Key Featrues

Low On-Resistance (1.6Ω max): The MAX4677/MAX4678/MAX4679 quad analog switches feature a maximum on-resistance of 1.6Ω, ensuring minimal signal attenuation and power loss. This low resistance is particularly beneficial in applications requiring high signal integrity, such as audio signal routing and data acquisition systems, where maintaining signal strength is critical.
Rail-to-Rail Signal Handling: These switches can handle rail-to-rail analog signals, allowing them to operate with the full range of the supply voltage. This capability is essential for applications like ADC systems and communication systems, where the full dynamic range of the signal must be preserved without distortion or clipping.
High Bandwidth (66MHz): With a -3dB bandwidth of 66MHz, these switches are suitable for high-frequency applications, such as avionics and test equipment. The high bandwidth ensures that the switches can handle fast signal transitions without introducing significant delay or distortion, making them ideal for high-speed data transmission and signal processing.
Low Crosstalk (-84dB at 1MHz): The switches exhibit low crosstalk of -84dB at 1MHz, which minimizes interference between channels. This feature is crucial in multi-channel systems, such as PBX/PABX systems and communication systems, where signal isolation is necessary to prevent cross-channel interference and maintain signal clarity.
Wide Supply Voltage Range (Dual ±2.7V to ±5.5V or Single +2.7V to +11V): The switches support a wide range of supply voltages, making them versatile for various applications. This flexibility allows them to be used in both low-voltage and high-voltage systems, such as battery-powered devices and industrial equipment, without requiring additional voltage regulation components.

Applications

Automated Test Equipment: The MAX4679 is ideal for use in automated test equipment (ATE) due to its low on-resistance (1.6Ω max) and high reliability. Its ability to handle rail-to-rail analog signals and low power requirements make it a preferred solution over mechanical relays, ensuring precise signal routing and reduced board space in complex testing systems.
Audio-Signal Routing: The MAX4679 is well-suited for audio-signal routing applications, such as in mixers or audio interfaces. Its low distortion, high bandwidth (66MHz), and rail-to-rail signal handling capabilities ensure high-fidelity audio signal switching, making it ideal for professional audio equipment and communication systems.
Data Acquisition Systems: The MAX4679 is an excellent choice for data acquisition systems, where it can be used to switch multiple sensor inputs into a single ADC. Its low leakage current (0.1nA) and high channel-to-channel matching (0.3Ω max) ensure accurate and reliable signal acquisition in industrial and scientific environments.
Reed Relay Replacement: The MAX4679 is a reliable replacement for reed relays in applications such as avionics and PBX/PABX systems. Its low power consumption, compact TSSOP-16 package, and ability to handle rail-to-rail signals make it a robust and space-saving solution for switching high-frequency signals in communication and control systems.
