General Description
The MAX4588 low-voltage, dual 4-channel multiplexer
is designed for RF and video signal processing at fre-
quencies up to 180MHz in 50and 75systems. A
flexible digital interface allows control of on-chip func-
tions through either a parallel interface or an SPI™/
MICROWIRE™ serial port.
Each channel of the MAX4588 is designed using a “T”
switch configuration, ensuring excellent high-frequency
off-isolation. The MAX4588 has low on-resistance of
60max, with an on-resistance match across all chan-
nels of 4max. Additionally, on-resistance is flat
across the specified signal range (2max). The off-
leakage current is under 1nA at TA= +25°C, and less
than 10nA at TA= +85°C.
The MAX4588 operates from single +2.7V to +12V or
dual ±2.7V to ±6V supplies. When operating with a +5V
supply, the inputs maintain TTL- and CMOS-level com-
patibility. The MAX4588 is available in 28-pin narrow
DIP, wide SO, and space-saving SSOP packages.

Note 2: The algebraic convention is used in this data sheet; the most negative value is shown in the minimum column.
Note 3: Guaranteed by design.
Note 4: RON = RON(MAX) - RON(MIN).
Note 5: Resistance flatness is defined as the difference between the maximum and the minimum value of on-resistance as
measured over the specified analog-signal range.
Note 6: Leakage parameters are 100% tested at maximum rated hot temperature and guaranteed by correlation at TA= +25°C.
Note 7: Off isolation = 20log10 [VCOM_ / (VNC_ or VNO_)], VCOM_ = output, VNC_ or VNO_ = input to off switch.
Note 8: Between any two switches.
Note 9: Leakage testing for single-supply operation is guaranteed by testing with dual supplies.

Detailed Description
Logic-Level Translators
The MAX4588 is constructed of high-frequency “T”
switches, as shown in Figure 8. The logic-level inputs
are translated by amplifier A1 into a V+ to V- logic sig-
nal that drives amplifier A2. Amplifier A2 drives the
gates of N-channel MOSFETs N1 and N2 from V+ to V-,
turning them fully on or off. The same signal drives
inverter A3 (which drives the P-channel MOSFETs P1
and P2, turning them fully on or off) from V+ to V-, and
turns the N-channel MOSFET N3 on and off. The logic-
level threshold is determined by VLand GND.
Switch On Condition
When the switch is on, MOSFETs N1, N2, P1, and P2
are on and MOSFET N3 is off (Figure 8). The signal
path is COM_ to NO_, and because both N-channel
and P-channel MOSFETs act as pure resistances, it is
symmetrical (i.e., signals may pass in either direction).
The off MOSFET, N3, has no DC conduction, but has a
small amount of capacitance to GND. The four on
MOSFETs also have capacitance to ground that,
together with the series resistance, forms a lowpass fil-
ter. All of these capacitances are distributed evenly
along the series resistance, so they act as a transmis-
sion line rather than a simple R-C filter. The MAX4588’s
construction allows an exceptional 180MHz bandwidth
when the switches are on.
Typical attenuation in 75systems is 2.5dB and is rea-
sonably flat up to 50MHz. Higher-impedance circuits
show even lower attenuation (and vice versa), but
slightly lower bandwidth due to the increased effect of
the internal and external capacitance and the switch’s
internal resistance.

MAX4588
Figure 7. Serial Timing Diagram
Figure 8. T-Switch Construction
MAX4588
The MAX4588 is optimized for ±5V operation. Using
lower supply voltages or a single supply increases
switching time, on-resistance (and therefore on-state
attenuation), and nonlinearity.
Switch Off Condition
When the switch is off, MOSFETs N1, N2, P1, and P2
are off and MOSFET N3 is on (Figure 8). The signal
path is through the parasitic off-capacitances of the
series MOSFETs, but it is shunted to ground by N3.
This forms a highpass filter whose exact characteristics
are dependent on the source and load impedances. In
75systems, and below 10MHz, the attenuation can
exceed 80dB. This value decreases with increasing fre-
quency and increasing circuit impedances. External
capacitance and board layout have a major role in
determining overall performance.
Applications Information
Power-Supply Considerations
Overview
The MAX4588 construction is typical of many CMOS
analog switches. It has four supply pins: V+, V-, VL, and
GND. V+ and V- are used to drive the internal CMOS
switches and set the limits of the analog voltage on any
switch. Reverse ESD-protection diodes are internally
connected between each analog signal pin and both
V+ and V-. If the voltage on any pin exceeds V+ or V-,
one of these diodes will conduct. During normal opera-
tion these reverse-biased ESD diodes leak, forming the
only current drawn from V- and V+.
