Product details
Overview
MAX4745HELB+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual SPDT audio switch IC with negative rail capability (VCOM down to VCC − 5.5V), 0.6Ω typical on-resistance, −68dB off-isolation at 100kHz, and integrated COM protection for VCC = 0V operation-designed for speaker switching and audio path routing in handheld devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4745HELB+ datasheet, MAX4745HELB+ pinout, MAX4745HELB+ application, or MAX4745HELB+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its single-supply 1.8V–5.5V operation, break-before-make timing (20ns), click/pop suppression architecture, and 10-pin µDFN (2mm × 2mm) package compatibility with space-constrained portable audio designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4745HELB+ implements a dual independent SPDT analog switch topology with bidirectional signal handling and rail-to-rail analog range from VCC − 5.5V to VCC. It uses BiCMOS process technology to achieve low on-resistance flatness (0.55Ω max) and tight channel-to-channel matching (0.1Ω max).
Unlike the MAX4744H/MAX4745H variants with shared CB0 control and EN enable, the MAX4745HELB+ retains the two-bit CB1/CB2 control scheme of the MAX4745 family but adds the VCC = 0V COM protection network found only in H-suffix parts-making it functionally distinct from non-H MAX4745 variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | +1.8V to +5.5V single supply-enables direct interface with Li-ion battery systems and 3.3V/5V logic without level shifters. |
| Analog Range | VCOM, VNO, VNC = VCC − 5.5V to VCC-supports true bipolar audio signals including sub-ground swing without clipping or distortion. |
| On-Resistance | 0.6Ω typical at VCC = 2.7V-minimizes insertion loss and thermal drift in high-fidelity audio paths. |
| Off-Isolation | −68dB typical at 100kHz-prevents audible crosstalk between active and inactive audio channels. |
| Break-Before-Make Delay | 20ns-ensures no momentary short between NC and NO paths during switching, critical for pop-free speaker routing. |
| COM Protection | Active when VCC < 0.5V-allows safe hot-plug of audio signals before power-up, preventing latch-up or ESD damage. |
| Total Harmonic Distortion | 0.01% typical (20Hz–20kHz)-meets high-fidelity requirements for MP3 players and notebook audio subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4745HELB+ is housed in a 10-pin µDFN package (2mm × 2mm × 0.8mm, pkg code L1022-1) with wettable flanks and exposed pad for thermal performance. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or laser etch in the top-left corner per JEDEC MO-229.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CB1 | Digital control input for Switch 1-driven high/low to select NC1 or NO1 connection to COM1. |
| 2 | NO1 | Normally open terminal of Switch 1-connects to COM1 only when CB1 = 1, used for alternate audio source routing. |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference-must be low-impedance and tied directly to system ground plane to minimize THD. |
| 4 | NO2 | Normally open terminal of Switch 2-provides second independent audio path selection synchronized with CB2. |
| 5 | CB2 | Digital control input for Switch 2-determines NO2/NC2 connection to COM2 independently of CB1. |
| 6 | COM2 | Common terminal of Switch 2-serves as bidirectional audio I/O node routed to either NO2 or NC2 based on CB2 state. |
| 7 | NC2 | Normally closed terminal of Switch 2-maintains default audio path to COM2 until CB2 asserts high. |
| 8 | VCC | Positive supply input-must be bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor near pin to suppress PSRR degradation. |
| 9 | NC1 | Normally closed terminal of Switch 1-provides default audio path to COM1 until CB1 asserts high. |
| 10 | COM1 | Common terminal of Switch 1-bidirectional node connecting to amplifier output or speaker driver stage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Negative rail capability | Supports analog signals down to VCC − 5.5V-enables seamless integration with op-amps and codecs operating below ground. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPDT audio switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4744HELB+ | Includes internal shunt resistors on NO/NC pins for automatic capacitance discharge; MAX4745HELB+ lacks shunts. | Preferred where click/pop suppression is mandatory (e.g., speaker switching); MAX4745HELB+ requires external RC networks. | Select MAX4744HELB+ if shunt-based pop suppression is required; MAX4745HELB+ offers identical COM protection and control logic. |
| TS5A23157DCUR | Lower on-resistance (0.55Ω typ) but no VCC = 0V COM protection; operates down to 1.65V supply. | Suitable for low-voltage portable designs without hot-plug requirements; lacks MAX4745HELB+'s −68dB off-isolation. | Choose TS5A23157DCUR for cost-sensitive 1.8V systems without VCC sequencing concerns; retain MAX4745HELB+ for robust industrial audio routing. |
Compared with MAX4744HELB+, the MAX4745HELB+ trades shunt-based click/pop suppression for identical COM protection and dual-bit control-making it optimal for firmware-controlled multi-source routing where external discharge is acceptable. Against TS5A23157DCUR, it delivers superior off-isolation and sequencing safety at the cost of slightly higher RON.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable analog signal voltage on COM1/COM2 for MAX4745HELB+ when VCC = 3.3V?
The MAX4745HELB+ supports analog signals from VCC − 5.5V to VCC on all COM, NO, and NC terminals. At VCC = 3.3V, this translates to −2.2V to +3.3V. Exceeding these limits risks forward-biasing internal clamping diodes and violating absolute maximum ratings-always ensure external signal sources respect this range to maintain 0.01% THD performance in the MAX4745HELB+.
Does MAX4745HELB+ support break-before-make timing, and what is its guaranteed value?
Yes, the MAX4745HELB+ guarantees a break-before-make delay time (tD) of 20ns under specified conditions (VCC = 2.7V, RL = 32Ω, CL = 35pF). This timing ensures the NC path opens fully before the NO path closes, eliminating transient shorts that cause audible pops-critical for speaker switching applications where the MAX4745HELB+ is deployed.
How does the COM protection feature of MAX4745HELB+ behave when VCC is ramping from 0V to nominal voltage?
The MAX4745HELB+ COM protection activates when VCC < 0.5V, limiting leakage current to ≤500nA even with +5.5V applied to COM pins. As VCC rises above 0.5V, protection deactivates and standard absolute maximum ratings apply. This behavior allows safe hot-plug of audio accessories before system power-up-a key reliability feature distinguishing the MAX4745HELB+ from non-H variants.
Can MAX4745HELB+ be used with 5V logic control signals while operating from a 1.8V supply?
Yes, the MAX4745HELB+ digital inputs (CB1, CB2) accept logic-high voltages up to +5.5V regardless of VCC level. When VCC = 1.8V, driving CB1/CB2 to 5V is permissible and does not damage the device-the internal input structure is overvoltage-tolerant. This simplifies interfacing with mixed-voltage systems and eliminates level-shifters in designs using the MAX4745HELB+.
What is the thermal resistance θJA of the MAX4745HELB+ in its 10-pin µDFN package?
The MAX4745HELB+ in the 10-pin µDFN (2mm × 2mm) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 248°C/W, calculated from its 403mW maximum power dissipation at TA = +70°C and 5mW/°C derating above that temperature. Proper PCB layout-including a solid thermal pad connected to ≥4 thermal vias-is essential to maintain junction temperature within −40°C to +85°C operating range for reliable MAX4745HELB+ operation.
