Product details
Overview
MAX309CPE+G126 from Maxim Integrated is a precision differential 2-of-4 CMOS analog multiplexer designed for high-fidelity signal routing in demanding analog systems. It delivers <100Ω on-resistance, <5Ω channel-to-channel matching, <10pC charge injection, <5nA NO-off leakage at +85°C, and supports ±5V to ±20V bipolar or +5V to +30V single-supply operation - enabling accurate signal selection in military radios and guidance systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX309CPE+G126 datasheet, MAX309CPE+G126 pinout, MAX309CPE+G126 application, or MAX309CPE+G126 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance flatness (≤7Ω), rail-to-rail signal handling, TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, and plug-in upgrade capability for DG409/DG509A in existing layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX309CPE+G126 implements a fully differential 2-of-4 switching architecture with independent COMA/COMB outputs and dual NO1A–NO4A / NO1B–NO4B input banks. Its silicon-gate process ensures matched switch characteristics across channels and stable performance over temperature (–40°C to +85°C).
It features CMOS decode logic with three address inputs (A1, A0, EN) controlling two simultaneous analog paths, low-power operation (<300µW), and electrostatic discharge protection exceeding 2000V - all while maintaining fast transition time (<250ns) and break-before-make timing (115–450ns) critical for glitch-free signal routing.

Use Scenario: Selecting between multiple RF front-end signal paths under harsh environmental conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Differential analog multiplexer routing calibrated IF signals while rejecting common-mode noise. Use Value: Low charge injection (<10pC) prevents transient errors in AGC loops; matched on-resistance ensures consistent gain across selected paths. | Use Scenario: Multiplexing inertial sensor outputs (gyro, accelerometer) into navigation processor ADCs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-precision, low-leakage signal selector preserving microvolt-level sensor resolution. Use Value: NO-off leakage <5nA at +85°C minimizes offset drift; rail-to-rail operation accommodates full sensor dynamic range. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-switching (250ns transition), low-crosstalk multiplexer enabling high-throughput parametric testing. Use Value: Off isolation >75dB and crosstalk <–92dB prevent signal coupling between adjacent test channels. | Use Scenario: Switching between multiple video sources (HUD symbology, camera feed, radar overlay) in avionics displays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Differential analog mux delivering clean, synchronized video signals with minimal glitch energy. Use Value: Break-before-make interval (115–450ns) prevents short-circuited outputs; low on-resistance avoids video amplitude loss. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar differential analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX309EPE | Same die, extended temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) vs. 0°C to +70°C | Suitable for industrial or automotive environments requiring wider thermal margin | Select MAX309EPE if operating ambient exceeds +70°C or requires MIL-STD-883 screening |
| ADG409BRZ | Higher on-resistance (100Ω typ), no guaranteed on-resistance matching, lower ESD rating (1500V) | Limited suitability for precision differential measurement where channel matching is critical | Choose ADG409BRZ only when cost sensitivity outweighs matching and leakage requirements |
Compared with MAX309CPE+G126, MAX309EPE offers identical electrical performance with enhanced thermal reliability, while ADG409BRZ trades precision matching and leakage for broader distributor availability - making MAX309CPE+G126 optimal for calibrated test and defense-grade signal routing.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MAX309CPE+G126?
The MAX309CPE+G126 is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +70°C. This range is validated per the device's ordering code "C" suffix and confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. The plastic DIP package (CPE) is specified for this range only; extended-range variants like MAX309EPE operate from –40°C to +85°C. Thermal derating applies above +70°C per the 10.53mW/°C dissipation limit.
Does the MAX309CPE+G126 support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX309CPE+G126 supports single-supply operation from +5V to +30V. In this configuration, V− must be connected to GND (pin 15), and analog signals swing from 0V to V+. The datasheet confirms rail-to-rail signal handling and specifies on-resistance, leakage, and switching times under +12V single-supply conditions. Performance remains consistent with dual-supply operation except for reduced analog signal range at lower voltages.
Is the MAX309CPE+G126 pin-compatible with the DG409 analog multiplexer?
Yes, the MAX309CPE+G126 is explicitly documented as a plug-in upgrade for the industry-standard DG409. Pin assignments, truth table logic, supply voltage ranges, and functional behavior match identically - allowing direct replacement without PCB modification. Key improvements include lower on-resistance (<100Ω vs. ~120Ω), tighter matching (<5Ω vs. unspecified), and higher ESD protection (>2000V vs. ~200V).
What is the maximum analog signal voltage the MAX309CPE+G126 can handle?
The MAX309CPE+G126 supports analog signals from V− to V+, with absolute limits defined by its supply rails. Under ±15V dual-supply operation, it handles ±10V signals (as tested in Electrical Characteristics). With +30V single supply, the full 0V to +30V range is supported - but practical signal swing is constrained by on-resistance flatness specifications, which guarantee ≤7Ω variation only up to ±10V. Exceeding these voltages risks increased RON variation and leakage.
How does charge injection affect system performance with the MAX309CPE+G126?
Charge injection in the MAX309CPE+G126 is guaranteed <10pC, directly impacting sample-and-hold and switched-capacitor circuit accuracy. When a channel turns off, injected charge displaces the hold capacitor voltage by ∆V = Q/CL - e.g., 10pC into 100pF yields 100mV error. This specification enables predictable error budgeting in precision data acquisition systems. Layout best practices (minimizing stray capacitance, using guard rings) further suppress effective error magnitude in real-world implementations of the MAX309CPE+G126.
