MAX4888A/MAX4889A
The MAX4888A/MAX4889A high-speed passive switches
route PCI Express
®
(PCIe) data between two possible
destinations. The MAX4888A is a quad single-pole/dou-
ble-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 oper-
ate from a single 3.0V to 3.6V power supply and also
operate down to +1.65V. 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.

Note 1:
Signals on SEL, NO__, NC__ or COM__ exceeding V+ or GND are clamped by internal diodes. Limit forward-diode current
to maximum current rating.
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.
