Product details
Overview
MAX305CPE from Maxim Integrated is a precision dual SPST analog switch in 16-pin plastic DIP, designed for high-accuracy signal routing in bipolar or single-supply systems. It features <35Ω max on-resistance, <2Ω channel-to-channel match, <15pC charge injection, <6nA off-leakage at +85°C, and rail-to-rail analog signal handling (V− to V+). It serves in sample-and-hold circuits and test equipment requiring low distortion and fast switching.
For engineers reviewing the MAX305CPE datasheet, MAX305CPE pinout, MAX305CPE application, or MAX305CPE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance flatness (Δ3Ω max), TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs, ±4.5V to ±20V or +10V to +30V supply flexibility, and low leakage across temperature.
Technical Context
The MAX305CPE implements two independent normally-open (NO) SPST switches fabricated using Maxim's silicon-gate process, enabling high system accuracy with matched performance. Its architecture guarantees low charge injection (≤15pC) and flat on-resistance over full analog range (ΔRON ≤ 3Ω at +25°C, ≤5Ω over temperature).
It supports dual-supply operation (±4.5V to ±20V) or single positive supply (+10V to +30V), with CMOS/TTL-compatible logic inputs referenced to VL = +5V. Analog signal range spans rail-to-rail (V− to V+), enabled by 44V breakdown voltage and internal clamping diodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (max) | 35Ω - Ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision signal paths. |
| On-Resistance Match (max) | 2Ω - Enables accurate differential or ratiometric measurements between channels. |
| Charge Injection (max) | 15pC - Limits voltage glitch on sampled capacitors in sample-and-hold applications. |
| Off-Leakage Current (max) | 6nA at +85°C - Maintains signal integrity in high-impedance, long-integration-time circuits. |
| Switching Speed (tON/tOFF) | <150ns / <100ns - Supports high-throughput data acquisition and multiplexing up to ~5MHz. |
| Analog Signal Range | V− to V+ - Allows full rail-to-rail signal switching without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±4.5V to ±20V or +10V to +30V - Provides design flexibility across industrial, test, and military power architectures. |
Pinout & Package
MAX305CPE is housed in a 16-pin plastic DIP (P16-1) package with 0.3-inch width and through-hole mounting. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official pin configuration diagram for MAX305 (DIP/SO).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | COM1, COM2 | Common analog terminals - serve as bidirectional signal paths for each SPST switch. |
| 9, 16 | NO1, NO2 | Normally-open switch terminals - connect to COM only when corresponding IN is high. |
| 10, 15 | IN2, IN1 | Digital control inputs - TTL/CMOS-compatible; active-high logic enables switch closure. |
| 11 | V+ | Positive supply input - connects to substrate; must be ≥ |V−| to maintain 44V breakdown rating. |
| 12 | VL | Logic supply input - fixed at +5V for TTL compatibility; ties to V+ for CMOS-level operation. |
| 13 | GND | Negative supply reference - used as return path for V− in single-supply configurations. |
| 14 | V− | Negative supply input - sets lower analog rail; clamped internally to prevent damage beyond −2V. |
| 2–7 | N.C. | No internal connection - electrically isolated; no routing or thermal consideration required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports V− to V+ signals without clipping or level shifters, simplifying front-end design. |
| Guaranteed on-resistance flatness | ΔRON ≤ 3Ω max over full analog range ensures consistent gain and linearity in precision gain stages. |
| Low charge injection | ≤15pC minimizes hold-mode voltage step in sample-and-hold circuits, reducing settling time and error. |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | Operates with standard logic families via dedicated VL pin, eliminating interface level-shifters. |
| High supply voltage tolerance | 44V V+–V− rating enables use in ±15V, ±20V, or +24V systems without external protection. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG201AKNZ | Single-supply only (+10.8V to +16.5V); higher RON (60Ω typ); no guaranteed RON match spec. | Lacks bipolar supply support and channel matching - unsuitable for ratiometric or differential designs. | Select only if single-supply operation suffices and matching is not required. |
| TS5A23157DGSR | Lower voltage rating (5.5V max); CMOS-only logic; 0.9Ω RON but no high-temp leakage guarantee. | Not rated for industrial/military temp ranges or high-voltage analog rails - limited to consumer-grade low-voltage systems. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-voltage, commercial applications where leakage and voltage range are non-critical. |
Compared with ADG201AKNZ and TS5A23157DGSR, the MAX305CPE uniquely combines bipolar/single-supply flexibility, guaranteed channel matching, rail-to-rail signal handling up to ±20V, and leakage performance validated to +85°C - making it the only option qualified for precision test and military-grade analog routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage difference for MAX305CPE?
The MAX305CPE supports a maximum V+ to V− differential of 44V, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings. This allows operation at ±20V supplies (40V total) or +30V/0V single supply, with 4V headroom. Exceeding 44V risks permanent damage due to junction breakdown, regardless of individual rail values. The MAX305CPE datasheet explicitly defines this limit and confirms internal clamping diodes activate only within safe margins.
Does MAX305CPE support true rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, the MAX305CPE supports rail-to-rail analog signal switching from V− to V+, verified by its Electrical Characteristics table (VANA = V− to V+) and Typical Operating Characteristics plots. Signals at V− or V+ are passed with minimal distortion, enabled by 44V breakdown rating and internal ESD protection structures. This capability is intrinsic to the MAX305CPE silicon-gate process and confirmed across all temperature grades.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance match between channels for MAX305CPE?
The MAX305CPE guarantees on-resistance match between its two SPST switches to within 2Ω at +25°C and 3Ω over full operating temperature (0°C to +70°C), as stated in the Electrical Characteristics table under "On-Resistance Match Between Channels". This specification applies specifically to the MAX305CPE grade and is measured under defined conditions (V+ = 15V, V− = −15V), ensuring predictable performance in differential or matched-path applications.
Can MAX305CPE operate with TTL logic inputs without external level shifting?
Yes, the MAX305CPE operates directly with TTL logic inputs when VL is tied to +5V, as confirmed in the "Logic Inputs" section and Electrical Characteristics (VINH = +2.4V, VINL = +0.8V). Its inputs draw <1µA and tolerate standard TTL voltage thresholds without external components. This behavior is guaranteed for the MAX305CPE across its 0°C to +70°C temperature range and is independent of analog supply voltages.
What is the maximum off-leakage current of MAX305CPE at +85°C?
The MAX305CPE guarantees off-leakage current of ≤6nA at +85°C for both NC_(OFF) and NO_(OFF) terminals, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Off-Leakage Current". This value is tested per standard conditions (VCOM = ±10V, VNC/NO = ±10V) and applies to the C-grade (0°C to +70°C) part operating at elevated ambient - critical for maintaining accuracy in high-impedance sample-and-hold or sensor interfaces.
