Product details
Overview
MAX318CJA from Maxim Integrated is a precision CMOS single-pole single-throw (SPST) analog switch with normally open (NO) configuration, designed for rail-to-rail signal routing in high-fidelity sample-and-hold and test equipment circuits. It delivers <35Ω maximum on-resistance, <10pC charge injection, <6nA off-leakage at +85°C, and 175ns turn-on time under ±15V dual-supply operation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX318CJA datasheet, MAX318CJA pinout, MAX318CJA application, or MAX318CJA equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed matched on-resistance (<2Ω), flat on-resistance over signal range (∆3Ω max), ESD tolerance >±2000V, and CERDIP-8 packaging for extended temperature stability in military and avionics systems.
Technical Context
The MAX318CJA implements a silicon-gate CMOS transmission gate architecture optimized for low distortion and minimal signal-dependent resistance variation. Its bipolar supply support (±4.5V to ±20V) enables true rail-to-rail analog handling up to ±15V, while TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs (VL referenced) decouple control voltage from analog rails.
Charge injection is actively minimized via balanced transistor sizing and layout symmetry, yielding ≤10pC across the full analog range. Off-isolation exceeds 68dB at 1MHz, and break-before-make timing is not applicable-consistent with its SPST NO topology.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On Resistance | <35Ω max - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision signal paths |
| On Resistance Match | <2Ω between channels - critical for matched-pair applications like differential switching |
| Charge Injection | <10pC - limits voltage glitch in sample-and-hold capacitors, preserving acquisition accuracy |
| Off-Leakage Current | <6nA at +85°C - maintains high-impedance isolation in battery-powered or high-Z sensor interfaces |
| Turn-On Time | <175ns - supports >5MHz switching rates in automated test equipment and comms channel selection |
| ESD Rating | >±2000V HBM - enables robust handling during board assembly and field maintenance |
| Analog Signal Range | ±15V (bipolar), 0–12V (single-supply) - accommodates industrial sensor outputs and audio line levels |
Pinout & Package
MAX318CJA is housed in an 8-pin CERDIP package (0.300″ wide), rated for 0°C to +70°C operation, with hermetic sealing and gold-plated leads suitable for high-reliability military and aerospace applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | COM | Analog-switch common terminal - connects to load or signal path requiring controlled connection |
| 2 | N.C. | No connect - internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
| 3 | GND | Logic ground reference - provides return path for VL and digital input signals |
| 4 | V+ | Analog positive supply - sets upper rail of analog signal range; supports up to +44V absolute max |
| 5 | VL | Logic-level supply - powers internal gate drivers; compatible with 5V TTL or CMOS logic |
| 6 | IN | Digital control input - active-high logic controls NO switch state (ON when IN = high) |
| 7 | V- | Analog negative supply - sets lower rail of analog signal range; supports down to –44V absolute min |
| 8 | NO | Normally open analog terminal - connects to COM only when IN is asserted high |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog handling | Supports ±15V analog signals with no clipping or distortion, enabling direct interfacing with op-amp outputs and sensor bridges |
| Guaranteed flat on-resistance | ∆3Ω max over full analog range ensures consistent gain and linearity in precision instrumentation front-ends |
| Low power consumption | 35µW typical supply current allows integration into always-on battery-powered subsystems without thermal penalty |
| Bipolar and single-supply operation | Operates from ±4.5V to ±20V or +10V to +30V - simplifies system power architecture in mixed-signal designs |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | Accepts standard 0.8V/2.4V logic thresholds independent of V+/V−, eliminating level-shifter requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1419BRMZ | Single SPST NO, 1.8Ω typical RON, but requires ≥±5V supplies and lacks CERDIP packaging | Better RON match but limited to commercial temp range (–40°C to +125°C); no MIL-qualified variants available | Preferred for cost-sensitive industrial designs where hermeticity and military temp grade are not required |
| TS5A23157DCUR | SPST NO, 0.9Ω RON, 5V-only single-supply operation, 1.2pC charge injection, SOT-23-6 package | Optimized for low-voltage portable electronics; incompatible with bipolar supplies or ±15V signal ranges | Suitable for consumer-grade battery systems but cannot replace MAX318CJA in rail-to-rail or high-temp military use cases |
Compared with ADG1419BRMZ and TS5A23157DCUR, the MAX318CJA uniquely combines CERDIP-8 hermetic reliability, guaranteed ±15V rail-to-rail operation, and military-grade temperature range in a single SPST NO configuration-making it irreplaceable in avionics signal routing and defense electronics where long-term parametric stability is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX318CJA?
The MAX318CJA supports a bipolar analog signal range of ±15V when operated with ±15V supplies, and a single-supply range of 0V to +12V with V− tied to GND. Absolute maximum ratings allow V+ up to +44V and V− down to –44V, but functional analog range remains constrained by supply voltages applied to V+ and V−. The MAX318CJA maintains rail-to-rail capability within these bounds.
Does the MAX318CJA require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on the IN pin?
No, the MAX318CJA features TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs with guaranteed recognition of 0.8V low and 2.4V high thresholds-no external biasing is needed. Input leakage is ±0.5µA max, allowing direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs or FPGA I/O banks. The MAX318CJA operates reliably without pull resistors across its full temperature range.
Can the MAX318CJA be used with unbalanced supplies such as +24V and –5V?
Yes, the MAX318CJA supports unbalanced supplies including +24V/V− configurations, provided the difference between V+ and V− does not exceed +44V and each supply remains within absolute maximum ratings. Analog signal range adjusts accordingly-for example, with V+ = +24V and V− = –5V, the usable range is approximately –5V to +24V. The MAX318CJA retains specified performance under such conditions.
What is the significance of the "CJA" suffix in MAX318CJA?
The "CJA" suffix denotes a CERDIP-8 package with 0°C to +70°C operating temperature range and military-grade ceramic hermetic construction. Unlike plastic DIP (CPA) or SO (CSA) variants, the CJA version offers superior moisture resistance, thermal stability, and long-term parameter retention-critical for aerospace, defense, and downhole applications. The MAX318CJA is qualified per MIL-STD-883 methods when requested.
How does charge injection in the MAX318CJA affect sample-and-hold circuit accuracy?
Charge injection in the MAX318CJA is guaranteed ≤10pC, directly translating to voltage error on hold capacitors: ΔV = Q/CHOLD. For a 100pF hold capacitor, this yields ≤100mV error-well within 12-bit resolution. Layout best practices (minimizing stray capacitance, symmetric routing) further suppress error. The MAX318CJA's low, tightly specified charge injection makes it suitable for 14-bit+ data acquisition systems.
