High-Bandwidth, VGA 2:1 Switch
with 1ꢀ5V ESD Protection
General Description
Features
S Low 5I (typ) On-Resistance (R_, G_, B_ Signals)
The MAX4885AE integrates high-bandwidth analog
switches, level-translating buffers, and level-translating
FET switches to implement a complete 2:1 multiplexer
for VGA signals. The device provides three very high-
frequency 900MHz (typ) SPDT switches for RGB signals,
two low-frequency clamping switches for the DDC sig-
nals, a pair of level-translating buffers for the H_ and V_
signals, and integrated extended ESD protection.
S Low 5.5pF (typ) On-Capacitance (R_, G_, B_
Signals)
S Independent, Selectable Logic Inputs for
Switching
S Similar Pin Configuration to MAX4885
S Ultra-Small, 28-Pin (4mm x 4mm) TQFN Package
S Q15kV ESD HBM
Horizontal and vertical synchronization (H_/V_) inputs
feature level-shifting buffers to support low-voltage
controllers and standard 5V-TTL-compatible monitors,
meeting the VESA requirement. Display Data Channel
(DDC), consisting of SDA_ and SCL_, are FET switches
that protect the low-voltage VGA source from potential
damage from high-voltage presence on the monitor
while reducing capacitive load.
