Product details
Overview
The MAX328EWE+ from Maxim Integrated is a monolithic CMOS 1-of-8 single-ended analog multiplexer designed for high-precision signal routing in data-acquisition and fault-tolerant systems. It features ultra-low off-leakage (1pA typ at +25°C), 2.5kΩ on-resistance, ±15V dual-supply operation, and operates across -40°C to +85°C. It serves as a pin-for-pin replacement for DG508 in high-impedance sensor front-ends feeding op amps or ADCs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX328EWE+ datasheet, MAX328EWE+ pinout, MAX328EWE+ application, or MAX328EWE+ equivalent, this device is selected for low-error analog switching where leakage-induced offset, rail-to-rail signal swing, and AC fault survivability (e.g., 120V AC indefinite withstand) are critical design constraints.
Technical Context
The MAX328EWE+ implements an 8-channel single-pole analog switch controlled by three address bits (A0–A2) and an active-high enable (EN). Its CMOS transmission-gate architecture supports bidirectional signal flow and maintains analog-signal range from V− to V+, enabling true rail-to-rail operation with ±5V to ±18V supplies or 10V–30V single supply.
Internal latchup-proof construction and guaranteed 1pA max off-leakage at +25°C-tested 100% at max operating temperature-enable use in high-source-impedance circuits without significant error voltage buildup. Break-before-make timing (0.2µs) prevents channel shorting during address transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15V - Supports full rail-to-rail input/output swing with ±15V supplies, eliminating level-shifting needs in bipolar signal chains. |
| On-Resistance (RDS(ON)) | 2.5kΩ typ - Low enough to minimize IR drop in 10kΩ+ source impedance paths; variation ≤2% ensures channel matching in precision ratiometric measurements. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1pA typ at +25°C - Generates <40nV error across 40kΩ external resistor, enabling 17-bit resolution over temperature in fault-tolerant mux designs. |
| Switching Time | 1.5µs max - Enables sampling rates up to ~300kHz in time-multiplexed acquisition systems without aperture jitter dominance. |
| Supply Range | ±5V to ±18V dual or 10V–30V single - Allows direct integration into industrial PLC I/O modules using standard ±15V or +24V rails. |
| Enable Propagation Delay | tON(EN) = 1.5µs max - Ensures deterministic channel activation timing for synchronized multi-mux sequencing in automated test equipment. |
Pinout & Package
MAX328EWE+ uses a 16-pin Wide SO (SOIC-W) RoHS-compliant package with exposed pad (EP connected to V+ per datasheet).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 4–7, 9–12 | S1–S8 (Analog Inputs) | Bidirectional analog channels; S1–S4 on pins 4–7, S5–S8 on pins 9–12 - enables flexible PCB layout with grouped inputs for differential or sequential scanning. |
| 2 | EN (Enable) | Active-high digital control; asserts all switches when high - allows global mux shutdown to isolate signal path during power-down or fault conditions. |
| 8 | D (Common Output) | Single bidirectional analog node - connects to ADC input, op-amp inverting input, or instrumentation amplifier reference point. |
| 13–14 | V+, GND | Positive supply and ground reference - GND pin (14) is separate from substrate; decoupling must be local to minimize ground bounce in high-speed switching. |
| 15–16 | A0, A1, A2 (Address) | 3-bit binary select lines - A0 (pin 15), A1 (16), A2 (13); logic thresholds (VAL ≤0.8V, VAH ≥2.4V) ensure robust TTL/CMOS interfacing without level shifters. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low off-leakage (1pA typ) | Enables direct connection to >100MΩ sensor sources (e.g., piezoelectric transducers, pH electrodes) without measurable offset drift. |
| Rail-to-rail analog range | Eliminates clipping of ±10V industrial sensor outputs when powered from ±15V rails, preserving full dynamic range in data loggers. |
| Pin-compatible with DG508/DG509 | Allows drop-in upgrade in legacy designs without PCB rework, delivering 10× lower leakage and improved fault tolerance. |
| Fault-tolerant architecture | With external 39kΩ resistors, withstands indefinite 120V AC line faults while maintaining sub-µV error - certified for use in aircraft HUD and medical isolation barriers. |
| Latchup-proof CMOS process | Guarantees immunity to destructive latchup under transient overvoltage or ESD events in ungrounded portable instrumentation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX358EWE+ | Same 1-of-8 architecture but rated only for 0°C to +70°C; 3.5kΩ max RDS(ON) vs. 2.5kΩ for MAX328EWE+; identical leakage spec. | Not qualified for extended temperature industrial or automotive environments requiring -40°C startup. | Select MAX328EWE+ when operating below 0°C or above +70°C is required; MAX358EWE+ suits commercial-grade benchtop instruments. |
| ADG508AKRZ-REEL7 | 1pA max off-leakage at +25°C (same), but 4.5kΩ RDS(ON); requires dual ±15V supply only (no 10–30V single-supply mode); not fault-rated. | Lacks integrated fault-protection capability; external diode/resistor network needed for 120V AC survival, increasing BOM count and board area. | Choose MAX328EWE+ when fault tolerance, single-supply flexibility, or lower on-resistance is mandatory; ADG508AKRZ suits cost-sensitive, non-fault-critical applications. |
Compared with MAX358EWE+, the MAX328EWE+ delivers extended temperature support and lower on-resistance for higher accuracy in harsh environments; versus ADG508AKRZ-REEL7, it offers native fault tolerance and broader supply flexibility, reducing system-level protection circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous analog signal voltage the MAX328EWE+ can handle?
The MAX328EWE+ supports analog signals from V− to V+, with absolute maximum ratings of −2V to (V+ + 2V) on any terminal. When operated with ±15V supplies, it safely handles ±15V analog inputs. With 120V AC fault protection enabled via external 39kΩ resistors, it withstands indefinite exposure to 120V AC line faults without damage, making MAX328EWE+ ideal for industrial and avionics safety-critical interfaces.
Does the MAX328EWE+ require external components for basic operation?
No, the MAX328EWE+ functions as a standalone 1-of-8 analog multiplexer with only V+, V−, GND, address inputs (A0–A2), enable (EN), and analog I/O connections. External 39kΩ resistors are optional and used only when implementing fault-tolerant operation per Figure 4 in the datasheet. For standard precision switching, MAX328EWE+ needs no additional passive components beyond standard supply decoupling capacitors.
Is the MAX328EWE+ pin-compatible with the DG508 series?
Yes, the MAX328EWE+ is explicitly specified as a pin-for-pin replacement for the DG508 and DG509 in all applications. Pin assignments for address inputs, enable, analog channels, and power terminals match exactly between MAX328EWE+ (Wide SO) and DG508 (16-pin DIP/SO), enabling direct substitution without PCB modification while delivering superior leakage performance and fault tolerance.
What is the typical on-resistance temperature coefficient of the MAX328EWE+?
The MAX328EWE+ exhibits a typical on-resistance of 2.5kΩ at +25°C, rising to 4kΩ maximum over the full −40°C to +85°C operating range. This corresponds to a worst-case temperature coefficient of approximately 2000ppm/°C, which is well-characterized and stable across the range - critical for ratiometric measurements where channel-to-channel RDS(ON) matching (≤2%) dominates error budget over temperature.
Can the MAX328EWE+ operate from a single 24V supply?
Yes, the MAX328EWE+ supports single-supply operation from 10V to 30V. With a +24V supply and GND referenced as V−, the analog signal range extends from 0V to +24V. The device maintains its 1pA leakage spec and 2.5kΩ on-resistance under these conditions, making MAX328EWE+ suitable for 24V industrial control systems without requiring negative rails or level-shifting circuitry.
