Product details
Overview
MAX4744ELB+TG104 from Maxim Integrated is a dual SPDT audio analog switch optimized for clickless speaker and signal routing in portable audio systems. It supports negative signal swing down to VCC − 5.5V, features 0.6Ω typical on-resistance, 0.1Ω channel-to-channel matching, and operates from a single +1.8V to +5.5V supply. It is used in cellular phones and MP3 players for distortion-free audio path switching.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4744ELB+TG104 datasheet, MAX4744ELB+TG104 pinout, MAX4744ELB+TG104 application, or MAX4744ELB+TG104 equivalent, key selection criteria include its negative rail capability (VCC − 5.5V), internal shunt resistors for pop suppression, break-before-make timing, THD of 0.01%, and µDFN-10 package compatibility with space-constrained handheld designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4744ELB+TG104 implements two independent SPDT switches controlled by separate CB1/CB2 logic inputs, enabling per-channel routing decisions without shared enable logic. Its BiCMOS process delivers low on-resistance flatness (0.55Ω max) across the full analog signal range (VCC − 5.5V to VCC) and tight channel matching (0.1Ω max).
It integrates shunt resistors on both NO1/NC1 and NO2/NC2 terminals to discharge floating node capacitance during state transitions-reducing audible click-and-pop in speaker paths. Break-before-make delay is specified at 20ns, and COM_ terminals tolerate signals down to VCC − 6V under normal operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 0.6Ω typical - ensures minimal insertion loss and thermal drift in audio signal paths |
| On-Resistance Matching (ΔRON) | 0.1Ω max - maintains balanced stereo channel performance and minimizes crosstalk-induced imaging errors |
| Analog Signal Range | VCC − 5.5V to VCC - enables true bipolar audio handling including sub-ground signals without clipping or distortion |
| Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) | 0.01% typical (20Hz–20kHz) - preserves high-fidelity audio integrity in consumer playback devices |
| Off-Isolation | −68dB typical at 100kHz - prevents leakage between inactive channels, critical for multi-source audio muxing |
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.8V to +5.5V - supports direct interfacing with Li-ion battery rails and mixed-voltage SoC I/O domains |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 55ns / 36ns typical - enables fast switching during dynamic audio source selection without transient artifacts |
Pinout & Package
MAX4744ELB+TG104 is housed in a 10-pin µDFN package (2mm × 2mm × 0.8mm, pkg code L1022-1), with exposed pad for thermal dissipation and space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CB1 | Digital control input for Switch 1 | Independent logic input selecting NC1 or NO1 connection to COM1; enables asymmetric channel control |
| 2 NO1 | Switch 1 normally open terminal | Audio path endpoint disconnected when unselected; internal shunt resistor discharges residual voltage to suppress pop |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return for analog and digital domains; must be low-impedance for THD and PSRR performance |
| 4 NO2 | Switch 2 normally open terminal | Second independent audio path endpoint; shares same shunt architecture as NO1 for matched pop suppression |
| 5 CB2 | Digital control input for Switch 2 | Independent logic input selecting NC2 or NO2 connection to COM2; allows fully decoupled dual-channel routing |
| 6 COM2 | Switch 2 common terminal | Primary audio output node for Switch 2; bidirectional-supports source or load connection |
| 7 NC2 | Switch 2 normally closed terminal | Default audio path endpoint; internal shunt resistor ensures rapid discharge when switched away |
| 8 VCC | Positive supply | Single power rail powering analog core and digital interface; accepts 1.8V–5.5V with rail-to-rail logic tolerance |
| 9 NC1 | Switch 1 normally closed terminal | Default audio path endpoint for Switch 1; matched RON and shunt behavior to NC2 for stereo symmetry |
| 10 COM1 | Switch 1 common terminal | Primary audio output node for Switch 1; electrically identical to COM2 for parallel dual-path implementation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Negative rail capability | Signals down to VCC − 5.5V pass undistorted - eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry in ground-referenced audio systems |
