What this switch is and where it fits
The MAX4641EUA+T is a dual single-pole single-throw normally-open analog switch from Maxim Integrated, built for routing low-level analog or digital signals with minimal loss. Each of the two independent switches connects a common terminal to a normally-open terminal when the control pin is driven high. The headline 4 ohm max on-resistance keeps signal attenuation low and thermal dissipation negligible in most signal-chain roles.
Key ratings and what they mean for your signal path
The 4 ohm max on-resistance is the key spec. Channel-to-channel matching is 200 milliohm. Crosstalk is -97 dB at 1 MHz. Charge injection is 2 pC. Switching times are 15 ns on and 8 ns off. Off-leakage is 250 pA max.
Package and handling
The Tape & Reel suffix (-T) means it ships on a reel. Cut Tape and Digi-Reel options are also listed.
Sourcing and lifecycle reality
That makes it safe to specify into new designs without obsolescence risk for the foreseeable future. It is ROHS3 compliant, so no exemption expiry to track.
