VGA mux handles up to 1GHz bandwidth

From Maxim Integrated Products comes the MAX4885E, a complete 1:2 VGA mux. The device switches between two VGA ports while maintaining an ultralow, 6pF (typ) on-capacitance and low, 5? (typ) on-resistance for higher-bandwidth applications (up to 1GHz).

The only switch that offers a complete VGA solution for switching and translating R, G, B, DDC, and H/V signals, the MAX4885E delivers 2x more bandwidth than any existing solution and provides extended ±15kV (human body model) and ±8kV (contact discharge) ESD protection. In addition, the device's advanced integration dramatically reduces design time, saves board space, and minimizes cost, making it a suitable choice for notebook PCs, servers, and consumer video applications.

The MAX4885E operates from a single, 2V to 5V supply, and is fully specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range. It is available in an industry-standard, 4mm x 4mm, 24-pin TQFN package. Pricing starts at $1.50 (1000-up, FOB USA).
