High-Bandwidth, T1/E1, SPST Analog Switches
General Description
The MAX4815/MAX4816/MAX4817 high-bandwidth,
low-on-resistance, quad-SPST analog switches are
designed to serve as integrated T1/E1 protection
switches for 1+1 and N+1 line-card redundancy appli-
cations. Each MAX4815/MAX4816/MAX4817 replaces
four electromechanical relays, significantly reducing
board space, simplifying PC board routing, and reduc-
ing power consumption. These devices operate with
±3.3V or ±5V dual supplies for applications requiring
T1/E1 signal switching in the line side of the interface
transformer. Internal voltage multipliers drive the analog
switches, yielding excellent linearity and low 3.7Ω typi-
cal on-resistance within the T1/E1 analog signal range.
This high-bandwidth (550MHz typical) family of prod-
ucts is optimized for low return loss and matched pulse
template performance in T1/E1 long-haul and short-haul
applications.
The MAX4815/MAX4816/MAX4817 are available in a
tiny 16-pin, 5mm x 5mm, thin QFN package and are
specified over the extended -40°C to +85°C tempera-
ture range.

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.
