Product details
Overview
MAX318CSA+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision CMOS single-pole single-throw (SPST) analog switch with normally open (NO) configuration, 35Ω maximum on-resistance, <10pC charge injection, and ±2000V ESD rating. It operates from bipolar supplies (±4.5V to ±20V) or single supply (+10V to +30V), enabling rail-to-rail analog signal switching in test equipment and guidance systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX318CSA+T datasheet, MAX318CSA+T pinout, MAX318CSA+T application, or MAX318CSA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance matching (<2Ω), flat on-resistance over signal range (∆3Ω max), low leakage (<6nA at +85°C), and fast switching (tON < 175ns, tOFF < 145ns).
Technical Context
The MAX318CSA+T implements a silicon-gate CMOS transmission gate architecture optimized for low distortion and minimal signal-dependent resistance variation. Its design guarantees matched on-resistance between channels and flat RON across the full analog input range (±15V with ±15V supplies), critical for precision sample-and-hold and multiplexing.
It supports TTL/CMOS logic compatibility via dedicated VL pin, accepts independent analog supply rails (V+, V−), and features electrostatic discharge protection exceeding ±2000V per Method 3015.7. The device is specified for 0°C to +70°C operation in an 8-pin SO package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On Resistance | 35Ω max at +25°C; ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation in precision analog paths. |
| On Resistance Match | <2Ω between channels; enables accurate differential or ratiometric measurements without calibration. |
| Charge Injection | <10pC; limits voltage glitch on sampled capacitors, preserving accuracy in sample-and-hold circuits. |
| Off-Leakage Current | <6nA at +85°C; prevents signal corruption in high-impedance sensor interfaces and battery-powered systems. |
| Switching Speed | tON < 175ns, tOFF < 145ns; supports high-throughput data acquisition and real-time control loops. |
| Analog Signal Range | ±15V with ±15V supplies; allows rail-to-rail handling of industrial and military-grade signal levels. |
| ESD Rating | >±2000V per Method 3015.7; provides robust handling during board assembly and field service. |
Pinout & Package
MAX318CSA+T is housed in an 8-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package, 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, 1.27mm lead pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant.
| 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 - not internally bonded; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
| 3 | GND | Logic ground reference - establishes 0V reference for IN and VL inputs; requires low-impedance PCB plane. |
| 4 | V+ | Analog positive supply input - sets upper rail for analog signal range; supports up to +44V absolute max. |
| 5 | VL | Logic-level positive supply - powers internal logic; configurable for TTL (5V) or CMOS (V+) compatibility. |
| 6 | IN | Digital control input - active-high logic; switches COM–NO path when high (typically >2.4V). |
| 7 | V− | Analog negative supply input - sets lower rail for analog signal range; supports down to −44V absolute min. |
| 8 | NO | Analog-switch normally open terminal - connects to COM only when IN is high; isolated otherwise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports ±15V signal swing with ±15V supplies - eliminates level-shifting in wide-dynamic-range systems. |
| Guaranteed flat on-resistance | ∆3Ω max over full analog range - maintains consistent gain and linearity in precision instrumentation. |
| Low power consumption | 35µW typical - extends battery life in portable test gear and remote sensing nodes. |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | Independent VL pin allows seamless interface with mixed-voltage digital controllers (3.3V or 5V). |
| Bipolar and single-supply operation | Operates from ±4.5V to ±20V or +10V to +30V - simplifies power architecture in legacy and new designs. |
Applications
| Test Equipment Signal Routing | Military Radio Channel Switching |
|---|---|
|

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 switch, 0.9Ω typical RON, but requires ≥±4.5V dual supply; no VL pin - logic referenced to V+. | Better RON for low-voltage precision, but lacks independent logic supply; unsuitable where TTL/CMOS voltage translation is needed. | Select ADG1419BRMZ only when ultra-low on-resistance dominates and logic supply flexibility is unnecessary. |
| TS5A23157DCKR | SPST NO, 0.9Ω typical RON, 5V single supply only, 1.65V–5.5V logic compatible, but max analog range limited to 0–5.5V. | Optimized for 3.3V/5V portable electronics; cannot support ±15V or rail-to-rail industrial signals like MAX318CSA+T. | Choose TS5A23157DCKR for cost-sensitive, low-voltage consumer designs - not for wide-range or military-grade use. |
Compared with ADG1419BRMZ and TS5A23157DCKR, the MAX318CSA+T uniquely combines rail-to-rail analog capability, independent VL logic supply, and guaranteed parameter matching - making it irreplaceable in high-fidelity, multi-supply test and defense systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX318CSA+T?
The MAX318CSA+T supports a maximum analog signal range of ±15V when operated with ±15V supplies. Its absolute maximum ratings allow V+ up to +44V and V− down to −44V, but the usable linear signal range is constrained by the applied supply rails. For example, with +12V/0V single supply, the analog range is 0V to +12V.
Does the MAX318CSA+T require separate logic and analog ground connections?
No - the MAX318CSA+T uses a single GND pin (Pin 3) for logic reference. The VL pin (Pin 5) sets the logic high threshold, while V+ and V− define the analog rails. Proper PCB layout requires a low-impedance ground plane connecting GND, V−, and system ground to minimize noise coupling into sensitive analog paths.
Can the MAX318CSA+T operate from a single +5V supply?
No - the MAX318CSA+T requires minimum supply voltages of ±4.5V for dual supply or +10V for single supply. A +5V-only supply falls below its operational specification and will not reliably turn the switch on or maintain specified RON and leakage performance. Use TS5A23157DCKR or similar 5V-optimized switches instead.
What does "N.C." on Pin 2 mean for the MAX318CSA+T?
"N.C." stands for "No Connect" - Pin 2 is not bonded to the die and has no internal connection. It must be left unconnected (floating) on the PCB. Do not tie it to GND, V+, or any other node, as this may introduce parasitic capacitance or risk latch-up in adjacent circuitry.
How is charge injection specified for the MAX318CSA+T, and why does it matter?
The MAX318CSA+T guarantees charge injection of less than 10pC, measured with VGEN = 0V and CL = 10nF. This parameter directly impacts sample-and-hold accuracy: injected charge causes voltage glitches on hold capacitors, leading to acquisition errors. Low charge injection ensures sub-LSB error in 14-bit+ data acquisition systems.
