Integrated T1/E1/J1 Short-Haul and
Long-Haul Protection Switch
General Description
Features
The MAX4670 is an integrated T1/E1/J1 analog protec-
tion switch for 1+1 and N+1 line-card redundancy
applications. It protects two T1/E1/J1 ports by combin-
ing eight SPDT switches in a single package. The
switch is optimized for high-return loss and pulse-tem-
plate performance in T1/E1/J1 long-haul and short-haul
applications. The part offers built-in chip-side surge
protection capability for short-haul intrabuilding appli-
cations.
ꢀ Single +3.3V Supply Voltage
ꢀ Quad-DPDT/Octal-SPDT Switches Support
Two T1/E1/J1 Ports
ꢀ Low RON
ꢀ 0.7Ω (typ) in Transmit Path; 5Ω (typ) in
Receive Path
ꢀ Low CON/COFF
60pF/40pF (typ) in Transmit Path
24pF/12pF (typ) in Receive Path
The MAX4670 replaces two diode arrays or two tran-
sient voltage suppressors (TVSs) and four dual-SPDT
relays, significantly reducing board space and simplify-
ing PC board routing. The MAX4670 pinout is targeted
for T1/E1/J1 applications, resulting in a simplified layout
when interfacing with standard line transformers and
line interface units (LIUs).
ꢀ Chip Surge Protection
IEC 61000-4-5 (8µs to 20µs Surge)
Class 2 ( 1ꢀV)
ꢀ -70dB (typ) Crosstalꢀ/Off-Isolation (3MHz)
ꢀ Small, 32-Pin TQFN Pacꢀage
The MAX4670 has four 1.0Ω (max) on-resistance switch-
es with 60pF/40pF on-/off-capacitances for interfacing to
the LIU transmitter outputs. The MAX4670 also includes
four 10Ω (max) on-resistance switches with low
24pF/12pF on-/off-capacitances for interfacing to the LIU
receiver inputs. Four logic inputs control the receive/
transmit pairs, in addition to a SWITCH input that con-
nects all switches to the system’s protection bus.
