MAX4885AE: Fully integrated 2:1 VGA multiplexer with extended ESD protection enables higher bandwidth applications

The MAX4885AE is the only 2:1 switch offering a complete VGA solution with two separate control signals that independently switch between the high-frequency and low-frequency circuitry. This device provides glitch-free switching and two times more bandwidth than any existing solution. Additionally, it integrates ±15kV (HBM) and ±8kV (IEC 61000-4-2 Contact Discharge) ESD protection to eliminate external protection diodes. The integrated switching architecture and ESD protection save design time, board space, and cost.

The MAX4885AE operates from a single 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, 28-pin TQFN package. Pricing starts at $2.50 (1000-up, FOB USA).
