General Description
The MAX4910/MAX4911/MAX4912 quad, single-
pole/double-throw (SPDT), clickless audio switches fea-
ture negative signal capability that allows signals as low
as V
CC
-5.5V to pass through without distortion. These
analog switches have a low on-resistance, low supply
current, and operate from a single +1.8V to +5.5V supply.
The MAX4910/MAX4911/MAX4912 have internal shunt
resistors that automatically discharge the capacitance at
the normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) termi-
nals when they are not connected. The MAX4910/
MAX4911 have shunt resistors on all NO and NC terminals
and the MAX4912 has shunt resistors on all NO, NC1, and
NC3 terminals. These shunt resistors reduce click-and-
pop sounds that occur when switching audio signals
between precharged points. A break-before-make feature
further reduces popping.
The MAX4910/MAX4912 control the switches in pairs with
two control bits CB1 and CB2. The MAX4911 has one con-
trol bit to switch all four switches and an enable pin EN to
put the switches in a high-impedance mode. The MAX4912
has two terminals without shunt resistors for switching
applications that do not require pre-discharge switching.
The MAX4910/MAX4911/MAX4912 are available in a tiny
16-pin TQFN-EP (3mm x 3mm) package and operate
over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.
