Product details
Overview
MAX308ESE+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision single-ended 1-of-8 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 targets high-accuracy signal routing in test equipment and military radios.
For engineers reviewing the MAX308ESE+ datasheet, MAX308ESE+ pinout, MAX308ESE+ application, or MAX308ESE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range, 16-pin narrow SO package, rail-to-rail analog signal handling up to ±20V, and plug-in compatibility with DG408/DG508A legacy designs.
Technical Context
The MAX308ESE+ implements a monolithic CMOS switch architecture with silicon-gate process optimization for low charge injection and high ESD tolerance (>2000V). Its decode logic accepts three address bits (A0–A2) and an active-low enable (EN) to select one of eight bidirectional NOx inputs to the common COM terminal.
It supports both unipolar and bipolar operation without external level-shifting: V− can be grounded for single-supply use or biased negatively for dual-supply configurations. Signal integrity is preserved via low off-capacitance (NO-OFF: 3pF; COM-OFF: 26pF) and high off-isolation (−75dB), enabling minimal crosstalk in multi-channel sampling 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 match | <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 circuits |
| 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 industrial and military power architectures |
| Transition time | <250ns - enables fast channel switching in automated test systems |
Pinout & Package
MAX308ESE+ is housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC (SO) package, 3.9mm width, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and gull-wing leads.

| 1, 15, 16 | A0, A2, A1 | Binary address inputs selecting one of eight NOx channels |
| 2 | EN | Active-low enable controlling global switch activation |
| 3 | V− | Negative supply rail; tied to GND for single-supply operation |
| 4–7, 9–12 | NO1–NO8 | Bidirectional analog inputs; electrically identical, no internal hierarchy |

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 (vs. 85Ω typ for MAX308ESE+); charge injection = 20pC (vs. <10pC); −40°C to +85°C rating | Higher leakage at temperature; less suitable for low-error S/H or high-density ATE | Select MAX308ESE+ when sub-10pC charge injection and <5Ω matching are critical |
| DG408DN | Legacy industry-standard part; on-resistance = 125Ω max; no guaranteed flatness spec; ESD = 1000V | Lacks modern low-leakage and ESD robustness; requires external protection in harsh environments | MAX308ESE+ is a direct drop-in upgrade-no layout change needed |
Compared with ADG408BRZ and DG408DN, the MAX308ESE+ delivers superior on-resistance flatness (≤7Ω vs. unspecified), lower charge injection (<10pC vs. 20pC), and higher ESD immunity (>2000V vs. 1000V), making it optimal for precision, high-reliability analog routing where signal fidelity and ruggedness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal range supported by the MAX308ESE+?
The MAX308ESE+ supports a rail-to-rail analog signal range from V− to V+, up to ±20V with dual supplies or 0V to +30V with single supply. At ±15V supplies, the specified signal range is ±10V with guaranteed on-resistance flatness ≤7Ω. Operation beyond these limits risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings and may degrade performance or cause damage.
Is the MAX308ESE+ pin-compatible with the DG408?
Yes, the MAX308ESE+ is a direct plug-in upgrade for the DG408. Pin assignments, logic levels, and functional behavior-including address decoding (A0–A2), enable (EN), NO1–NO8, COM, V+, V−, and GND-are identical. No PCB or schematic changes are required, and the improved specs (lower RON, flatter response, lower charge injection) deliver immediate system-level benefits.
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX308ESE+?
The MAX308ESE+ is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C. This extended industrial temperature range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and applies specifically to the "E" grade (e.g., MAX308ESE+), distinguishing it from the commercial-grade "C" version (0°C to +70°C).
Does the MAX308ESE+ require external protection diodes for overvoltage conditions?
No, external diodes are not required under normal operation. The MAX308ESE+ includes internal clamp diodes on all analog and digital pins. However, if supply sequencing cannot be guaranteed (e.g., V+ applied after V− or logic inputs), external series diodes on V+ and V− are recommended per Figure 1 in the datasheet to prevent latch-up-though this reduces usable analog range by ~1V.
How does the MAX308ESE+ handle single-supply versus dual-supply configurations?
The MAX308ESE+ operates natively with either configuration: tie V− to GND for +5V to +30V single supply, or bias V− negatively for ±5V to ±20V dual supply. Logic inputs remain TTL/CMOS-compatible in both modes. The device's rail-to-rail design ensures full analog swing in either case, and no external components are needed to adapt between modes.
