Product details
Overview
MAX14803AEWZ+ from Maxim Integrated is a 16-channel, high-voltage analog SPST switch IC designed for ultrasound probe and medical imaging front-ends. It delivers low-charge-injection (350 pC typ at +160V/–40V), 16 individually controllable switches, integrated 35kΩ bleed resistors on all COM/NO terminals, and operates with VPP/VNN up to +100V/–100V (230V total swing). It enables precise high-voltage signal routing in transducer array selection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX14803AEWZ+ datasheet, MAX14803AEWZ+ pinout, MAX14803AEWZ+ application, or MAX14803AEWZ+ equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, WLP package details, daisy-chain serial interface timing, bleed-resistor functionality, and real-world ultrasound transmit/receive switching context - all confirmed for the exact MAX14803AEWZ+ variant.
Technical Context
The MAX14803AEWZ+ implements a 16-bit serial shift register with transparent latch, controlled via DIN/CLK/LE/CLR signals referenced to a separate +2.7V to +5.5V VDD supply. Its HVCMOS process supports ±100V analog signal range (VNN ≤ VCOM_/VNO_ ≤ min[VNN+200V, VPP–10V]) and 3A peak per channel.
Unlike the LQFP-packaged MAX14803CCM+, the MAX14803AEWZ+ uses a 110-bump wafer-level package (WLP) rated for –40°C to +85°C operation and integrates 35kΩ bleed resistors on every switch terminal - a feature absent in MAX14802 variants and critical for discharging piezoelectric transducer capacitance in ultrasound systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Count | 16 independent SPST analog switches, each programmable via 16-bit serial interface |
| VPP/VNN Supply Range | +40V to +100V / –160V to –100V; supports asymmetric rails up to 230V differential (MAX14802ECM+/MAX14803AEWZ+ rating) |
| Charge Injection | 350 pC (typ) at VPP=+160V/VNN=–40V; ensures minimal voltage glitch during switching in sensitive receive paths |
| On-Resistance (RONS) | 16–27 Ω (typ) at ICOM_=200mA; enables low-loss high-current transmit pulses to transducers |
| Off-Isolation | –77 dB (typ) at 5 MHz, RL=50Ω; suppresses crosstalk between adjacent channels in dense probe arrays |
| Bleed Resistors | 35 kΩ integrated on each COM/NO terminal; actively discharges transducer capacitance between pulses without external components |
| Serial Interface Speed | 20 MHz max CLK frequency at VDD=+5V; supports fast reconfiguration of all 16 switches in <1 µs |
Pinout & Package
MAX14803AEWZ+ uses a 110-bump wafer-level package (WLP), 5.81 mm × 5.43 mm, rated for –40°C to +85°C operation. Bumps are on the bottom side; pin mapping follows JEDEC-standard WLP layout with dedicated analog, digital, and power terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VPP | Positive high-voltage supply | Bypass to GND with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor; powers all 16 switch drains |
| VNN | Negative high-voltage supply | Bypass to GND with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor; sets lower rail for analog signal range |
| VDD | Digital logic supply | +2.7V to +5.5V; powers shift register, latch, and interface logic only |
| GND | Analog/digital reference | Common return for VDD, VPP, VNN bypass caps and logic signals |
| DIN, CLK, LE, CLR | Serial control inputs | All referenced to VDD; support daisy-chaining via DOUT; LE active-low latches data |
| DOUT | Serial data output | Reflects DIN delayed by 16 clocks; enables cascading multiple MAX14803AEWZ+ devices |
| COM0–COM15, NO0–NO15 | Analog switch terminals | Each pair forms one SPST switch; all include integrated 35kΩ bleed resistors to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bleed resistors | 35 kΩ per COM/NO terminal - eliminates need for external discharge networks in ultrasound transducer biasing |
| Low-charge-injection switching | 350 pC typical at +160V/–40V - minimizes baseline shift and settling time in high-gain receive chains |
| Wide high-voltage supply flexibility | VPP/VNN = +100V/–100V, +200V/0V, or +40V/–160V - accommodates diverse transducer drive topologies |
| Clamping diodes on COM terminals | Protects against positive overshoot beyond VPP - safeguards downstream receivers from transient overvoltage |
| Daisy-chainable 20 MHz serial interface | Single CLK/LE/CLR bus controls multiple devices - reduces MCU GPIO count and PCB routing complexity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage analog switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX14803CCM+ | 48-pin LQFP package; same 35kΩ bleed resistors and –40°C to +85°C rating; no WLP footprint | Suitable for board-level designs where thermal performance (θJA = 44°C/W) and hand-solderability are prioritized over size | Select MAX14803CCM+ when PCB space permits larger package and reflow compatibility with standard QFP processes is required. |
| MAX14802ECM+ | No bleed resistors; identical 48-pin LQFP package and –40°C to +85°C rating; includes same clamping diodes | Used where external bleed networks are acceptable and lowest possible quiescent current (5 µA typ) is critical | Choose MAX14802ECM+ only if transducer discharge is handled externally and WLP size constraint does not apply. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable VPP–VNN differential voltage for MAX14803AEWZ+?
The MAX14803AEWZ+ supports a maximum VPP–VNN differential of 230V, as explicitly specified for the MAX14802ECM+ and MAX14803AEWZ+ ordering variants in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This is lower than the 250V rating of the commercial-grade MAX14802CCM+/MAX14803CCM+, reflecting tighter process validation for extended-temperature operation.
Does MAX14803AEWZ+ include integrated bleed resistors, and what is their value?
Yes, the MAX14803AEWZ+ includes integrated 35kΩ bleed resistors on every COM and NO terminal - a defining feature of the MAX14803 and MAX14803A families. These resistors discharge capacitive loads such as piezoelectric transducers between switching events, eliminating the need for external bleed networks in ultrasound probe designs.
What package type and dimensions does MAX14803AEWZ+ use?
The MAX14803AEWZ+ uses a 110-bump wafer-level package (WLP) measuring 5.81 mm × 5.43 mm, with bumps on the bottom side. This compact, near-chip-scale footprint is optimized for space-constrained ultrasound probe flex circuits and high-density medical imaging modules.
Can MAX14803AEWZ+ be daisy-chained with other devices, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX14803AEWZ+ supports daisy-chaining via its DOUT pin, which outputs the DIN signal delayed by 16 clock cycles. To cascade devices, connect DOUT of one MAX14803AEWZ+ to DIN of the next, while sharing CLK, LE, and CLR lines. A single 16-bit write updates all devices when LE is pulsed low simultaneously.
What is the operating temperature range specified for MAX14803AEWZ+?
The MAX14803AEWZ+ is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C, qualifying it for extended-temperature medical and industrial environments. This range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and distinguishes it from commercial-grade variants like MAX14803CCM+, which are rated only from 0°C to +70°C.
