Clickless switching — what it means for the audio path
The MAX4908ETD+T includes a clickless feature that suppresses audible pops and clicks during channel transitions. Combined with break-before-make switching, it ensures the output never momentarily shorts two input sources together — a common cause of thumps in audio crossfaders and input selectors. For a production BOM, this eliminates the need for external mute circuits or soft-start capacitors on the mux output.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The MAX4908ETD+T carries an Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window is in effect. For BOM planning, this means no near-term obsolescence risk.
