Product details
Overview
The MAX4992ELB+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) analog switch optimized for high-fidelity audio routing in portable devices, featuring 0.3Ω typical on-resistance, 0.004% THD+N, and 1.2µA typical supply current at +3V. It operates from a single +1.8V to +5.5V supply and is designed for speaker/headset source switching where low distortion and minimal power consumption are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4992ELB+ datasheet, MAX4992ELB+ pinout, MAX4992ELB+ application, or MAX4992ELB+ equivalent, this device is selected for compact audio signal routing requiring low RON flatness (1mΩ), fast turn-off (≤2µs), and no slow-turn-on feature-distinguishing it from the MAX4991/MAX4993 variants.
Technical Context
The MAX4992ELB+ implements break-before-make switching with bidirectional analog signal paths across two independent SPDT channels. Its digital control uses rail-to-rail compatible CB1 and CB2 inputs, each directly selecting NO1/NC1 and NO2/NC2 states without enable logic or internal pull-ups.
Unlike the MAX4993/MAX4994, it lacks an active-low EN pin and slow turn-on circuitry-enabling microsecond-scale switching (tOFF = 0.5–2µs) while maintaining 80dB PSRR and ±100nA off-leakage over –40°C to +85°C. All analog terminals (NO_, NC_, COM_) support 0V to VCC signal swing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (RON) | 0.3Ω typical at VCC = +2.7V - ensures minimal insertion loss and voltage drop in audio paths. |
| THD+N | 0.004% at 20Hz–20kHz - preserves signal fidelity for high-resolution audio playback. |
| Supply current (ICC) | 1.2µA typical at +3V - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-powered MP3 players. |
| Turn-off time (tOFF) | 0.5–2µs - supports rapid channel switching without audible artifacts in multi-source systems. |
| Off-isolation | –90dB at 20kHz - prevents crosstalk between inactive and active audio paths. |
| Analog signal range | 0V to VCC - allows full-rail signal handling without clipping in single-supply amplifier interfaces. |
| Power supply range | +1.8V to +5.5V - compatible with Li-ion, Li-poly, and regulated 3.3V/5V rails in portable designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-pin UTQFN (1.4mm × 1.8mm × 0.55mm), RoHS-compliant, thermal resistance θJA = 143.1°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 1) | Positive supply input | Bypass with 0.1µF capacitor near pin to suppress supply noise affecting RON stability. |
| NO1 (Pin 2) | Switch 1 normally open terminal | Connects to COM1 when CB1 = 1; used for alternate audio source selection (e.g., headset vs. speaker). |
| COM1 (Pin 3) | Switch 1 common terminal | Primary output node; must interface directly with speaker load for optimal impedance matching. |
| CB1 (Pin 4) | Digital control input for Switch 1 | CMOS-compatible; drives NO1/NC1 state; rail-to-rail operation minimizes ICC increase. |
| NC1 (Pin 5) | Switch 1 normally closed terminal | Connected to COM1 when CB1 = 0; provides default path during power-up or control reset. |
| GND (Pin 6) | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for analog and digital currents; separate grounding improves THD+N. |
| NC2 (Pin 7) | Switch 2 normally closed terminal | Default path for second audio channel; paired with COM2 and NO2 for stereo routing. |
| CB2 (Pin 8) | Digital control input for Switch 2 | Independent of CB1; enables asynchronous switching of left/right audio paths. |
| COM2 (Pin 9) | Switch 2 common terminal | Stereo counterpart to COM1; requires identical load connection for balanced click-pop suppression. |
| NO2 (Pin 10) | Switch 2 normally open terminal | Second audio source node; toggled with CB2 to route auxiliary input (e.g., Bluetooth receiver). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent SPDT topology | Enables simultaneous stereo source switching without shared control logic or timing constraints. |
| 0.3Ω typical on-resistance | Reduces power loss and thermal drift in 16Ω speaker loads, preserving amplifier efficiency. |
| 1mΩ RON flatness | Maintains consistent gain across full audio bandwidth, eliminating frequency-dependent distortion. |
| 80dB PSRR | Rejects supply ripple-induced modulation, critical for clean output with noisy DC-DC converters. |
| ±100nA off-leakage current | Prevents DC bias shift in coupling-capacitor-based amplifier outputs, avoiding pop transients. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4991ELB+ | Includes slow turn-on circuitry (tON ≈ 360ms); identical pinout and RON/THD+N specs. | Required where click-and-pop suppression is mandatory in DC-biased amplifier architectures. | Select MAX4991ELB+ only if system-level testing confirms audible pop without slow turn-on; otherwise MAX4992ELB+ offers faster switching. |
| TMUX1574RSVR | 0.5Ω RON, 0.006% THD+N, 10-pin UQFN, but lacks guaranteed –40°C to +85°C operation and has higher 2.5µA ICC. | Suitable for commercial-temperature consumer audio, not industrial or automotive environments. | Choose TMUX1574RSVR only for cost-sensitive designs where extended temperature range and sub-2µA ICC are noncritical. |
Compared with MAX4991ELB+, the MAX4992ELB+ trades slow turn-on for microsecond switching-ideal for dynamic routing; versus TMUX1574RSVR, it delivers lower RON, tighter THD+N, and guaranteed extended-temp performance at marginally higher unit cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX4992ELB+?
The MAX4992ELB+ supports analog signals from 0V to VCC across all terminals (NO_, NC_, COM_), enabling full-rail operation with single-supply audio amplifiers. This range holds for VCC between +1.8V and +5.5V, and is validated over the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range per the official datasheet specifications.
Does the MAX4992ELB+ include an enable pin like the MAX4993/MAX4994?
No, the MAX4992ELB+ does not have an enable (EN) pin. It uses two independent digital control inputs-CB1 and CB2-to operate its dual SPDT switches. In contrast, the MAX4993/MAX4994 integrate an active-low EN pin that places all channels in high-impedance state when driven high, a feature absent in the MAX4992ELB+ design.
What is the typical on-resistance flatness of the MAX4992ELB+, and why does it matter for audio performance?
The MAX4992ELB+ specifies 1mΩ on-resistance flatness-the difference between max and min RON over the full 0V to VCC analog input range. This tight flatness ensures uniform gain across the entire audio band (20Hz–20kHz), preventing frequency-dependent distortion and preserving tonal accuracy in high-fidelity playback systems.
Can the MAX4992ELB+ be used in place of the MAX4991ELB+ without layout changes?
Yes, the MAX4992ELB+ is pin-compatible with the MAX4991ELB+ in the same 10-pin UTQFN package, sharing identical pin functions and footprint. However, the MAX4992ELB+ lacks slow turn-on circuitry-so systems relying on that feature for click-and-pop suppression will require firmware or external timing adjustments to avoid audible transients.
What is the off-isolation performance of the MAX4992ELB+, and how is it measured?
The MAX4992ELB+ delivers –90dB off-isolation at 20kHz, measured as 20log(VCOM/VNO or VNC) with RS = RL = 50Ω. This specification ensures strong rejection of unwanted signals from inactive paths, critical for preventing crosstalk between headset and speaker outputs in dual-source mobile audio systems.
