MAXIM MAX14978

19-5573; Rev 1; 4/11
SuperSpeed USB Passive Switch
(Low/Full/Hi/SuperSpeed)
Features
The MAX14978 high-performance, passive analog switch
is ideal for switching Hi-Speed USB and SuperSpeed USB
data between one source and two loads, or vice versa. The
device can be used in desktop and notebook applications
where SuperSpeed USB ports are in limited supply. The
device consists of two sets of analog switches with one
set used for USB low-speed, full-speed, and Hi-Speed
signals and the second set used for USB SuperSpeed.
The device operates from a single +3.3V supply.
S Designed for SuperSpeed USB Applications:
Low/Full/Hi-Speed (1.5/12/480Mbps)
SuperSpeed (5.0Gbps)
S Superior Return Loss and Insertion Loss for
SuperSpeed Analog Switches
S Low Quiescent Current: 36µA (typ)
S All Link Training is Preserved (SuperSpeed)
S LVCMOS Control (1.4V P VIH P 3.6V)
The device features low insertion loss for all speeds. It
has Q6kV Human Body Model (HBM) ESD protection
on all I/O pins. In addition, the low/full/Hi-Speed COM_
ports have ESD protection to Q15kV HBM and Q8kV IEC
61000-4-2 contact.
S Operation from a Single +3.3V Power Supply
S Small, 3.5mm x 9.0mm, 42-Pin TQFN Package
Ordering Information
The device is available in a small, 3.5mm x 9.0mm,
42-pin TQFN package and is specified over the extended -40NC to +85NC temperature range.

Note 1: Signals on SEL_, NO_, NC_, or COM_ exceeding VCC, VDD, or VGND are clamped by internal diodes. Limit forward-diode
current to maximum current rating.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

All devices are 100% production tested at TA = +25NC. All temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
The switch turns off for voltages above VFP, protecting downstream circuits in case of a fault condition.
DRON(MAX) = |RON(CH1) - RON(CH2)|.
Guaranteed by design. Not production tested.
Flatness is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum value of on-resistance, as measured over specified analog-signal ranges.

Pin Description (continued)
MAX14978
SuperSpeed USB Passive Switch
(Low/Full/Hi/SuperSpeed)
Detailed Description
The MAX14978 is ideal for SuperSpeed USB and low/
full/Hi-Speed (1.5/12/480Mbps) USB switching applications. The low VIH threshold of the device permits it to
be used with logic levels as low as 1.4V. The device’s
Hi-Speed USB analog switches are based on a chargepump-assisted n-channel architecture and operate with
36FA (typ) quiescent current. The device features dual
digital control inputs (SEL_) to switch Hi-Speed USB and
SuperSpeed USB signal paths separately.
Digital Control Inputs (SEL1, SEL2)
The device’s provides dual digital control inputs (SEL1,
SEL2) to select the signal path between the COM_ and
NO_ or NC_ channels. Drive SEL1 and SEL2 rail-to-rail
to minimize power consumption. See the Functional
Diagram/Truth Table.
Analog-Signal Levels
The device’s switches are bidirectional, allowing NO_,
NC_, and COM_ to be configured as either inputs or
outputs.
The Hi-Speed USB switches are equipped with a chargepump-assisted n-channel architecture that allows the
switch to pass analog signals that exceed VCC up to the
overvoltage fault-protection threshold. This allows USB
signals that exceed VCC to pass, allowing compliance
with USB requirements for voltage levels.
The SuperSpeed USB switches accept signals on the
COM_, NO_, and NC_ channels within a range of -0.1V
to (VDD - 1.2V). Signals on the COM_+ channels are
routed to either the NO_+ or NC_+ channels, and signals
on the COM_- channels are routed to either the NO_- or
NC_- channels.
Overvoltage Fault Protection
The device features overvoltage fault protection on
COMD_. Fault protection prevents these switches from
being damaged due to shorts to the USB VBUS voltage
rail. Fault protection protects the switch and USB transceiver from damaging voltage levels. When voltages
on COMD_ exceed the fault-protection threshold (VFP),
COMD_, NCD_ and NOD_ are high impedance.
12
Enable Input
The device features a shutdown mode for the Hi-Speed
USB analog switches that reduces the VCC quiescent
current to 0.1FA (typ) and places COMD+ and COMDin high impedance. Drive EN high to place the Hi-Speed
USB analog switches in shutdown mode, and drive EN
low for normal operation.
Applications Information
USB Switching
The device’s analog switches are fully compliant with the
USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 specifications. The low on-resistance and low on-capacitance of these switches make
them ideal for high-performance switching applications.
The device is ideal for routing USB data lines and for
applications that require switching between multiple
USB hosts or devices. The device’s Hi-Speed USB analog switches also feature overvoltage fault protection to
guard systems against shorts to the USB VBUS voltage
rail that is required for all Hi-Speed USB applications.
Extended ESD Protection
As with all Maxim devices, ESD protection structures are
incorporated on all pins to protect against electrostatic
discharges encountered during handling and assembly.
COMD+ and COMD- are further protected against static
electricity. Maxim’s engineers have developed state-ofthe-art structures to protect these pins against ESD up
to Q15kV without damage. The ESD structures withstand
high ESD in normal operation and when the device is
powered down. After an ESD event, the device continues
to function without latchup.
The device is characterized for protection to the following limits:
• Q15kV using Human Body Model
• Q15kV using IEC 61000-4-2 Air Gap Discharge method
• Q8kV using IEC 61000-4-2 Contact Discharge method
Note: High ESD performance is only applicable to the
Hi-Speed USB section of the switch. The SuperSpeed
USB section is rated to Q6kV HBM.

Human Body Model
Figure 6a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure 6b
shows the current waveform it generates when discharged into a low-impedance state. This model consists
of a 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of interest, which is then discharged into the test device through
a 1.5kI resistor.
IEC 61000-4-2
The main difference between tests done using the Human
Body Model and IEC 61000-4-2 is higher peak current
in IEC 61000-4-2. Because series resistance is lower in
the IEC 61000-4-2 ESD test model (Figure 7a) the ESDwithstand voltage measured to this standard is generally

lower than that measured using the Human Body Model.
Figure 7b shows the current waveform for the Q8kV IEC
61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD Contact Discharge test.
The Air Gap Discharge test involves approaching the
device with a charged probe. The Contact Discharge
method connects the probe to the device before the
probe is energized.
Layout
High-speed switches require proper layout and design
procedures for optimum performance. Keep designcontrolled impedance PCB traces as short as possible or follow impedance layouts per the SuperSpeed
USB specification. Ensure that power-supply bypass
capacitors are placed as close as possible to the device.
Multiple bypass capacitors are recommended. Connect
all grounds and the exposed pad to large ground planes
where possible.

Package Information
Power-Supply Sequencing
Caution: Do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings because stresses beyond the listed ratings may
cause permanent damage to the device.
Proper power-supply sequencing is recommended for
all CMOS devices. Always apply VCC and VDD before
applying analog signals, especially if the analog signals
are not current limited.
