Triple Video Switch
General Description
The MAX4887 triple, high-frequency switch is intended
for notebooks and monitors to permit RGB signals to be
switched from one driver to one of two loads (1:2) or one
of two sources to be connected to one load (2:1). The
MAX4887 high-performance switch utilizes n-channel
architecture with internal high-drive pullup from a low-
noise charge pump, resulting in very low on-capacitance.
The MAX4887 features 5Ω (typ) on-resistance switches
with 10pF on-capacitances for routing RGB video sig-
nals. A logic input enables or disables the internal
charge pump for optimal frequency performances when
operating at lower input voltages resulting in standby
supply current less than 3µA. All RGB inputs/outputs are
ESD protected to ±8kV Human Body Model (HBM) and
feature a global input (EN) that places all inputs and out-
puts in a high-impedance state.
The MAX4887 is available in a small 3mm x 3mm, 16-
pin TQFN package for ease of assembly and
flowthrough layout, resulting in minimum space require-
ment and simplicity in board layout. The MAX4887
operates over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Note 1:
Signals 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.
