Product details
Overview
MAX303ESE+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision dual SPDT analog switch with two normally open (NO) and two normally closed (NC) poles, designed for high-accuracy signal routing in ±4.5V to ±20V or +10V to +30V supply systems. It delivers <22Ω typical on-resistance, <2Ω matched RON between channels, <15pC charge injection, <6nA off-leakage at +85°C, and sub-100ns turn-off time - enabling use in sample-and-hold circuits and military-grade test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX303ESE+ datasheet, MAX303ESE+ pinout, MAX303ESE+ application, or MAX303ESE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail analog signal handling (VANA = V− to V+), guaranteed break-before-make timing (10–20ns), CMOS/TTL logic compatibility, and low 35µW power consumption in battery-operated guidance systems.
Technical Context
The MAX303ESE+ implements a monolithic silicon-gate CMOS architecture optimized for precision analog switching. Its dual SPDT topology supports independent control of two separate analog paths, each with matched NO/NC pole pairs and guaranteed flat on-resistance (ΔRON ≤ 5Ω over full signal range).
It features integrated logic-level translation via dedicated VL pin, enabling TTL-compatible operation across full bipolar supply range (±4.5V to ±20V) while maintaining low charge injection (15pC max) and high off-isolation (72dB at 1MHz). Break-before-make timing ensures no signal shorting during state transitions.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1434BRUZ | 4-channel SPDT, 1.5Ω RON, but requires ≥±5V supplies only; no VL pin - logic tied to VDD | Higher precision, lower RON, but lacks rail-to-rail analog range (limited to VDD–VSS); unsuitable for ±20V signal routing | Select when ultra-low on-resistance and 4-channel density outweigh need for wide supply flexibility |
| TS5A3157DCKR | Single SPDT, 0.75Ω RON, 5V-only supply, 1.5pC charge injection - smaller footprint, lower cost | Not pin-compatible; single-channel only; cannot replace dual-switch functionality without redesign | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-voltage (<5.5V), single-path applications where size and leakage are critical |
Compared with ADG1434BRUZ and TS5A3157DCKR, the MAX303ESE+ uniquely supports ±20V analog signal routing with guaranteed break-before-make timing and dual SPDT configuration in one 16-pin SOIC - making it irreplaceable in military-grade test and guidance systems requiring wide supply tolerance and channel matching.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX303ESE+?
The MAX303ESE+ supports a full rail-to-rail analog signal range from V− to V+, with absolute maximum ratings of ±20V for bipolar operation and up to +30V for single-supply use. This allows direct switching of signals spanning the entire supply rails without external level-shifting, which is essential in precision instrumentation and military radios where signal integrity must be preserved across wide dynamic ranges. The MAX303ESE+ maintains specified performance within this range.
Does the MAX303ESE+ require a separate logic supply voltage, and what is its function?
Yes, the MAX303ESE+ requires a dedicated VL pin (Pin 12) for logic-level referencing. When VL = +5V, the device guarantees TTL-compatible input thresholds (VINH = +2.4V, VINL = +0.8V) across its full ±4.5V to ±20V analog supply range. This decouples logic interface requirements from analog supply constraints - a key feature that enables reliable operation in mixed-supply systems. The MAX303ESE+ will not meet TTL specs if VL deviates from +5V.
How does the MAX303ESE+ ensure signal integrity during switching transitions?
The MAX303ESE+ guarantees break-before-make timing of 10–20ns, preventing momentary shorting between NO and NC paths during state changes. Combined with <15pC charge injection and <2Ω RON matching, this ensures minimal voltage glitching and gain error in sensitive applications like sample-and-hold circuits. These parameters are production-tested and guaranteed over temperature, not just characterized - a critical distinction for the MAX303ESE+ in mission-critical designs.
Can the MAX303ESE+ operate from a single positive supply, and what are the limits?
Yes, the MAX303ESE+ supports single-supply operation from +10V to +30V. In this configuration, V− (Pin 14) is connected to system ground, GND (Pin 13) serves as the negative reference, and analog signals swing from 0V to V+. The device retains all key specifications - including <22Ω RON, <6nA leakage at +85°C, and rail-to-rail capability - across this range. This makes the MAX303ESE+ suitable for portable test gear and industrial PLC I/O modules using single-rail power architectures.
What is the thermal performance of the MAX303ESE+ in continuous operation?
The MAX303ESE+ in narrow SOIC (S16-2) has a power dissipation rating of 696mW at +70°C, derating at 8.70mW/°C above that temperature. At full rated load and worst-case supply conditions, junction temperature rise remains within safe limits for −40°C to +85°C operation. Its low 35µW quiescent power minimizes self-heating, and the guaranteed RON flatness (≤5Ω ΔRON) over temperature ensures stable performance without recalibration - a requirement verified in the MAX303ESE+ datasheet's thermal characterization graphs.
