Product details
Overview
The MAX320CSA+ 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-to-channel RON matching, and 150ns max turn-on time, enabling high-fidelity signal routing in ±5V DAC/ADC interfaces and battery-powered test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX320CSA+ datasheet, MAX320CSA+ pinout, MAX320CSA+ application, or MAX320CSA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed charge injection ≤5pC, 100pA max off-leakage at +25°C, ESD robustness >2000V per Method 3015.7, and SO-8 packaging with 0°C to +70°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The MAX320CSA+ implements complementary bipolar-CMOS (BiCMOS) switch architecture with integrated level-shifting logic to support true dual-supply analog signal switching from V− to V+. Its break-before-make timing is not implemented-only the MAX322 variant guarantees this feature.
All channels operate bidirectionally with analog signal range spanning full rail-to-rail (V− to V+), and input logic thresholds scale with V+ (VIH = V+ − 1.5V, VIL = V+ − 2.5V). Leakage performance is specified across temperature: <2.5nA max COM on-leakage at +85°C and <100pA typical at +25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 35Ω max at ±5V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision instrumentation paths |
| RON Matching | <2Ω max between channels - critical for matched gain/phase in differential or dual-path signal conditioning |
| Charge Injection | 5pC max - limits voltage glitch on sampled nodes in S/H circuits and ADC front-ends |
| Turn-On/Off Time | tON <150ns, tOFF <100ns - supports multiplexing of audio, video, and fast control signals up to ~3MHz |
| Supply Range | ±3V to ±8V - enables direct interface with legacy ±5V and ±12V systems without level translation |
| ESD Protection | >2000V per Method 3015.7 - provides robust handling margin during board assembly and field service |
| Leakage Current | 100pA max at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor and reference voltage routing |
Pinout & Package
MAX320CSA+ is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, rated for 0°C to +70°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive supply rail | Bipolar supply connection; must be applied before V− and logic/analog signals to prevent latch-up |
| IN1 | Channel 1 logic control input | Active-high control: drives NO1 closed when high (≥V+ − 1.5V); compatible with TTL/CMOS logic levels |
| COM2 | Channel 2 common analog terminal | Bidirectional signal path node; connects to NO2 when IN2 is high; supports rail-to-rail analog swing |
| NO2 | Channel 2 normally open analog terminal | Open-circuit when IN2 low; closed to COM2 when IN2 high; no internal pull-down or pull-up |
| V− | Negative supply rail | Must be ≤0V; clamping diodes protect pins against overvoltage relative to V− and V+ |
| IN2 | Channel 2 logic control input | Independent control of second switch; no inter-channel timing dependency or synchronization requirement |
| COM1 | Channel 1 common analog terminal | Primary signal interface point for first switch; identical electrical behavior to COM2 |
| NO1 | Channel 1 normally open analog terminal | Signal output/input node for first switch; matches NO2 in capacitance (9pF off, 35pF on) and leakage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low on-resistance flatness | 4Ω max variation over full analog signal range - maintains consistent gain and THD across ±5V inputs |
| Bipolar supply compatibility | Operates natively from ±3V to ±8V - eliminates need for external charge pumps or level shifters in mixed-voltage systems |
| Guaranteed low charge injection | ≤5pC max - reduces settling error and pedestal distortion in precision sampling applications |
| Ultra-low power consumption | 1.25mW typical at ±5V - extends battery life in portable medical, handheld test, and remote sensor devices |
| High off-isolation | 72dB min at 1MHz - suppresses crosstalk between adjacent switched channels in multi-signal routing |
Applications
| Sample-and-Hold Circuits | ±5V DAC/ADC Interfaces |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1421BRMZ | Single-supply only (±15V max), 1.8Ω typical RON, 12pC charge injection, 16-lead LFCSP | Requires external level-shifting for ±5V systems; better RON but higher charge injection degrades S/H accuracy | Select ADG1421BRMZ only if single-supply operation and ultra-low RON outweigh charge injection and package constraints. |
| TS5A23157DCKR | Single-supply (1.65V–5.5V), 0.9Ω RON, 15pC charge injection, 6-pin SC70 | Not compatible with bipolar supplies; unsuitable for ±5V DAC/ADC or military radio applications requiring rail-to-rail analog swing | TS5A23157DCKR fits space-constrained, low-voltage consumer designs-but cannot replace MAX320CSA+ in dual-supply infrastructure. |
Compared with ADG1421BRMZ and TS5A23157DCKR, the MAX320CSA+ uniquely supports true bipolar operation with guaranteed low charge injection and industrial temperature range in SO-8, making it irreplaceable in legacy ±5V test and measurement systems where signal fidelity and supply simplicity are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage range for the MAX320CSA+?
The MAX320CSA+ supports dual-supply operation from ±3V to ±8V, with absolute maximum ratings specifying V+ up to (V− − 0.3V) and +17V, and V− down to (V+ + 0.3V) and −17V. The total supply span (V+ − V−) must not exceed 17V. Operation at ±8V is fully characterized and supported per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table.
Does the MAX320CSA+ support break-before-make switching?
No, the MAX320CSA+ does not implement break-before-make functionality. That feature is exclusive to the MAX322 variant (one NO + one NC switch). The MAX320CSA+ contains two independent normally open switches with no timing coordination between channels - each operates autonomously based on its respective INx input.
What is the guaranteed charge injection specification for the MAX320CSA+?
The MAX320CSA+ guarantees ≤5pC maximum charge injection, measured under standard test conditions (CL = 1.0nF, VGEN = 0V, RGEN = 0Ω). This value is confirmed across temperature and is critical for minimizing voltage glitches in sample-and-hold and precision ADC front-end applications using the MAX320CSA+.
Can the MAX320CSA+ be used with single-supply systems?
The MAX320CSA+ is designed for dual-supply operation and is not characterized or recommended for single-supply use. For single-supply analog switching, Maxim specifies the MAX323/MAX324/MAX325 family. Attempting to bias the MAX320CSA+ with V− = GND may violate absolute maximum ratings and result in undefined behavior or damage.
What package type and temperature range does the MAX320CSA+ have?
The MAX320CSA+ is supplied in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, with dimensions 3.9mm × 4.9mm and 1.27mm lead pitch. It is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature, indicated by the "C" suffix in the ordering code.
