The MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892 high-speed analog
switches meet the needs of 10/100/1000 Base-T applications. These devices switch the signals from two
interface transformers and connect the signals to a single 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet PHY, simplifying
docking station design and reducing manufacturing
costs. The MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892 can also
route signals from a common interface transformer to
two different boards in board-redundancy applications.
The MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892 switches provide an
extremely low capacitance and on-resistance to meet
Ethernet insertion and return-loss specifications. The
MAX4891/MAX4892 feature one and three built-in LED
switches, respectively.
The MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892 are available in
space-saving 32- and 36-lead TQFN packages,
significantly reducing the required PC board area.
These devices operate over the -40°C to +85°C 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.

The MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892 are high-speed analog switches targeted for 10/100/1000 Base-T applications. In a typical application, the MAX4890/MAX4891/
MAX4892 switch the signals from two separate interface transformers and connect the signals to a single
10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet PHY (see the TypicalOperating Circuit). This configuration simplifies docking
station design by avoiding signal reflections associated
with unterminated transmission lines in a T configuration. The MAX4891 and MAX4892 also include LED
switches that allow the LED output signals to be routed
to a docking station along with the Ethernet signals.
See the Functional Diagrams.
The MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892 switches provide
an extremely low capacitance and on-resistance
to meet Ethernet insertion and return-loss specifications. The MAX4891/MAX4892 feature one and three
built-in LED switches, respectively.
The MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892 incorporate a unique
architecture design utilizing only n-channel switches
within the main Ethernet switch, reducing I/O capacitance and channel resistance. An internal two-stage
charge pump with a nominal output of 7.5V provides the
high voltage needed to drive the gates of the n-channel
switches, while maintaining a consistently low R
ON
throughout the input signal range. An internal bandgap
reference set to 1.23V and an internal oscillator running
at 2.5MHz provide proper charge-pump operation.
Unlike other charge-pump circuits, the MAX4890/
MAX4891/MAX4892 include internal flyback capacitors,
reducing design time, board space, and cost.
Digital Control Inputs
The MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892 provide a single
digital control SEL. SEL controls the switches as well as
the LED switches as shown in Table 1.

MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892
Analog Signal Levels
The on-resistance of the MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892
is very low and stable as the analog input signals are
swept from ground to V+ (see the Typical OperatingCharacteristics). The switches are bidirectional, allowing A_ and _B_ to be configured as either inputs or outputs.
ESD Protection
The MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892 are characterized
using the Human Body Model for ±2kV of ESD protection. Figure 8 shows the Human Body Model, and Figure
9 shows the current waveform the Human Body Model
generates when discharged into a low-impedance load.
This model consists of a 100pF capacitor charged to the
ESD voltage of interest, which is then discharged into the
test device through a 1.5kΩ resistor.
Applications Information
Typical Operating Circuit
The Typical Operating Circuit depicts the MAX4890/
MAX4891/MAX4892 in a 10/100/1000 Base-T docking
station application.
Line-Card Redundancy (Ethernet T3/E3)
Figure 10 shows the MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892 in a
line-card redundancy configuration.
Power-Supply Sequencing and
Overvoltage Protection
Caution: Do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings.
Stresses beyond the listed ratings may cause permanent damage to the device.
Proper power-supply sequencing is recommended for
all CMOS devices. Always apply V+ before applying
analog signals, especially if the analog signal is not
current limited.
Layout
High-speed switches require proper layout and design
procedures for optimum performance. Keep designcontrolled-impedance printed circuit board traces as
short as possible. Ensure that bypass capacitors are as
close to the device as possible. Use large ground
planes where possible.
