MAX14984
Enhanced VGA Port Protector with Monitor
Detection and Dual USB Power Switches
General Description
The MAX14984 is a complete VGA port protector with dual
USB power switches. The device features all the circuitry
required to detect the insertion and removal of a monitor
and automatically connect the graphics controller when a
monitor is detected. A switched 5V output provides up to
55mA to the VGA port in addition to normal VGA signals.
The MAX14984 features a single active-low enable
input to control two 5V USB switches. Each switch sup-
plies 500mA of current with less than 250mV drop from
V
CC
, and is protected against short-circuit faults. Two
active-low fault outputs indicate when a fault condition is
detected on either output.
High-bandwidth analog switches exceed VESA rise/fall
time requirements for the RGB channels. The horizontal
and vertical synchronization (H/V) buffers shift logic lev-
els to support +2.5V to +5.0V CMOS or TTL-compatible
graphics controllers while meeting the VESA drive capa-
bility requirement of
Q8mA.
An internal 2.5V regulator
and pullup resistors on the monitor side translate the
DDC voltage levels to be compatible with low-voltage
graphics controllers.
The MAX14984 features high-ESD protection of
Q8kV
Human Body Model (HBM) on all VGA and USB out-
puts. The device is available in a 24-pin (4mm x 4mm)
TQFN package and is specified over the -40NC to +85NC
extended temperature range.

Note 1:
When

, some current will be sinked (see the
Detailed Description).
Note 2:
Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to
www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional opera-
tion 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.
