Product details
Overview
MAX328CPE from Maxim Integrated is a monolithic CMOS 1-of-8 single-ended analog multiplexer with ultra-low off-leakage (1pA typ at +25°C), 2.5kΩ typical on-resistance, and ±15V dual-supply operation. It serves as a precision signal-routing switch in high-impedance data-acquisition front-ends, supports fault-tolerant design with external 40kΩ resistors, and operates across 0°C to +70°C.
For engineers reviewing the MAX328CPE datasheet, MAX328CPE pinout, MAX328CPE application, or MAX328CPE equivalent, key selection considerations include leakage-critical channel switching, rail-to-rail analog signal range, break-before-make timing (0.2µs), TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, and pin-for-pin replacement capability for DG508 and MAX358.
Technical Context
The MAX328CPE implements an 8-channel single-ended analog switch matrix controlled by three address bits (A0–A2) and an active-high enable (EN). Its CMOS transmission-gate architecture ensures bidirectional signal flow and analog-signal range spanning V− to V+, enabling direct interfacing with op amps and ADCs without level-shifting.
It features latchup-proof construction, guaranteed low leakage over temperature (±5nA max at TMAX), and stable RDS(ON) performance across ±5V to ±18V supply ranges. The device sustains indefinite 110V AC faults when used with 40kΩ input resistors, generating less than 40nV error under normal signal conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | −15V to +15V - supports rail-to-rail input signals with ±15V supplies, eliminating need for external clamping diodes |
| Drain-Source On-Resistance | 2.5kΩ typ - enables low gain error in precision gain-setting or sensor multiplexing applications |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1pA typ at +25°C - critical for maintaining accuracy in high-source-impedance circuits (e.g., pH probes, photodiode amps) |
| Switching Time | 1.5µs max - suitable for moderate-speed data logging and control system scanning |
| Break-Before-Make Interval | 0.2µs - prevents momentary shorting between channels during address transitions |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±5V to ±18V - allows flexible biasing in industrial and aerospace systems with unbalanced rails (e.g., +12V/−5V) |
| Power Dissipation | 1.9mW at ±15V - enables use in battery-powered portable instrumentation |
Pinout & Package
MAX328CPE is supplied in a 16-pin plastic DIP package (0.300" wide), RoHS-compliant and lead-free (indicated by "+" suffix).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | V− | Negative supply rail input - must be connected to system negative voltage (e.g., −15V); defines lower analog signal limit |
| 2–7 | S1–S4, S5–S8 | Eight bidirectional analog inputs - accept signals up to ±15V; internally routed to output D based on A0–A2 address |
| 8 | D | Bidirectional analog output - connects to selected input channel; interfaces directly with high-Z op amp or ADC input |
| 9–12 | S8–S5 | Continuation of analog input set - pins 9–12 correspond to S8, S7, S6, S5 per top-view diagram |
| 13 | A2 | MSB address input - selects one of eight channels in binary (A2A1A0); TTL/CMOS compatible (0.8V/2.4V thresholds) |
| 14 | A1 | Mid-bit address input - part of 3-bit decode controlling channel selection |
| 15 | A0 | LSB address input - completes 3-bit address; all address inputs are latched on EN assertion |
| 16 | EN | Active-high enable - disables all switches when low; provides power-down mode and eliminates crosstalk during reconfiguration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low off-leakage (1pA typ) | Preserves signal integrity in >1GΩ source impedance applications such as electrochemical sensors and piezoelectric transducers |
| Bidirectional analog signal path | Enables reuse as demultiplexer or bidirectional bus switch without redesigning signal flow topology |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal range | Accepts inputs from V− to V+ without clipping - simplifies front-end design for ±10V industrial I/O modules |
| Pin-compatible with DG508/MAX358 | Allows drop-in upgrade path for legacy designs requiring lower leakage and improved fault tolerance |
| Fault-tolerant configuration support | With external 40kΩ resistors, withstands indefinite 110V AC faults while maintaining <40nV error on nominal signals |
Applications
| Control Systems | Data-Acquisition Systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DG508ACJ | Higher off-leakage (500pA typ), higher RDS(ON) (300Ω min), no fault-tolerance design support | Limited to lower-precision, non-fault-critical industrial controls | Select only if legacy footprint compatibility is mandatory and leakage <10pA is not required |
| MAX358CPE+ | Same pinout and function but rated for −40°C to +85°C; identical leakage and RDS(ON) specs | Suitable for extended-temperature automotive or outdoor data loggers | Choose MAX358CPE+ when operating beyond 0°C to +70°C range is required; otherwise MAX328CPE offers cost advantage |
Compared with DG508ACJ, MAX328CPE delivers 500× lower leakage and integrated fault protection; versus MAX358CPE+, it trades extended temperature range for lower cost in commercial-grade applications - both alternatives lack the 110V AC fault endurance capability unless externally augmented.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX328CPE?
The MAX328CPE has an absolute maximum V+ rating of +44V referenced to V−, and continuous operation is specified from ±5V to ±18V. Operation outside this range risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, maintain V+ ≤ +30V and V− ≥ −30V with proper decoupling, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the MAX328CPE datasheet.
Does MAX328CPE support single-supply operation?
Yes, MAX328CPE supports single-supply operation from 10V to 30V. In this mode, V− is tied to ground (GND), V+ connects to the positive rail, and analog signals swing from 0V to V+. The device maintains rail-to-rail signal handling and retains its 1pA leakage and 2.5kΩ RDS(ON) specifications, as verified in the Electrical Characteristics tables under single-supply test conditions.
How does MAX328CPE achieve fault tolerance?
MAX328CPE achieves fault tolerance when used with external 40kΩ resistors on each input. These resistors limit current during 110V AC faults, allowing the internal protection diodes to clamp without damage. The combination yields <40nV error on nominal signals (1pA × 40kΩ) and indefinite fault survival - a capability explicitly validated in the Typical Operating Circuit and Applications Information sections of the MAX328CPE datasheet.
Is MAX328CPE pin-compatible with DG508?
Yes, MAX328CPE is explicitly documented as a pin-for-pin replacement for DG508 in the General Description and Pin Configurations sections. All 16 pins match functionally: address inputs (A0–A2), enable (EN), analog inputs (S1–S8), output (D), supplies (V+, V−), and GND align identically. No PCB layout change is required when upgrading from DG508 to MAX328CPE.
What is the temperature range for MAX328CPE?
MAX328CPE is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C, as indicated by the "C" grade in its ordering code and confirmed in the Ordering Information table. This commercial temperature range applies to the plastic DIP package (P16+2 outline), and all electrical specifications - including 1pA leakage and 2.5kΩ RDS(ON) - are guaranteed across this full range per the Overtemperature Electrical Characteristics section.
