General Description
The MAX4885 integrates high-bandwidth analog
switches and level-translating buffers to implement a
complete 1:2 or 2:1 multiplexer for VGA signals. The
device provides switching for RGB, display data channel (DDC), and horizontal and vertical synchronization
(HSYNC, VSYNC) signals. A low-noise charge pump
with internal capacitors provides a boosted gate-drive
voltage to improve performance of the RGB switches.
In the 1:2 multiplexer mode, HSYNC/VSYNC inputs feature level-shifting buffers to support low-voltage CMOS
or standard TTL-compatible graphics controllers. In the
2:1 multiplexer mode, the output buffers for the
HSYNC/VSYNC inputs are disabled, allowing bidirectional signaling. In both modes, DDC signals are voltage-clamped to an external voltage to provide level
translation and protection. The MAX4885 features a
5µA shutdown mode and is ESD protected to ±8kV
Human Body Model (HBM) on externally routed pins.
The MAX4885 is specified over the extended (-40°C to
+85°C) temperature range, and is available in the 32pin, 5mm x 5mm TQFN package.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
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.

Detailed Description
The MAX4885 integrates high-bandwidth analog
switches and level-translating buffers to implement a
complete 1:2 or 2:1 multiplexer for VGA signals. The
device provides switching for RGB, HSYNC, VSYNC,
and DDC signals. A low-noise charge pump with internal capacitors provides a boosted gate-drive voltage to
improve performance of the RGB switches.
The device provides two modes of operation: 1:2 and
2:1. In 1:2 mode (M = 0), the HSYNC and VSYNC
inputs feature level-shifting buffers to support TTL output logic levels from low-voltage graphics controllers.
These buffered switches may be driven from as little as
+2.0V up to +5.5V. In 2:1 mode (M=1), the output
buffers for the HSYNC and VSYNC signals are disabled. In both modes, RGB signals are routed with the
same high-performance analog switches, and DDC signals are voltage clamped to a diode drop less than
V
CL
. Voltage clamping provides protection and compatibility with DDC signals and low-voltage ASICs. In
keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) applications, VCLis normally set to +5V because low-voltage clamping is not
required, as specified by the VESA standard.
Drive EN logic high to shut down the MAX4885. In shutdown mode, supply current is reduced to 5µA and all
switches are high impedance, providing high-signal
rejection. The RGB, HSYNC, VSYNC, and DDC switches
are ESD protected to ±8kV by the Human Body Model.
RGB Switches
The MAX4885 provides three SPDT high-bandwidth
switches to route standard VGA R, G, and B signals
(see Table 1). A boosted gate-drive voltage is generated by an internal charge pump to improve performance
of the RGB switches. The R, G, and B analog switches
are identical, and any of the three switches can be
used to route red, green, or blue video signals. The
RGB switches function with reduced performance with
the charge pump disabled.
Charge Pump
A low-noise charge pump with internal capacitors provides a doubled voltage for driving the RGB analog
switches. Noise voltage from the charge pump is less
than 50µV
P-P.
The noise level is more than 80dB below
the signal level, making the charge pump suitable for

standard VGA signals. The charge pump can be disabled to eliminate charge-pump noise; however, RGB
switch performance is slightly degraded. Connect QP
to ground for normal operation.
Horizontal/Vertical Sync Multiplexer
1:2 Multiplexer Mode
The MAX4885 provides two modes of operation for the
HSYNC and VSYNC signals. In 1:2 mode (M = 0), the
HSYNC/VSYNC inputs are buffered to provide level shifting and drive capability to meet the VESA specification.
2:1 Multiplexer Mode
In 2:1 mode (M = 1), the HSYNC/VSYNC output buffers
are disabled, and switches pass signals directly. The
HSYNC and VSYNC switches/buffers are identical, and
either input can be used to route HSYNC and
VSYNC signals.
Display Data Channel Multiplexer
The MAX4885 provides two voltage-clamped switches
to route DDC signals (see Table 3). Each switch
clamps signals to a diode drop less than the voltage
applied on VCL. Supply +3.3V on VCLto provide voltage clamping for VESA I2C-compatible signals. If voltage clamping is not required, connect VCLto V+. The
DDCA and DDCB switches are identical, and each
switch can be used to route either DDC signal.
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. Additionally, the MAX4885 is protected to
±8kV on RGB, HSYNC, VSYNC, and DDC switches by
the Human Body Model (HBM). For optimum ESD performance, bypass each V+ pin to ground with a 0.1µF
or larger ceramic capacitor.
Human Body Model (HBM)
Several ESD testing standards exist for measuring the
robustness of ESD structures. The ESD protection of
the MAX4885 is characterized with the Human Body
Model. Figure 5 shows the model used to simulate an
ESD event resulting from contact with the human body.
The model consists of a 100pF storage capacitor that is
charged to a high voltage, then discharged through a
1.5kΩ resistor. Figure 6 shows the current waveform
when the storage capacitor is discharged into a low
impedance.
ESD Test Conditions
ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions.
Please contact Maxim for a reliability report documenting test setup, methodology, and results.
Applications Information
1:2 Multiplexer for Low-Voltage Graphics
Controllers
The MAX4885 provides the level shifting necessary to
drive two standard VGA ports from a graphics controller as low as +2.2V. In 1:2 mode, internal buffers
drive the HSYNC and VSYNC signals to VGA standard
TTL levels. The DDC multiplexer provides level shifting
by clamping signals to a diode drop less than VCL(see
the Typical Operating Circuit). Connect VCLto +3.3V
for normal operation, or to V+ to disable voltage clamping for DDC signals.

2:1 Multiplexer
In 2:1 mode, HSYNC and VSYNC buffers are disabled,
allowing bidirectional signaling. The DDC multiplexer
provides level shifting by clamping signals to a diode
drop less than VCL(see the Typical Operating Circuit).
Connect VCLto V+ to disable voltage clamping for
DDC signals.
Power-Supply Decoupling
Bypass each V+ pin and VCLto ground with a 0.1µF or
larger ceramic capacitor as close to the device as possible.
PC Board Layout
High-speed switches such as the MAX4885 require
proper PC board layout for optimum performance.
Ensure that impedance-controlled PC board traces for
high-speed signals are matched in length and as short
as possible. Connect the exposed pad to a solid
ground plane.
