The MAX4506/MAX4507 multiple, two-terminal signal-line protectors are pin-compatible with the industry-standard MAX366/MAX367. These new circuit protectors feature fault-protected inputs and rail-to-rail signal handling capability. The input pins are protected from overvoltage faults up to ±36V with power on or ±40V with power off. During a fault condition, the input terminal becomes an open circuit and only nanoamperes of leakage current flow from the source; but the switch output (OUT_) furnishes typically 19mA from the appropriate polarity supply to the load. This ensures unambiguous rail-to-rail outputs when a fault begins and ends.The MAX4506 contains three independent protectors while the MAX4507 contains eight independent protectors. They can protect both unipolar and bipolar analog signals using either unipolar (+9V to +36V) or bipolar (±8V to ±18V) power supplies.These devices have no logic control inputs; the protectors are designed to be always-on when the supplies are on. On-resistance is 100Ω max and matched within 7Ω , and on-leakage is less than 0.5nA at TA = +25°C. The MAX4506 is available in 8-pin SO/DIP packages. The MAX4507 is available in 20-pin SSOP and 18-pin SO/DIP packages.ApplicationsAutomated Test Equipment (ATE)Data Acquisition SystemsHot-Insertion Boards/SystemsProcess Control SystemsRedundant/Backup SystemsSensitive Instruments

The MAX4545/MAX4546/MAX4547 are low-voltage T-switches designed for switching RF and video signals from DC to 300MHz in 50Ω and 75Ω systems. The MAX4545 contains four normally open single-pole/single-throw (SPST) switches. The MAX4546 contains two dual SPST switches (one normally open, one normally closed.) The MAX4547 contains two single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) switches.Each switch is constructed in a 'T'configuration, ensuring excellent high-frequency off isolation and crosstalk of -80dB at 10MHz. They can handle rail-to-rail analog signals in either direction. On-resistance (20Ω max) is matched between switches to 1Ω max and is flat (0.5Ω max) over the specified signal range, using ±5V supplies. The off leakage current is less than 5nA at +25°C and 50nA at +85°C.These CMOS switches can operate with dual power supplies ranging from ±2.7V to ±6V or a single supply between +2.7V and +12V. All digital inputs have 0.8V/2.4V logic thresholds, ensuring both TTL- and CMOS-logic compatibility when using ±5V or a single +5V supply.ApplicationsAutomated Test Equipment (ATE)High-Speed Data AcquisitionNetworkingRF SwitchingTest EquipmentVideo Signal Routing

The MAX5160/MAX5161 linear-taper digital potentiometers perform the same function as a mechanical potentiometer or a variable resistor. They consist of a fixed resistor and a wiper contact with 32 tap points that are digitally controlled by three lines for the 8-pin MAX5160 or by two lines for the 6-pin MAX5161.These parts are ideal for applications requiring digitally controlled resistors. Three resistance values are available for each part type: 50kΩ,100kΩ, and 200kΩ. A nominal resistor temperature coefficient of 50ppm/°C end-to-end and only 5ppm/°C ratiometric makes the MAX5160 ideal for applications requiring a low-temperature-coefficient variable resistor, such as low-tempco, adjustable-gain circuit configurations.The MAX5160 is available in an 8-pin µMAX package, and the MAX5161 is available in a 6-pin SOT23 package. Both devices are guaranteed over the extended-industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).ApplicationsLCD Screen AdjustmentMechanical Potentiometer ReplacementsVolume Control

The MAX560/MAX561 are the first +3.3V-powered devices to implement the EIA/TIA-562 standard, which guarantees interoperability with RS-232 interfaces. The MAX560/MAX561 are guaranteed to operate with a +3.0V power supply at a 20kbits/sec data rate while maintaining ±3.7V EIA/TIA-562 signal levels.The MAX560/MAX561 include four line drivers, five receivers, a shutdown mode, and a receiver-enable input. An on-board charge-pump voltage converter converts the +3.3V input to the ±6.6V needed to comply with the EIA/TIA-562 output levels. The MAX560 has an active-low shutdown and an active-high receiver enable. In shutdown mode, two receivers are active, allowing unidirectional communication for peripheral monitoring. The MAX561 has an active-high shutdown and an active-low receiver enable. In shutdown mode, all receivers are in a high-impedance, three-state mode.The MAX560/MAX561 are available in a standard 28-pin wide small outline (SO) package and a 28-pin shrink small outline package (SSOP), which requires 40% of the board space of the SO package. Each operates with four 1µF capacitors, further reducing board space.

