Product details
Overview
MAX308CPE+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision 8-channel single-ended CMOS analog multiplexer with on-resistance <100Ω, on-resistance matching <5Ω between channels, and guaranteed flatness of ≤7Ω over ±10V signal range. It operates from +5V to +30V single supply or ±5V to ±20V dual supplies, features <10pC charge injection, and is used in sample-and-hold circuits and automatic test equipment requiring low leakage and rail-to-rail signal handling.
For engineers reviewing the MAX308CPE+ datasheet, MAX308CPE+ pinout, MAX308CPE+ application, or MAX308CPE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, package-specific pin functions, real-world use cases in military radios and audio routing, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented technical and application differences.
Technical Context
The MAX308CPE+ implements a CMOS decode logic architecture with three address inputs (A0–A2) and an active-low enable (EN), selecting one of eight bidirectional analog channels (NO1–NO8) to connect to the common terminal (COM). Its silicon-gate process ensures TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs and rail-to-rail analog signal handling up to ±20V.
It guarantees low dynamic errors: transition time <250ns, enable turn-on time <600ns (single supply), and break-before-make interval <450ns. Leakage is tightly controlled-NO-off leakage <5nA at +85°C and COM-off leakage <20nA at +85°C-enabling high-precision DC-coupled switching in battery-operated and military-grade systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance | <100Ω max - ensures minimal voltage drop and gain error in precision signal paths |
| On-Resistance Matching | <5Ω max - enables accurate channel-to-channel ratio matching in instrumentation |
| On-Resistance Flatness | <7Ω max over ±10V - maintains consistent gain across full analog input range |
| Charge Injection | <10pC - reduces settling error in sample-and-hold and ADC front-end applications |
| NO-Off Leakage | <5nA at +85°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces |
| Supply Range | +5V to +30V single or ±5V to ±20V dual - supports wide-range industrial and military power architectures |

Pinout & Package
MAX308CPE+ is supplied in a 16-pin plastic DIP package (0°C to +70°C operating range), with through-hole mounting and industry-standard footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15, 16 | A0, A2, A1 | Binary address inputs controlling channel selection (NO1–NO8 → COM) |
| 2 | EN | Active-low enable: disables all switches when high, prevents unintended conduction |
| 3 | V− | Negative supply rail: required for dual-supply operation; tied to GND for single-supply use |
| 4–7, 9–12 | NO1–NO4, NO8–NO5 | Bidirectional analog inputs: eight independent signal paths selectable to COM |
| 8 | COM | Common analog terminal: output in mux mode, input in demux mode; rail-to-rail capable |
| 13 | V+ | Positive supply rail: supports up to +30V; substrate tied internally to V+ |
| 14 | GND | Ground reference: digital logic and supply return; separate from analog ground in mixed-signal layouts |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals from V− to V+ without clipping-critical for ±15V industrial sensors and audio line-level routing |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | Accepts standard 0.8V/2.4V logic thresholds-eliminates level-shifting in microcontroller- or FPGA-driven systems |
| ESD protection >2000V | Meets HBM Class 2-reduces field failure risk during handling and PCB assembly |
| Plug-in upgrade for DG408/DG508A | Direct replacement with improved RON match, lower leakage, and faster switching-no layout change needed |
| Low power consumption <300µW | Enables always-on operation in battery-powered guidance systems and portable test gear |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG408BRZ | On-resistance 100Ω (typ), RON match ±15Ω, no guaranteed flatness spec; 16-lead SOIC only | Lower ESD rating (1500V HBM); not qualified for military temp ranges | Preferred where SOIC packaging and ADI ecosystem integration outweigh need for tight RON flatness |
| TMUX1308PWR | On-resistance 120Ω (max), RON match ±10Ω, charge injection 15pC; supports 1.8V logic | Single-supply only (+1.8V to +5.5V); unsuitable for ±15V signal chains | Best for low-voltage, battery-constrained IoT nodes-not for industrial or military analog backplanes |
Compared with MAX308CPE+, ADG408BRZ offers broader distributor availability but sacrifices RON flatness and temperature-rated leakage performance, while TMUX1308PWR enables modern low-power logic interfacing yet cannot support the ±20V analog range essential for legacy test and defense systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal range supported by MAX308CPE+?
The MAX308CPE+ supports an analog signal range of ±10V when operated with ±15V supplies, and up to ±20V with ±20V supplies. With single +12V supply, the usable range extends from 0V to +12V. The device maintains rail-to-rail capability, meaning signals can swing fully between V− and V+ without clipping or distortion-critical for high-fidelity sensor and audio applications where headroom directly impacts dynamic range.
Does MAX308CPE+ require external pull-up resistors on its address or enable pins?
No, MAX308CPE+ does not require external pull-up resistors. Its CMOS digital inputs (A0, A1, A2, EN) have high impedance and are TTL/CMOS-logic compatible, accepting standard logic thresholds (VAL ≤ 0.8V, VAH ≥ 2.4V) without external biasing. Internal design ensures proper noise immunity and static discharge protection, eliminating the need for external components in typical microcontroller- or FPGA-driven configurations using MAX308CPE+.
Can MAX308CPE+ be used in a single-supply configuration with V− grounded?
Yes, MAX308CPE+ supports single-supply operation with V− connected to GND. In this configuration, it operates from +5V to +30V on V+, delivering rail-to-rail analog switching from 0V to V+. The datasheet confirms functionality at +12V single supply with analog range up to 12V, and leakage, on-resistance, and switching specs remain fully specified-making MAX308CPE+ suitable for portable instrumentation and industrial PLC I/O modules.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance matching between channels for MAX308CPE+?
The MAX308CPE+ guarantees on-resistance matching of less than 5Ω between any two channels across the full operating temperature range (0°C to +70°C for the CPE variant). This specification-verified per datasheet Table 1-is critical for ratio-metric measurements and precision gain-setting networks where channel-to-channel consistency directly determines measurement accuracy in systems using MAX308CPE+.
Is MAX308CPE+ pin-compatible with the DG408 analog multiplexer?
Yes, MAX308CPE+ is a plug-in upgrade for the industry-standard DG408, sharing identical 16-pin DIP pinout, logic interface, and functional behavior. It improves upon DG408 with tighter on-resistance matching (<5Ω vs. ±25Ω), lower charge injection (<10pC vs. ~25pC), and enhanced ESD protection (>2000V vs. ~200V), while retaining full backward compatibility-allowing direct replacement in existing DG408-based designs without PCB or firmware changes.
