High-Bandwidth, T1/E1, SPST Analog Switches
General Description
The MAX4815/MAX4816/MAX4817 high-bandwidth, low-on-resistance, quad-SPST analog switches are designed to serve as integrated T1/E1 protection switches for 1+1 and N+1 line-card redundancy applications. Each MAX4815/MAX4816/MAX4817 replaces four electromechanical relays, significantly reducing board space, simplifying PC board routing, and reducing power consumption. These devices operate with ±3.3V or ±5V dual supplies for applications requiring T1/E1 signal switching in the line side of the interface transformer. Internal voltage multipliers drive the analog switches, yielding excellent linearity and low 3.7Ω typical on-resistance within the T1/E1 analog signal range.
