General Description
The MAX4888A/MAX4889A high-speed passive switches
route PCI Express®(PCIe) data between two possible
destinations. The MAX4888A is a quad single-pole/double-throw (4 x SPDT) switch ideally suited for switching
two half lanes of PCIe data between two destinations. The
MAX4889A is an octal single-pole/double-throw (8 x
SPDT) switch ideal for switching four half lanes of PCIe
data between four destinations. The MAX4888A/
MAX4889A feature a single digital control input (SEL) to
switch signal paths.
The MAX4888A/MAX4889A are fully specified to operate from a single +3.0V to +3.6V power supply††. The
MAX4888A is available in a 3.5mm x 5.5mm, 28-pin
TQFN package. The MAX4889A is available in a 3.5mm
x 9.0mm, 42-pin TQFN package. Both devices operate
over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
Features
♦ Single +3.0V to +3.6V Power-Supply Voltage
♦ Low Same-Pair Skew of 7ps
♦ Low 120µA (Max) Quiescent Current
♦ Supports PCIe Gen I and Gen || Data Rates
♦ Flow-Through Pin Configuration for Ease of
Layout
♦ Industry-Compatible Pinout
♦ Lead-Free Packaging

(V+ = +3.0V to +3.6V, TA= -40°C to +85°C, unless otherwise noted. Typical values are at V+ = +3.3V, TA= +25°C.) (Note 2)
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.
