Product details
Overview
MAX4685EBC-T from Maxim Integrated is a dual single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) analog switch IC designed for low-voltage signal routing in portable electronics. It features 0.8Ω max on-resistance for both NO and NC paths at +2.7V, 50ns turn-on time, 40ns turn-off time, and operates from +1.8V to +5.5V. It is used in audio path switching for cellular phones and MP3 players where rail-to-rail signal handling and low THD (0.03%) are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4685EBC-T datasheet, MAX4685EBC-T pinout, MAX4685EBC-T application, or MAX4685EBC-T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 0.8Ω RON symmetry across both SPDT channels, 12-bump UCSP package footprint (2.0mm × 1.5mm), break-before-make timing (2ns), and 1.8V logic compatibility with 3.3V supply systems.
Technical Context
The MAX4685EBC-T implements two independent SPDT switches using BiCMOS process technology, each with matched NO/NC on-resistance (≤0.8Ω at +2.7V) and ≤0.06Ω RON match between channels. Its break-before-make architecture prevents signal shorting during state transitions, with tBBM = 2ns typical.
It supports bidirectional analog signal routing from GND to V+, maintains <0.35Ω RON flatness over full signal range, and delivers -64dB off-isolation and -68dB crosstalk at 100kHz - enabling clean audio and communication signal switching without channel interference.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (NO/NC) | 0.8Ω max at +2.7V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in battery-powered audio paths |
| RON Match (Channel-to-Channel) | 0.06Ω max - enables precise differential signal routing and balanced switching in stereo applications |
| Turn-On / Turn-Off Time | 50ns / 40ns at +3V - supports fast multiplexing in digital audio interfaces and modem signal routing |
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.8V to +5.5V - compatible with Li-ion, coin-cell, and 3.3V system rails without level-shifting |
| Logic Input Compatibility | 1.8V logic with VIH = 1.4V, VIL = 0.5V - interoperable with baseband processors and low-power MCUs |
| THD + Noise | 0.03% at 20Hz–20kHz - preserves fidelity in headset and speaker switching without audible distortion |
| Off-Isolation / Crosstalk | -64dB / -68dB at 100kHz - prevents leakage between active and inactive audio/video channels |
Pinout & Package
MAX4685EBC-T uses a 12-bump, 0.5mm-pitch wafer-level chip-scale package (UCSP) measuring 2.0mm × 1.5mm. The package has no leads; solder bumps form direct interconnects to PCB pads per JEDEC-standard layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| NC1, NC2 | Normally Closed Analog Terminal | Direct connection to COMx when INx = low; 0.8Ω max RON path for default signal routing |
| NO1, NO2 | Normally Open Analog Terminal | Connection to COMx only when INx = high; identical 0.8Ω max RON as NC path for symmetrical design |
| COM1, COM2 | Common Analog Terminal | Bidirectional I/O node shared between NOx and NCx; handles rail-to-rail signals (GND to V+) |
| IN1, IN2 | Digital Control Input | Active-high logic input; 1.8V-compatible, accepts up to +5.5V regardless of V+ supply |
| V+ | Positive Supply Voltage | Single power rail input (+1.8V to +5.5V); powers internal switch matrix and control logic |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for analog signals and supply current; must be low-impedance for THD performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Symmetrical SPDT RON | 0.8Ω max for both NO and NC paths - eliminates channel imbalance in stereo audio routing |
| Break-Before-Make Timing | 2ns delay - prevents momentary short-circuit between NO and NC during switching in power routing |
| Rail-to-Rail Signal Handling | GND to V+ analog range - supports full-supply-swing audio and sensor signals without clipping |
| Ultra-Low Leakage | ±1nA max off-leakage at +25°C - avoids DC offset in precision sensor front-ends and battery monitoring |
| Low Charge Injection | 200pC max - minimizes glitch energy during switching in sample-and-hold and ADC input multiplexing |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4684EBC+T | Asymmetrical RON: 0.5Ω (NC) / 0.8Ω (NO) at +2.7V | Better suited for headset/speaker combo where NC path carries higher priority audio | Select MAX4684EBC+T if default path (NC) requires lower RON; MAX4685EBC-T preferred when channel matching is mandatory |
| TMUX1574RSVR | 0.5Ω RON, 10-pin WQFN, 1.8V–5.5V, but no guaranteed RON match spec | Larger 2.5mm × 2.5mm package; lacks UCSP footprint advantage | Choose TMUX1574RSVR only if board space allows larger package and RON matching is not required |
Compared with MAX4684EBC+T, MAX4685EBC-T provides superior channel-to-channel RON matching (0.06Ω vs unguaranteed), making it preferable for stereo audio; versus TMUX1574RSVR, MAX4685EBC-T offers 30% smaller PCB area and tighter parametric guarantees for portable designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for MAX4685EBC-T?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for MAX4685EBC-T is +6V, but the recommended operating range is +1.8V to +5.5V. Operation above +5.5V risks permanent damage, and the device is fully specified for 3V nominal systems. At +5.5V, supply current remains below 200nA, ensuring low power consumption in always-on circuits.
Does MAX4685EBC-T support bidirectional analog signal flow?
Yes, MAX4685EBC-T supports fully bidirectional analog signal routing on all COM, NO, and NC terminals. Signals can pass from COM to NO/NC or vice versa with identical 0.8Ω max on-resistance and <0.35Ω flatness, enabling flexible use in both source and load positions within audio and sensor signal chains.
What is the thermal limit for reflow soldering of MAX4685EBC-T's UCSP package?
MAX4685EBC-T's 12-bump UCSP requires strict adherence to JEDEC J-STD-020A reflow profiles: infrared peak temperature ≤+220°C (15s), vapor-phase peak ≤+215°C (60s). Hand or wave soldering is prohibited. Preheating is mandatory, and bump temperature must not exceed limits to avoid die attach voiding or solder joint fracture.
How does MAX4685EBC-T achieve 1.8V logic compatibility while powered from 3.3V?
MAX4685EBC-T accepts 1.8V logic inputs (VIH = 1.4V, VIL = 0.5V) regardless of V+ supply voltage. When V+ = 3.3V, the internal level-shifting circuitry interprets 1.4V as high and 0.5V as low - eliminating external translators and reducing BOM count in mixed-voltage SoC designs.
Is MAX4685EBC-T pin-compatible with MAX4684EBC+T?
Yes, MAX4685EBC-T and MAX4684EBC+T share identical 12-bump UCSP pinout, footprint, and terminal functions. Both use the same AAF/AAG top-mark coding scheme and operate across -40°C to +85°C. The only functional difference is RON asymmetry in MAX4684EBC+T versus symmetry in MAX4685EBC-T - no PCB changes are required for substitution.
