General Description
The MAX14777 quad SPST switch supports analog
signals above and below the rails with a single 3.0V to
5.5V supply. The device features a selectable -15V/+35V
or -15V/+15V analog signal range for all switches. Each
switch has a separate control input to allow independent
switching, making the device an alternative to opto-relays
in applications that do not need galvanic isolation.
The IC features 10Ω (max) on-resistance, and 9mΩ (typ)
RON flatness, along with a low 50nA (max at +85°C) on-
leakage. For maximum signal integrity, the device keeps
this performance over the entire common-mode voltage
range. Each switch can carry up to 60mA (max) of con-
tinuous current in either direction.
The MAX14777 is available in a 20-pin (4mm x 4mm)
TQFN package and is specified over the -40°C to +105°C
temperature range.

Pin Conguration
Detailed Description
The MAX14777 quad SPST switch supports analog
signals above and below the rails with a single 3.0V to
5.5V supply. The device features up to -15V/+35V analog
signal range for all switches when pin SEL35 is high.
When pin SEL35 is low, the analog signal range reduces
to -15V/+15V signal range, also resulting in a lower VCC
supply current. SEL35 trades off high-side analog signal
range for supply current. Each switch has a separate con-
trol input to allow independent switching.
The MAX14777 features 10Ω (max) on-resistance, and
9mΩ (typ) RON flatness, along with a 50nA (max at
+85°C) on-leakage. For maximum signal integrity, the IC
keeps this performance over the entire common-mode
voltage range. Each switch can carry up to 60mA (max)
of continuous current in either direction.
Integrated Bias Generation
The MAX14777 contains a total of three charge pumps to
generate bias voltages for the internal switches: a 5V reg-
ulated charge pump, a positive high-voltage charge pump
(VP), and a negative high-voltage charge pump (VN).
When VCC is above 4.75V (typ), the 5V charge pump is
bypassed and VCC provides the input for the high-voltage
charge pumps, reducing overall supply current.
The voltage at VN is always -16V (typ); however, the
MAX14777 features a pin-selectable (SEL35) voltage-
high range for the analog signal. When the SEL35 input is
low, the voltage on VP is +26V (typ) and the analog signal
range is -15V/+15V. When the SEL35 input is high, the
voltage on VP is +46V (typ) and the analog signal range
is extended to -15V/+35V.
An external 10nF capacitor is required for each high-
voltage charge pump between VP/VN and GND. Use a
50V-rated capacitor on VN. On VP use a 50V capacitor
if SEL35 = low or use a 100V capacitor if SEL35 = high.
Never use VP or VN to power external circuitry.
Analog Signal Levels
The MAX14777 transmits signals above and below the
rails with a single 3.0V to 5.5V supply due to its integrated
bias circuitry. The analog signal range is pin selectable
using the SEL35 input. Drive SEL35 low to switch signals
between -15V and +15V. Drive SEL35 high to switch
signals between -15V and +35V.
Setting SEL35 low reduces both turn-on delay and VCC
supply current.
The MAX14777 features 10Ω (max) on-resistance and
9mΩ (typ) RON flatness for analog signals between -15V
and +35V. The current flow through the switches can be
bidirectional.

Pin Description (continued)
VL Supply Logic Input
The MAX14777 features a separate logic supply input
(VL) that sets the high and low thresholds for the logic
inputs (EN_ and SEL35). This feature allows flexibility in
interfacing to controllers that have a different logic level
than VCC. Connect VL to a voltage between 1.62V and
5.5V for normal operation.
Applications Information
Non-Powered Condition
To understand the behavior of the MAX14777 when not
powered (i.e. VCC = 0V), both the transient and DC signal
conditions should be considered. Every A_ and B_ pin
has internal diodes to VP and VN, as shown in Figure 8.
Applying a positive voltage on A_ or B_ charges the VP
capacitor through the diode to VP. Applying a negative
voltage on A_ or B_ charges the VN capacitor negative
through the diode to VN. Switch terminals A_, B_ are tol-
erant to high-voltage signals ranging from -15V to +35V
when device is unpowered; i.e, VCC = 0 or VCC floating.
Once the capacitor is charged to a DC voltage, the
IL_IO_OFF current flows. Thus, under transient conditions,
applying a changing voltage to an A_ or B_ pin results in
flow into or out of the pin due to a charge movement at
the external capacitors on VP and VN.
Under DC conditions, when a voltage is applied to an A_
or B_ pin, with VCC unpowered, the switch is open when
the voltage difference between the A_and B_ pin is larger
than 3V. Under these conditions, DC leakage current
flows into the pin. When |VA - VB| < 3V DC, the switch
is not fully open, and currents up to a few mA can flow
between A_ and B_.
If SEL35 is connected low, the VP capacitor charges to
about 25V. Applying a positive voltage above about 25V
on A_ or B_ charges the VP capacitor through the diode
to VP. Once the VP capacitor is charged to this increased
voltage, current flow from A_ or B_ ceases. Thus, even
when SEL35 is low, any of A_ or B_ tolerate voltages up
to 35V.

Application Example
The MAX14777 can be used for designing an indus-
trial single-supply analog input module that supports both
±15V voltages and 4mA–20mA current measurements. In
this scheme, the MAX14777 switches in a 250Ω resistor,
typically used for translating the current-loop current to
a voltage for analog measurement, as shown in Figure
9. By using three of the four MAX14777 switches, which
provide accurate current and voltage measurement, the
device handles voltages up to 36V, as maximally found
in current-loop power supplies. In voltage measurement
mode, with switch positions as shown in Figure 9, analog
input voltages in the ±15V range are switched to the ampli-
fier input. Invert all switch positions for current loop mea-
surement operation.
When the analog input module is not powered, the
MAX14777 tolerates and protects the resistor and PGA
against voltages mistakenly connected to the AIN terminal.
