Product details
Overview
MAX4803ETN+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel, high-voltage, low-charge-injection SPST analog switch IC designed for ultrasound imaging transducer multiplexing and industrial printer head control. It supports VPP/VNN supplies up to +100V/–100V (200V total), delivers 22Ω typical on-resistance, –77dB off-isolation at 5MHz, and operates with digital interface voltage VDD from +2.7V to +13.2V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4803ETN+ datasheet, MAX4803ETN+ pinout, MAX4803ETN+ application, or MAX4803ETN+ equivalent, key selection criteria include high-voltage analog signal range (VNN +10V to VPP –10V), integrated bleed resistors for capacitive load discharge, daisy-chainable serial interface, power-on reset behavior, and compatibility with Supertex HV232 in TQFN-48 packaging.
Technical Context
The MAX4803ETN+ implements an 8-bit serial shift register with transparent latch, controlled via DIN, CLK, LE (active-low), and CLR inputs. All digital inputs tolerate up to +13.2V independent of VDD, enabling direct interfacing with higher-voltage microcontrollers. The device uses BCDMOS process technology to achieve low charge injection (350pC) and low on-capacitance (4–18pF off, 20–56pF on).
It supports flexible high-voltage supply configurations: +100V/–100V, +185V/–15V, or +40V/–160V - with VPP – VNN ≤ 200V enforced. Each channel features matched COM/NO terminals, and the MAX4803ETN+ variant includes integrated 35kΩ bleed resistors tied to RGND for automatic discharge of piezoelectric transducer capacitance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VPP/VNN Supply Range | +40V to +185V / –15V to –160V; enables asymmetric high-voltage biasing up to 200V differential for ultrasound transmit/receive paths. |
| On-Resistance (RONS) | 22Ω typical at +100V/–100V, 5mA; ensures minimal signal attenuation and thermal rise in high-power analog switching. |
| Off-Isolation | –77dB at 5MHz; suppresses crosstalk between active and inactive channels in multi-element transducer arrays. |
| Charge Injection | 350pC typical; minimizes voltage glitch on sensitive analog nodes during switching, critical for precision echo signal integrity. |
| Switching Frequency | 50kHz max output switching frequency; supports rapid beam steering and pulse sequencing in real-time imaging systems. |
| Digital Input Tolerance | +13.2V tolerant DIN/CLK/LE/CLR; eliminates level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with 5V or 12V controllers. |
| Power-On Reset | Ensures all 8 switches default to open state at startup; prevents unintended high-voltage connection during system initialization. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4803ETN+ is housed in a 48-pin TQFN package (7mm × 7mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed paddle connected to VNN for thermal management. Pin functions are identical to MAX4802CCM/MAX4802CTM per Maxim's pin compatibility documentation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COM0–COM7 | Analog common terminals | Eight independent high-voltage switch inputs; each connects to transducer element or print head driver node. |
| NO0–NO7 | Analog normally-open terminals | Eight corresponding outputs routed to HV amplifier or bias network; open-circuit until enabled via serial latch. |
| VPP / VNN | High-voltage supply rails | Supports ±100V operation; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitors placed near pins to stabilize transient current demands. |
| VDD | Digital supply | +2.7V to +13.2V logic rail; powers internal shift register, latch, and interface logic without affecting analog performance. |
| DIN / CLK / LE / CLR | Serial control interface | 4-wire daisy-chainable interface; LE active-low loads shift register into latch; CLR high resets all switches open. |
| DOUT | Serial data output | Enables cascading multiple devices; outputs DIN delayed by 8 clocks, supporting synchronized multi-chip configuration. |
| RGND | Bleed resistor reference | Internal connection point for 35kΩ bleed resistors on all COM/NO terminals; must be externally tied to system ground or bias reference. |
