Product details
Overview
The MAX9892ERT+T from Maxim Integrated is a shunt-mode audio click-and-pop eliminator designed to suppress transient noise at amplifier startup/shutdown in portable headphone systems. It operates from 1.7V to 3.6V, features <1µA supply current, 0.3Ω typical switch on-resistance at 3.0V, adjustable turn-off delay (1ms–1000ms via external CSET), and interfaces directly with left/right amplifier outputs to ground during mute transitions. Used in smartphones and portable media players.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9892ERT+T datasheet, MAX9892ERT+T pinout, MAX9892ERT+T application, or MAX9892ERT+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed -40°C to +85°C operation, UCSP-6 package dimensions (1mm × 1.52mm × 0.6mm), input voltage tolerance down to VDD − 5.5V, 130ns turn-on time, and 35dB click-and-pop reduction with 30Ω series resistors.
Technical Context
The MAX9892ERT+T implements two independent low-impedance analog switches controlled by an active-low MUTE signal. During normal operation, switches remain open and introduce no signal path loading; during power transitions, they close to shunt amplifier output nodes to ground, preventing audible transients caused by DC-blocking capacitor discharge.
Turn-off timing is programmable via external capacitor (CSET) connected between SET and GND, enabling precise alignment with amplifier startup profiles. Input voltage range supports rail-to-rail audio swing relative to VDD (down to VDD − 5.5V), ensuring compatibility with common ±2V headphone signals when VDD is set between 2.0V and 3.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.7V to 3.6V - ensures compatibility with single-cell Li-ion and regulated system rails without level-shifting. |
| Supply Current | <1µA typical - enables always-on integration without impacting battery life in portable devices. |
| Switch On-Resistance | 0.3Ω at VDD = 3.0V - minimizes insertion loss and thermal dissipation during shunt operation. |
| Turn-On Time | 130ns - guarantees switch closure before DC-blocking capacitors discharge significantly at power-down. |
| Click-and-Pop Reduction | 35dB with RSERIES = 30Ω - quantifies suppression of audible transients under standard test conditions. |
| Input Voltage Range | VDD to (VDD − 5.5V) - supports full-swing audio signals without clipping when VDD ≥ 2.0V for ±2V inputs. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - validated for consumer mobile device ambient environments. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX9892ERT+T is packaged in a 6-bump UCSP (1mm × 1.52mm × 0.6mm, RoHS-compliant), with bumps on the bottom side. Bump layout follows wafer-level chip-scale construction optimized for high-density portable PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INL | Left-channel analog input | Connects between amplifier output coupling capacitor and headphone jack; accepts VDD to (VDD − 5.5V). |
| INR | Right-channel analog input | Same electrical behavior as INL; enables stereo channel suppression. |
| GND | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for shunt current; must connect to solid system ground plane. |
| VDD | Power supply input | Supplies internal circuitry; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| MUTE | Active-low enable control | Drives switches closed when logic low; high-impedance when pulled high or floating. |
| SET | Turn-off time programming | Connects external capacitor to GND to set switch-open delay (1ms–1000ms); no pull-up/down required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the function of the SET pin on the MAX9892ERT+T?
The SET pin on the MAX9892ERT+T connects to an external capacitor (CSET) to program the turn-off delay time, ranging from 1ms to 1000ms. This allows precise synchronization with the host amplifier's startup transient profile. The MAX9892ERT+T uses this timing to delay opening its internal analog switches after MUTE goes high, thereby masking amplifier turn-on clicks and pops. No resistor or biasing is required at the SET pin.
Does the MAX9892ERT+T require external series resistors, and why?
Yes, the MAX9892ERT+T requires external series resistors (RSERIES) placed between the amplifier output and the INL/INR pins. These resistors limit peak current during shunt operation and optimize click-and-pop suppression-data shows 35dB reduction with 30Ω resistors. The value directly affects attenuation depth and transient shape; the MAX9892ERT+T datasheet provides a graph correlating RSERIES to dBV reduction for design tuning.
Can the MAX9892ERT+T operate with a 5.5V supply?
No, the MAX9892ERT+T is rated for 1.7V to 3.6V recommended supply voltage; absolute maximum VDD is 5.5V but operation above 3.6V risks limiting negative audio swing and violating recommended conditions. The MAX9892ERT+T input voltage range extends to VDD − 5.5V, so a 5.5V supply would allow only 0V negative swing-insufficient for ±2V signals. Use 2.0V–3.5V for full audio compatibility.
How does the MAX9892ERT+T differ from traditional series-mode click-and-pop suppressors?
The MAX9892ERT+T uses shunt-mode architecture: its switches connect amplifier outputs to ground only during mute transitions, leaving the signal path unaltered during playback. Unlike series-mode suppressors-which insert components into the audio path and risk distortion or bandwidth loss-the MAX9892ERT+T adds zero insertion loss, no added noise, and no phase shift in active mode, preserving original amplifier performance.
Is the MAX9892ERT+T pin-compatible with other variants in the MAX989x family?
The MAX9892ERT+T (UCSP-6) shares identical pinout with MAX9890ERT+T and MAX9891ERT+T in the same package, but differs electrically: MAX9890ERT+T has fixed timing and no SET pin functionality, while MAX9892ERT+T requires CSET for programmable delay. Pin compatibility exists only within UCSP-6 variants; µDFN versions (e.g., MAX9892ELT+) have same function but different physical layout.
