Product details
Overview
MAX309EJE from Maxim Integrated is a precision differential 2-of-4 CMOS analog multiplexer designed for high-fidelity signal routing in demanding analog systems. It features <100Ω on-resistance (max), <5Ω channel-to-channel matching, <10pC charge injection, and operates from ±5V to ±20V or +5V to +30V supplies - enabling rail-to-rail signal handling in military radios and automatic test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX309EJE datasheet, MAX309EJE pinout, MAX309EJE application, or MAX309EJE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance flatness (≤7Ω over ±10V range), NO-off leakage <5nA at +85°C, COM-off leakage <20nA at +85°C, and ESD protection >2000V - all validated across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX309EJE implements a fully differential 4-channel architecture with two independent COM outputs (COMA and COMB) and dual 4-input banks (NO1A–NO4A and NO1B–NO4B), controlled by A0/A1 address lines and an active-low EN enable input. Its silicon-gate CMOS process ensures matched switch characteristics and low thermal drift.
It supports break-before-make switching with tOPEN ≤450ns (typ), transition time tTRANS ≤250ns (max), and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs (VAL ≤0.8V, VAH ≥2.4V). Signal integrity is preserved via low crosstalk (–92dB) and high off-isolation (–75dB), critical for precision sample-and-hold and guidance systems.
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 - enables accurate differential signal balancing and common-mode rejection in instrumentation |
| Charge Injection | <10pC - reduces voltage glitch and settling error in sample-and-hold circuits using 1nF hold capacitors |
| NO-Off Leakage | <5nA at +85°C - maintains accuracy in high-impedance sensor multiplexing without significant DC offset drift |
| Analog Signal Range | ±10V (dual supply) - supports full-rail operation with ±15V supplies, preserving dynamic range in audio and comms systems |
| Supply Range | ±5V to ±20V or +5V to +30V - allows flexible power architecture design including unbalanced rails like +24V/–5V |

Pinout & Package
MAX309EJE is housed in a 16-pin CERDIP package (hermetically sealed ceramic dual in-line), rated for –40°C to +85°C operation and suitable for high-reliability military and aerospace applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX309ESE | Same electrical specs but in 16-pin narrow SO package; lower thermal resistance, no hermetic seal | Better suited for commercial-grade, space-constrained PCBs where moisture resistance is not required | Select MAX309ESE for cost-sensitive industrial designs needing same performance in surface-mount format |
| ADG409BRZ | Higher on-resistance (100Ω typ vs. 75Ω typ), no guaranteed flatness spec, 1500V ESD rating | Limited suitability for military/aerospace due to lower ESD and unguaranteed RON flatness over full signal range | Choose ADG409BRZ only for non-critical commercial applications where CERDIP reliability is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX309EJE, MAX309ESE offers identical functionality in a smaller SO package but lacks hermetic sealing and extended temperature margin, while ADG409BRZ trades guaranteed flatness and ESD robustness for broader distributor availability - making MAX309EJE the sole choice for mission-critical, high-reliability differential multiplexing.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MAX309EJE?
The MAX309EJE is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This extended industrial temperature range is validated across all key parameters including on-resistance, leakage current, and switching speed - making it suitable for deployment in military radios and guidance systems exposed to wide ambient variations. The CERDIP package contributes to thermal stability and long-term reliability under thermal cycling stress.
Does the MAX309EJE support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX309EJE supports single-supply operation from +5V to +30V. In this configuration, V− must be connected to GND, and the analog signal range adjusts accordingly (e.g., 0V to +12V with +12V supply). All key specifications - including <100Ω on-resistance and <5nA NO-off leakage at +85°C - are guaranteed across the full single-supply range per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table.
How does the MAX309EJE differ from the MAX308EJE?
The MAX309EJE is a differential 2-of-4 analog multiplexer with two independent COM outputs (COMA/COMB) and two 4-input banks, whereas the MAX308EJE is a single-ended 1-of-8 device with one COM output and eight NO inputs. Their pinouts, truth tables, and signal routing architectures are fundamentally different - MAX309EJE enables true differential path selection, critical for noise-immune sensor interfaces in guidance systems.
Is the MAX309EJE pin-compatible with industry-standard alternatives like the DG409?
Yes, the MAX309EJE is a plug-in upgrade for the DG409 and DG509A, sharing identical pinout, logic interface, and functional behavior. However, it improves upon those legacy parts with guaranteed on-resistance matching (<5Ω), lower charge injection (<10pC), and enhanced ESD protection (>2000V), all without requiring PCB layout changes - confirmed in Maxim's General Description and Ordering Information sections.
What is the maximum analog signal range supported by the MAX309EJE?
The MAX309EJE supports an analog signal range of ±10V when operated with ±15V supplies, and up to ±20V with ±20V supplies - limited only by the absolute maximum ratings (V+ to V− ≤ 44V). This rail-to-rail capability is explicitly guaranteed in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics tables and Typical Operating Characteristics plots, ensuring full dynamic range utilization in audio routing and comms systems.
