Two-Lane and Four-Lane DisplayPort Passive
Switches with Separate AUX/HPD Control
MAX4998/MAX14998
19-5033; Rev 1; 8/10
Typical Operating Circuit appears at end of data sheet.
General Description
The MAX4998/MAX14998 high-speed passive switches
route DisplayPort™ between two possible destinations
or vice versa in laptops or desktop PCs. The MAX4998/
MAX14998 are intended to be used where ultra-high-
speed performance and minimal input capacitance is
required.
The MAX4998 has three double-pole/double-throw
(DPDT) switches and one single-pole/double-throw
(SPDT) switch. Two DPDT switches are for high-frequen-
cy switching, one DPDT switch is for AUX, and the one
SPDT switch is for HPD. The two high-frequency switches
are selected by SEL1, and the AUX and HPD are selected
by SEL2. This part is suitable for two-lane DisplayPort
switching.
The MAX14998 has six double-pole/double-throw (DPDT)
switches. Four DPDT switches are for high-frequency
switching, and two DPDT switches are for AUX and HPD.
The four high-frequency switches are selected by SEL1,
and the AUX and HPD are selected by SEL2. This part is
suitable for four-lane DisplayPort switching.
The MAX4998/MAX14998 are fully specified to operate
from a single +3.3V (typ) power supply. The MAX4998
is available in a 3.5mm x 5.5mm, 28-pin TQFN package
with exposed pad, and the MAX14998 is available in a
3.5mm x 9mm, 42-pin TQFN package with exposed pad.
Both devices operate over the -40NC to +85NC extended
temperature range.

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

noted.) (Note 3)
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Note 1: Signals on COM_, NO_, NC_, SEL1, and SEL2 exceeding VDD or GND are clamped by internal diodes. Limit forward-
diode current to the 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.

MAX4998/MAX14998
_______________________________________________________________________________________ 7
Detailed Description
The MAX4998/MAX14998 high-speed passive switches
route one DisplayPort source between two possible
destinations or vice versa. The MAX4998 is used to
switch two-lanes plus AUX/HPD DisplayPort, and the
MAX14998 is used to switch four-lanes plus AUX/HPD
DisplayPort.
The MAX4998/MAX14998 feature two digital control
inputs (SEL1, SEL2) to switch signal paths.
Digital Control Inputs (SEL1, SEL2)
The MAX4998/MAX14998 provide two digital control
inputs (SEL1, SEL2) to select the signal path between
the COM_ and NO_/NC_ channels. SEL1 selects high-
frequency switching, while SEL2 selects AUX/HPD. On
the MAX4998, switches 1 and 2 are high-frequency
switches and switches 3 and 4 are both low-frequency
switches. On the MAX14998, switches 1, 2, 3, and 4 are
high-frequency switches and switches 5 and 6 are low-
frequency switches. The truth tables for the MAX4998/
MAX14998 are depicted in the Functional Diagrams/
Truth Tables. Drive SEL_ 0V to VDD to minimize power
consumption.
Analog Signal Levels
The MAX4998/MAX14998 accept standard DisplayPort
signals to a maximum of (VDD - 1.8V). Signals on the
COM_+ channels are routed to either the NO_+ or NC_+
channels. Signals on the COM_- channels are routed
to either the NO_- or NC_- channels. The MAX4998/
MAX14998 are bidirectional switches, allowing COM_,
NO_, and NC_, to be used as either inputs or outputs.

NOTE: THE APPLICATION SHOWN IS A TWO-LANE SWITCH BETWEEN THE DOCKING STATION AND DisplayPort CONNECTOR ON A LAPTOP. SEL2 NEEDS TO BE CHANGED FIRST
WHEN SWITCHING SO THAT THE AUX/HPD SIGNAL CAN ESTABLISH CONTACT AND SET PARAMETERS THROUGH DDC. THE HPD SIGNALS FROM THE DOCKING STATION AND DP
CONNECTOR NEED TO BE INPUT THROUGH A LEVEL TRANSLATOR, SUCH AS A 7WZ07 OR 742G07 NONINVERTING TO THE MAX4998. EACH OUTPUT IS PULLED UP TO MATCH THE
LOGIC LEVEL OF THE GMCH. THE COM SIDE OF THE MAX4998 NEEDS TO BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO THE GMCH, RUNNING AT LOW VOLTAGE (APPROXIMATELY 1.1V). THIS
ESTABLISHES THE COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE FOR THE SWITCH AND KEEPS THE SWITCH WITHIN ITS OPTIMAL RANGE. IF A FOUR-LANE DisplayPort SWITCH IS DESIRED, THE
MAX14998 SHOULD BE USED. THE CIRCUIT IS THE SAME EXCEPT THAT DP0 TO DP3 IS USED WITH AUX, AND THE HPD CIRCUITRY IS THE SAME.

Applications Information
Board Layout
High-speed switches require proper layout and design
procedures for optimum performance. Keep design-
controlled impedance PCB traces as short as possible.
Ensure that power-supply bypass capacitors are placed
as close to the device as possible. Multiple bypass
capacitors are recommended. Connect all grounds and
the exposed pad to large ground planes.