Virtually all the analog leakage current is through the
ESD diodes. Although the ESD diodes on a given sig-
nal pin are identical, and therefore fairly well balanced,
they are reverse-biased differently. Each is biased by
either V+ or V- and the analog signal. This means their
leakages vary as the signal varies. The difference in the
two diode leakages from the signal path to the V+ and
V- pins constitutes the analog signal-path leakage cur-
rent. All analog leakage current flows to the supply ter-
minals, not to the other switch terminal. This explains
how both sides of a given switch can show leakage
currents of either the same or opposite polarity.
There is no connection between the analog signal
paths and GND. The analog signal paths consist of an
N-channel and P-channel MOSFET with their sources
and drains paralleled and their gates driven out of
phase with V+ and V- by the logic-level translators.
VLand GND power the internal logic and logic-level
translators, and set the input logic thresholds. The
logic-level translators convert the logic levels to
switched V+ and V- signals to drive the gates of the
analog switches. This drive signal is the only connec-
tion between the logic supplies and the analog sup-
plies.
Bipolar-Supply Operation
The MAX4588 operates with bipolar supplies between
±2.7V and ±6V. The V+ and V- supplies are not required
to be symmetrical, but their sum cannot exceed the
absolute maximum rating of 13.0V. Do not connect the
MAX4588 V+ pin to +3V and connect the logic-level
input pins to +5V logic-level signals. This level
exceeds the absolute maximum ratings, and may
cause damage to the part and/or external circuits.
CAUTION: The absolute maximum V+ to V- differen-
tial voltage is 13.0V. Typical “±6-Volt” or “12-Volt”
supplies with ±10% tolerances can be as high as
13.2V. This voltage can damage the MAX4588. Even
±5% tolerance supplies may have overshoot or
noise spikes that exceed 13.0V.
Single-Supply Operation
The MAX4588 operates from a single supply between
+2.7V and +12V when V- is connected to GND.
Observe all of the precautions listed in the
Bipolar-
Supply Operation
section. Note, however, that these
parts are optimized for ±5V operation, and AC and DC
characteristics are degraded significantly when operat-
ing at less than ±5V. As the overall supply voltage (V+
to V-) is reduced, switching speed, on-resistance, off-
isolation, and distortion are degraded (see
Typical
Operating Characteristics
).
Single-supply operation also limits signal levels and
interferes with grounded signals. When V- = 0, AC sig-
nals are limited to -0.3V. Voltages below -0.3V can be
clipped by the internal ESD-protection diodes, and the
parts can be damaged if excessive current flows.
Power Off
When power to the MAX4588 is off (i.e., V+ = 0 and V-
= 0), the
Absolute Maximum Ratings
still apply. This
means that none of the MAX4588 pins can exceed
±0.3V. Voltages beyond ±0.3V cause the internal ESD-
protection diodes to conduct, with potentially cata-
strophic consequences.
Power-Supply Sequencing
When applying power to the MAX4588, follow this
sequence: V+, V- (if biased to potential other than
ground), VL, then logic inputs. Apply signals on the
analog NO_ and COM_ pins any time after V+, V-, and
GND voltages are set. Turning on all pins simultaneous-
ly is acceptable only if the circuit design guarantees
concurrent power-up.
Low-Voltage, High-Isolation,
Dual 4-Channel RF/Video Multiplexer
14 ______________________________________________________________________________________
The power-down sequence is the opposite of the
power-up sequence. That is, the VLand logic inputs
must go to zero potential before (or simultaneously
with) the V- then V+ supplies. The
Absolute Maximum
Ratings
must always be observed in order to ensure
proper operation.
Grounding
DC Ground Considerations
Satisfactory high-frequency operation requires that
careful consideration be given to grounding. For most
applications, a ground plane is strongly recom-
mended, and all GND pins must connect to it with
solid copper. While the V+ and V- power-supply pins
are common to all switches in a given package, each
input is separated with ground pins that are not inter-
nally connected to each other. This contributes to the
overall high-frequency performance by reducing chan-
nel-to-channel crosstalk. All the GND pins have ESD
diodes to V+ and V-.
In systems that have separate digital and analog (sig-
nal) grounds, connect all GND pins to analog signal
ground. Preserving a good signal ground is much more
important than preserving a digital ground. Ground cur-
rent is only a few nanoamperes.
The digital inputs have voltage thresholds determined by
VLand GND (V- does not influence the logic-level thresh-
old). With +5V applied to VL, the threshold is about 1.6V,
ensuring compatibility with TTL- and CMOS-logic drivers.
