Product details
Overview
The MAX309CPE+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision differential 2-of-4 CMOS analog multiplexer, designed for bidirectional signal routing in high-fidelity analog systems. It delivers <100Ω on-resistance (max), <5Ω channel-to-channel matching, <10pC charge injection, and supports ±5V to ±20V bipolar or +5V to +30V single-supply operation - enabling use in military radios, guidance systems, and battery-operated test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX309CPE+ datasheet, MAX309CPE+ pinout, MAX309CPE+ application, or MAX309CPE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance flatness (≤7Ω over ±10V signal range), NO-off leakage <5nA at +85°C, COM-off leakage <20nA at +85°C, rail-to-rail signal handling, and TTL/CMOS logic compatibility without external level shifting.
Technical Context
The MAX309CPE+ implements a fully differential 4-channel × 2-path architecture with independent COMA/COMB outputs and dual NO1A–NO4A / NO1B–NO4B input banks. Its silicon-gate CMOS process ensures matched switch characteristics across channels and stable performance from -40°C to +85°C.
It uses internal decode logic driven by A0/A1/EN inputs to select one of four differential pairs, with break-before-make timing (115–450ns) preventing signal shorting. The device maintains low dynamic distortion via <3pF NO-off capacitance and <26pF COM-off capacitance at 1MHz, critical for audio and sample-and-hold fidelity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance | <100Ω max - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision gain-setting or sensor front-end paths |
| On-Resistance Matching | <5Ω max between channels - enables accurate differential signal balancing and ratiometric measurement integrity |
| Charge Injection | <10pC - reduces voltage glitch and settling error in sample-and-hold circuits, especially with >1nF hold capacitors |
| NO-Off Leakage | <5nA at +85°C - preserves DC accuracy in high-impedance sensor multiplexing (e.g., thermocouples, pH electrodes) |
| Analog Signal Range | ±10V with ±15V supplies - supports full-rail operation across industrial and military voltage standards |
| Supply Range | +5V to +30V single or ±5V to ±20V dual - allows flexible power architecture integration without level-shifting circuitry |
| Transition Time | <250ns - enables fast channel switching in automatic test equipment scanning at ≥1MHz rates |
Pinout & Package
MAX309CPE+ is housed in a 16-pin plastic DIP package (0.300" wide), with through-hole mounting and industry-standard footprint compatible with legacy DG409 layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 16 | A0, A1 | Binary address inputs selecting one of four differential switch pairs (00–11); TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds (VAL ≤0.8V, VAH ≥2.4V) |
| 2 | EN | Active-high enable controlling all switches; when low, all paths are off with <20nA COM-off leakage |
| 3 | V− | Negative supply rail input - must be connected for bipolar operation; tied to GND for single-supply mode |
| 4–7 | NO1A–NO4A | First set of four bidirectional analog inputs for differential pair A |
| 8, 9 | COMA, COMB | Separate bidirectional common outputs for differential pair A and B - enables true differential signal routing without shared return path |
| 10–13 | NO4B–NO1B | Second set of four bidirectional analog inputs for differential pair B (reversed order per datasheet top view) |
| 14 | V+ | Positive supply rail input - supports up to +30V; substrate tied internally to V+ for latch-up immunity |
| 15 | GND | Digital ground reference for logic inputs; electrically isolated from analog signal paths to minimize noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals spanning full V+ to V− range - eliminates clipping in ±10V instrumentation amplifier interfaces |
| Guaranteed on-resistance flatness | ≤7Ω variation across ±10V signal range - ensures consistent gain and linearity in programmable-gain amplifier (PGA) configurations |
| ESD protection | >2000V HBM - permits safe handling and board-level integration without additional transient suppression |
| Plug-in upgrade for DG409 | PIN-compatible replacement for DG409 with improved specs - no PCB redesign required for legacy system refresh |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX309EPE+ | Same die, extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) vs. MAX309CPE+ (0°C to +70°C); identical pinout, electrical specs, and package | Suitable for industrial or automotive environments requiring wider operating temperature margin | Select MAX309EPE+ when ambient operating temperature exceeds +70°C or requires MIL-STD-810 qualification support |
| ADG409BRZ | 44V supply rating (vs. 44V absolute max for MAX309); higher on-resistance (100Ω typ vs. <100Ω max); no guaranteed on-resistance matching spec | Lacks guaranteed <5Ω channel matching and <7Ω flatness - less suitable for precision differential measurement | Choose ADG409BRZ only if higher voltage tolerance is primary requirement and matching/flatness specs are relaxed |
Compared with MAX309CPE+, MAX309EPE+ offers identical performance with extended temperature capability, while ADG409BRZ trades guaranteed matching and flatness for higher absolute supply rating - making MAX309CPE+ optimal for precision differential routing where channel consistency is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal range supported by the MAX309CPE+?
The MAX309CPE+ supports an analog signal range of ±10V when operated with ±15V supplies, and scales linearly with supply voltage - e.g., ±5V supplies support ±5V signals. This rail-to-rail capability ensures full dynamic range utilization without external clamping or level-shifting circuitry in the MAX309CPE+ signal path.
Does the MAX309CPE+ require external pull-up resistors on its address or enable pins?
No, the MAX309CPE+ features CMOS logic inputs with TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds (VAL ≤0.8V, VAH ≥2.4V) and input leakage <±1.0µA - eliminating need for external pull-ups. Direct connection to microcontroller GPIO or FPGA outputs is fully supported, simplifying interface design for the MAX309CPE+ in embedded systems.
Can the MAX309CPE+ operate from a single +12V supply?
Yes, the MAX309CPE+ operates from +5V to +30V single supply - connect V− to GND and use +12V on V+. Analog signal range becomes 0V to +12V, maintaining rail-to-rail operation. On-resistance increases slightly versus ±15V operation, but remains <120Ω (typ) per the MAX309CPE+ datasheet specifications.
How does the MAX309CPE+ handle differential signal routing compared to single-ended muxes like the MAX308?
The MAX309CPE+ provides two independent 4-channel differential banks (NO1A–NO4A/COMA and NO1B–NO4B/COMB), enabling true differential path selection without shared return paths. Unlike the MAX308's single-ended 1-of-8 topology, this architecture preserves common-mode rejection in instrumentation amplifiers and reduces noise coupling - a core functional distinction of the MAX309CPE+.
Is the MAX309CPE+ pin-compatible with the DG409 multiplexer?
Yes, the MAX309CPE+ is a direct plug-in upgrade for the DG409 in 16-pin DIP packages - identical pinout, supply connections, and logic interface. It improves upon the DG409 with lower on-resistance (<100Ω vs. ~125Ω), tighter matching (<5Ω vs. unspecified), and guaranteed flatness (≤7Ω), making the MAX309CPE+ drop-in compatible with enhanced performance.
