Product details
Overview
MAX4852HETE+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual SPDT analog switch optimized for over-rail signal routing in USB 2.0 full-speed (12Mbps) and audio applications. It operates from a single +2V to +5.5V supply, delivers 3.5Ω/7Ω on-resistance, supports 135MHz –3dB bandwidth, and features high-impedance input behavior when signals exceed VCC. It is used in cellular phone USB/audio multiplexing where rail-to-rail signal integrity and low leakage are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4852HETE+ datasheet, MAX4852HETE+ pinout, MAX4852HETE+ application, or MAX4852HETE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include over-rail high-Z response, 1µA supply current, 0.1ns differential skew, 135MHz bandwidth, and TQFN-16 (3mm × 3mm) package compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4852HETE+ implements two independent SPDT switches with asymmetric on-resistance: 3.5Ω on one pole and 7Ω on the other-enabling optimized routing for differential pairs (e.g., USB D+/D–) and single-ended paths. Its over-rail handling operates in high-impedance mode above VCC, preventing signal distortion or latch-up during hot-plug events.
It uses CMOS process technology with 735 transistors and integrates no comparators-distinguishing it from MAX4850H/MAX4850 variants. Logic inputs are 1.8V-compatible and tolerate up to +5.5V regardless of VCC, supporting mixed-voltage system interfacing without level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | +2V to +5.5V - enables direct integration with Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2V), 3.3V, and 5V logic domains |
| On-Resistance | 3.5Ω / 7Ω - ensures minimal insertion loss for USB 2.0 full-speed (12Mbps) and audio signals |
| –3dB Bandwidth | 135MHz - supports clean switching of high-frequency data and wideband audio without attenuation |
| Supply Current | 10µA max at +85°C - enables always-on USB detection or audio path control in battery-powered devices |
| Differential Skew | 0.1ns typical - preserves USB D+/D– timing alignment to meet full-speed eye diagram requirements |
| Over-Rail Behavior | High-impedance input above VCC - prevents signal clipping or back-driving during hot-plug or bias voltage mismatch |
| Off-Leakage Current | ±10nA max - avoids DC offset accumulation in sensitive audio or sensor front-end paths |
Pinout & Package
MAX4852HETE+ is housed in a 16-pin Thin QFN (TQFN-EP) package measuring 3mm × 3mm × 0.8mm, with exposed paddle thermally and electrically connected to GND. The package supports high-density PCB layouts and efficient thermal dissipation in handheld devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1, IN2 | Digital control inputs | CMOS-compatible logic pins controlling SPDT state; accept 0–5.5V swing independent of VCC |
| COM1, COM2 | Common analog terminals | Bidirectional signal ports-connect to USB D+/D– or audio source; support rail-to-rail signal routing |
| NO1, NO2 | Normally open switch terminals | Connect to destination path (e.g., USB host port) when corresponding IN_ = HIGH |
| NC1, NC2 | Normally closed switch terminals | Connect to alternate path (e.g., USB device port or audio codec) when corresponding IN_ = LOW |
| VCC | Power supply | +2V to +5.5V analog/digital supply; requires local 0.01µF bypass capacitor |
| GND | Ground reference | Analog and digital ground; must be tied to exposed paddle for optimal noise immunity |
| N.C. (Pins 1,2,3,8,11,13) | No connection | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or grounded per layout best practices |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Over-rail high-impedance mode | Switch input goes Hi-Z when signal exceeds VCC, eliminating clamping diode conduction and protecting upstream sources |
| Asymmetric on-resistance | 3.5Ω/7Ω pairing allows matched impedance routing for differential signals while minimizing loss on single-ended paths |
| Ultra-low dynamic skew | 0.1ns typical skew between D+/D– paths ensures USB full-speed eye compliance and reduces bit error rate |
| Sub-1µA quiescent current | 1µA typical ICC enables persistent USB detect or audio mute functions without draining battery in standby |
| 135MHz bandwidth | Preserves signal integrity for 12Mbps USB data and 20kHz audio harmonics with <0.04% THD |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4852ETE+ | Same pinout and function but pass-through over-rail behavior (not high-Z); 1µA supply current identical | Suitable where over-voltage signals must pass unchanged rather than enter Hi-Z state | Select MAX4852ETE+ when preserving signal continuity above VCC is required; MAX4852HETE+ when isolation during over-rail conditions is critical |
| TMUX1574RSVR | 4-channel SPDT, 5Ω RON, 1.8V–5.5V supply, no over-rail Hi-Z mode, 15pF COFF | Lacks dedicated over-rail protection; higher capacitance limits USB 2.0 full-speed margin | Use TMUX1574RSVR only in non-USB applications where pin count flexibility outweighs over-rail safety needs |
Compared with MAX4852ETE+, MAX4852HETE+ adds fail-safe high-impedance response to over-rail events-critical for hot-plug robustness-while maintaining identical supply current and bandwidth. Against TMUX1574RSVR, it delivers superior USB timing margin via lower skew and off-capacitance, at the cost of channel count flexibility.

FAQ
What is the over-rail behavior of MAX4852HETE+ compared to MAX4852ETE+?
The MAX4852HETE+ enters a high-impedance state when input signals exceed VCC, blocking conduction and preventing back-driving. In contrast, MAX4852ETE+ passes over-rail signals through without distortion. This makes MAX4852HETE+ safer for hot-plug scenarios where voltage mismatches may occur, such as USB OTG connections. Both share identical pinout, supply current, and bandwidth specifications.
Does MAX4852HETE+ support USB 2.0 full-speed (12Mbps) signal routing?
Yes, MAX4852HETE+ supports USB 2.0 full-speed operation with guaranteed 0.1ns differential skew, 135MHz –3dB bandwidth, and 12pF NO_/NC_ off-capacitance-meeting USB-IF electrical compliance for D+/D– routing. Its 3.5Ω/7Ω on-resistance pair minimizes insertion loss, and its break-before-make timing prevents shorting during state transitions, making MAX4852HETE+ suitable for certified USB multiplexing in handheld devices.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by MAX4852HETE+?
MAX4852HETE+ supports analog signals from 0V to +5.5V-regardless of VCC level (which can be as low as +2V). When signals exceed VCC, the switch input transitions to high-impedance mode instead of clamping, preserving signal integrity and protecting upstream circuitry. This over-rail capability is confirmed across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and is a defining feature of the MAX4852HETE+ variant.
Can MAX4852HETE+ be used in audio applications requiring low THD?
Yes, MAX4852HETE+ achieves 0.04% total harmonic distortion (THD) across 20Hz–20kHz at 1V RMS with 600Ω load-validated in the official datasheet. Its low 3.5Ω/7Ω on-resistance, flat RON vs. voltage profile, and 50pF COM on-capacitance minimize nonlinearities and phase distortion. These characteristics make MAX4852HETE+ well-suited for high-fidelity audio path switching in smartphones, notebooks, and portable media players.
What package type and thermal considerations apply to MAX4852HETE+?
MAX4852HETE+ uses a 16-pin Thin QFN (TQFN-EP) package sized 3mm × 3mm × 0.8mm with an exposed paddle. The paddle must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance and EMI suppression. With 1667mW max power dissipation at +70°C and 20.8mW/°C derating above that, MAX4852HETE+ remains within safe junction limits (<+150°C) even under continuous 100mA switched current-provided proper PCB copper area and thermal vias are implemented.
