Product details
Overview
MAX325ESA+T 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, 150ns max tON, 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+T datasheet, MAX325ESA+T pinout, MAX325ESA+T application, or MAX325ESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include verified break-before-make timing, leakage <2.5nA at +85°C, RON matching <2Ω, and SO-8 thermal derating of 5.88mW/°C above +70°C.
Technical Context
The MAX325ESA+T implements complementary MOSFET switch pairs per channel with rail-to-rail analog signal handling (0V to V+), enabling bidirectional signal flow on COM, NO, and NC terminals. Its internal logic accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs when V+ = 5V, and supports rail-to-rail logic drive at other supply voltages.
Break-before-make operation is guaranteed only for the MAX325 variant (not MAX323/MAX324), with tD ≤ 5ns at TA = +25°C under RL = 300Ω/CL = 35pF conditions. Charge injection is limited to 5pC max, and off-isolation exceeds 72dB at 1MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | +2.7V to +16V single supply - enables direct interface with 3.3V, 5V, and 12V systems without level shifters |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 60Ω max at +25°C, 75Ω max over full temperature range - ensures minimal signal attenuation in precision gain paths |
| RON Matching | <2Ω max between channels - critical for matched signal paths in differential or dual-channel instrumentation |
| Charge Injection | <5pC - limits voltage glitch in sample-and-hold and ADC front-end applications |
| Switching Speed | tON ≤ 150ns, tOFF ≤ 100ns - supports high-speed multiplexing up to ~3MHz effective bandwidth |
| Leakage Current | <2.5nA at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and long-hold capacitors |
| ESD Rating | >2000V per Method 3015.7 - enhances robustness in handheld and field-deployable equipment |
Pinout & Package
MAX325ESA+T is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline (SO) package with 1.27mm pitch, 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, and thermal derating of 5.88mW/°C above +70°C (471mW max at +70°C).
| 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 terminal for Channel 1 - bidirectional I/O path shared with NO1/NC1 |
| 3 | IN2 | Logic input controlling Channel 2 - active-high, TTL/CMOS compatible at V+ = 5V |
| 4 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference - must be low-impedance for leakage and noise control |
| 5 | NO2 / NC2 | Channel 2 terminal: NO2 for MAX323, NC2 for MAX324/MAX325 - MAX325 uses NC2 as normally closed path |
| 6 | COM2 | Common analog terminal for Channel 2 - bidirectional I/O path shared with NO2/NC2 |
| 7 | IN1 | Logic input controlling Channel 1 - active-high, drives internal switch gate directly |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply rail - powers internal logic and switch FETs; absolute max 17V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed break-before-make | Ensures no momentary short between NO and NC paths during transition - essential for fault-tolerant signal routing |
| Low 5pC charge injection | Minimizes hold-step error in precision sample-and-hold amplifiers and switched-capacitor filters |
| 60Ω max on-resistance | Reduces insertion loss and gain error in audio line drivers and DAC output buffers |
| 2.5nA max leakage at +85°C | Maintains DC accuracy in high-Z medical sensor front-ends and battery-monitoring shunt paths |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | Eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing with microcontrollers or FPGAs at 5V |

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 (9.09mW/°C derating) | Suitable for prototyping or through-hole PCBs; not recommended for space-constrained portable designs | Select MAX325EPA+ only when DIP layout compatibility or hand-soldering is required |
| ADG1419BRMZ | Single-supply capable (±5V dual or +12V single), 0.6Ω typical RON, but no guaranteed break-before-make and 12ns tON/tOFF | Better for low-RON precision muxes; unsuitable where break-before-make is mandatory for safety | Choose ADG1419BRMZ for ultra-low on-resistance needs, but verify absence of B-B-M is acceptable in your signal path |
Compared with MAX325ESA+T, MAX325EPA+ offers identical switching performance in a legacy DIP package with inferior thermal management, while ADG1419BRMZ trades guaranteed break-before-make for lower RON and faster switching - making MAX325ESA+T the optimal choice for safety-critical, battery-operated, or thermally constrained dual-path routing.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed break-before-make timing specification for MAX325ESA+T?
The MAX325ESA+T guarantees break-before-make delay (tD) ≤ 5ns at TA = +25°C with RL = 300Ω and CL = 35pF, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This parameter is unique to the MAX325 variant and is not offered in MAX323 or MAX324. The MAX325ESA+T's internal architecture enforces this timing to prevent signal shorting during channel transitions, making it suitable for fault-tolerant analog routing where simultaneous conduction must be avoided.
Does MAX325ESA+T support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, the MAX325ESA+T supports analog signal ranges from GND to V+ (0V to +16V) with minimal RON variation - confirmed by RON vs. VCOM curves showing flatness ≤6Ω over the full range. This rail-to-rail capability allows direct interfacing with sensors, DACs, and ADCs without external level-shifting circuitry. The device remains bidirectional, so COM, NO, and NC pins function interchangeably as inputs or outputs depending on system topology.
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for MAX325ESA+T, and what happens if exceeded?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for MAX325ESA+T is +17V referenced to GND. Exceeding this rating risks permanent damage due to junction breakdown or oxide stress, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above +16V is not characterized or guaranteed. For reliable long-term use, Analog Devices recommends limiting V+ to ≤16V, especially in high-temperature environments where leakage and power dissipation increase nonlinearly.
How does the leakage current of MAX325ESA+T perform at elevated temperatures?
The MAX325ESA+T specifies COM on-leakage ≤10nA and NO/NC off-leakage ≤5nA over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range, with worst-case values tested at maximum hot temperature and correlated at +25°C. At +85°C, typical leakage remains below 2.5nA - critical for maintaining accuracy in high-impedance sample-and-hold circuits and battery voltage monitoring paths where even nanoamp-level errors degrade resolution.
Is MAX325ESA+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX32x family?
Yes, MAX325ESA+T shares identical pinout and package (8-pin SO) with MAX323ESA and MAX324ESA - all three variants use the same physical layout and terminal assignments (NO1/COM1/IN2/GND/NC2/COM2/IN1/V+). This allows drop-in replacement in existing designs when switching between NO/NO, NC/NC, or NO/NC configurations, provided logic polarity and break-before-make requirements align with the target application.
