Maxim’s Fully Integrated VGA Multiplexer Offers Extended ESD Protection

Maxim has introduced the MAX4885E, a complete 1:2 VGA multiplexer. This device switches between two VGA ports while maintaining an ultra-low, 6pF (typ) on-capacitance and low, 5ohm (typ) on-resistance for higher-bandwidth applications (up to 1GHz). The only switch that offers a complete VGA solution for switching and translating R, G, B, DDC, and H/V signals, the MAX4885E delivers 2x more bandwidth than any existing solution and provides extended ±15kV (Human Body Model) and ±8kV (Contact Discharge) ESD protection. The device’s advanced integration dramatically reduces design time, saves board space, and minimizes cost, making it the ideal choice for notebook PCs, servers, and consumer video applications.

The MAX4885E operates from a single, 2.0V to 5.0V supply, and is fully specified over the -40 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius extended temperature range. It is available in an industry-standard, 4mm x 4mm, 24-pin TQFN package. Pricing starts at $1.50 (1000-up, FOB USA).
