Product details
Overview
The MAX4685EUB+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual SPDT analog switch IC designed for low-voltage signal routing in space-constrained portable systems, featuring 0.8Ω max on-resistance (NO/NC) at +2.7V, 50ns turn-on time, and rail-to-rail analog signal handling up to +5.5V supply. It operates across -40°C to +85°C and targets headset switching, audio routing, and battery-powered equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4685EUB+ datasheet, MAX4685EUB+ pinout, MAX4685EUB+ application, or MAX4685EUB+ equivalent, key selection criteria include verified RON matching (≤0.06Ω), THD of 0.03%, low leakage (±1nA at +25°C), break-before-make timing (2ns), and UCSP-compatible µMAX-10 package compatibility.
Technical Context
The MAX4685EUB+ implements two independent SPDT switches with symmetrical 0.8Ω max RON for both NO and NC paths at +2.7V, enabling balanced signal routing in bidirectional audio/video paths. Its 1.8V logic-compatible digital inputs accept VIH ≥1.4V and VIL ≤0.5V, supporting direct interfacing with low-voltage microcontrollers.
Break-before-make switching (tBBM = 2ns max) prevents signal shorting during state transitions, while low charge injection (200pC) and flat RON (≤0.35Ω) ensure minimal distortion in precision analog paths. Off-isolation (-64dB) and crosstalk (-68dB) at 100kHz support high-fidelity multi-channel routing without interference.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.8V to +5.5V single supply - supports Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2V) and 3.3V/1.8V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Max RON (NO/NC) | 0.8Ω at +2.7V - enables <10mV drop at 100mA load, critical for low-noise audio path integrity. |
| RON Match | ≤0.06Ω between channels - ensures matched gain/attenuation in differential or stereo signal pairs. |
| tON/tOFF | 50ns/40ns at +3V - allows sub-20MHz switching for fast multiplexing in data acquisition or comms circuits. |
| THD | 0.03% at 20Hz–20kHz - preserves audio fidelity in headset and MP3 player signal chains. |
| Off-Isolation | -64dB at 100kHz - blocks >99.8% of off-channel signal energy, preventing crosstalk in multi-source routing. |
| Leakage Current | ±1nA max at +25°C - minimizes DC error in high-impedance sensor or bias networks. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4685EUB+ uses the 10-pin µMAX® package (U10-2), measuring 3mm × 3mm with exposed pad (EP), optimized for thermal performance and PCB area efficiency in handheld devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1, IN2 | Digital control input | Active-high logic inputs controlling respective SPDT switches; 1.8V compatible, tolerate up to +5.5V. |
| COM1, COM2 | Analog common terminal | Bidirectional signal hub per switch - connects to source/sink depending on NO/NC state. |
| NO1, NO2 | Normally open analog terminal | Closed when corresponding IN is high; 0.8Ω RON path enables low-loss signal pass-through. |
| NC1, NC2 | Normally closed analog terminal | Closed when corresponding IN is low; identical 0.8Ω RON ensures symmetry vs. NO path. |
| V+ | Positive supply input | Accepts +1.8V to +5.5V; powers analog core and logic; must be applied before analog signals. |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for supply and analog signals; EP must be connected to GND for thermal stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals from GND to V+, eliminating clipping in full-supply-range audio or sensor interfaces. |
| Break-before-make switching | 2ns guaranteed delay prevents momentary shorting between NO and NC paths during transition. |
| Low THD (0.03%) | Preserves harmonic integrity in audio paths - suitable for headphone drivers and line-level routing. |
| 1.8V logic compatibility | Direct interface with ultra-low-power MCUs (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+) without external level shifters. |
| Low leakage (±1nA) | Enables use in high-impedance bias networks and precision instrumentation front-ends without offset drift. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4684EUB+ | Asymmetrical RON: 0.5Ω (NC), 0.8Ω (NO) - optimized for unbalanced loads like speaker/headset combos. | Better suited for applications requiring different drive strengths on NC vs. NO paths (e.g., internal speaker + headset). | Select MAX4684EUB+ only if NC/NO asymmetry is required; MAX4685EUB+ provides matched RON for stereo or differential routing. |
| TMUX1574DRYR | Higher RON (1.5Ω typ), wider supply (1.08–5.5V), lower leakage (±0.5nA), but no UCSP/µMAX footprint. | Targeted at industrial ADC multiplexing where ultra-low leakage outweighs RON and size constraints. | Choose TMUX1574DRYR for sub-nA leakage needs or 1.08V operation; MAX4685EUB+ remains optimal for portable audio size/performance balance. |
Compared with MAX4684EUB+, the MAX4685EUB+ delivers symmetrical RON for matched channel performance in stereo/audio applications, while TMUX1574DRYR trades higher RON for broader voltage range and lower leakage - making MAX4685EUB+ the preferred choice for space-constrained, low-distortion portable audio routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the MAX4685EUB+?
The MAX4685EUB+ has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+) of +6V, but its specified operating range is +1.8V to +5.5V. Operating beyond +5.5V risks permanent damage and violates the device's guaranteed electrical characteristics. For reliable long-term use in battery-powered systems, keep V+ within the 1.8–5.5V range, especially considering typical Li-ion voltages (3.0–4.2V).
Does the MAX4685EUB+ support rail-to-rail analog signal operation?
Yes, the MAX4685EUB+ supports rail-to-rail analog signal handling - signals on NO_, NC_, and COM_ pins can swing from GND to V+ without clipping or increased distortion. This capability is confirmed in the datasheet's "Analog Signal Range" specification (0 to V+) and validated by THD testing across the full range, making it ideal for DAC outputs and audio line drivers.
What is the guaranteed break-before-make timing for the MAX4685EUB+?
The MAX4685EUB+ guarantees a break-before-make delay (tBBM) of 2ns maximum, measured under +2.7V supply with 50Ω load and 35pF capacitance. This ensures no overlap between NO and NC conduction states during switching, preventing momentary shorts that could cause audible pops in audio paths or signal corruption in data lines.
Can the MAX4685EUB+ be used with 1.8V logic controllers?
Yes, the MAX4685EUB+ features 1.8V logic-compatible inputs: VIH is guaranteed ≥1.4V and VIL ≤0.5V over the full +2.7V to +3.3V supply range. This allows direct connection to 1.8V GPIOs without level-shifting circuitry, reducing BOM count and layout complexity in ultra-low-power portable designs.
What is the thermal requirement for soldering the MAX4685EUB+ µMAX package?
The MAX4685EUB+ µMAX package requires adherence to JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profiles, with preheating mandatory and peak temperatures not exceeding +260°C for ≤30 seconds. Hand or wave soldering is prohibited. The exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to a solid GND plane for thermal dissipation and mechanical reliability - failure to do so may cause overheating or solder joint fracture under thermal cycling.
