MAX4948 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX4948 evaluation kit (EV kit) evaluates the
MAX4948 hex single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) data
switch. The EV kit utilizes the MAX4948 in a Secure
Digital (SD) card application. The EV kit provides two
SD card sockets and a single SD card printed-circuit
board (PCB) plug. The supply voltage provided by the
host interface powers the MAX4948 IC and any con-
nected SD memory cards.
The MAX4948 EV kit is a customized PCB with an SD
plug designed into the board. The PCB plug is
designed to resemble an SD memory card’s mechani-
cal dimensions. The PCB plug measures 50.8mm x
24mm x 1.4mm. The mechanical specifications of an
actual SD memory card can be obtained from the SD
Card Association.

Quick Start
Recommended Equipment
Before beginning, the following equipment is needed:
• SD card reader/SD card slot
• Computer with Windows
®
98SE/2000/XP/Vista oper-
ating system
into the PCB and conforms to the dimensional stan-
dards of a thin SD memory card. The net effect is the
ability to switch between two SD memory cards on a
single SD bus.
Enable and Configuration
The EV kit is configured through jumpers JU1 and JU2.
Jumper JU2 is used to enable/disable the MAX4948
analog switches and jumper JU1 is used to switch
between the two SD card sockets, P1 and P2.
Note:
The MAX4948 EV kit does not require a driver or
software. The EV kit acts only as an SPDT switch, con-
necting one of two SD memory cards to the host’s SD
bus.
Procedure
The MAX4948 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow the steps below to verify board operation:
1) Verify that shunts are installed between each odd-and-
even pin of header J1 (i.e., between pins 1 and 2,
pins 3 and 4, etc.).
2) Verify that shunts are installed between each odd-and-
even pin of header J2 (i.e., between pins 1 and 2,
pins 3 and 4, etc.).
3) Verify that a shunt is installed across pins 1-2 of
header JU1. This connects the NO_ inputs (from
socket P1) to the COM outputs.
4) Verify that a shunt is installed across pins 1-2 of
header JU2. This powers on the analog switches.
5) Insert the SD PCB plug (P3) into the SD card read-
er/SD card slot.
6) Verify that LED1 is illuminated.
Enable (JU2)
The MAX4948 analog switch is enabled and disabled
through jumper JU2. See Table 1 for jumper JU2 functions.

Configuration (JU1)
Based on jumper JU1’s configuration, the signal lines
from one of the SD card sockets (P1 or P2) are connect-
ed to the common (COM) terminals of the analog switch-
es (COM1–COM6). The COM1–COM6 terminals are then
routed through header J2 to the SD PCB plug (P3). See
Table 2 for configuration options and Figure 1 for an
illustration of the MAX4948 analog switch connections.
Detailed Description
The MAX4948 evaluation kit (EV kit) evaluates the
MAX4948 hex SPDT data switch. The EV kit is
designed for an SD application, providing two SD sock-
ets and a single SD plug. Standard and thin SD memo-
ry cards can be inserted into the P1 and P2 sockets.
The MAX4948 is then used to switch between the two
SD memory cards, connecting one of the cards to the
SD plug. The SD plug can be inserted into any stan-
dard SD memory card slot. The SD plug is designed

SD Sockets
The two on-board SD card sockets accommodate both
a standard SD memory card and a thin SD memory
card. The pinout for each SD socket is listed in Table 3.
Header J2
The 16-pin, dual-row header (J2) connects the
COM1–COM6 terminals to the PCB plug (P3). In addi-
tion, the VDD supply voltage from the SD card reader/SD
card port is routed through J2 to each VCC pin of socket
P1 and P2. See Table 5 for a pin-to-pin association
between J2, the PCB plug, and the switches’
COM terminals.

Header J1
The 24-pin, dual-row header (J1) connects the P1 and
P2 SD sockets to the normally open (NO) and normally
closed (NC) terminals. The P1 socket is connected
through header J1 to the switches’ NO terminals
(NO1–NO6). The P2 socket is connected through head-
er J1 to the switches’ NC terminals (NC1–NC6). See
Table 4 for a pinout of header J1.
*VCC:
SD memory card supply voltage.
**VDD:
Host-interface supply voltage.
SD PCB Plug
The MAX4948 EV kit was designed on a customized
PCB to allow for actual application evaluation. The SD
plug (P3) is an extension of the PCB and can be insert-
ed into a standard SD card socket. This design allows
two SD memory cards to be switched into a single SD
card socket. See Table 6 for the SD plug’s net associa-
tions. The pinout and dimensions of the SD plug are
shown in Figures 2 and 3.
