Product details
Overview
The MAX329CPE+ from Maxim Integrated is a differential 2-of-8 monolithic CMOS analog multiplexer designed for high-precision signal routing in data-acquisition and fault-tolerant systems. It features ultra-low off-leakage (≤1pA at +25°C), 2.5kΩ typical on-resistance, ±5V to ±18V dual-supply operation, bidirectional signal handling, and pin compatibility with DG509 and MAX359 - enabling direct replacement in legacy industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MAX329CPE+ datasheet, MAX329CPE+ pinout, MAX329CPE+ application, or MAX329CPE+ equivalent, this device is selected for low-error analog switching where leakage-induced offset (<40nV with 40kΩ external resistors), rail-to-rail analog range, and 1.5µs switching speed are critical in high-impedance source environments.
Technical Context
The MAX329CPE+ implements a differential 2-channel selection architecture using CMOS transmission gates controlled by A0/A1 address inputs and an active-high EN enable. Its internal latchup-proof construction supports unbalanced supplies (e.g., +12V/–5V) without performance degradation.
It delivers guaranteed 1pA max off-leakage at +25°C and ≤±10nA over –40°C to +85°C, with on-resistance flatness of ≤2% between channels and break-before-make timing of 0.2µs - ensuring minimal crosstalk and signal disruption during channel transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15V with ±15V supplies - supports rail-to-rail input/output swing without clipping. |
| Drain-Source On-Resistance | 2.5kΩ typical - ensures minimal voltage drop and gain error in precision measurement paths. |
| Off-Leakage Current | ≤1pA at +25°C - limits offset error to <40nV when used with 40kΩ series resistors. |
| Switching Time | 1.5µs max - enables sampling rates up to ~667kHz in time-multiplexed acquisition systems. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±5V to ±18V dual or 10V–30V single - accommodates industrial power rails without level-shifting. |
| Off-Isolation | 84dB at 500kHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive and active differential channels. |
| Charge Injection | 4pC max - minimizes settling error in sample-and-hold circuits following switching. |
Pinout & Package
MAX329CPE+ uses a 16-pin plastic DIP package (0.300" wide) with RoHS-compliant lead-free finish. Pin assignments are validated per Maxim's official pin configuration diagram for MAX329 DIP/SO packages.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3 | V− | Negative supply rail connection - must be decoupled locally for noise immunity. |
| 2 | EN | Active-high enable - disables all switches when low, reducing system power and leakage. |
| 4–7 | S1A–S4A | Differential input pair A - bidirectional analog terminals for first 4-channel group. |
| 8, 9 | DA, DB | Differential outputs - routed to op-amp or ADC inputs with matched trace lengths required. |
| 10–13 | S4B–S1B | Differential input pair B - second 4-channel group, independent of S1A–S4A. |
| 14 | GND | Analog ground reference - separate from digital ground in mixed-signal layouts. |
| 15, 16 | A0, A1 | Binary address inputs - select one of four differential pairs (00→S1A/S1B, 11→S4A/S4B). |
| 11, 13 | V+ | Positive supply rail - requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low off-leakage | ≤1pA at +25°C - preserves accuracy in >1GΩ source impedance applications like piezoelectric sensors. |
| Bidirectional operation | Supports mux or demux use - enables shared analog bus architectures without external direction logic. |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | 0.8V/2.4V thresholds - interfaces directly with microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters. |
| Rail-to-rail analog range | Operates with signals extending to V+ and V− - eliminates need for external clamping diodes. |
| Pin-compatible with DG509 | Drop-in replacement for legacy designs - no PCB rework required when upgrading leakage performance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar differential analog multiplexing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX359CPE+ | Same pinout, identical electrical specs, but rated only for 0°C to +70°C commercial temp range - no extended-temp screening. | Not qualified for automotive or extended industrial environments requiring –40°C startup. | Select MAX359CPE+ only for cost-sensitive commercial equipment with ambient temperature control. |
| DG509DJ | Higher 5nA typical off-leakage, 100Ω higher on-resistance, no internal fault-protection diodes - requires external clamping. | Lacks integrated 120V AC fault tolerance; unsuitable for unattended industrial field deployments. | Choose DG509DJ only for legacy board repairs where MAX329CPE+ footprint compatibility is not required. |
Compared with MAX359CPE+, the MAX329CPE+ offers identical functionality with full temp-range validation; compared with DG509DJ, it delivers 50× lower leakage and eliminates external protection components - reducing BOM count and layout area in new designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX329CPE+?
The MAX329CPE+ supports an analog signal range of ±15V when operated with ±15V supplies, and maintains rail-to-rail operation across its full specified supply range of ±5V to ±18V. This allows direct interfacing with industrial sensors and transducers without external level-shifting circuitry, and is explicitly confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Analog Signal Range" for both MAX329C/E variants.
Does the MAX329CPE+ require external protection components to withstand 120V AC faults?
No, the MAX329CPE+ does not require external diodes for 120V AC fault protection due to its internal diode-clamped architecture. When used with ≥39kΩ series resistors (e.g., 1/2W), the MAX329CPE+ indefinitely withstands 120V AC line faults while limiting input voltage to ±15.7V - a key design feature documented in the Applications Information section and Figure 4 of the datasheet.
Is the MAX329CPE+ pin-compatible with the DG509 multiplexer?
Yes, the MAX329CPE+ is explicitly specified as a pin-for-pin replacement for the DG509 in the General Description and Features sections. Its DIP pinout matches DG509 exactly, including identical placement of EN, A0/A1, V+/V−, GND, and differential input/output terminals - enabling drop-in upgrades in existing DG509-based designs without PCB modification.
What is the typical on-resistance matching between channels in the MAX329CPE+?
The MAX329CPE+ guarantees ≤2% variation in drain-source on-resistance between channels, calculated as (RDS(ON)max − RDS(ON)min)/RDS(ON)avg × 100%. This value is measured and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Greatest Change in Drain-Source On-Resistance Between Channels", ensuring consistent gain and linearity across all eight differential paths.
Can the MAX329CPE+ operate with unbalanced dual supplies such as +12V and –5V?
Yes, the MAX329CPE+ is fully characterized to operate with unbalanced dual supplies including +12V/–5V and +5V/–15V, as stated in the General Description. Its CMOS process and internal design maintain specified leakage, on-resistance, and switching performance across all combinations within the ±5V to ±18V total supply range - making it suitable for mixed-rail industrial power domains.
