Note to Editor:
- he MAX4996/MAX4996L are triple double-pole/double-throw (DPDT) switches for multiplexing high-frequency signals.
- These switches are capable of multiplexing SDHC (SD 2.0) and SDIO interfaces.
- To enable this high-frequency switching for SDHC/SDIO interfaces, these switches feature a high channel count, low on-resistance, and low on-capacitance.
- The MAX4996/MAX4996L are ideal for portable applications such as cell phones, PDAs, and PMPs.
SUNNYVALE, CA—May 19, 2008—Maxim Integrated Products (PINK OTC MARKETS: MXIM) introduces the MAX4996/MAX4996L triple double-pole/double-throw (DPDT) switches for multiplexing high-frequency signals up to 670MHz. To enable high-frequency switching, these switches feature low on-resistance (2.0Ω, typ), low on-capacitance (6pF, typ), and low power consumption (3 microamps, typ). Additionally, the MAX4996/MAX4996L provide three logic inputs to control the switches in pairs. Consuming only 10 microamps (max) supply current when the logic inputs are not rail-to-rail, these switches are well suited for applications that must interface directly with low-voltage processors. The high-frequency switching of the MAX4996/MAX4996L enables multiplexing SDHC™ (SD 2.0) and SDIO interfaces, making these devices ideal for portable applications such as cell phones, PDAs, and portable media players (PMPs).
Available in a space-saving, 3.5mm x 3.5mm, 24-pin TQFN package, the MAX4996/MAX4996L operate from a 2.5V to 5.5V supply-voltage range and are fully specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range. Prices start at $1.80 (1000-up, FOB USA).