| GND | Digital ground | Logic ground reference; separate from RGND to avoid noise coupling into analog discharge path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 35kΩ bleed resistors | Discharges piezoelectric transducer capacitance automatically after switch turn-off, eliminating external RC networks and reducing board area. |
| Low-charge-injection (350pC) | Minimizes voltage disturbance on high-impedance analog nodes, preserving signal fidelity in receive-path ultrasound front-ends. |
| DC to 10MHz analog bandwidth | Supports wideband ultrasonic pulse transmission and reception without amplitude or phase distortion across clinical imaging frequencies. |
| Pin-compatible with HV232 | Enables drop-in replacement of Supertex HV232 in existing TQFP-48 layouts; same pin mapping and functional behavior simplifies redesign. |
| Power-on reset (POR) | Guarantees fail-safe open-state initialization, preventing inadvertent high-voltage short circuits during power-up sequencing. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supertex HV232FG | Same pinout and function; lacks integrated bleed resistors and requires external 35kΩ resistors to RGND. | Requires PCB layout changes for external bleed network; not suitable for space-constrained ultrasound modules. | Select MAX4803ETN+ when minimizing external components and board area is critical for medical-grade miniaturization. |
| Maxim MAX4802CCM | Identical electrical specs and pinout; differs only in TQFP-48 package vs. MAX4803ETN+'s TQFN-48; same RGND and bleed resistor implementation. | TQFP offers easier rework and visual inspection; TQFN provides superior thermal performance and smaller footprint. | Choose MAX4803ETN+ for thermally demanding, high-density ultrasound PCBs where exposed paddle-to-VNN improves heat dissipation. |
Compared with HV232FG, MAX4803ETN+ eliminates external bleed resistors and reduces component count; compared with MAX4802CCM, it delivers identical functionality in a thermally optimized TQFN package ideal for compact medical electronics.

FAQ
What high-voltage supply configurations does the MAX4803ETN+ support?
The MAX4803ETN+ supports three standard VPP/VNN combinations: +100V/–100V, +185V/–15V, and +40V/–160V - all constrained by VPP – VNN ≤ 200V. It tolerates asymmetric supplies, enabling optimization for specific transducer bias requirements. The MAX4803ETN+ maintains specified RONS, isolation, and timing across these ranges, verified per its Electrical Characteristics table.
Does the MAX4803ETN+ require external bleed resistors?
No. The MAX4803ETN+ integrates 35kΩ bleed resistors on every COM and NO terminal, connected internally to the RGND pin. This eliminates the need for external resistors used in alternatives like HV232, reducing bill-of-materials count and PCB area. RGND must be externally connected to system ground or a defined reference potential for proper discharge operation.
How does the serial interface of the MAX4803ETN+ enable daisy-chaining?
The MAX4803ETN+ features a DOUT pin that outputs the DIN signal delayed by eight clock cycles. By connecting DOUT of one device to DIN of the next, and sharing CLK, LE, and CLR lines, up to dozens of MAX4803ETN+ units can be cascaded. A single 8×N-bit data stream configures all devices, and pulsing LE simultaneously updates all latches - enabling synchronized switching across large transducer arrays.
What is the purpose of the RGND pin on the MAX4803ETN+?
The RGND pin on the MAX4803ETN+ serves as the reference node for its integrated 35kΩ bleed resistors. All bleed resistors connect each COM and NO terminal to RGND. Unlike GND (digital ground), RGND is isolated to prevent switching noise from coupling into the discharge path. It must be externally tied to a clean, low-impedance reference - typically system ground - to ensure reliable capacitive load discharge.
Is the MAX4803ETN+ a direct replacement for Supertex HV232?
Yes. The MAX4803ETN+ is explicitly documented as a drop-in replacement for Supertex HV232 in TQFP and TQFN packages. Its pinout, logic interface, electrical specifications (including RONS, isolation, and timing), and functional behavior match HV232 - with the added benefit of integrated bleed resistors. No PCB layout changes are required when upgrading from HV232 to MAX4803ETN+ in compatible packages.
