Two-channel overvoltage protection for 3.5 mm audio paths in a 9-bump wafer-level package.
Technical values and bump functions are based on Analog Devices' MAX20331/MAX20331A Rev. 0 data sheet and the MAX20331 product page. Verify the current controlled documents before design release.
The MAX20331EWL+ is the MAX20331 variant of a two-channel audio-line overvoltage protection device. It is placed between an external 3.5 mm audio connection and sensitive codec circuitry. Under an overvoltage condition, the device opens the affected COM-to-NC signal path. Its COM inputs tolerate voltages up to ±40 V, while the MAX20331 version uses nominal positive and negative trip thresholds of ±3.45 V.
COM audio inputs are specified for protection against external high-voltage events up to ±40 V.
Disconnects codec-side NC outputs from the external lines when the overvoltage threshold is crossed.
9-bump, 3 × 3 WLP measures approximately 1.23 mm × 1.23 mm with 0.4 mm bump pitch.
Designed for smartphone and tablet audio connector protection.
COM1-to-NC1 and COM2-to-NC2 paths serve two external audio lines.
The MAX20331 operates from 1.6 V to 5.5 V.
Specified from −40 °C to +85 °C.
The EWL+ ordering code identifies the lead-free 9-bump WLP version.
The manufacturer specifies a 9-bump, 0.4 mm-pitch wafer-level package measuring approximately 1.23 mm × 1.23 mm. The catalog's “9-WFBGA, WLBGA” label is a generic description; use the manufacturer WLP drawing for land-pattern and assembly decisions.

Typical values are not guaranteed limits. Consult the official electrical-characteristics table for design margins.
No internal replacement is asserted here. Before substituting any part, compare protection thresholds, supply range, audio-path performance, bump map, package geometry, and qualification requirements. The MAX20331A family has a different protection threshold and is not automatically interchangeable.
MAX20331EWL+ is a Maxim Integrated ordering code presented by Analog Devices. The manufacturer lists this exact code as a 9-WLP option.

Protection between a 3.5 mm headset connector and audio codec inputs.
Compact two-line overvoltage protection in portable audio interfaces.
Confirm the full ordering code, package marking, lot traceability, and packaging against the manufacturer's controlled documentation and the received material. The “+” suffix denotes a lead-free/RoHS-compliant package in the manufacturer data sheet.
It isolates two codec-side audio lines from an overvoltage applied at the external connector.
Not by assumption. Its nominal overvoltage threshold and minimum supply differ; verify the complete design requirements.
No. Use the manufacturer's package drawing for the exact WLP footprint.
Check absolute maximum ratings, electrical limits, ESD strategy, connector topology, and package drawing in the current manufacturer documents. The local package image is currently unavailable; do not treat this draft as publication-ready.
