Complete VGA 1:2 or 2:1 Multiplexer
General Description
The MAX4885 integrates high-bandwidth analog switches and level-translating buffers to implement a complete 1:2 or 2:1 multiplexer for VGA signals. The device provides switching for RGB, display data channel (DDC), and horizontal and vertical synchronization (HSYNC, VSYNC) signals. A low-noise charge pump with internal capacitors provides a boosted gate-drive voltage to improve performance of the RGB switches. In the 1:2 multiplexer mode, HSYNC/VSYNC inputs feature level-shifting buffers to support low-voltage CMOS or standard TTL-compatible graphics controllers. In the 2:1 multiplexer mode, the output buffers for the HSYNC/VSYNC inputs are disabled, allowing bidirectional signaling.
