Product details
Overview
MAX333ACAP+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision quad SPDT CMOS analog switch with ±4.5V to ±20V bipolar or +10V to +30V single-supply operation, <35Ω on-resistance (max), <2Ω channel-to-channel match, and <10pC charge injection. It serves as a rail-to-rail signal path selector in portable test equipment and communications interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MAX333ACAP+T datasheet, MAX333ACAP+T pinout, MAX333ACAP+T application, or MAX333ACAP+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance flatness (∆3Ω max), break-before-make timing (10ns typ), and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs operating independently of supply voltage.
Technical Context
The MAX333ACAP+T implements four independent SPDT switches using silicon-gate CMOS process technology, enabling simultaneous control of analog signal routing without crosstalk degradation. Its level-translator circuitry ensures logic compatibility across supply ranges, while internal charge-balanced switching minimizes transients during state transitions.
It supports dual-supply operation with full rail-to-rail analog signal handling (V– to V+), and guarantees matched on-resistance between channels only under bipolar conditions. Break-before-make architecture prevents momentary shorting during switching, critical for multiplexer-based signal integrity in measurement systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On Resistance | <35Ω max - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision instrumentation paths |
| On Resistance Match | <2Ω between channels - enables accurate differential or ratiometric measurements across switched paths |
| Charge Injection | <10pC - reduces settling error and glitch energy in sample-and-hold or ADC front-end circuits |
| Turn-On/Off Time | <175ns / <145ns - supports high-speed multiplexing up to ~3MHz without significant duty-cycle distortion |
| Analog Signal Range | V– to V+ - allows direct interfacing with bipolar op-amp stages or unipolar sensor outputs without level shifting |
| Logic Input Range | +0.8V to +2.4V - guarantees reliable switching regardless of supply voltage, simplifying controller interface design |
| ESD Rating | >2000V HBM - enhances robustness in handheld or field-deployable test equipment |
Pinout & Package
MAX333ACAP+T is housed in a 20-pin plastic DIP package (0°C to +70°C operating range), with through-hole mounting and standard 0.300" wide body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 10, 11, 20 | Logic Inputs (IN1–IN4) | Accept TTL/CMOS levels; control respective SPDT switch states independently |
| 2, 9, 12, 19 | Normally Open Terminals (NO1–NO4) | Connect to selected signal path when corresponding INx = high; open-circuit when low |
| 3, 8, 13, 18 | Common Poles (COM1–COM4) | Signal input/output nodes; routed to NOx or NCx based on logic state |
| 4, 7, 14, 17 | Normally Closed Terminals (NC1–NC4) | Connected to COMx when INx = low; disconnected when INx = high |
| 5 | Negative Supply (V–) | Bipolar negative rail; must be connected even in single-supply mode (tied to GND) |
| 6 | Ground (GND) | Reference for logic inputs and substrate bias; not signal ground unless V– = GND |
| 15 | Not Internally Connected (N.C.) | No internal connection; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| 16 | Positive Supply (V+) | Primary power rail; supports +10V to +30V unipolar or ±4.5V to ±20V bipolar operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG408BRZ | 8-channel single-pole, 20Ω max RON, but only 3.3V/5V single-supply operation; no bipolar support | Limited to low-voltage digital systems; unsuitable for ±15V test gear or analog telephony | Select when system uses only 3.3V/5V supplies and requires higher channel count over precision matching |
| TS5A3157DCKR | Single SPDT, 0.75Ω typical RON, but only +1.65V to +5.5V operation and no ESD rating >1kV | Targeted at mobile I/O switching-not rated for industrial signal routing or high-voltage isolation | Choose for ultra-low RON in compact 5V-only consumer devices where bipolar operation and ESD robustness are unnecessary |
Compared with ADG408BRZ and TS5A3157DCKR, the MAX333ACAP+T uniquely supports bipolar supplies up to ±20V, guarantees channel-matched on-resistance, and delivers >2000V ESD protection-making it the only option qualified for ruggedized test and telecom infrastructure use cases.

FAQ
What supply configurations does the MAX333ACAP+T support?
The MAX333ACAP+T supports both bipolar supplies (±4.5V to ±20V) and single-ended supplies (+10V to +30V). In single-supply mode, V– must be tied to ground. The device maintains rail-to-rail analog signal handling and guaranteed on-resistance specs only under bipolar operation per datasheet Note 4. Logic inputs remain compatible across all configurations due to fixed +0.8V/+2.4V thresholds.
Does the MAX333ACAP+T require external components for basic operation?
No external components are required for basic switching operation of the MAX333ACAP+T. Decoupling capacitors (0.1µF ceramic near V+ and V– pins) are recommended for noise suppression. The N.C. pin (Pin 15) must remain unconnected. Overvoltage protection diodes are optional and only needed if supply sequencing cannot be controlled-adding them reduces analog signal range by ~1V but preserves RON and leakage specs.
How does the MAX333ACAP+T handle signal integrity during switching?
The MAX333ACAP+T ensures signal integrity via break-before-make timing (10ns typical), minimizing transient shorts, and ultra-low charge injection (<10pC), reducing voltage glitches at COM terminals. Its guaranteed on-resistance flatness (∆3Ω max) maintains consistent gain across the full analog input range, while low off-capacitance (5pF) and high off-isolation (72dB) suppress crosstalk in dense multiplexer layouts.
Is the MAX333ACAP+T pin-compatible with older DG-series analog switches?
The MAX333ACAP+T is specified as an upgraded replacement for a DG211/DG212 pair or two DG403s, but it is not pin-compatible with any single DG-series part. Its 20-pin DIP layout differs from the 16-pin packages of DG211/DG212 and the 16-pin SOIC of DG403. Board redesign is required; however, its functional equivalence and superior specs (e.g., lower RON, better matching, higher ESD) justify the layout update in new designs.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the MAX333ACAP+T?
The MAX333ACAP+T is rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient operating temperature, as indicated by the 'C' suffix in the part number. This commercial-grade temperature range is validated per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics sections of the official datasheet. For extended temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C), the MAX333AEPP variant should be used instead.
