Product details
Overview
MAX4688EBT-T from Maxim Integrated is a single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) analog switch with break-before-make switching action, 2.5Ω max on-resistance at +3V supply, 30ns max turn-on time, and rail-to-rail signal handling - used for audio/video routing and power path selection in portable battery-operated equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4688EBT-T datasheet, MAX4688EBT-T pinout, MAX4688EBT-T application, or MAX4688EBT-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, UCSP-6 package layout, SPDT functional behavior, leakage performance down to ±1nA, and real-world selection guidance against comparable low-voltage analog switches.
Technical Context
The MAX4688EBT-T implements complementary MOSFET-based SPDT switching with guaranteed break-before-make timing (≤2ns), enabling safe channel isolation during signal path reconfiguration. Its digital control input accepts 1.8V logic levels when powered from +2.7V to +3.3V, and supports rail-to-rail analog signals from GND to V+.
On-resistance flatness is limited to 1Ω max over the full signal range, and RON matching between NO and NC paths is specified at 0.4Ω max - critical for precision multiplexing and balanced signal routing in communications circuits and audio interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.8V to +5.5V single supply - enables direct integration into 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V systems without level-shifting. |
| Max On-Resistance (RON) | 2.5Ω at +3V - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation in low-level analog paths. |
| RON Matching | 0.4Ω max between NO and NC channels - preserves signal symmetry in differential or dual-path applications. |
| Turn-On / Turn-Off Time | 30ns / 12ns max - supports high-speed signal routing in MP3 players and PCMCIA card switching. |
| Off-Isolation | −90dB at 100kHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive and active signal paths in audio/video routing. |
| Charge Injection | 40pC max - limits transient glitches during switching in precision sensor or DAC output multiplexing. |
| Logic Compatibility | 1.8V logic inputs with VIH = 1.4V, VIL = 0.5V - interoperable with modern low-voltage microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4688EBT-T is housed in a 6-bump chip-scale package (UCSP-6) measuring 1.50mm × 1.02mm with 0.5mm bump pitch. The package uses wafer-level packaging technology and requires JEDEC-compliant reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| B1 | V+ | Positive supply input - must be applied before analog signals to prevent latch-up or ESD damage. |
| B2 | IN | Digital control input - active-high logic controls SPDT state; compatible with 1.8V–5.5V logic swing. |
| B3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - shared return for supply and signal paths; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
| A1 | NO | Normally open analog terminal - connects to COM only when IN = high; used for primary signal path selection. |
| A2 | I.C. | Internally connected bump - not externally accessible; no PCB trace or solder pad required. |
| A3 | COM | Common analog terminal - bidirectional I/O node; routes signal to either NO or NC depending on IN state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed ≤2ns interval prevents momentary shorting between NO and NC paths during transition - essential for relay replacement and power routing. |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports signals from GND to V+ across full temperature range - eliminates clipping in audio, video, and sensor front-ends. |
| Low off-leakage current | ±1nA max at +25°C - maintains signal integrity in high-impedance circuits like battery monitoring or medical sensor interfaces. |
| High off-isolation & low crosstalk | −90dB off-isolation and −95dB crosstalk at 100kHz - enables clean multi-channel audio routing without audible artifacts. |
| Ultra-small UCSP-6 footprint | 1.50mm × 1.02mm area - reduces PCB space by >70% vs. comparable SC70 or SOT-23 packages, ideal for cellular phones and wearables. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TMUX1574DSGR | 4.5Ω max RON at 3V; no guaranteed break-before-make; 1.2mm × 1.2mm DSG package. | Higher RON increases insertion loss in audio paths; lacks BBM timing guarantee for safety-critical power routing. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for sub-3Ω RON or BBM assurance. |
| ADG884BRMZ-REEL7 | 0.5Ω max RON at 3V; 10ns tON; MSOP-10 package (3mm × 3mm); no BBM specification. | Lower RON benefits precision instrumentation; larger footprint limits use in ultra-compact designs like cellular phones. | Select for highest signal fidelity where board space permits larger package. |
Compared with TMUX1574DSGR and ADG884BRMZ-REEL7, the MAX4688EBT-T uniquely combines guaranteed break-before-make timing, 2.5Ω RON, and 1.50mm × 1.02mm UCSP-6 size - making it optimal for space-constrained, safety-aware analog routing in portable electronics.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed break-before-make timing for MAX4688EBT-T?
The MAX4688EBT-T guarantees a break-before-make interval of ≤2ns at +25°C and V+ = +3V, as measured per Figure 3 in the official datasheet. This timing ensures no overlap between NO and NC conduction states during switching transitions, preventing short-circuits in power routing or signal multiplexing applications. The MAX4688EBT-T is the only member of the MAX4686/87/88 family with this guaranteed feature.
Does MAX4688EBT-T support rail-to-rail analog signals?
Yes, the MAX4688EBT-T supports rail-to-rail analog signals from GND to V+, with minimal RON variation across the full range - confirmed by the "On-Resistance vs. VCOM" curves (toc02–toc04) in the datasheet. At V+ = +3V, RON remains within 2.5Ω max from 0V to 3V, enabling distortion-free audio and video signal routing without external biasing. This capability is intrinsic to the MAX4688EBT-T's CMOS architecture.
What is the maximum allowable analog signal voltage on NO, NC, or COM pins of MAX4688EBT-T?
The absolute maximum analog signal voltage on NO, NC, or COM pins is (V+ + 0.3V), per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. For example, with V+ = +3.3V, signals up to +3.6V are permitted. Signals exceeding V+ are clamped by internal diodes, but forward current must be limited to ≤20mA to avoid damage. This limit applies directly to the MAX4688EBT-T and is independent of logic input voltage.
Can MAX4688EBT-T be driven by 1.8V logic while operating from a 3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX4688EBT-T accepts 1.8V logic inputs when powered from +2.7V to +3.3V, with VIH = +1.4V (min) and VIL = +0.5V (max) specified over temperature. This allows direct interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers without level shifters. The logic threshold remains stable across V+ variations, as shown in Figure toc05 - a key design feature of the MAX4688EBT-T.
What is the thermal limitation for reflow soldering of MAX4688EBT-T's UCSP-6 package?
The MAX4688EBT-T UCSP-6 package must be soldered using JEDEC J-STD-020A-compliant reflow profiles only, with peak temperature ≤+235°C and mandatory preheating. Hand soldering and wave soldering are explicitly prohibited per the datasheet. Exceeding these thermal limits risks delamination or bump fracture - a constraint specific to the MAX4688EBT-T's wafer-level construction and not applicable to leaded packages.
