High-Bandwidth, VGA 2:1 Switch
with ±15kV ESD Protection
MAX4885AE
General Description
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.
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.
All seven output terminals of the MAX4885AE feature
high-ESD protection to Q15kV Human Body Model
(HBM) (see the Pin Description). All other pins are pro-
tected to Q2kV Human Body Model (HBM).
The MAX4885AE is specified over the extended -40NC to
+85NC temperature range, and is available in a space-
saving, 28-pin, 4mm x 4mm TQFN package.
