General Description
The MAX4740/MAX4740H low on-resistance (0.61Ω
typ) analog switches operate from a single 1.6V to 5.5V
supply. The MAX4740/MAX4740H are quad, singlepole, double-throw (SPDT) switches and are configured
to route audio signals. The MAX4740/MAX4740H are
pin-to-pin compatible parts with the ST Microelectronics
quad SPDT STG3699 analog switch.
The MAX4740 is a quad SPDT switch and the
MAX4740H is a quad SPDT switch that can be placed
in a high-impedance mode. Switching logic is controlled by 2 control bits (CB1 and CB2). The MAX4740/
MAX4740H also feature a low on-resistance match
(0.06Ω) and low power-supply current (0.3µA), which
increases battery life.
The MAX4740/MAX4740H are available in a tiny 3mm x
3mm, 16-pin TQFN-EP, and 2.5mm x 2.5mm, 16-pin ultrathin QFN packages.

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.
