Product details
Overview
MAX309ESE+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision dual 4-channel differential analog multiplexer IC designed for high-fidelity signal routing in demanding analog systems. It features <100Ω on-resistance, <5Ω channel-to-channel matching, <10pC charge injection, and supports ±5V to ±20V bipolar or +5V to +30V single-supply operation - enabling accurate signal switching in test equipment and military-grade guidance systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX309ESE+ datasheet, MAX309ESE+ pinout, MAX309ESE+ application, or MAX309ESE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance flatness (≤7Ω), low leakage (<5nA NO-off at +85°C), rail-to-rail signal handling, TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, and plug-in upgrade capability for DG409/DG509A.
Technical Context
The MAX309ESE+ implements a CMOS decode logic architecture with two independent 4-channel differential switch banks (COMA/NO1A–NO4A and COMB/NO1B–NO4B), each selected via A1/A0 address inputs and globally enabled by EN. Its silicon-gate process ensures matched switch characteristics and minimal charge injection across temperature.
It operates with true rail-to-rail analog signal ranges up to ±20V (bipolar) or 0V to +30V (single-supply), maintains sub-250ns transition time, and guarantees break-before-make timing to prevent signal shorting during channel changes - critical for sample-and-hold and audio routing integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance | <100Ω max - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision measurement paths |
| On-Resistance Matching | <5Ω max between channels - enables accurate differential signal balancing and ratio-metric accuracy |
| Charge Injection | <10pC - reduces settling error and glitch energy in sample-and-hold and data acquisition circuits |
| NO-Off Leakage | <5nA at +85°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and battery-powered systems |
| Analog Signal Range | ±20V (bipolar) or 0V to +30V (single) - supports full-rail signal routing without clipping or distortion |
| Transition Time | <250ns - enables fast channel switching in automatic test equipment and real-time control loops |
| Supply Range | +5V to +30V or ±5V to ±20V - provides design flexibility across industrial, military, and communications platforms |
Pinout & Package
MAX309ESE+ is housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package (SO) with 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, and rated for -40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0, A1 | Address Inputs | Selects active channel pair (1–4) within each differential bank; TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds |
| EN | Enable Input | Global enable/disable of both differential banks; low = all switches open, high = address decoding active |
| COMA, COMB | Analog Outputs | Differential common outputs - each connects to one NOx pair (e.g., COMA ↔ NO1A–NO4A) |
| NO1A–NO4A, NO1B–NO4B | Analog Inputs | Bidirectional differential channel terminals; support ±20V signal swing with low capacitance (≤3pF off-state) |
| V+, V- | Supply Rails | Accept bipolar (±5V to ±20V) or single-supply (V- = GND, V+ = +5V to +30V) configurations |
| GND | Ground Reference | Logic ground reference; electrically isolated from analog signal path but tied to substrate via V+ |

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 and specs, but in 16-pin plastic DIP package - larger footprint, higher thermal resistance | Suitable for prototyping or through-hole production where SOIC reflow is unavailable | Select MAX309EPE+ only when manual assembly or socket-based validation is required |
| ADG409BRUZ | 4-channel differential CMOS mux; 75Ω on-resistance, 25pC charge injection, -40°C to +85°C, TSSOP-16 | Higher on-resistance and charge injection limit use in high-precision sample-and-hold or low-leakage sensor front-ends | Choose ADG409BRUZ only if cost sensitivity outweighs need for sub-10pC charge injection and <5Ω matching |
Compared with MAX309ESE+, MAX309EPE+ offers identical electrical performance in a through-hole package, while ADG409BRUZ trades precision (higher RON, higher Q) for broader vendor availability - making MAX309ESE+ optimal for space-constrained, high-fidelity designs requiring guaranteed matching and low glitch energy.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX309ESE+?
The MAX309ESE+ supports an analog signal range of ±20V with bipolar supplies (V+ = +20V, V- = -20V) or 0V to +30V with single-supply operation (V- = GND). This rail-to-rail capability allows full-scale signal handling without clipping, making MAX309ESE+ suitable for high-dynamic-range applications such as military radio IF stages and precision instrumentation front-ends.
Does the MAX309ESE+ require external pull-up resistors on its address or enable pins?
No, the MAX309ESE+ does not require external pull-up resistors. Its CMOS logic inputs (A0, A1, EN) have TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds (VAL ≤ 0.8V, VAH ≥ 2.4V) and exhibit low input current (±1.0µA max), allowing direct interfacing with microcontrollers and FPGAs. The internal structure ensures reliable logic recognition without external biasing - a key feature confirmed in the MAX309ESE+ datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table.
Can the MAX309ESE+ be used as a direct replacement for the DG409 in existing designs?
Yes, the MAX309ESE+ is explicitly designed as a plug-in upgrade for the DG409 and DG509A. It shares identical pinout, logic interface, and functional behavior - including dual 4-channel differential switching, address decoding, and enable control. No PCB changes are required, and MAX309ESE+ improves upon the DG409 with lower on-resistance (<100Ω vs. ~120Ω), tighter matching (<5Ω vs. ~10Ω), and enhanced ESD protection (>2000V vs. ~200V).
What is the guaranteed on-resistance matching specification for the MAX309ESE+ across temperature?
The MAX309ESE+ guarantees on-resistance matching of <5Ω maximum between any two channels across its full operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This specification is tested and guaranteed per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table under "∆RON - On-Resistance Matching Between Channels", ensuring consistent differential signal integrity even in thermally variable environments like avionics bays or outdoor communications shelters.
How does the charge injection performance of the MAX309ESE+ impact sample-and-hold circuit accuracy?
The MAX309ESE+ guarantees charge injection of <10pC, directly limiting the voltage glitch injected into a sample-and-hold capacitor during channel switching. For example, with a 1nF hold capacitor, this yields <10mV step error - enabling sub-12-bit accuracy without additional correction. This low Q value, combined with <5Ω matching, makes MAX309ESE+ ideal for high-resolution data acquisition where aperture uncertainty must be minimized.
