2.5/5.0/8.0Gbps PCIe Passive Switches
General Description
The MAX4889B/MAX4889C high-speed passive switch-
es route PCI Express
®
(PCIe) data between two possi-
ble destinations in desktop or notebook PCs. The
MAX4889B/MAX4889C are quad double-pole/double-
throw (4 x DPDT) switches ideal for switching four half
lanes of PCIe data between two destinations. The
MAX4889B/MAX4889C feature a single digital control
input (SEL) to switch signal paths.
The MAX4889C is intended for use in systems (e.g.,
SAS) where both the input and output are capacitively
coupled, and provides a 10µA (typ) source current and
a 60kΩ (typ) internal biasing resistor to GND at the
_OUT_ terminals.
The MAX4889B/MAX4889C are fully specified to oper-
ate from a single +3.3V (typ) power supply. Both
devices are available in an industry-standard 3.5mm x
9.0mm, 42-pin TQFN package. These devices operate
over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.

Note 1:
Signals on SEL, _IN_, _OUTA_, _OUTB_ exceeding V
CC
or GND are clamped by internal diodes. Limit forward-diode current
to maximum current rating.
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
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.
