Product details
Overview
MAX312LEUE+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad, single-pole/single-throw (SPST), normally closed (NC) analog switch IC designed for precision signal routing in industrial and test equipment. It delivers 10Ω max on-resistance, 1.5Ω max on-resistance matching between channels, ±4.5V to ±20V dual-supply or +4.5V to +36V single-supply operation, and rail-to-rail analog signal handling up to ±15V. It is commonly used in audio signal routing and sample-and-hold circuits where low distortion and tight channel matching are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX312LEUE+ datasheet, MAX312LEUE+ pinout, MAX312LEUE+ application, or MAX312LEUE+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin definitions, real-world application mappings, and validated alternative options - all grounded in the official MAX312L/MAX313L/MAX314L datasheet Rev 1 (9/08) and Maxim's ordering documentation.
Technical Context
The MAX312LEUE+ implements four independent NC SPST switches using CMOS process technology with 92 transistors. Its logic inputs accept +3V-compatible thresholds (VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.8V), enabling direct interfacing with microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting.
It supports both dual-supply (±4.5V to ±20V) and single-supply (+4.5V to +36V) configurations, with rail-to-rail analog signal handling across the full supply range. The device eliminates power-supply sequencing constraints present in legacy MAX312 variants, allowing flexible startup sequences without latch-up risk.
Key Specifications

| On-Resistance (RON) | 10Ω max at TA = –40°C to +85°C, ensuring minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision analog paths. |
| RON Matching | 1.5Ω max between channels, enabling matched gain/attenuation in differential or multi-channel signal paths. |
| Analog Signal Range | ±15V with ±15V supplies, supporting full rail-to-rail operation for bipolar sensor and audio signals. |
| Logic Compatibility | +3V logic inputs (VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.8V), compatible with 3.3V digital controllers without external translators. |
| Off-Leakage Current | ±2.5nA max at +85°C, minimizing DC error in high-impedance sample-and-hold or sensor front-ends. |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 275ns / 235ns max (dual supply), enabling reliable switching in data-acquisition systems up to ~1MHz sampling rates. |
| Crosstalk | >96dB at 20kHz, preserving signal integrity in multi-channel audio routing applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX312LEUE+ is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (package code U16-1, document 21-0066), with exposed pad not connected internally and no thermal requirement specified in datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 (Pins 1, 8, 9, 16) | Logic Control Inputs | Active-low control for NC switches; logic '0' closes path, '1' opens path - matches standard TTL/CMOS drive levels. |
| COM1–COM4 (Pins 2, 7, 10, 15) | Analog Common Terminals | Signal input/output nodes shared between NC and COM; must be driven within V– to V+ rails. |
| NC1–NC4 (Pins 3, 6, 11, 14) | Analog Normally Closed Terminals | Default-connected analog outputs; open only when corresponding INx = logic high. |
| V+ (Pin 13) | Positive Analog Supply | Accepts +4.5V to +36V (single) or +4.5V to +20V (dual); powers internal switch circuitry and defines upper analog rail. |
| V– (Pin 4) | Negative Analog Supply | Accepts –4.5V to –20V (dual) or GND (single); defines lower analog rail and bias reference for internal logic. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Ground Reference | Digital and substrate reference; must be tied to system ground, separate from analog return if noise-sensitive. |
| N.C. (Pin 12) | No Connection | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or ESD path disruption. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| +3V logic compatibility | Enables direct interface with 3.3V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals spanning full V– to V+ range, eliminating clipping in ±12V instrumentation and audio systems. |
| Guaranteed RON flatness (2Ω max) | Maintains consistent on-resistance across signal amplitude, critical for THD <0.01% in audio routing applications. |
| Low charge injection (±30pC) | Minimizes voltage glitch on sampled nodes, improving accuracy in precision sample-and-hold and ADC front-end designs. |
| Power-supply sequencing freedom | Eliminates mandatory V+/V–/VL startup order, simplifying power management in multi-rail systems and avoiding need for external protection diodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX312LCUE+ | Same functionality and pinout, but rated for 0°C to +70°C only; lower max junction temperature derating. | Suitable for commercial-grade instruments without extended temperature requirements. | Select MAX312LCUE+ only if ambient operating temperature stays within 0°C–70°C and long-term reliability at 85°C is not required. |
| ADG1412BRUZ | Quad SPST, but normally open (NO); 1.8Ω RON typical (vs. 10Ω max for MAX312LEUE+); requires 5V logic or level shift for 3.3V control. | Better for low-RON, low-leakage applications where NO default state is acceptable and higher supply voltage is available. | Choose ADG1412BRUZ when ultra-low on-resistance (<2Ω) and sub-nA leakage dominate over NC default behavior and +3V logic compatibility. |
Compared with MAX312LCUE+, the MAX312LEUE+ adds extended temperature support and identical performance; compared with ADG1412BRUZ, it trades lower RON for NC default state, +3V logic compatibility, and wider supply flexibility - making it optimal for ruggedized, microcontroller-driven analog routing where fail-safe closure is required.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage the MAX312LEUE+ can handle?
The MAX312LEUE+ supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V– to V+. With ±15V dual supplies, it handles ±15V signals; with +12V single supply and GND, it handles 0V to +12V. Absolute maximum ratings allow V+ up to +44V and V– down to –44V, but functional analog range remains bounded by the applied supply rails. Always ensure signal voltages stay within V– and V+ to avoid damage or undefined behavior.
Is the MAX312LEUE+ pin-compatible with older MAX312 variants?
Yes, the MAX312LEUE+ is pin-compatible with the legacy MAX312 (non-L) and MAX312C/D/E variants in the same 16-pin TSSOP package. It retains identical pin functions and electrical pinouts, including INx, COMx, NCx, V+, V–, GND, and N.C. However, the MAX312LEUE+ removes the VL pin and eliminates power-supply sequencing constraints - offering backward compatibility with enhanced robustness.
Does the MAX312LEUE+ support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX312LEUE+ fully supports single-supply operation from +4.5V to +36V. In this mode, connect V– to GND, set logic inputs relative to GND, and route analog signals between GND and V+. The device maintains 10Ω max on-resistance and ±2.5nA leakage at +85°C under single-supply conditions, making it suitable for battery-powered and industrial 24V systems.
What is the function of Pin 12 (N.C.) on the MAX312LEUE+?
Pin 12 on the MAX312LEUE+ is a no-connect (N.C.) terminal - it is not bonded internally and serves no electrical function. It must remain unconnected on the PCB to prevent unintended coupling, noise pickup, or ESD discharge paths. Do not tie it to GND, V+, or any other net; leave it floating per Maxim's recommended layout practice.
How does the MAX312LEUE+ differ from the MAX313LEUE+?
The MAX312LEUE+ is a quad normally closed (NC) SPST switch, while the MAX313LEUE+ is quad normally open (NO). Their pinouts differ: MAX312LEUE+ uses Pins 3,6,11,14 as NC terminals, whereas MAX313LEUE+ uses those same pins as NO terminals. Both share identical supply ranges, RON specs, logic thresholds, and temperature rating (–40°C to +85°C), but their default states and truth tables are inverted - selecting one depends entirely on fail-safe signal path requirements.
