Product details
Overview
The MAX320ESA+T 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 ultra-low 5pC max charge injection - enabling high-fidelity signal routing in ±5V DAC/ADC interfaces and battery-powered test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX320ESA+T datasheet, MAX320ESA+T pinout, MAX320ESA+T application, or MAX320ESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed break-before-make timing (not applicable), low leakage (<2.5nA at +85°C), fast switching (tON < 150ns), and ESD robustness (>2000V per Method 3015.7).
Technical Context
The MAX320ESA+T implements CMOS-based transmission-gate architecture with bipolar-supply-compatible control logic, supporting bidirectional analog signal routing across the full V– to V+ range. Its matched RON and flat RON profile (<4Ω) ensure minimal gain error and THD in precision instrumentation paths.
Charge injection is tightly controlled (≤5pC) via balanced gate drive and layout symmetry, critical for sample-and-hold accuracy. Input logic thresholds scale with V+ (VINH = V+ – 1.5V, VINL = V+ – 2.5V), enabling interoperability with mixed-voltage digital controllers.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX320ESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, rated for –40°C to +85°C operation. The package features gull-wing leads, 1.27mm pitch, and JEDEC MS-012AC compliance.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | NO1 | Normally open analog terminal for Channel 1 - connects to COM1 when IN1 = logic low |
| 2 | COM2 | Common analog terminal for Channel 2 - bidirectional signal path shared with NO2/NC2 |
| 3 | IN2 | Digital control input for Channel 2 - active-low logic drives switch state |
| 4 | V− | Negative power supply rail - must be established before analog inputs |
| 5 | V+ | Positive power supply rail - sets logic threshold and analog range bounds |
| 6 | COM1 | Common analog terminal for Channel 1 - bidirectional signal path shared with NO1 |
| 7 | IN1 | Digital control input for Channel 1 - active-low logic drives switch state |
| 8 | NO2 | Normally open analog terminal for Channel 2 - connects to COM2 when IN2 = logic low |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low on-resistance flatness | <4Ω variation over full ±5V analog range - minimizes harmonic distortion in audio/video paths |
| Bipolar supply support | Operates from ±3V to ±8V - eliminates level-shifting in legacy industrial ±5V systems |
| Ultra-low power dissipation | <1.25mW at ±5V - extends runtime in portable multimeters and handheld analyzers |
| Guaranteed charge injection | ≤5pC - ensures sub-12-bit settling in 16-bit sample-and-hold front-ends |
| High off-isolation | 72dB at 1MHz - suppresses crosstalk between adjacent channels in dense PCB layouts |

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); higher RON (1.3Ω typical); no guaranteed charge injection spec | Requires level-shifting for ±5V systems; better suited for high-voltage industrial PLC I/O | Select when operating from single +12V/+15V rails and high-voltage tolerance is prioritized over charge injection |
| TS5A23157DGSR | Lower supply range (2.5V–5.5V); smaller 3.5Ω RON; 15pC charge injection; no bipolar support | Optimized for 3.3V portable devices; incompatible with true ±5V signal chains | Select for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where bipolar supplies are absent and 12-bit accuracy suffices |
Compared with ADG1421BRMZ and TS5A23157DGSR, the MAX320ESA+T uniquely supports true bipolar ±5V operation with guaranteed 5pC charge injection and 100pA leakage - making it the only option for precision, battery-powered, ±5V signal routing without level translation.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage range for the MAX320ESA+T?
The MAX320ESA+T operates from ±3V to ±8V dual supplies, with absolute maximum ratings specifying V+ up to (V− − 0.3V) and +17V total differential. Exceeding ±8V risks exceeding internal junction limits and degrading RON flatness. For reliable operation in ±5V systems - the most common use case - the MAX320ESA+T delivers optimal performance with 35Ω max RON and <2Ω matching.
Does the MAX320ESA+T support break-before-make switching?
No, the MAX320ESA+T does not implement break-before-make functionality. That feature is exclusive to the MAX322 variant (one NO + one NC switch). The MAX320ESA+T contains two normally open switches only, with independent IN1/IN2 control. Simultaneous activation of both channels is electrically permissible but requires external logic coordination to avoid unintended signal shorting in shared-path topologies.
What is the guaranteed charge injection specification for the MAX320ESA+T, and why does it matter?
The MAX320ESA+T guarantees ≤5pC maximum charge injection, measured with CL = 1.0nF and RGEN = 0Ω. This parameter directly impacts sample-and-hold accuracy: injecting 5pC into a 1nF capacitor causes a 5mV step error, limiting resolution in 12-bit+ systems. The MAX320ESA+T's 5pC spec - verified across temperature - ensures predictable settling behavior in precision data acquisition front-ends where the MAX320ESA+T routes sensor or reference signals.
Can the MAX320ESA+T be used with single-supply systems?
The MAX320ESA+T is designed for dual-supply operation and does not support true single-supply use. While its logic inputs tolerate voltages down to V−, the analog signal range remains bounded by V− to V+, requiring both rails. For single-supply applications (e.g., 3.3V or 5V only), Maxim recommends the pin-compatible MAX323/MAX324/MAX325 family - which share identical RON, leakage, and speed specs but are optimized for 3V–15V unipolar operation.
What package type and temperature grade does the MAX320ESA+T have?
The MAX320ESA+T is supplied in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package compliant with JEDEC MS-012AC, featuring gull-wing leads and 1.27mm pitch. It is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial and extended-temperature commercial applications. This temperature grade is confirmed in Maxim's official ordering information table, where "ESA" suffix denotes the SO package and "E" grade temperature range.
