USB 2.0 signal routing with fault protection
The MAX4899EETE+T is a dual 3:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer from Analog Devices, built for USB 2.0 signal switching. Its 425 MHz -3 dB bandwidth passes high-speed USB traffic. Fault protection is built in, meaning the switch can tolerate overvoltage or short-circuit conditions on the data lines without latching up or damaging the upstream controller. That matters in field-wired USB ports where a cable fault or hot-plug transient is a real risk.
Package and mounting for production
Available in Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) — the reel option is standard for automated pick-and-place lines; cut tape suits prototype or low-volume builds. Store the reels in a dry cabinet if the moisture-sensitive level (MSL) on the reel label calls for it; QFN packages are typically MSL 1 or 2, but verify the bake requirement before opening the sealed bag.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
The MAX4899EETE+T carries an Active lifecycle status — no last-time-buy notice, no NRND flag. ROHS3 compliant, so it meets the latest EU restriction requirements for lead and other substances.
