Product details
Overview
MAX306EQI+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 1-of-16 single-ended CMOS analog multiplexer designed for high-fidelity signal routing in demanding instrumentation and control systems. It delivers <100Ω on-resistance (typ. 60Ω), <5Ω channel-to-channel matching, <10pC charge injection, rail-to-rail analog signal handling (±15V dual or 0–12V single supply), and operates across –40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the MAX306EQI+T datasheet, MAX306EQI+T pinout, MAX306EQI+T application, or MAX306EQI+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance flatness (≤7Ω), ultra-low leakage (<2.5nA NO off-leakage at +85°C), ESD protection >2000V, and plug-in compatibility with industry-standard DG406/DG506A devices.
Technical Context
The MAX306EQI+T implements a monolithic CMOS decoder-driven 16-channel switch architecture with integrated level-shifting logic, enabling direct TTL/CMOS input compatibility across ±4.5V to ±20V or +5V to +30V supply ranges. Its silicon-gate process ensures low charge injection and matched on-resistance independent of signal voltage polarity.
It features break-before-make switching (10–40ns), fast transition time (<250ns typ.), and guaranteed performance over full temperature range - including on-resistance flatness ≤10Ω and leakage parameters fully tested at +85°C per data sheet.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15V (dual) or 0–12V (single): supports rail-to-rail signal routing without clipping. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 60Ω typ., 125Ω max (–40°C to +85°C): ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision measurement paths. |
| On-Resistance Match | ≤5Ω max (25°C), ≤8Ω max (full temp): enables accurate differential or ratiometric measurements across channels. |
| Charge Injection | <10pC: critical for sample-and-hold accuracy and low glitch energy in data acquisition front-ends. |
| NO Off-Leakage | <2.5nA at +85°C: preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and battery-powered systems. |
| ESD Protection | >2000V HBM: enhances robustness during board assembly and field operation without external protection. |
| Transition Time | 110–400ns (temp-dependent): supports multiplexing rates up to ~2MHz in time-critical scanning applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX306EQI+T is housed in a 28-pin PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) package with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant, rated for –40°C to +85°C operation. The package provides mechanical stability and thermal performance suitable for industrial PCB environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COM (Pin 28) | Common output terminal | Bidirectional analog path shared by all 16 inputs; connects to ADC input, amplifier summing node, or test probe point. |
| NO1–NO16 (Pins 4–11, 19–26) | Analog input terminals | 16 bidirectional, low-leakage, low-capacitance (8pF off) channels for sensor, signal, or calibration source selection. |
| A0–A3 (Pins 14–17) | Binary address inputs | 4-bit parallel select lines accepting TTL/CMOS logic levels; enable deterministic channel addressing without microcontroller overhead. |
| EN (Pin 18) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input that disables all switches when low; allows power gating and system-level synchronization. |
| V+ (Pin 1), V− (Pin 27) | Supply rails | Support bipolar (±4.5V to ±20V) or single-supply (5V–30V) operation; V− tied to GND in single-supply mode. |
| GND (Pin 12) | Reference ground | Logic and analog reference common; must be low-impedance to minimize crosstalk and switching noise coupling. |
| N.C. (Pins 2, 3, 13) | No internal connection | Unbonded pads; no electrical function - must remain unconnected on PCB layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed on-resistance flatness | ≤7Ω max variation over full analog signal range (±10V), ensuring consistent gain and linearity across input voltages. |
| Plug-in upgrade capability | Pin- and function-compatible replacement for DG406 and DG506A, enabling drop-in reliability and performance upgrades without layout change. |
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Operates with analog signals extending to both supply rails, eliminating headroom loss in ±15V or 0–12V systems. |
| Low power consumption | <1.25mW typical quiescent power (I+ = 30µA, I− = ±1µA), ideal for portable and thermally constrained designs. |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | Accepts standard 0.8V/2.4V logic thresholds with ≤1µA input current, simplifying interface to FPGAs, MCUs, and logic families. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX306EUI+T | Same electrical specs, but in 28-pin TSSOP (4.4mm × 9.7mm) vs. PLCC (11.5mm × 11.5mm); lower profile, finer pitch. | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs; requires rework of land pattern and soldering profile due to lead geometry. | Select for compact, high-density layouts where thermal mass and mechanical robustness are secondary to footprint size. |
| DG406DN-E3 | Higher on-resistance (120Ω typ.), wider matching (15Ω), no guaranteed flatness spec; lacks charge injection guarantee and ESD rating. | Acceptable for non-critical general-purpose switching; not recommended for precision metrology or low-leakage sensor interfaces. | Choose only when cost is primary constraint and performance margins allow degradation in matching, leakage, and switching fidelity. |
Compared with MAX306EUI+T, the MAX306EQI+T offers superior mechanical ruggedness and thermal dissipation in PLCC packaging, while DG406DN-E3 trades measurable performance in on-resistance, leakage, and ESD for legacy compatibility and lower unit cost - making MAX306EQI+T optimal for industrial and military applications demanding guaranteed precision and reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX306EQI+T?
The MAX306EQI+T supports an analog signal range of ±15V when operated from dual supplies (±4.5V to ±20V), or 0V to +12V when operated from a single +5V to +30V supply. This rail-to-rail capability ensures full dynamic range utilization without signal clipping, and is verified across the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics tables.
Does the MAX306EQI+T require external pull-up resistors on its address or enable pins?
No, the MAX306EQI+T does not require external pull-up resistors on A0–A3 or EN pins. Its CMOS inputs exhibit ≤1.0µA leakage across temperature and supply voltage, and are fully compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic drive levels (VAL ≤ 0.8V, VAH ≥ 2.4V). Internal design ensures reliable logic recognition without external biasing, simplifying interface design and reducing BOM count.
Can the MAX306EQI+T be used with unbalanced supply voltages such as +24V and –5V?
Yes, the MAX306EQI+T supports unbalanced supplies - for example, +24V and –5V - as long as the difference between V+ and V– does not exceed +44V and each supply remains within its absolute maximum rating (V+ ≤ +44V, V– ≥ –0.3V). This flexibility enables optimized power architecture in mixed-signal systems where positive and negative rails serve different subsystems.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance matching specification for the MAX306EQI+T over temperature?
The MAX306EQI+T guarantees on-resistance matching of ≤8Ω maximum across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), defined as ΔRON = RON(MAX) – RON(MIN) at VCOM = ±10V and INO = –1.0mA. This is tighter than the +25°C-only spec of ≤5Ω and is 100% tested at hot temperature, ensuring predictable channel consistency in thermally varying environments.
Is the MAX306EQI+T pin-compatible with the DG406 or DG506A series?
Yes, the MAX306EQI+T is a documented plug-in upgrade for the DG406 and DG506A, sharing identical pinout, logic interface, and functional behavior. It retains the same 28-pin PLCC footprint and truth table while improving on-resistance, matching, charge injection, leakage, and ESD protection - allowing direct replacement without PCB modification or firmware changes.
