Product details
Overview
MAX306EWI+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision 1-of-16 single-ended CMOS analog multiplexer with guaranteed on-resistance <100Ω, on-resistance match <5Ω between channels, and charge injection <10pC. It operates from ±4.5V to ±20V bipolar or +5V to +30V single supply, supports rail-to-rail signal handling up to ±15V, and is rated for -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range in 28-pin wide SO package. It serves as a plug-in upgrade for DG406/DG506A in precision data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX306EWI+ datasheet, MAX306EWI+ pinout, MAX306EWI+ application, or MAX306EWI+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed on-resistance flatness (≤7Ω), low leakage (<2.5nA NO off-leakage at +85°C), fast transition time (<250ns), ESD protection (>2000V), and compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic inputs across extended supply ranges.
Technical Context
The MAX306EWI+ implements a monolithic CMOS switch architecture with integrated address decoding (A0–A3) and enable control (EN), supporting 16 bidirectional analog input channels (NO1–NO16) routed to a common bidirectional output (COM). Its silicon-gate process ensures matched channel characteristics and minimal charge injection during switching.
It features rail-to-rail analog signal handling over ±15V (dual supply) or 0–12V (single supply), with guaranteed performance across -40°C to +85°C. Input logic thresholds (VAL ≤ 0.8V, VAH ≥ 2.4V) maintain TTL/CMOS compatibility while minimizing input loading via CMOS inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15V (dual supply); enables full-range signal routing without clipping in precision instrumentation. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | <100Ω max at +25°C; ensures minimal voltage drop and gain error in sensor/ADC front-ends. |
| On-Resistance Match | <5Ω max between channels; critical for multi-channel calibration and ratiometric measurement accuracy. |
| Charge Injection | <10pC; reduces sampling error and settling time in sample-and-hold and switched-capacitor circuits. |
| NO Off-Leakage Current | <2.5nA at +85°C; preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and battery-powered systems. |
| Transition Time | <250ns; supports high-speed multiplexing in automated test equipment and real-time control loops. |
| ESD Protection | >2000V HBM; enhances robustness during board assembly and field operation without external protection. |
Pinout & Package
MAX306EWI+ is housed in a 28-pin wide SOIC (SO) package with standard 0.3-inch body width and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise convention when viewed from top.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, V+ | Positive supply voltage input | Accepts +5V to +30V (single) or up to +20V (bipolar); must be powered before V− for safe sequencing. |
| 2,3,13, N.C. | No internal connection | Unbonded pins; must remain unconnected-no routing or grounding required. |
| 4–11, NO16–NO9 | Analog input channels (bidirectional) | 16 independent analog paths; each supports rail-to-rail signals within supply rails. |
| 12, GND | Ground reference | Logic and substrate reference; connect to system ground plane with low-inductance path. |
| 14–17, A3–A0 | Binary address inputs | Select one of 16 channels (0000–1111); CMOS-compatible with TTL/CMOS logic levels. |
| 18, EN | Enable input | Active-high; disables all switches when low, reducing leakage and power consumption. |
| 19–26, NO1–NO8 | Analog input channels (bidirectional) | Continuation of 16-channel set; identical electrical specs and routing capability as NO9–NO16. |
| 27, V− | Negative supply voltage input | Accepts −4.5V to −20V (bipolar); connect to GND for single-supply operation. |
| 28, COM | Common analog output | Bidirectional node; connects selected NOx channel; handles full analog signal range. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG408BRZ | 8-channel, not 16-channel; higher RON (100Ω typ vs. 60Ω typ for MAX306EWI+); no guaranteed on-resistance match spec. | Suitable only where channel count reduction is acceptable and tighter matching is not required. | Choose ADG408BRZ if lower channel density and simplified control (3 address bits) suffice and cost is prioritized. |
| TMUX1308PWR | 8-channel, single-supply only (1.08–5.5V); lacks bipolar support and rail-to-rail analog range beyond supply rails. | Restricted to low-voltage, consumer-grade systems-not suitable for ±15V industrial or military signal routing. | Choose TMUX1308PWR only for battery-powered 3.3V/5V designs where high-voltage analog handling is unnecessary. |
Compared with ADG408BRZ and TMUX1308PWR, the MAX306EWI+ uniquely delivers 16-channel single-ended switching with guaranteed matching, bipolar supply flexibility, and full rail-to-rail analog range-making it irreplaceable in high-accuracy, wide-signal industrial and defense applications.

FAQ
What supply voltage ranges does the MAX306EWI+ support?
The MAX306EWI+ supports dual supplies from ±4.5V to ±20V and single supplies from +5V to +30V. When using a single supply, V− must be connected to GND. The device maintains full rail-to-rail analog signal handling across these ranges, with specified performance up to ±15V (dual) or 0–12V (single). Absolute maximum ratings limit V+ to +44V relative to V−.
Is the MAX306EWI+ pin-compatible with the DG406 or DG506A?
Yes-the MAX306EWI+ is explicitly designed as a plug-in upgrade for the industry-standard DG406 and DG506A. It shares identical pinout, logic interface (TTL/CMOS-compatible), timing behavior, and functional operation. No PCB layout or firmware modifications are needed when replacing those legacy parts with MAX306EWI+ in existing designs.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the MAX306EWI+?
The MAX306EWI+ is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C, qualifying it for industrial and extended-temperature applications. This rating is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and applies specifically to the "E" grade (e.g., MAX306EWI+), distinguishing it from the commercial-grade "C" version (0°C to +70°C) and military-grade "M" version (-55°C to +125°C).
How does the MAX306EWI+ minimize signal distortion in precision measurement?
The MAX306EWI+ minimizes distortion through three key specifications: guaranteed on-resistance matching (<5Ω), flat on-resistance (≤7Ω variation over signal range), and ultra-low charge injection (<10pC). These ensure consistent gain across channels, linear response across input voltage, and minimal voltage step errors during switching-critical for high-resolution ADC interfacing and calibration-critical systems.
Can the MAX306EWI+ be used in battery-powered applications?
Yes-the MAX306EWI+ draws less than 75µA total supply current over temperature and consumes <1.25mW typical power. Its enable (EN) pin allows full shutdown to further reduce leakage, and its low off-leakage (<2.5nA at +85°C) preserves signal integrity in high-impedance battery-powered sensor nodes. Combined with single-supply operation down to +5V, it is well-suited for portable instrumentation.
