Product details
Overview
The MAX4802CQI from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel, high-voltage SPST analog switch IC designed for ultrasonic imaging transducer multiplexing and industrial printer head control. It features integrated 35kΩ bleed resistors on all COM/NO terminals, supports VPP/VNN up to +40V/–160V (200V total), delivers ≤27Ω on-resistance at 200mA, and operates with digital supply VDD from +2.7V to +13.2V. Its low-charge-injection (350pC) and –77dB off-isolation at 5MHz enable precise signal integrity in pulsed ultrasound beamforming.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4802CQI datasheet, MAX4802CQI pinout, MAX4802CQI application, or MAX4802CQI equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated PLCC-28 pin mapping, confirmed drop-in replacement status versus HV232PJ, and application-specific implementation guidance for high-voltage analog switching in medical and industrial systems.
Technical Context
The MAX4802CQI implements eight independent BCDMOS-based SPST switches controlled via a serial 8-bit shift register with latch enable (LE) and clear (CLR). Each switch supports analog signals from VNN +10V to VPP –10V and includes internal 35kΩ bleed resistors tied to RGND - a feature exclusive to the MAX4802 variant and absent in MAX4800/MAX4801.
Digital inputs (DIN, CLK, LE, CLR) are +13.2V tolerant regardless of VDD level; DOUT enables daisy-chaining multiple devices. Power-on reset ensures all switches default open, and timing allows 5µs turn-on/off with 50kHz max switching frequency under load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VPP/VNN Range | +40V/–160V to +185V/–15V (200V max differential); enables single-supply operation up to +200V when VNN = GND |
| RONS | ≤27Ω at 200mA (TA = +70°C); ensures minimal IR drop and power loss in high-current transducer drive paths |
| Charge Injection | 350pC (VPP = +160V, VNN = –40V); critical for preserving baseline stability in time-of-flight ultrasound measurements |
| Off-Isolation | –77dB at 5MHz (RL = 50Ω); suppresses crosstalk between adjacent channels during multi-element beam steering |
| Bleed Resistors | 35kΩ per terminal (COM/NO) to RGND; discharges piezoelectric capacitance without external components, reducing board area and EMI risk |
| Logic Input Tolerance | +13.2V tolerant DIN/CLK/LE/CLR; allows direct interface with 5V/12V microcontrollers without level-shifting |
| tON/tOFF | 5µs typical; supports fast pulse sequencing required for real-time ultrasound frame rates |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4802CQI is housed in a 28-pin PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) package with 0.050" lead pitch and JEDEC MO-097AC outline. Pin 1 is located at the index corner; thermal pad is not present. RGND (Pin 11) is unique to MAX4802 and must be connected to system ground for bleed resistor functionality.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COM0–COM7 | Analog common terminals (8) | High-voltage return path for each channel; must remain within VNN to VPP during power-up |
| NO0–NO7 | Analog normally-open terminals (8) | Switched outputs routed to transducers or print heads; each has integrated 35kΩ bleed to RGND |
| VPP / VNN | High-voltage supplies | VPP = positive rail (up to +185V), VNN = negative rail (down to –160V); bypass each with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor |
| VDD / GND / RGND | Digital supply, ground, bleed ground | VDD = +2.7V to +13.2V logic supply; RGND (Pin 11) is dedicated ground for bleed resistors - separate from GND (Pin 13) |
| DIN / CLK / LE / CLR / DOUT | Serial control interface | 4-wire SPI-like interface with daisy-chain capability; LE active-low latches data; CLR active-high resets all switches open |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated bleed resistors | 35kΩ per COM/NO terminal referenced to RGND - eliminates need for 16 external resistors in ultrasound probe PCB layouts |
| Low-charge injection | 350pC maximum - prevents baseline drift in echo-receiving circuits where DC-coupled amplifiers follow the switch |
| Wide high-voltage range | VPP – VNN ≤ 200V with asymmetric support (e.g., +40V/–160V) - matches legacy HV supply rails in medical imaging systems |
| Pin-compatible replacement | Direct drop-in for Supertex HV232PJ in 28-pin PLCC footprint - no PCB redesign required for legacy system upgrades |
| Power-on reset | Guarantees all 8 switches start open at power-up - prevents unintended transducer excitation or print-head activation |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| HV232PJ | Original Supertex part; identical pinout and function but lacks integrated bleed resistors and requires external discharge paths | Same ultrasound/printer use cases, but adds BOM cost and layout area for 16 external 35kΩ resistors | Select MAX4802CQI when minimizing component count and board space is critical; HV232PJ only if legacy qualification mandates exact original part |
| MAX4800CQI | No bleed resistors; otherwise identical pinout, timing, and electrical specs - same PLCC-28 package and VPP/VNN ratings | Suitable for applications where capacitive loads are negligible or externally discharged; not usable where automatic bleed is required | Choose MAX4802CQI over MAX4800CQI exclusively when driving piezoelectric transducers or other high-C loads needing guaranteed discharge between cycles |
Compared with HV232PJ and MAX4800CQI, the MAX4802CQI uniquely integrates 35kΩ bleed resistors per channel - delivering measurable reductions in PCB area, BOM count, and post-pulse settling time, without compromising on high-voltage rating, on-resistance, or isolation performance.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the RGND pin on the MAX4802CQI?
The RGND pin (Pin 11) on the MAX4802CQI serves as the dedicated return path for the integrated 35kΩ bleed resistors connected to each COM and NO terminal. Unlike the main GND (Pin 13), RGND must be connected to system ground to enable automatic discharge of capacitive loads - a core differentiator of the MAX4802CQI versus MAX4800CQI and MAX4801CQI. This pin is not present on non-MAX4802 variants.
Is the MAX4802CQI a direct replacement for the Supertex HV232PJ?
Yes, the MAX4802CQI is a documented drop-in replacement for the Supertex HV232PJ in the 28-pin PLCC package. Pin assignments, timing, voltage ratings, and logic interface are identical. The key enhancement is integrated 35kΩ bleed resistors - meaning MAX4802CQI can replace HV232PJ without layout changes while eliminating 16 external resistors required by the legacy part.
What is the maximum analog signal frequency supported by the MAX4802CQI?
The MAX4802CQI supports analog signals from DC to 10MHz, as specified in its features list. At 5MHz, it achieves –77dB off-isolation and –80dB crosstalk (RL = 50Ω), making it suitable for ultrasound receive-path switching where wideband signal integrity is essential. Performance degrades above 10MHz due to increasing capacitive coupling and reduced isolation.
How does the MAX4802CQI handle power supply sequencing?
The MAX4802CQI does not require strict VDD/VPP/VNN sequencing. However, analog inputs (COM_/NO_) must either be unconnected or held within VNN to VPP during power-up and power-down to prevent latch-up. All supplies should be bypassed with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitors placed close to their respective pins - especially critical for VPP and VNN to suppress switching noise.
Can multiple MAX4802CQI devices be daisy-chained using the DOUT pin?
Yes, the DOUT pin enables daisy-chaining: connect DOUT of one MAX4802CQI to DIN of the next device. CLK, LE, and CLR lines are shared across all devices in the chain. A single 8-bit data stream shifts through the entire chain; pulsing LE low simultaneously updates all latches. This allows scalable control of up to 64+ channels using only four control lines and one data stream.