AC Ground and Bypassing
A ground plane is mandatory for satisfactory high-
frequency operation. Prototyping using hand wiring or
wire-wrap boards is not recommended. Connect all
GND pins to the ground plane with solid copper. (The
GND pins extend the high-frequency ground through
the package wire-frame, into the silicon itself, thus
improving isolation.) Make the ground plane solid metal
underneath the device, without interruptions. There
should be no traces under the device itself. For DIP
packages, this applies to both sides of a two-sided
board. Failure to observe this has a minimal effect on
the “on” characteristics of the switch at high frequen-
cies, but will degrade the off-isolation and crosstalk.
When using the MAX4588’s SO package on PC boards
with a buried ground plane, connect each GND pin to the
ground plane with a separate via. Do not share this via
with any other ground path. Providing a ground via on
both sides of the SMT land further enhances the off-isola-
tion by lowering the parasitic inductance. The DIP pack-
age can have the through-holes directly tied to the buried
plane, or thermally relieved as required to meet manufac-
turability requirements. Again, do not use the through-
hole pads as the current path for any other components.
Bypass all V+ and V- pins to the ground plane with sur-
face-mount 0.01µF capacitors. Locate these capacitors
as close as possible to the pins on the same side of the
board as the device. Do not use feedthroughs or vias
for bypass capacitors. If board layout dictates that the
bypass capacitors are mounted on the opposite side of
the PC board, use short feedthroughs or vias, directly
under the V+ and V- pins. Use multiple vias if possible.
If V- is 0, connect it directly to the ground plane with
solid copper. Keep all traces short.
Signal Routing
Keep all signal leads as short as possible. Separate all
signal leads from each other, and keep them away from
any other traces that could induce interference.
Separating the signal traces with generously sized
ground wires also helps minimize interference. Routing
signals via coaxial cable, terminated as close to the
MAX4588 as possible, provides the highest isolation.
Board Layout
IC sockets degrade high-frequency performance and
should not be used if signal bandwidth exceeds 5MHz.
Surface-mount parts, having shorter internal lead
frames, provide the best high-frequency performance.
Keep all bypass capacitors close to the device, and
separate all signal leads with ground planes. Such
grounds tend to be wedge-shaped as they get closer to
the device. Use vias to connect the ground planes on
each side of the board, and place the vias in the apex of
the wedge-shaped grounds that separate signal leads.
Logic-level signal lead placement is not critical.
Impedance Matching
The MAX4588 is intended for use in 75systems,
where the inputs are terminated external to the IC and
the COM terminals see an impedance of 600or high-
er. The MAX4588 can operate in 50and 75systems
with terminations through the IC. However, variations in
RON and RON flatness cause nonlinearities.
Crosstalk and Off-Isolation
The graphs shown in
Typical Operating Characteristics
for crosstalk and off-isolation are taken on adjacent
channels. The adjacent channel is the worst-case con-
dition. For example, NO1 has the worst off-isolation to
COM1 due to their proximity. Furthermore, NO1 has the
most crosstalk to NO2, and the least crosstalk to NO4.
Choosing channels wisely necessitates separating the
most sensitive channels from the most offensive.
Conversely, the above information also applies to the
NO5–NO8 inputs to the COM2 pin.

MAX4588
Power-On Reset (POR)
The MAX4588 has internal circuitry to guarantee a
known state on power-up. In the default state, A0 = A1
= A2 = 0, disable = 1, and all switches are off. This
state is equivalent to asserting RS during normal opera-
tion.
Serial Operation
The serial mode is activated by driving the SER/PAR
input pin to a logic high. The data is then entered using a
normal SPI/MICROWIRE write operation. Refer to Figure
7 for a detailed diagram of the serial-interface logic.
There are four flip-flops in the shift register, with the out-
put of the fourth shift register being output on the DOUT
pin. Note: DOUT changes on the rising edge of SCLK.
This allows cascading of multiple MAX4588s using only
one chip-select line. For example, one 16-bit write could
load the shift registers of four cascaded MAX4588s. The
data from the shift register is moved to the internal con-
trol latches only upon the rising edge of CS, so all four
MAX4588s change state simultaneously.
Parallel Operation
The parallel mode is activated by driving SER/PAR to a
logic low. The MAX4588 is programmed by a latched
parallel bus scheme. Refer to Figure 6 for a detailed
diagram of the parallel-interface logic. Note that 4/8is
not latched. It is best to hard-wire 4/8to a known state
for the desired mode of operation, or to use a dedicat-
ed microcontroller port pin.
