Product details
Overview
The MAX328EWE 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. It features TTL/CMOS-compatible address inputs (A0–A2), enable control (EN), bidirectional signal routing, and fault-tolerant capability when used with external 40kΩ input resistors-enabling indefinite 110V AC fault survival in data-acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX328EWE datasheet, MAX328EWE pinout, MAX328EWE application, or MAX328EWE equivalent, this device is selected for high-precision, low-error analog signal switching in systems requiring sub-40nV error budget, rail-to-rail analog swing, and latchup-proof operation across industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The MAX328EWE implements an 8-channel single-pole analog switch matrix controlled by three binary address lines (A0–A2) and an active-high enable (EN). Its CMOS transmission-gate architecture supports bidirectional signal flow and maintains analog-signal integrity across the full supply rail range (±15V typical), with break-before-make timing of 0.2µs ensuring channel isolation during switching.
Designed for high-impedance source interfacing, it delivers guaranteed 1pA max off-leakage at +25°C and <10nA over full -40°C to +85°C range, enabling direct connection to op-amp or ADC inputs without guard-ring buffering. Its 1.5µs max transition time and 84dB off-isolation at 500kHz support precision multiplexing in 16-bit+ data acquisition systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15V - Supports rail-to-rail input/output swing with ±15V supplies, enabling full dynamic range utilization in bipolar sensor interfaces. |
| Drain-Source On-Resistance | 2.5kΩ typ - Low RDS(ON) minimizes gain error and thermal noise in precision gain-setting or signal-path selection circuits. |
| Off-Leakage Current | 1pA typ at +25°C - Enables ≤0.4µV error with 40kΩ series resistor, critical for 17-bit resolution over temperature in data loggers. |
| Switching Time | 1.5µs max - Sufficient for multiplexing up to ~300kSPS in multi-channel ADC systems without inter-channel crosstalk degradation. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±5V to ±18V - Allows flexible power architecture: dual ±15V for high-voltage sensors or unbalanced +12V/−5V for mixed-signal subsystems. |
| Off-Isolation | 84dB at 500kHz - Ensures >10,000:1 attenuation between inactive channels, preventing signal bleed in RF-adjacent or high-frequency measurement paths. |
| Enable Turn-On/Off Time | 1.5µs / 1.0µs - Fast EN control enables synchronized channel gating in time-critical sampling sequences or safety-shutdown logic. |
Pinout & Package
MAX328EWE is supplied in a 16-pin Wide SO (SOIC-W) package with exposed pad (RoHS-compliant, lead-free). Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official pin description table and top-view schematic.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3 | V− | Negative supply rail input; must be connected to system −VSS; internal bias reference for all NMOS switches. |
| 2, 4–7 | S1–S4 | Bidirectional analog input terminals; routed to output D when selected; low-capacitance (1.8pF off) preserves bandwidth. |
| 8 | D | Common analog output/bidirectional node; connects to one of eight inputs based on A0–A2 and EN state. |
| 9–12 | S8–S5 | Bidirectional analog input terminals; mirror S1–S4 in physical layout; identical electrical specs and routing behavior. |
| 13 | A2 | MSB address input; TTL/CMOS compatible; controls bit-2 selection for 1-of-8 decoding (A2A1A0 = 000–111). |
| 14 | A1 | Mid-bit address input; latched internally; determines channel group (e.g., A1=0 selects S1–S4, A1=1 selects S5–S8). |
| 15 | A0 | LSB address input; sampled on EN assertion; resolves final channel within group (e.g., A0=0/A1=0 → S1). |
| 16 | EN | Active-high enable; disables all switches (high-Z) when low; eliminates power-on glitch and enables channel blanking. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low off-leakage | 1pA typ at +25°C ensures ≤0.4µV offset error with 40kΩ fault-protection resistors-critical for 17-bit resolution over temperature. |
| Bidirectional signal routing | Supports mux or demux configuration without external reconfiguration; preserves signal integrity in both directions due to symmetric RDS(ON). |
| Rail-to-rail analog swing | Operates with analog signals extending to V+ and V− rails, eliminating clipping in ±10V sensor interfaces or DAC output routing. |
| Pin compatibility with DG508/DG509 | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy designs-no PCB change required-while improving leakage by >100× and adding fault tolerance. |
| Latchup-proof construction | Immune to destructive latchup under overvoltage or ESD stress, enabling robust operation in industrial control environments with noisy power rails. |

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 typ for MAX328EWE; no guaranteed 1pA leakage spec. | Targeted at commercial-grade instrumentation; lacks extended temperature validation and fault-tolerance documentation. | Select MAX358EWE+ only if operating ambient stays within 0°C–70°C and 17-bit resolution is not required over full temp range. |
| ADG508AKRZ-REEL7 | 1-of-8 CMOS mux with 450Ω RDS(ON), 100pA leakage at +25°C, and −40°C to +85°C rating; requires external protection for >60V faults. | Optimized for low-RDS(ON) in audio or low-voltage signal chains; lacks integrated fault-tolerance design and rail-to-rail analog swing. | Choose ADG508AKRZ-REEL7 when on-resistance dominates error budget and fault exposure is mitigated externally; avoid for 110V AC fault scenarios. |
Compared with MAX358EWE+ and ADG508AKRZ-REEL7, the MAX328EWE uniquely combines guaranteed 1pA leakage, ±18V supply support, and documented 110V AC fault survivability-making it the only option qualified for high-accuracy, high-reliability industrial data acquisition where leakage-induced offset and fault resilience are co-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the MAX328EWE?
The MAX328EWE supports continuous operation from ±5V to ±18V dual supplies, with absolute maximum ratings of +44V on V+ and +25V on GND referenced to V−. Exceeding ±18V violates the continuous operation specification and risks parametric shift or damage, even if within absolute max limits. The MAX328EWE is commonly operated at ±15V for optimal RDS(ON) and leakage performance.
Does the MAX328EWE require external protection diodes for fault tolerance?
No-the MAX328EWE does not require external protection diodes for 110V AC fault survival. Its internal structure and guaranteed 1pA leakage allow use with only external 40kΩ resistors (1/2W) to achieve indefinite fault withstand, as documented in Maxim's Figure 4 application circuit. Adding diodes degrades signal fidelity and is unnecessary per the official fault-tolerance implementation.
Is the MAX328EWE pin-compatible with the DG508 series?
Yes-the MAX328EWE is explicitly specified as a pin-for-pin replacement for the DG508/DG509 in all standard 16-pin DIP and SO packages. Pin mapping, signal names (A0–A2, EN, S1–S8, D), and power connections (V+, V−, GND) match identically, enabling direct drop-in substitution without PCB modification or layout changes.
What is the guaranteed off-leakage current for MAX328EWE over its full temperature range?
The MAX328EWE guarantees off-leakage current of ≤10nA over its full −40°C to +85°C operating range, with 1pA typical at +25°C. This is 100% tested at maximum rated temperature (+85°C) and correlated at room temperature. The value reflects worst-case channel (S1–S8 to D) leakage under VS = ±10V, VD = ∓10V, and EN = 0V conditions.
Can the MAX328EWE operate with unbalanced supply voltages such as +12V and −5V?
Yes-the MAX328EWE is fully characterized for unbalanced supply operation, including combinations like +12V/−5V or +5V/−15V. Its CMOS process and internal level-shifting ensure correct logic decoding, stable RDS(ON), and maintained leakage performance across all valid supply asymmetries within the ±5V to ±18V envelope.