The MAX125/MAX126 are high-speed, multichannel,14-bit data-acquisition systems (DAS) with simultaneoustrack/holds (T/Hs). These devices contain a 14-bit, 3µs,successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter(ADC), a +2.5V reference, a buffered reference input,and a bank of four simultaneous-sampling T/H amplifiersthat preserve the relative phase information of thesampled inputs. The MAX125/MAX126 have two multiplexedinputs for each T/H, allowing a total of eightinputs. In addition, the converter is overvoltage tolerantto ±17V; a fault condition on any channel will not harmthe IC. Available input ranges are ±5V (MAX125) and±2.5V (MAX126).An on-board sequencer converts one to four channelsper active-low CONVST pulse. In the default mode, one T/H output(CH1A) is converted. An interrupt signal (active-low INT) is providedafter the last conversion is complete. Convert two,three, or four channels by reprogramming theMAX125/MAX126 through the bidirectional parallelinterface. Once programmed, the MAX125/MAX126continue to convert the specified number of channelsper active-low CONVST pulse until they are reprogrammed.The channels are converted sequentially, beginning withCH1. The INT signal always follows the end of the lastconversion in a conversion sequence. The ADC convertseach assigned channel in 3µs and stores theresult in an internal 14x4 RAM. Upon completion of theconversions, data can be accessed by applying successivepulses to the active-low RD pin. Four successive readsaccess four data words sequentially.The parallel interface's data-access and bus-releasetiming specifications are compatible with most populardigital signal processors and 16-bit/32-bit microprocessors,so the MAX125/MAX126 conversion results can beaccessed without resorting to wait states.ApplicationsDigital Signal Processing (DSP)Multiphase Motor ControlPower-Factor MonitoringPower-Grid SynchronizationVibration and Waveform Analysis

The MAX1602 DC power-switching IC contains a network of low-resistance MOSFET switches that deliver selectable VCC and VPP voltages to a single CardBus or PC Card host socket. Key features include low-resistance switches, small packaging, soft-switching action, and compliance with PCMCIA specifications for 3V/5V switching. 3.3V-only power switching for fast, 32-bit CardBus applications is supported in two ways: low-resistance 3.3V switches allow high 3.3V load currents (up to 1A); and completely independent internal charge pumps let the 3.3V switch operate normally, even if the +5V and +12V supplies are disconnected or turned off to conserve power. The internal charge pumps are regulating types that draw reduced input current when the VCC switches are static. Power consumption is automatically reduced to 11µA max when the outputs are high-Z or GND.Other key features include guaranteed specifications for output current limit level, and guaranteed specifications for output rise/fall times (in compliance with PCMCIA specifications). Reliability is enhanced by thermal-overload protection, accurate current limiting, an overcurrent-fault flag output, and undervoltage lock-outs. The CMOS/TTL-logic interface is flexible, and can tolerate logic input levels in excess of the positive supply rail.The MAX1602 fits a complete CardBus/PCMCIA switch into a space-saving, 16-pin QSOP package.ApplicationsData LoggingDocking StationsHandy TerminalsPCMCIA Read/Write Drives

The MAX4987AE are overvoltage protection devices with built-in ESD protection for USB data lines. These devices feature a low 100mΩ (typ) RON internal nFET switch and protect low-voltage systems against voltage faults up to +28V. When the input voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold or decreases below the under-voltage threshold, the internal nFET switch is turned off to prevent damage to the protected components.All switches feature a minimum 1.5A current-limit protection. During a short-circuit occurrence, the switch operates in an autoretry mode where the internal nFET switch is turned on to check if the fault has been removed. The autoretry interval is 30ms, and if the fault is removed, the nFET switch remains on.The MAX4987AE feature low-capacitance (3pF) ESD protection for USB data lines that allow transmission of high-speed USB 2.0 signals.The overvoltage threshold (OVLO) is preset to 6.15V. The undervoltage thresholds (UVLO) are preset to 2.55V (MAX4987AE). When the input voltage drops below the undervoltage (UVLO) threshold, the devices enter a low-current standby mode.All devices are offered in a small 2mm x 3mm, 8-pin TDFN package and operate over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.ApplicationsCell PhonesMedia Players
