Product details
Overview
The MAX4800CQI+T from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel, high-voltage SPST analog switch designed for ultrasound imaging transducer multiplexing and industrial printer head control. It delivers low-charge-injection (350pC), 22Ω on-resistance, -77dB off-isolation at 5MHz, and operates across VPP/VNN supply combinations up to ±100V, +185V/-15V, or +40V/-160V. Its serial digital interface supports daisy-chaining in multi-channel probe driver systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4800CQI+T datasheet, MAX4800CQI+T pinout, MAX4800CQI+T application, or MAX4800CQI+T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping for the 28-pin PLCC, real-world switching performance metrics, and validated drop-in alternatives for HV20220PJ-based designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4800CQI+T implements eight independent BCDMOS SPST switches with a shared 8-bit serial shift register and programmable latch. Control is delivered via DIN/CLK/LE/CLR signals tolerant to +13.2V regardless of VDD level (2.7V–13.2V), enabling direct interfacing with higher-voltage microcontrollers.
Each switch supports analog signal ranges from VNN +10V to VPP −10V, with turn-on/off times ≤5µs, 50kHz max switching frequency, and integrated power-on reset ensuring all channels default open. No bleed resistors are included-this distinguishes it from the MAX4802 variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Channels | 8 independent SPST switches for transducer or print-head channel selection |
| On-Resistance (RONS) | 22Ω typical - ensures minimal signal attenuation and thermal rise at 200mA load |
| Charge Injection | 350pC - preserves signal integrity in precision ultrasound echo acquisition |
| Off-Isolation | -77dB at 5MHz - suppresses crosstalk between adjacent transducer elements |
| Supply Range (VPP/VNN) | +40V/-160V to +185V/-15V - supports asymmetric high-voltage biasing for piezoelectric drivers |
| Digital Interface Voltage Tolerance | +13.2V on DIN/CLK/LE/CLR - eliminates level-shifting when interfacing with 5V/12V controllers |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial medical imaging and office equipment environments |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4800CQI+T is housed in a 28-pin PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) package with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant, and rated for surface-mount reflow assembly. Pin 1 is marked by a corner notch; the package outline matches Maxim's Q28-4 specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | COM0–COM7 | Common terminals for each of the 8 analog switches - connect to transducer common bus or print-head drive node |
| 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 | NO0–NO7 | Normally-open terminals - route to individual transducer elements or print-nozzle electrodes |
| 17 | VPP | Positive high-voltage supply input - bypassed to GND with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor |
| 18 | VNN | Negative high-voltage supply input - bypassed to GND with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor |
| 19 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - star-point connection required for noise-sensitive HV operation |
| 20 | VDD | Digital logic supply (2.7V–13.2V) - decoupled locally to minimize clock feedthrough |
| 21 | DIN | Serial data input - MSB-first 8-bit command loads shift register; +13.2V tolerant |
| 22 | CLK | Serial clock input - rising-edge triggered; supports up to 10MHz (VDD ≥4.5V) |
| 23 | LE | Latch enable (active-low) - updates switch states only when pulsed low after valid data load |
| 24 | CLR | Latch clear (active-high) - forces all switches open without affecting shift register contents |
| 25 | DOUT | Serial data output - delayed echo of DIN (8-clock cycle latency) for daisy-chaining |
| 26, 27, 28 | N.C. | No internal connection - left unconnected per design; no routing or termination required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| HV20220PJ | Original Supertex part; identical pinout, same 28-pin PLCC, but lacks Maxim's enhanced ESD robustness and tighter RONS matching (±20% vs ±15% typical) | Legacy designs already qualified with HV20220PJ require no layout change; newer designs benefit from MAX4800CQI+T's lower charge injection | Select MAX4800CQI+T for new designs requiring improved signal fidelity; retain HV20220PJ only for exact second-source compliance. |
| MAX4800CCM+T | Same functional spec, but in 48-pin TQFP package - larger footprint, better thermal dissipation, and higher power handling (1818mW vs 842mW) | Suitable for high-density multilayer boards with ample area; not interchangeable in PLCC-28 footprints | Choose MAX4800CCM+T when board layout allows TQFP and thermal management requires >842mW dissipation. |
Compared with HV20220PJ, the MAX4800CQI+T offers lower charge injection and tighter on-resistance matching, directly improving ultrasound image SNR; compared with MAX4800CCM+T, it enables compact probe integration via PLCC packaging but trades off thermal headroom and pin count scalability.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable VPP–VNN voltage difference for the MAX4800CQI+T?
The MAX4800CQI+T supports a maximum VPP–VNN differential voltage of 200V. Valid configurations include +100V/−100V, +185V/−15V, and +40V/−160V. Exceeding 200V violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent device failure. The datasheet specifies VPP–VNN ≤ 200V across all operating conditions for the MAX4800CQI+T.
Does the MAX4800CQI+T include integrated bleed resistors?
No, the MAX4800CQI+T does not include integrated bleed resistors. That feature is exclusive to the MAX4802 variant (e.g., MAX4802CQI+T), which adds 35kΩ resistors from each switch terminal to RGND. The MAX4800CQI+T requires external discharge paths for capacitive loads like piezoelectric transducers.
Can the MAX4800CQI+T be used with a 3.3V microcontroller interface?
Yes, the MAX4800CQI+T supports VDD from +2.7V to +13.2V and its digital inputs (DIN, CLK, LE, CLR) are +13.2V tolerant regardless of VDD level. When VDD = 3.3V, logic thresholds adjust to VIH = VDD − 0.75V (≥2.55V) and VIL = 0.75V - fully compatible with standard 3.3V CMOS outputs without level shifting.
What is the purpose of the N.C. pins on the MAX4800CQI+T PLCC package?
Pins 26, 27, and 28 on the MAX4800CQI+T are designated N.C. (No Connection) - they have no internal bond wire or circuit connection. These pins must remain unconnected on the PCB; no routing, grounding, or decoupling is required or recommended. They exist for mechanical symmetry and package compatibility.
How does the power-on reset function behave in the MAX4800CQI+T?
The MAX4800CQI+T incorporates an internal power-on reset circuit that forces the 8-bit latch to zero on power-up, ensuring all eight switches default to the OFF (open) state. This behavior is guaranteed across the full 0°C to +70°C temperature range and eliminates risk of unintended high-voltage conduction during system initialization.
