MAXIM MAX4928AETN+

19-4030; Rev 1; 8/08
DisplayPort/PCIe Passive Switches
The MAX4928A/MAX4928B high-speed passive switches route PCI Express® (PCIe) data and/or DisplayPort™
signals between two possible destinations in desktop or
laptop PCs. The MAX4928A is intended to be used with
the ATX form factor desktop PCs, while the MAX4928B
is expected to be used in the BTX form factor.
The MAX4928A/MAX4928B are hex double-pole/double-throw (6 x DPDT) switches. The MAX4928A/
MAX4928B feature a single digital control input (SEL) to
switch signal paths and a latch input (LE) that holds the
switches in a given state.
The MAX4928A/MAX4928B are fully specified to operate from a single +3.3V (typ) power supply. The
MAX4928A/MAX4928B are available in an industry
standard 5mm x 11mm, 56-pin TQFN package. Both
devices operate over the -40°C to +85°C extended
temperature range.

Note 1: Signals on IN_, X_, OUT_, D_, TX_, HPD_, RX_, or AUX_, LE, SEL exceeding VDD or GND are clamped by internal diodes.
Limit forward-diode current to maximum current rating.
Note 2: Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a 4-layer
board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, see www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
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.

Detailed Description
The MAX4928A/MAX4928B high-speed passive switches
route PCI Express (PCIe) data and/or DisplayPort signals
between two possible destinations. The MAX4928A/
MAX4928B are ideal for routing signals between a graphics memory controller hub (GMCH) and either a
DisplayPort or PCIe connector.
The MAX4928A/MAX4928B feature a single digital control input (SEL) to switch signal paths and a latch input
(LE) that holds the switches in a given state.
Digital Control Input (SEL)
The MAX4928A/MAX4928B provide a single digital control input (SEL) to select the signal path between the
IN_ and D_/TX_, X_ and HPD_/RX1_, and OUT_ and
AUX_/RX0_ channels. The truth tables for the
MAX4928A/MAX4928B are depicted in the Functional
Diagrams/Truth Table. Drive SEL rail-to-rail to minimize
power consumption.
Latch Control Input (LE)
The MAX4928A/MAX4928B provide a single digital control input (LE) to latch the signal paths between the IN_
and D_/TX_, X_ and HPD_/RX1_, and OUT_ and
AUX_/RX0_ channels. When LE is driven high, the
switches are held in their previous state, regardless of
the input signal to SEL. Drive LE rail-to-rail to minimize
power consumption.
Analog Signal Levels
The MAX4928A/MAX4928B accept standard PCIe signals to a maximum of (VDD - 1.8V). Signals on the IN_+
channels are routed to either the D_+ or TX_+ channels,
signals on the X+ channel are routed to either HPD1 or
RX1+ channels, and signals on the OUT+ channel are
routed to either AUX+ or RX0+ channels. Signals on the
IN_- channels are routed to either the D_- or TX_- channels, signals on the X- channel are routed to either HPD2
or RX1- channels, and signals on the OUT- channel are
routed to either AUX- or RX0- channels. The
MAX4928A/MAX4928B are bidirectional switches, allowing IN_, X_, OUT_, D_, TX_, HPD_, RX_, and AUX_ to be
used as either inputs or outputs.
Applications Information
DisplayPort/PCIe Switching
The MAX4928A/MAX4928B primary applications are
aimed to switch between a GMCH and either a
DisplayPort or PCIe connector. The MAX4928A/
MAX4928B contain n-channel switches to permit differential signals to be selected between a PCIe Gen II
socket or to a DisplayPort connector. Each device handles up to six pairs of signals. The DisplayPort signal is
an AC-coupled 8b/10b encoded differential signal
ranging up to 2.7 Gbps. The PCIe Gen I and Gen II signals are AC-coupled, 8b/10b encoded differential signals ranging up to 5.0Gbps.
Board 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 PCIe 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.
