General Description
The MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892 high-speed analog switches meet the needs of 10/100/1000 Base-T applications. These devices switch the signals from two interface transformers and connect the signals to a single 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet PHY, simplifying docking station design and reducing manufacturing costs. The MAX4890/MAX4891/MAX4892 can also route signals from a common interface transformer to two different boards in board-redundancy applications.
