Product details
Overview
MAX325ESA+ from Analog Devices is a precision dual SPST analog switch with one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) channel, designed for single-supply operation from +2.7V to +16V. It delivers 60Ω max on-resistance, <5pC charge injection, guaranteed break-before-make switching, and operates across -40°C to +85°C in an 8-pin SO package - ideal for battery-powered audio/video routing and precision sample-and-hold circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX325ESA+ datasheet, MAX325ESA+ pinout, MAX325ESA+ application, or MAX325ESA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-configuration topology, RON flatness (<6Ω), low leakage (<2.5nA at +85°C), and TTL/CMOS logic compatibility under single-supply conditions.
Technical Context
The MAX325ESA+ implements complementary MOSFET-based SPST switches with independent control of NO and NC paths per channel. Its break-before-make timing (2ns min) prevents signal shorting during state transitions, and internal level-shifting enables rail-to-rail analog signal handling (0V to V+) without degradation in RON flatness.
It uses a single positive supply referenced to GND, with logic inputs compatible with TTL thresholds at +5V and rail-to-rail operation at other voltages. Charge injection is minimized via matched transistor geometry and layout symmetry, ensuring sub-5pC error in precision sampling applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.7V to +16V - supports wide-input industrial and battery systems without dual-supply complexity |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 60Ω max at +25°C, +5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in sensor/ADC front-ends |
| RON Flatness | <6Ω max over full analog range - maintains consistent channel gain across 0V–V+ signal swing |
| Charge Injection | <5pC - limits voltage glitch in sample-and-hold and multiplexed DAC interfaces |
| Break-Before-Make Delay | 2ns min - eliminates momentary short-circuit risk when switching between NO/NC paths |
| Leakage Current | <2.5nA at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor nodes and battery-monitoring circuits |
| Switching Speed | tON <150ns, tOFF <100ns - enables fast channel selection in test equipment and comms signal routing |
Pinout & Package
MAX325ESA+ is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline (SO) package, RoHS-compliant, with standard 1.27mm pitch and 5.00mm × 4.00mm body dimensions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | NO1 | Normally open analog terminal for Channel 1 - connects to COM1 only when IN1 = logic high |
| 2 | COM1 | Common analog node for Channel 1 - bidirectional I/O path shared with NO1 and NC2 |
| 3 | IN2 | Logic input controlling Channel 2 - high enables NO2, low enables NC2 |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for supply and logic - must be low-impedance for leakage and noise control |
| 5 | NO2 | Normally open analog terminal for Channel 2 - connects to COM2 only when IN2 = logic high |
| 6 | COM2 | Common analog node for Channel 2 - bidirectional I/O path shared with NO2 and NC2 |
| 7 | IN1 | Logic input controlling Channel 1 - high enables NO1, low enables NC1 |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply input - powers analog and logic sections; absolute max +17V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX325EPA+ | Same electrical specs but in 8-pin Plastic DIP package - larger footprint, higher thermal resistance | Suitable for prototyping or through-hole PCBs; not recommended for space-constrained portable designs | Select MAX325EPA+ only when DIP mounting or manual soldering is required; SO package preferred for production volume |
| ADG1419BRMZ | Higher RON (1.3Ω typ), wider bandwidth (180MHz), but requires dual ±15V or single +36V supply | Targeted at high-speed, high-voltage test equipment - not drop-in compatible due to supply and logic interface differences | Choose ADG1419BRMZ only when >100MHz bandwidth or >±15V signal handling is needed; MAX325ESA+ remains optimal for low-power, single-supply precision routing |
Compared with MAX325EPA+, MAX325ESA+ offers superior thermal performance and smaller PCB area; compared with ADG1419BRMZ, it provides lower power consumption (<5μW vs. ~1.2mW), simpler supply architecture, and guaranteed break-before-make - making it the preferred choice for battery-operated and thermally constrained precision analog systems.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed break-before-make timing specification for MAX325ESA+?
The MAX325ESA+ guarantees a minimum break-before-make delay of 2ns under RL = 300Ω and CL = 35pF conditions. This parameter is explicitly specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for the MAX325 variant and ensures no overlap between NO and NC conduction paths during logic transitions - a critical feature distinguishing MAX325ESA+ from MAX323/MAX324 variants.
Does MAX325ESA+ support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, MAX325ESA+ supports analog signal ranges from 0V to V+ across its NO, NC, and COM terminals. The datasheet confirms this in the "Analog Signal Range" parameter (0 to V+ V) and shows minimal RON variation over the full range in Typical Operating Characteristics plots - enabling accurate switching of signals spanning the entire supply rail without external level shifting.
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for MAX325ESA+?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for MAX325ESA+ is +17V, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation beyond this limit risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, the recommended supply range remains +2.7V to +16V - with electrical characteristics fully specified across that span.
Can MAX325ESA+ operate from a +3.3V supply?
Yes, MAX325ESA+ is fully functional at +3.3V. The datasheet includes dedicated Electrical Characteristics tables for +3.0V to +3.6V operation, specifying RON (up to 275Ω max), switching times (tON up to 500ns), and leakage performance. Logic inputs require rail-to-rail drive (0V/3.3V) for optimal power efficiency and noise immunity.
Is MAX325ESA+ pin-compatible with other MAX32x variants in the same package?
Yes, MAX325ESA+ shares identical pinout and package (8-pin SO) with MAX323ESA+ and MAX324ESA+. All three variants use the same pin configuration: Pin 1 = NO1/NC1, Pin 2 = COM1, Pin 3 = IN2, Pin 4 = GND, Pin 5 = NO2/NC2, Pin 6 = COM2, Pin 7 = IN1, Pin 8 = V+. This allows direct substitution in layouts designed for the MAX32x family - though functional behavior differs per variant (NO/NO, NC/NC, or NO/NC).
