5.0Gbps PCI Express Passive Switches
Features
The MAX4888A/MAX4889A high-speed passive switches
route PCI Express® (PCIe) data between two possible
destinations. The MAX4888A is a quad single-pole/double-throw (4 x SPDT) switch ideally suited for switching
two half lanes of PCIe data between two destinations. The
MAX4889A is an octal single-pole/double-throw (8 x
SPDT) switch ideal for switching four half lanes of PCIe
data between four destinations. The MAX4888A/
MAX4889A feature a single digital control input (SEL) to
switch signal paths.
The MAX4888A/MAX4889A are fully specified to operate from a single +3.0V to +3.6V power supply††. The
MAX4888A is available in a 3.5mm x 5.5mm, 28-pin
TQFN package. The MAX4889A is available in a 3.5mm
x 9.0mm, 42-pin TQFN package. Both devices operate
over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
♦ Single +3.0V to +3.6V Power-Supply Voltage
♦ Low Same-Pair Skew of 7ps
♦ Low 120µA (Max) Quiescent Current
♦ Supports PCIe Gen I and Gen || Data Rates
♦ Flow-Through Pin Configuration for Ease of
Layout
♦ Industry-Compatible Pinout
♦ Lead-Free Packaging

Note 1: Signals on SEL, NO__, NC__ or COM__ exceeding V+ or GND 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.

Detailed Description
The MAX4888A/MAX4889A high-speed passive switches route PCIe data between two possible destinations.
The MAX4888A/MAX4889A are ideal for routing PCIe signals to change the system configuration. For example, in
a graphics application, the MAX4888A/MAX4889A create
The MAX4888A/MAX4889A accept standard PCIe signals to a maximum of V+ - 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. The MAX4888A/
MAX4889A are bidirectional switches, allowing COM__,
NO__, and NC__ to be used as either inputs or outputs.

PCIe Switching
The MAX4888A/MAX4889A primary applications are
aimed at reallocating PCIe lanes (see Figure 5). For
example, in graphics applications, several manufacturers
have found that it is possible to improve performance by
a factor of nearly two by splitting a single 16-lane PCIe
bus into two 8-lane buses. Two of the more prominent
examples are SLI™ (Scaled Link Interface) and
CrossFire™. The MAX4889A permits a computer
motherboard to operate properly with a single 16-lane
graphics card, and can later be updated to dual cards.
The same motherboard can be used with dual cards
where the user sets a jumper or a bit through software
to switch between single- or dual-card operation.
Common mode below 1V operation requirement.
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 to the device as possible. Multiple
bypass capacitors are recommended. Connect all
grounds and the exposed pad to large ground planes.
Common mode below 1V operation requirement.
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. The COM_+ and COM_- lines have extra
protection against static electricity. Maxim’s engineers
have developed state-of-the-art structures to protect
these pins against ESD of ±6kV without damage. The
ESD structures withstand ±6kV of ESD in all states: normal operation, state output mode, and powered down.
Human Body Model
The MAX4889A COM_+ and COM_- pins are characterized for ±6kV ESD protection using the Human Body
Model (MIL-STD-883, Method 3015). Figure 6 shows
the Human Body Model and Figure 7 shows the current
waveform it generates when discharged into low
impedance. This model consists of a 100pF capacitor
charged to the ESD voltage of interest, which is then
discharged into the device through a resistor.
