General Description
The MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892 high-speed analog
switches meet the needs of 10/100/1000 Base-T appli-
cations. These devices switch the signals from two
interface transformers and connect the signals to a sin-
gle 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 tem-
perature range.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
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.
