SuperSpeed USB Passive Switch (Low/Full/Hi/SuperSpeed)
General Description
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. 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. 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.

SuperSpeed USB Passive Switch (Low/Full/Hi/SuperSpeed) MAX14978
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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
Enable Input
Applications Information
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. 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.

SuperSpeed USB Passive Switch (Low/Full/Hi/SuperSpeed)
ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions. Contact Maxim for a reliability report that documents test setup, test methodology, and test results. 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.
ESD Test Conditions
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. 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.

Layout
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

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.
