Product details
Overview
MAX4854ETE+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad SPST analog switch IC designed for high-fidelity USB 2.0 full-speed (12Mbps) data path switching, featuring 7Ω typical on-resistance, 30pF on-capacitance, and over-rail signal handling up to +5.5V with as low as +2V supply. It supports bidirectional D+/D− signal routing in USB multiplexing applications while maintaining sub-1ns channel-to-channel skew.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4854ETE+ datasheet, MAX4854ETE+ pinout, MAX4854ETE+ application, or MAX4854ETE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail analog signal support, 150MHz −3dB bandwidth, 1.8V logic compatibility, low charge injection (8pC), and TQFN-16 (3mm × 3mm) package suitability for space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4854ETE+ implements four independent CMOS-based SPST switches with matched on-resistance (ΔRON ≤ 0.5Ω) and ultra-low off-isolation (−80dB at 100kHz). Its over-rail architecture enables analog signals exceeding VCC-up to +5.5V-to pass without clipping or distortion, even when powered from +2.0V.
Each switch features 1.8V-tolerant digital control inputs (VIH = 1.4V min at VCC = +2V), <0.01µA supply current, and guaranteed timing performance: tON/tOFF ≤ 100ns/60ns over −40°C to +85°C. The device uses no internal level shifters-logic and analog domains share ground-referenced thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (RON) | 7Ω typical at VCC = +3V, enabling minimal voltage drop (<70mV at 10mA) and low insertion loss in USB signal paths. |
| −3dB Bandwidth | 150MHz, supporting clean transmission of USB 2.0 full-speed harmonics without attenuation. |
| Supply range | +2.0V to +5.5V single supply-allows direct integration into 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V systems without external regulators. |
| Over-rail capability | Passes analog signals up to +5.5V regardless of VCC (≥+2V), eliminating need for external clamping or level-shifting in mixed-voltage USB hubs. |
| Logic compatibility | 1.8V-input-compatible control pins (VIH = 1.4V min at VCC = +2V), enabling direct interface with low-voltage microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| Charge injection | 8pC maximum-minimizes glitch-induced data corruption during hot-swap or dynamic reconfiguration of USB ports. |
| Off-isolation | −80dB at 100kHz-ensures >10,000:1 signal rejection between inactive channels, critical for noise-sensitive data routing. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4854ETE+ is housed in a 16-pin, 3mm × 3mm thin QFN package with exposed thermal pad (EP) that must be soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal performance and EMI suppression.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5, 7, 10 | NO1–NO4 | Normally open analog terminals-connect to downstream USB data lines (e.g., D+/D− of alternate ports) only when corresponding IN_ is high. |
| 4, 8, 12, 16 | COM1–COM4 | Common analog terminals-tie to upstream USB transceiver D+/D− pairs; bidirectional signal flow supported. |
| 3, 9, 13, 15 | IN1–IN4 | Digital control inputs-TTL/CMOS-compatible; drive high to close respective switch, low to open; tolerate up to +5.5V regardless of VCC. |
| 6 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference-must be low-impedance connection; shared with EP for thermal and noise control. |
| 14 | VCC | Single positive supply input-requires local 0.01µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for stable switching transients. |
| 2, 11 | N.C. | No internal connection-leave unconnected; no pull-up/down or routing required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad SPST architecture with matched RON | Enables simultaneous, independent switching of two USB differential pairs (D+/D− per port) with <1ns skew-critical for USB packet integrity. |
| Over-rail analog signal handling | Supports D+/D− signals up to +5.5V even at VCC = +2.0V-eliminates external voltage translators in dual-supply USB host/device arbitration. |
| Low 30pF COM on-capacitance | Minimizes signal rise-time degradation and crosstalk in high-speed USB traces-preserves eye diagram margin at 12Mbps. |
| Sub-100ns turn-on time | Allows dynamic USB port reconfiguration within USB reset timing budgets (<10ms), enabling seamless peripheral switching. |
| 1.8V logic-compatible inputs | Permits direct interfacing with modern low-voltage SoCs and PMICs without level-shifter ICs-reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Multiplexer | Mobile Device Docking |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TS3USB30E | Triple SPST, 6Ω RON, 1.8V–4.3V supply, no over-rail capability (max analog = VCC). | Limited to single-supply USB 2.0 routing; cannot handle mixed-voltage D+/D− signals above VCC. | Choose TS3USB30E only if all signal sources and loads operate strictly within VCC range and quad density is not required. |
| ADG732BRUZ | 32-channel SPST, 4.5Ω RON, 2.7V–5.5V supply, 100MHz bandwidth, no over-rail support. | Higher channel count but lower bandwidth and no >VCC signal tolerance-unsuitable for USB 2.0 full-speed. | Select ADG732BRUZ for general-purpose low-voltage multiplexing where USB speed and over-rail operation are irrelevant. |
Compared with TS3USB30E and ADG732BRUZ, the MAX4854ETE+ uniquely delivers quad-channel USB 2.0 routing with guaranteed over-rail operation, sub-1ns skew, and 150MHz bandwidth-making it the only drop-in solution for mixed-voltage USB arbitration without redesigning signal conditioning.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage the MAX4854ETE+ can switch when powered from +2.0V?
The MAX4854ETE+ supports analog signals up to +5.5V-even when VCC = +2.0V-due to its over-rail architecture. This allows D+/D− signals from 5V USB hosts to pass through unclipped to 2.5V or 3.3V peripherals without external level shifting, preserving signal integrity and simplifying system design.
Does the MAX4854ETE+ require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its IN1–IN4 control pins?
No, the MAX4854ETE+ does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on IN1–IN4. Its digital inputs have rail-to-rail compatible thresholds (VIH = 1.4V min at VCC = +2V; VIH = 1.8V min at VCC = +5.5V) and <0.5µA leakage, allowing direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs without biasing components-reducing BOM cost and board area.
Can the MAX4854ETE+ be used to switch USB 3.0 SuperSpeed signals?
No, the MAX4854ETE+ is not suitable for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (5Gbps) signals. Its 150MHz −3dB bandwidth and 12Mbps-rated architecture are optimized for USB 2.0 full-speed operation only. Attempting to route SuperSpeed differential pairs would result in severe signal degradation, jitter accumulation, and link training failure.
How is thermal performance managed in the MAX4854ETE+'s 3mm × 3mm TQFN package?
The MAX4854ETE+ uses an exposed thermal pad (EP) that must be soldered directly to a solid PCB ground plane. This provides low-thermal-resistance conduction path-enabling continuous power dissipation up to 1667mW at +70°C ambient-and reduces junction temperature rise during sustained switching, ensuring reliable operation across −40°C to +85°C.
Is the MAX4854ETE+ pin-compatible with earlier MAX4854 variants such as MAX4854EEE+?
Yes, the MAX4854ETE+ is pin-compatible with MAX4854EEE+ and other MAX4854 variants in the same 16-pin TQFN package. All share identical pinout, electrical specifications, and thermal pad configuration-allowing drop-in replacement without PCB layout changes, provided the target temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) matches the application requirements.
