Product details
Overview
MAX4684EUB+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual SPDT analog switch IC designed for low-voltage signal routing in portable audio and power management systems. It features 0.5Ω max NC on-resistance and 0.8Ω max NO on-resistance at +2.7V supply, 50ns turn-on time, rail-to-rail analog signal handling, and 1.8V logic-compatible digital inputs - enabling direct interface with modern low-power microcontrollers in headset switching and battery-operated equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4684EUB+T datasheet, MAX4684EUB+T pinout, MAX4684EUB+T application, or MAX4684EUB+T equivalent, key selection criteria include NC/NO RON asymmetry, UCSP vs. µMAX package trade-offs, break-before-make timing (2ns), leakage performance (<1nA @ +25°C), and compatibility with 1.8V–5.5V single-supply operation across industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The MAX4684EUB+T implements two independent SPDT switches with break-before-make architecture, ensuring no signal shorting during state transitions. Each switch supports bidirectional analog signal flow from GND to V+, with guaranteed RON flatness ≤0.15Ω over full signal range and RON matching ≤0.06Ω between channels.
Digital control uses CMOS-compatible IN_ inputs tolerant up to +5.5V regardless of V+ level, enabling mixed-voltage system interfacing. Internal ESD protection and rail-to-rail analog capability allow direct connection to audio codecs, DAC outputs, and battery rails without level-shifting circuitry.
Key Specifications

| NC RON (max) | 0.5Ω at +2.7V - enables low-loss connection for high-current paths like speaker drivers |
| NO RON (max) | 0.8Ω at +2.7V - optimized for lower-current signal routing such as microphone or auxiliary inputs |
| tON/tOFF | 50ns/40ns at +3V - supports fast multiplexing in real-time audio and data acquisition |
| Supply Range | +1.8V to +5.5V - operates directly from Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2V) or regulated 3.3V/1.8V rails |
| Leakage Current | ±1nA max at +25°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor or audio bias networks |
| Off-Isolation | -64dB at 100kHz - suppresses crosstalk between active and inactive audio channels |
| THD | 0.03% - maintains fidelity in line-level and headphone driver applications |
Pinout & Package
Packaged in a 10-pin µMAX® (U10-2) surface-mount package measuring 3mm × 3mm, the MAX4684EUB+T uses standard lead-frame construction with exposed pad (EP) connected to GND for thermal and electrical stability. Pin numbering follows JEDEC MS-012AC standard.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | V+ | Positive supply input - must be applied before analog signals to prevent latch-up |
| 2, 10 | NO1, NO2 | Normally open analog terminals - connect to secondary signal sources (e.g., external mic, second speaker) |
| 3, 9 | COM1, COM2 | Common analog terminals - tie to codec output, amplifier input, or shared battery rail |
| 4, 8 | IN1, IN2 | Digital control inputs - accept 1.8V logic thresholds (VIH = 1.4V, VIL = 0.5V) with ±5.5V tolerance |
| 5, 7 | NC1, NC2 | Normally closed analog terminals - default path for primary signals (e.g., internal speaker, main audio out) |
| 6 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be low-impedance and tied to EP for noise reduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asymmetrical RON (NC/NO) | 0.5Ω/0.8Ω max enables optimized current handling per path - e.g., NC for speaker load, NO for sensing |
| Rail-to-rail signal range | Supports full V+ to GND analog swing without clipping - critical for unbuffered audio and battery voltage monitoring |
| Break-before-make timing | 2ns guaranteed delay prevents momentary short-circuit during switching - essential for relay replacement safety |
| Low charge injection | 200pC max minimizes glitch-induced pop/click in audio paths during switching transitions |
| 1.8V logic compatibility | Direct interface with ultra-low-power MCUs (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+) without level shifters or pull-ups |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4685EUB+T | Symmetric 0.8Ω max RON for both NC and NO paths; identical timing, leakage, and package | Better suited for balanced dual-path applications (e.g., stereo channel swapping) where NC/NO asymmetry is unnecessary | Select MAX4685EUB+T when equal on-resistance simplifies layout and calibration - no PCB changes required |
| TMUX1574RTER | 0.5Ω max RON, 3.3V-only supply, 1.8V logic compatible, 12-pin WQFN (2mm × 2mm) | Smaller footprint but lacks UCSP/µMAX thermal performance; higher leakage (±5nA) | Choose TMUX1574RTER only if board space is constrained and 3.3V supply is fixed - verify thermal derating at 85°C |
Compared with MAX4684EUB+T, MAX4685EUB+T offers symmetric RON for simplified design in matched-path systems, while TMUX1574RTER trades supply flexibility and leakage performance for compact size - making MAX4684EUB+T optimal for asymmetric, battery-powered, wide-supply applications requiring minimal distortion and robust thermal behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for MAX4684EUB+T?
The MAX4684EUB+T supports ±300mA continuous current through its NO_, NC_, and COM_ terminals. This rating applies across the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and ensures reliable operation in speaker driver and power routing applications without thermal shutdown. Peak current capability reaches ±500mA at 10% duty cycle, supporting pulsed loads like flash LED drivers.
Does MAX4684EUB+T require external level-shifting for 1.8V GPIO control?
No, the MAX4684EUB+T does not require external level-shifting. Its digital inputs (IN1/IN2) are 1.8V logic-compatible with VIH = +1.4V and VIL = +0.5V, and tolerate voltages up to +5.5V regardless of V+ supply level. This allows direct connection to 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V microcontroller GPIOs without additional components - a key advantage in mixed-voltage portable designs.
How does the asymmetrical RON of MAX4684EUB+T benefit audio applications?
The MAX4684EUB+T's 0.5Ω max NC RON and 0.8Ω max NO RON at +2.7V enable optimized path selection: the lower-resistance NC path handles higher-current loads like internal speakers, while the NO path routes lower-current signals such as headset microphones or auxiliary inputs. This asymmetry reduces insertion loss mismatch and improves THD consistency across switched configurations in MAX4684EUB+T-based audio subsystems.
Can MAX4684EUB+T operate from a single 1.8V supply?
Yes, the MAX4684EUB+T is fully specified for operation from +1.8V to +5.5V single supply. At +1.8V, it maintains functional switching with guaranteed tON/tOFF and RON performance, enabling use in ultra-low-power devices powered by single-cell alkaline or lithium batteries. Logic thresholds scale accordingly (VIH = +0.9V, VIL = +0.3V), preserving noise margin.
What is the thermal limitation of the µMAX package used in MAX4684EUB+T?
The MAX4684EUB+T in 10-pin µMAX package has a continuous power dissipation limit of 444mW at +70°C, derating at 5.6mW/°C above that temperature. Its exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to a solid GND plane to achieve this rating. Without proper thermal land pattern, junction temperature rise may exceed safe limits under sustained 300mA load - always follow Maxim's U10-2 footprint guidelines in document 21-0061.
