ranging
from +1.8V to +5.5V. These switches provide low 3.5Ω
on-resistance (RON), as well as 0.45Ω RONflatness with
a 2.7V supply. These devices typically consume only
1nA of supply current, making them suitable for use in
low-power, portable applications. The MAX4729/
MAX4730 feature low-leakage currents over the entire
temperature range, TTL/CMOS-compatible digital logic,
and excellent AC characteristics.
Applications Information
Digital Control Inputs
The MAX4729/MAX4730 logic inputs accept up to +5.5V,
regardless of supply voltage. For example, with a +3.3V
supply, IN can be driven low to GND and high to +5.5V,
allowing for mixing of logic levels in a system. With a 2.7V
to 3.6V power-supply voltage range, the logic thresholds
are set so V
IL
= 0.4V (max) and VIH= 2V (min).
Power-Supply Sequencing
and Overvoltage Protection
Caution: Do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings
because stresses beyond the listed ratings can 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.
