The MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892 high-speed analog switches meet the needs of 10/100/1000 Base-T applications. These devices switch the signals from two interface transformers and connect the signals to a single 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet PHY, simplifying docking station design and reducing manufacturing costs. The MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892 can also route signals from a common interface transformer to two different boards in board-redundancy applications.
The MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892 switches provide an extremely low capacitance and on-resistance to meet Ethernet insertion and return-loss specifications. The MAX4891/MAX4892 feature one and three built-in LED switches, respectively.
The MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892 are available in space-saving 32- and 36-lead TQFN packages, significantly reducing the required PC board area. These devices operate over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
