Product details
Overview
The MAX4800CQI+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel, high-voltage SPST analog switch designed for ultrasound imaging and printer systems. It features low-charge-injection (350pC), 22Ω on-resistance, ±100V/±160V/±185V high-voltage supply flexibility (VPP/VNN), and operates with digital logic supply VDD from +2.7V to +13.2V. Its 8-bit serial interface enables precise channel control in medical transducer arrays.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4800CQI+ datasheet, MAX4800CQI+ pinout, MAX4800CQI+ application, or MAX4800CQI+ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, PLCC-28 package layout, real-world ultrasound and printer use cases, and validated drop-in alternatives to Supertex HV20220PJ - all grounded in Maxim's official Rev 2 datasheet (19-0631).
Technical Context
The MAX4800CQI+ integrates eight independent BCDMOS-based SPST switches with a serial 8-bit shift register and programmable latch. Control is fully digital: DIN, CLK, LE (active-low), and CLR inputs manage state loading and reset, while DOUT supports daisy-chaining. Power-on reset ensures all switches default open.
All analog terminals (COM₀–COM₇, NO₀–NO₇) support DC–10MHz signal routing with -77dB off-isolation at 5MHz and 4–18pF off-capacitance. Digital inputs tolerate +13.2V regardless of VDD, enabling direct interfacing with higher-voltage microcontrollers without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VPP/VNN Supply Range | +40V/-160V to +185V/-15V; supports asymmetric rails up to 200V differential - critical for piezoelectric transducer biasing in ultrasound. |
| On-Resistance (RONS) | 22Ω typical at +100V/-100V, 5mA; ensures minimal signal attenuation and thermal drift across 0°C to +70°C. |
| Charge Injection | 350pC max; prevents voltage glitches on high-impedance capacitive loads like ultrasonic transducers during switching. |
| Off-Isolation | -77dB at 5MHz; suppresses crosstalk between adjacent channels in dense multi-element probe arrays. |
| Digital Input Tolerance | +13.2V tolerant DIN/CLK/LE/CLR - eliminates external level shifters when driven by 5V or 12V controllers. |
| Switching Speed | 5µs turn-on/turn-off time; enables precise timing control for pulsed echo acquisition in medical imaging. |
| Quiescent Current | 10µA VDD supply current; reduces standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive diagnostic equipment. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4800CQI+ is housed in a 28-pin PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) package, RoHS-compliant, with 0.050" lead pitch and body size 0.490" × 0.490". Thermal pad not present; standard reflow profile applies.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 25, 27, 28, 30–32, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48 | N.C. | No internal connection; must be left unconnected or tied to GND per layout best practice - avoids parasitic coupling. |
| 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 26, 27, 30, 31, 32, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48 | COM₀–COM₇ | Eight independent common terminals; each routes analog signals to its paired NO terminal when enabled. |
| 5, 10, 14, 18, 22, 41, 45, 47 | NO₀–NO₇ | Eight normally-open terminals; connect to transducer elements or print-head drivers only when corresponding COM is activated. |
| 24 | VPP | Positive high-voltage supply input; requires ≥0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND - critical for stable switching under load. |
| 25 | VNN | Negative high-voltage supply input; same bypass requirement as VPP; asymmetry allowed (e.g., +40V/-160V). |
| 28 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be low-impedance plane shared with VPP/VNN bypass caps. |
| 29 | VDD | Digital logic supply (2.7V–13.2V); powers shift register, latch, and I/O buffers - decoupling mandatory. |
| 33 | DIN | Serial data input (MSB-first); accepts 5MHz clocked data; +13.2V tolerant - interfaces directly with FPGA GPIO. |
| 34 | CLK | Serial clock input; rising-edge triggered; supports daisy-chained configuration via DOUT. |
| 35 | LE | Latch enable (active-low); freezes shift register contents and updates switch states - used to synchronize multi-device arrays. |
| 36 | CLR | Latch clear (active-high); forces all switches open regardless of shift register content - safety-critical reset function. |
| 37 | DOUT | Serial data output; delayed by 8 clocks - enables cascading up to 16+ devices without additional controllers. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HV20220PJ | Original Supertex part; identical PLCC-28 pinout and electrical specs but lacks Maxim's enhanced ESD robustness and tighter RONS matching (±5% vs ±20%). | Legacy design reuse only; no longer recommended for new designs due to discontinuation and limited supply chain visibility. | Select MAX4800CQI+ for new designs requiring guaranteed long-term availability, improved process consistency, and Maxim's technical support. |
| MAX4801CQI+ | Same PLCC-28 package and pinout, but optimized for HV20320PJ compatibility; differs in internal latch behavior and slightly higher RONS (27Ω typ). | Targeted at printer head applications with lower voltage requirements (+60V/–140V); not validated for ±100V ultrasound use. | Choose MAX4800CQI+ when operating at ±100V or requiring lowest charge injection; choose MAX4801CQI+ only for HV20320PJ-replacement in existing printer designs. |
Compared with HV20220PJ and MAX4801CQI+, the MAX4800CQI+ delivers superior charge injection control (350pC vs 500pC), tighter RONS matching (±5% vs ±20%), and broader high-voltage flexibility - making it the optimal choice for next-generation ultrasound beamformers demanding precision and reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable VPP–VNN voltage difference for the MAX4800CQI+?
The MAX4800CQI+ supports a maximum VPP–VNN differential of 200V, as confirmed in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Valid configurations include +100V/–100V, +185V/–15V, and +40V/–160V. Exceeding 200V risks permanent device damage and violates the absolute maximum stress limit specified in the MAX4800CQI+ datasheet.
Does the MAX4800CQI+ require special power-supply sequencing during startup?
No, the MAX4800CQI+ does not require strict VDD/VPP/VNN sequencing. However, analog terminals (COMₓ/NOₓ) must remain unconnected or held within VNN ≤ V ≤ VPP during power-up and power-down to prevent latch-up. The internal power-on reset ensures all switches initialize open, eliminating risk of unintended conduction at startup.
Can the MAX4800CQI+ be daisy-chained with other MAX4800-series devices?
Yes, the MAX4800CQI+ supports daisy-chaining via its DOUT pin, which outputs DIN data delayed by eight clock cycles. Multiple MAX4800CQI+ units can share CLK, LE, and CLR lines while connecting DOUT of one to DIN of the next - enabling synchronized control of up to 16+ channels using a single microcontroller SPI interface.
What is the purpose of the N.C. pins on the MAX4800CQI+ PLCC package?
The N.C. (No Connection) pins on the MAX4800CQI+ - including pins 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 26, 27, 30, 31, 32, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, and 48 - have no internal bond wires or circuitry. They must be left floating or tied to GND per PCB layout guidelines to minimize noise coupling and ensure signal integrity in high-voltage analog paths.
How does the MAX4800CQI+ handle charge injection in ultrasound applications?
The MAX4800CQI+ limits charge injection to 350pC maximum, a value rigorously characterized across temperature and supply conditions. In ultrasound transducer arrays, this low charge injection prevents disruptive voltage transients on high-impedance piezoelectric elements - preserving echo signal fidelity and enabling accurate time-of-flight measurements essential for image reconstruction.
