General Description
The MAX4999 differential Hi-Speed USB analog multi-
plexer features low on-capacitance (CON) switching,
making it an ideal solution for the USB server/mass
storage market. The MAX4999 is designed for USB 2.0
low-/full-/Hi-Speed applications with capability of sup-
porting data rates up to 480Mbps.
The MAX4999 is a differential 8:1 multiplexer. The
MAX4999 features three digital inputs to control the sig-
nal path. Typical applications include switching a USB
connector between eight USB hosts and a USB device.
An enable input (EN) is provided to disable all channels
and place the device into a high-impedance state
(standby mode), shutting off the charge pump for mini-
mum power consumption.
The MAX4999 operates from a +3.0V to +3.6V power-
supply voltage and is specified over the -40°C to +85°C
extended temperature range. The MAX4999 is available
in a 5mm x 5mm, 32-pin TQFN package.

Detailed Description
The MAX4999 differential Hi-Speed USB analog multi-
plexer features low on-capacitance (CON) and low on-
resistance (RON) necessary for high-performance
switching applications. The low CON is designed for
USB server/mass storage devices. This device is ideal
for USB 2.0 Hi-Speed applications at 480Mbps, while
also meeting the requirements for USB low-/full-speed
applications.
Digital Control Inputs (C0, C1, C2)
The MAX4999 provides three digital control inputs (C0,
C1, C2) to select the analog signal path between the
COM_ and D-/D+ channels. The truth table for the
MAX4999 is shown in the
Functional Diagram/Truth
Table.
Driving the control inputs rail-to-rail minimizes
power consumption.
Enable Input (EN)
The MAX4999 features an enable input that when driven
low, places the device in standby mode. In standby
mode, all channels are high impedance and the internal
charge pump is disabled, thus minimizing the quiescent
supply current. For normal operation, drive EN high.
Analog Signal Levels
Signals applied to COM1 are routed to D_ _1 terminals.
Signals applied to COM0 are routed to D_ _0 terminals.
This multiplexer is bidirectional, allowing COM_ and
D-/D+ terminals to be configured as either inputs or
outputs. Additionally, the MAX4999 can be used for
non-USB signals if the signals fall within the normal
operating range.
The MAX4999 features an internal charge pump that
allows signal levels greater than the supply voltage.
Limit the analog input/output signal level to no more
than the
Absolute Maximum Ratings
.

Applications Information
Increasing USB Channels
The MAX4999 features an enable input that allows two
MAX4999s to be connected, allowing multiplexing
between 16 USB channels. Figure 4 shows the typical
application with a single USB common terminal multi-
plexed to eight channels (8:1). See the Eye Diagram -
Single graph in the
Typical Operating Characteristics
.
Figure 5 shows two MAX4999 devices configured with
the USB common terminal multiplexed to 16 USB chan-
nels (16:1). See the Eye Diagram - Double graph in the
Typical Operating Characteristics
. The MAX4999 was
designed to be symmetrical so that the two common
ports may be wired in parallel with very short wiring to
create a 16:1 configuration. When operating in 16:1 con-
figuration, interchange COM0 and COM1 on the second
device to reverse the D+ and D- pins. This minimizes
vias and crossovers (Figure 5).
USB Switching
The MAX4999 analog multiplexers are fully compliant
with the USB 2.0 specification. The low on-resistance
and low on-capacitance of the MAX4999 make it ideal
for high-performance switching applications.
Board Layout
Hi-Speed switches require proper layout and design pro-
cedures for optimum performance. Keep design-con-
trolled impedance PCB traces as short as possible.
Ensure that high-quality bypass ceramic capacitors
(X7R, X5R or better) are placed as close to the device as
possible and use large ground planes where possible.
