General Description
The MAX4927 meets the needs of high-speed differential switching, including that of Gigabit Ethernet
(10/100/1000) Base-T switching as well as LVDS and
LVPECL switching. The MAX4927 provides enhanced
ESD protection up to ±15kV and excellent high-frequency response, making the device especially useful for
interfaces that must go to an outside connection.
The MAX4927 offers extremely low capacitance (C
ON
),
as well as low on-resistance (R
ON
), for low-insertion
loss and very wide bandwidth. In addition to the four
pairs of DPDT switches, the MAX4927 provides LED
switching for laptop computer/docking station use.
The MAX4927 is pin-to-pin equivalent to the PI3L500-A
and STMUX1000L. The MAX4927 can replace either
device in those applications, improving ESD protection
and eliminating external ESD components. The
MAX4927 is available in a space-saving 56-pin TQFN
package and operates over the extended -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.

MAX4927
1000 Base-T, ±15kV ESD Protection LAN Switch
_______________________________________________________________________________________ 7
Detailed Description
The MAX4927 is a high-speed analog switch targeted
for 1000 Base-T applications. In a typical application,
the MAX4927 switches the signals from two separate
interface transformers and connects the signals to a
single 1000 Base-T Ethernet PHY (see the Typical
Operating Circuit). This configuration simplifies dockingstation design by avoiding signal reflections associated
with unterminated transmission lines in a T configuration. The MAX4927 is protected against ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. The MAX4927 also
includes LED switches that allow the LED output signals to be routed to a docking station along with the
Ethernet signals. See the Functional Diagrams.
With its low resistance and capacitance, as well as high
ESD protection, the MAX4927 can be used to switch
most low-voltage differential signals, such as LVDS,
SERDES, and LVPECL, as long as the signals do not
exceed maximum ratings of the device.
The MAX4927 switch provides an extremely low capacitance and on-resistance to meet Ethernet insertion and
return-loss specifications. The MAX4927 features three
built-in LED switches.
The MAX4927 incorporates 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 7.5V output provides the high voltage needed to
drive the gates of the n-channel switches while maintaining a consistently low RONthroughout 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 MAX4927 includes internal flyback capacitors,
reducing design time, board space, and cost.
Digital Control Inputs
The MAX4927 provides a single digital control input,
SEL. SEL controls the high-frequency switches as well
as the LED switches as shown in Table 1.
Analog Signal Levels
The on-resistance of the MAX4927 is very low and stable as the analog input signals are swept from ground
to VDD(see the Typical Operating Characteristics). The
switches are bidirectional, allowing A_ and _B_ to be
configured as either inputs or outputs.
±15kV ESD Protection
As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures
are incorporated on all pins to protect against electrostatic discharges encountered during handling and
assembly. All the high-frequency switch inputs (A_,
_B_), LED switch inputs (LED_, _LED_), and SEL have
high ESD protection against static electricity. Maxim’s
engineers have developed state-of-the-art structures to
protect these pins against ESD of ±15kV without damage. After an ESD event, the MAX4927 keeps working
without latchup or damage.
ESD protection can be tested in various ways. All signal
and control inputs of the MAX4927 are characterized
for protection to the following limits:
• ±15kV using the Human Body Model
• ±8kV using the Contact Discharge Method specified
in IEC 61000-4-2
• ±15kV using the Air-Gap Discharge Method specified
in IEC 61000-4-2
ESD Test Conditions
ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions.
Contact Maxim for a reliability report that documents
test setup, test methodology, and test results.

Human Body Model
Figure 5a shows the Human Body Model. Figure 5b
shows the current waveform it generates when discharged into a low impedance. This model consists of a
100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of interest,
which is then discharged into the test device through
1.5kΩ resistor.
IEC 61000-4-2
The IEC 61000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and
performance of finished equipment. However, it does
not specifically refer to integrated circuits. The MAX4927
helps equipment design to meet IEC 61000-4-2 without
the need for additional ESD-protected components.
The major difference between tests done using the
Human Body Model and IEC 61000-4-2 is higher peak
current in IEC 61000-4-2 because series resistance is
lower in the IEC 61000-4-2 model. Hence, the ESD withstand voltage measured to IEC 61000-4-2 is generally
lower than that measured using the Human Body
Model. Figure 5c shows the IEC 61000-4-2 model, and
Figure 5d shows the current waveform for IEC 61000-42 ESD Contact Discharge test.
Machine Model
The machine model for ESD tests all pins using a 200pF
storage capacitor and zero discharge resistance.
The objective is to emulate the stress caused when I/O
pins are contacted by handling equipment during test
and assembly.
The Air-Gap Discharge Method involves approaching the
device with a charged probe. The Contact Discharge
Method connects the probe to the device before the
probe is energized.
Applications Information
Typical Operating Circuit
The Typical Operating Circuit shows the MAX4927 in a
1000 Base-T docking station application.
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 VDDbefore applying
analog signals, especially if the analog signal is not
current limited.
Power-Supply Bypassing
Bypass at least one VDDinput to ground with a 0.1µF or
larger ceramic capacitor as close to the device as possible. Use the smallest physical size possible for optimal
performance (0603 body size is recommended).
It is also recommended to bypass more than one V
DD
input. A good strategy is to bypass one VDDinput with
a 0.1µF capacitor, and at least a second VDDinput with
a 10nF capacitor (use 0603 or smaller physical size
ceramic capacitor).
Layout
High-speed switches require proper layout and design
procedures for optimum performance. Keep design-controlled-impedance PCB traces as short as possible.
Ensure that bypass capacitors are as close as possible
to the device. Use large ground planes where possible.