| Integrated shunt resistors | On all NO/NC terminals - automatically bleeds charge from floating nodes to prevent DC transients that cause audible clicks |
| Break-before-make switching | 20ns guaranteed delay - avoids momentary shorting between NC and NO paths, critical for clean speaker muting/unmuting |
| Low THD and high off-isolation | 0.01% THD and −68dB off-isolation - preserves signal fidelity and channel separation in multi-input audio architectures |
| Rail-to-rail digital inputs | CB1/CB2 accept 0V to +5.5V regardless of VCC - simplifies interface with mixed-voltage microcontrollers and codecs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPDT audio switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4744HELB+T | Single CB0 control bit + EN enable; shunt resistors on NO/NC; COM protection when VCC = 0V | Requires simplified control logic but adds system-level power sequencing awareness for robustness | Select when centralized switching control and zero-VCC COM protection are required over independent channel control |
| TS5A23157DCUR | 0.9Ω on-resistance; no integrated shunt resistors; −40°C to +85°C; 10-pin VSSOP | Lacks built-in click/pop suppression - requires external RC networks or firmware-controlled ramping | Select when board area permits larger VSSOP package and system-level pop mitigation is already implemented |
Compared with MAX4744HELB+T, MAX4744ELB+TG104 offers independent CB1/CB2 control for asymmetric routing but lacks COM protection at VCC = 0V; compared with TS5A23157DCUR, it delivers lower RON, integrated shunt resistors, and superior THD-making it preferable for high-fidelity portable audio where PCB area and pop suppression are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable analog signal voltage range for MAX4744ELB+TG104?
The MAX4744ELB+TG104 supports analog signals from VCC − 5.5V up to VCC. For example, with a +3.3V supply, signals from −2.2V to +3.3V pass undistorted. This negative rail capability eliminates external level-shifting components in ground-referenced audio circuits and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Analog Signal Range" with test conditions specifying VCC = +2.7V to +5.5V and TA = −40°C to +85°C.
Does MAX4744ELB+TG104 include internal shunt resistors, and how do they function?
Yes, MAX4744ELB+TG104 includes internal shunt resistors on all NO1, NC1, NO2, and NC2 terminals. These resistors automatically discharge capacitance at unconnected terminals during switching transitions, reducing voltage transients that cause audible click-and-pop in speakers. This feature is explicitly documented in the General Description and Features sections, and differentiates MAX4744ELB+TG104 from variants like MAX4745ELB+T which omit shunt resistors.
What is the on-resistance matching specification for MAX4744ELB+TG104, and why does it matter?
MAX4744ELB+TG104 guarantees ≤0.1Ω on-resistance matching (ΔRON) between its two SPDT switches under VCC = +2.7V and 100mA load conditions. This tight matching ensures balanced insertion loss and phase response across stereo channels-critical for maintaining left/right signal integrity in headphone amplifiers and audio codecs. The value is production-guaranteed per the Electrical Characteristics table and directly impacts THD and crosstalk performance.
Can MAX4744ELB+TG104 be used with a 1.8V supply, and what performance trade-offs occur?
Yes, MAX4744ELB+TG104 is fully specified down to +1.8V supply operation. At 1.8V, on-resistance increases to 1.0Ω (max) versus 0.95Ω (typ) at 3.3V, and turn-on time rises to ~600ns. However, THD remains at 0.01%, and negative rail capability extends to −3.7V (1.8V − 5.5V), preserving functionality in ultra-low-power designs. All parameters are validated across the full −40°C to +85°C range per the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables.
How does the break-before-make timing of MAX4744ELB+TG104 reduce audio artifacts?
MAX4744ELB+TG104 guarantees a 20ns break-before-make delay (tD), ensuring the previously connected path (e.g., NC1) opens fully before the new path (e.g., NO1) closes. This prevents momentary shorting between audio sources-such as connecting both a microphone and receiver to the same codec input-which would cause loud pops or DC glitches. The timing is measured under defined RL/CL conditions and contributes directly to its "clickless" qualification in handheld audio applications.
