MAX4684/MAX4685 0.5Ω/0.8Ω Low-Voltage, Dual SPDT Analog Switches in UCSP Detailed Description supply voltages. Maximum supply voltage (V+) must not The MAX4684/MAX4685 are low on-resistance, low- exceed +6V. Protection diode D1 also protects against voltage, dual SPDT analog switches that operate from a some overvoltage situations. No damage will result on +1.8V to +5.5V supply. The devices are fully specified for Figure 1’s circuit if the supply voltage is below the abso- nominal 3V applications. The MAX4684/MAX4685 have lute maximum rating applied to an analog signal pin. break-before-make switching and fast switching speeds UCSP Package Consideration (tON = 50ns max, tOFF = 40ns max).

UCSP reliability is integrally linked to the user’s Applications Information assembly methods, circuit board material, and usage environment. The user should closely review these areas Digital Control Inputs when considering use of a UCSP package. Performance The MAX4684/MAX4685 logic inputs accept up to +5.5V through Operating Life Test and Moisture Resistance regardless of supply voltage. For example, with a +3.3V remains uncompromised as it is primarily determined by supply, IN_ may be driven low to GND and high to 5.5V. the wafer-fabrication process. Driving IN_ rail-to-rail minimizes power consumption. Mechanical stress performance is a greater consideration Logic levels for a +1.8V supply are 0.5V (low) and 1.4V for a UCSP package.

Proper power-supply sequencing is recommended for all NO COM CMOS devices. Always apply V+ before applying analog Vg signals, especially if the analog signal is not current lim- ited. If this sequencing is not possible, and if the analog inputs are not current limited to <20mA, add a small sig- GND nal diode (D1) as shown in Figure 1.
