Product details
Overview
The MAX328CWE+T 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 on-resistance, and ±5V to ±18V dual-supply operation - designed for high-precision data acquisition systems requiring fault-tolerant signal routing into high-input-impedance op amps or ADCs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX328CWE+T datasheet, MAX328CWE+T pinout, MAX328CWE+T application, or MAX328CWE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include leakage-critical channel switching, rail-to-rail analog signal range, break-before-make timing (0.2µs), and compatibility with DG508/MAX358 in legacy industrial control and aircraft HUD designs.
Technical Context
The MAX328CWE+T implements a CMOS transmission-gate architecture with latchup-proof construction and TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs (VAL ≤0.8V, VAH ≥2.4V). Its address decoding logic (A0–A2) selects one of eight bidirectional analog channels (S1–S8) to connect to the common D terminal under EN control.
It supports unbalanced supply configurations (e.g., +12V/–5V), maintains analog signal range across rails (±15V), and achieves sub-1.5µs transition time with 0.7µs enable turn-off delay - enabling use in sequential 120V AC fault-tolerant mux circuits using external 39kΩ resistors without external diodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15V - supports rail-to-rail input/output swing with ±15V supplies, enabling direct interface to sensors and precision amplifiers. |
| Drain-Source On-Resistance | 2.5kΩ typ - ensures minimal voltage drop and gain error when routing µA-level signals into high-Z loads. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1pA typ at +25°C - critical for maintaining <40nV error in 40kΩ fault-protection networks and preserving 17-bit resolution over temperature. |
| Switching Time | 1.5µs max - enables fast channel sequencing in real-time data logging and control loop sampling. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±5V to ±18V - allows flexible system integration with existing ±12V, ±15V, or asymmetric supplies like +12V/–5V. |
| Enable Turn-Off Time | 1.0µs max - guarantees clean channel isolation during state transitions in synchronous acquisition systems. |
| Off-Isolation | 84dB at 500kHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive channels in multi-sensor monitoring applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX328CWE+T is supplied in a 16-pin Wide SO (SOIC-W) RoHS-compliant package with exposed pad (EP), footprint compatible with industry-standard 16-pin wide-body SOIC land pattern 90-0107.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3 | V− | Negative supply rail connection - must be decoupled to GND; sets lower bound of analog signal range. |
| 2, 4–7 | S1–S4 | Bidirectional analog inputs - routed to D when selected; support high-source-impedance sensor interfaces. |
| 8 | D | Common analog I/O terminal - connects to op amp input or ADC sample-hold node; bidirectional signal path. |
| 9–12 | S8–S5 | Bidirectional analog inputs - continuation of S1–S4 set; full 8-channel single-ended topology. |
| 13 | A2 | MSB address input - controls channel selection with A1/A0 per truth table; TTL/CMOS logic compatible. |
| 14 | A1 | Address input - used with A0/A2 to decode 1-of-8 channel; low input current (<1µA) minimizes loading. |
| 15 | A0 | LSB address input - completes 3-bit binary address; valid logic levels defined as VAL ≤0.8V / VAH ≥2.4V. |
| 16 | EN | Enable control - high-active; disables all switches when low, providing power-down isolation and system-level gating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low off-leakage | 1pA typ at +25°C - enables indefinite 120V AC fault tolerance with 39kΩ series resistors and <0.39µV signal error. |
| Bidirectional operation | Supports mux or demux mode - allows reuse in both sensor-to-ADC and DAC-to-actuator signal paths without redesign. |
| Rail-to-rail analog range | Operates with signals extending to V+ and V− rails - eliminates level-shifting needs in ±15V systems. |
| Break-before-make timing | 0.2µs interval - prevents momentary shorting between channels during address changes, critical for safety-critical routing. |
| Pin compatibility | Direct replacement for DG508 and MAX358 - enables drop-in upgrade in legacy designs without PCB revision. |
Applications
| Industrial Data Logging | Aircraft Heads-Up Display (HUD) |

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 on-leakage (100pA typ), 100Ω higher RDS(ON), no fault-tolerance design | Lacks integrated fault protection; requires external diodes and resistors for 120V AC rating | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs leakage-critical performance and fault robustness. |
| MAX358CWE+ | Same pinout and leakage specs, but rated only for 0°C to +70°C commercial temp range (no extended temp option) | Not qualified for industrial or automotive environments requiring –40°C to +85°C operation | Choose for cost-optimized commercial-grade systems where extended temperature is unnecessary. |
Compared with DG508ACJ+, the MAX328CWE+T delivers 100× lower leakage and integrated fault tolerance; versus MAX358CWE+, it shares identical electrical behavior but offers broader temperature qualification - making it optimal for high-reliability industrial and aerospace deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX328CWE+T?
The MAX328CWE+T supports an analog signal range of ±15V when operated with ±15V supplies, and maintains rail-to-rail operation - meaning signals can extend from V− to V+ without clipping. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Analog Signal Range" (VANALOG = –15V to +15V) and applies directly to the MAX328CWE+T across its 0°C to +70°C operating temperature range.
Does the MAX328CWE+T require external protection components to withstand 120V AC faults?
No, the MAX328CWE+T does not require external diodes for 120V AC fault protection. Its internal diode structure limits input voltage to ±15.7V with ±15V supplies. When paired with external 39kΩ 1/2W resistors (as shown in Figure 4 of the datasheet), the MAX328CWE+T indefinitely withstands 120V AC faults - a capability verified in the Applications Information section and confirmed for the MAX328CWE+T package variant.
Is the MAX328CWE+T pin-compatible with the DG508 series?
Yes, the MAX328CWE+T is explicitly specified as a pin-for-pin replacement for the DG508/DG509 in the General Description and Features sections. Pin mapping (A0–A2, EN, S1–S8, D, V+, V−, GND) matches exactly between MAX328CWE+T and DG508ACJ+, enabling drop-in upgrades without layout changes - a claim validated across all MAX328C-grade temperature variants including MAX328CWE+T.
What is the typical on-resistance of the MAX328CWE+T and how does it affect signal accuracy?
The MAX328CWE+T has a typical drain-source on-resistance (RDS(ON)) of 2.5kΩ at ±15V supplies and +25°C. This value directly impacts signal accuracy by introducing a voltage drop proportional to channel current; for example, with 1µA sensor current, the drop is just 2.5mV - ensuring minimal gain error in high-impedance data acquisition paths where the MAX328CWE+T is commonly deployed.
Can the MAX328CWE+T operate from a single supply, and what is the minimum required voltage?
Yes, the MAX328CWE+T supports single-supply operation from 10V to 30V, as stated in the General Description. The minimum single-supply voltage is 10V - below which guaranteed performance (including on-resistance, leakage, and switching speed) is not assured. This capability enables use in battery-powered portable instrumentation where dual supplies are impractical, and applies identically to the MAX328CWE+T variant.
