Product details
Overview
MAX320CPA+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision dual SPST analog switch with two normally open (NO) channels, designed for ±3V to ±8V bipolar supply operation. It delivers 35Ω max on-resistance, <2Ω channel matching, 150ns max turn-on time, and 100pA max leakage - enabling high-fidelity signal routing in ±5V DAC/ADC interfaces and battery-powered test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX320CPA+ datasheet, MAX320CPA+ pinout, MAX320CPA+ application, or MAX320CPA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed break-before-make timing (not applicable), charge injection ≤5pC, ESD robustness >2000V, and compatibility with ±5V dual-rail systems requiring low RON flatness and sub-100ns switching.
Technical Context
The MAX320CPA+ implements CMOS-based transmission-gate architecture optimized for bidirectional analog signal switching across the full ±5V supply range. Its logic inputs accept TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds referenced to V+, and all analog terminals (COM, NO, NC) support rail-to-rail voltage swing from V− to V+ without degradation in RON flatness.
It operates with guaranteed performance over 0°C to +70°C, features internal ESD protection per Method 3015.7 (>2000V), and maintains <2.5nA max on-leakage at +85°C - confirming suitability for precision sample-and-hold and military radio front-end switching where signal integrity and thermal stability are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 35Ω max at ±5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision instrumentation paths |
| RON Matching | <2Ω max between channels - enables matched gain/phase response in differential or dual-path circuits |
| Charge Injection | 5pC max - limits voltage glitch on sampled nodes in ADC input stages and sample-and-hold amplifiers |
| Switching Speed | tON <150ns, tOFF <100ns - supports multiplexing of audio, video, and fast control signals up to ~3MHz |
| Leakage Current | 100pA max at +25°C, <2.5nA at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor and DAC output buffering |
| ESD Protection | >2000V per Method 3015.7 - provides robust handling during board assembly and field deployment |
| Supply Range | ±3V to ±8V - supports legacy industrial ±5V systems and extended-range test equipment |
Pinout & Package
MAX320CPA+ uses an 8-pin plastic DIP package (0.300" wide) rated for 0°C to +70°C operation. Pin functions are electrically isolated and fully bidirectional for analog signal routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive supply rail | Accepts +3V to +8V; powers internal logic and switch driver circuitry |
| V− | Negative supply rail | Accepts −3V to −8V; establishes reference for analog signal range and bias network |
| IN1, IN2 | Digital control inputs | TTL/CMOS-compatible; drive corresponding switches ON/OFF with logic-high = V+ and logic-low ≤ (V+ − 2.5V) |
| COM1, COM2 | Analog common terminals | Bidirectional signal ports; connect to source or load depending on system topology |
| NO1, NO2 | Normally open analog outputs | Connect to COMx only when respective INx = logic-high; no connection when INx = logic-low |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low on-resistance flatness | 4Ω max variation over full ±5V analog range - maintains consistent gain across signal amplitude |
| Guaranteed low charge injection | ≤5pC - prevents settling errors in high-resolution data acquisition systems |
| Bipolar supply flexibility | Operates from ±3V to ±8V - eliminates need for level-shifting in mixed-voltage systems |
| Ultra-low power dissipation | 1.25mW typical at ±5V - extends battery life in portable guidance and test instruments |
| High off-isolation | 72dB at 1MHz - suppresses crosstalk between adjacent switched channels in audio/video routing |
Applications

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage range supported by the MAX320CPA+?
The MAX320CPA+ operates from ±3V to ±8V dual supplies, with absolute maximum ratings allowing V+ up to (V− − 0.3V) and up to +17V total supply differential. This makes the MAX320CPA+ suitable for both standard ±5V systems and extended-range applications such as high-voltage test fixtures - provided V+ − V− does not exceed 17V and individual rails remain within specified limits.
Does the MAX320CPA+ support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, the MAX320CPA+ supports analog signals from V− to V+ on all COM, NO, and NC pins. Its CMOS transmission-gate design ensures minimal RON variation (<4Ω flatness) across the full ±5V range, enabling accurate switching of signals such as audio waveforms, sensor outputs, and DAC voltages without clipping or distortion - a key capability confirmed in the MAX320CPA+ datasheet's Typical Operating Characteristics.
Is the MAX320CPA+ pin-compatible with other variants in the MAX320 family?
Yes, the MAX320CPA+ shares identical pinout and footprint with MAX321CPA+ and MAX322CPA+ in the 8-pin DIP package. All three devices use the same V+, V−, IN1/IN2, COM1/COM2, and NO1/NC1/NO2/NC2 assignments - enabling drop-in substitution in hardware where logic polarity or switch configuration (NO vs NC) aligns with system requirements.
What is the guaranteed charge injection specification for the MAX320CPA+?
The MAX320CPA+ guarantees ≤5pC maximum charge injection, measured with CL = 1.0nF, VGEN = 0V, and RGEN = 0Ω per Figure 4 of the datasheet. This low value minimizes voltage glitches on high-impedance nodes - critical for maintaining accuracy in sample-and-hold circuits and precision ADC input stages where the MAX320CPA+ is commonly deployed.
How does the MAX320CPA+ handle ESD events during handling or operation?
The MAX320CPA+ incorporates on-chip protection delivering >2000V ESD immunity per Method 3015.7, verified during production testing. This allows safe manual handling and operation in environments prone to static discharge - such as field-deployed test equipment and avionics maintenance - without requiring external protection components, provided supply sequencing and absolute maximum ratings are observed per the MAX320CPA+ datasheet guidelines.
