The MAX14983E integrates high-bandwidth analog
switches, level-translating buffers, and 5V power switches
to implement a complete 1:2 multiplexer for VGA monitors. The device switches graphics signals between a
controller and two outputs. Integrated pullup resistors
(2.2kI typ) are provided on the monitor-side display data
channel (DDC) signal lines.
The device features a simple power interface that operates with a single +5V supply input. Two integrated
power switches with current limiting and reverse-current
protection pass the +5V supply to external loads with
minimal voltage drop.
The horizontal and vertical synchronization (HSYNC/
VSYNC) buffers shift logic levels to support +2.5V to
+5.0V CMOS or TTL-compatible graphics controllers
while meeting the VESA drive capability requirement of
Q8mA. An internal 2.5V regulator translates the DDC
voltage levels to be compatible with low-voltage graphics
controllers.
The device also features monitor-detect outputs and
enable inputs that allow monitor switching to operate either
automatically or with inputs from the graphics controller.
The MAX14983E is available in a 32-pin (5mm x 5mm)
TQFN package, and is specified over the -40NC to +85NC
extended temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(VCC = +5V Q5%, TA= -40NC to +85NC, unless otherwise noted. Typical values are at VCC = +5V, TA= +25NC.) (Note 2)
