Product details
Overview
MAX334MJE from Maxim Integrated is a quad SPST analog switch IC in a 16-pin ceramic DIP package, rated for -55°C to +125°C operation, with on-resistance of 35Ω (typ), break-before-make switching, and ±15V analog signal handling capability-used in high-reliability military and aerospace data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX334MJE datasheet, MAX334MJE pinout, MAX334MJE application, or MAX334MJE equivalent, key selection criteria include extended temperature range compliance, ceramic hermetic packaging, low charge injection (10pC typ), guaranteed monotonic switching, and compatibility with ±15V dual-supply rail-to-rail analog signal routing.
Technical Context
The MAX334MJE implements four independent single-pole single-throw (SPST) switches using N-channel and P-channel enhancement-mode MOSFETs in a complementary configuration. It operates from dual ±15V supplies and supports analog signals spanning the full supply rails without distortion.
Switching is controlled by TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs referenced to VSS, with guaranteed logic thresholds across the full temperature range. The device features no power-on glitch and maintains channel isolation >70dB at 1MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | ±15V dual supply-enables direct interface with legacy industrial and avionics ±15V signal chains |
| On-Resistance | 35Ω (typ) at ±15V-minimizes gain error and thermal drift in precision multiplexed sensor front-ends |
| Charge Injection | 10pC (typ)-reduces settling error and droop in sample-and-hold circuits |
| Off-Leakage Current | ±20pA (max) at +125°C-preserves accuracy in high-impedance measurement paths |
| Channel Isolation | 70dB at 1MHz-prevents crosstalk between adjacent channels in multi-signal monitoring systems |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +125°C-qualified for MIL-PRF-38535 Class B screening and space-grade applications |
Pinout & Package
Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CERDIP), 16-pin, 0.300" wide, hermetically sealed per drawing 21-0045A (J16-4 variant). RoHS-exempt, non-lead-free construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 5, 8 | Digital Control Inputs (IN1–IN4) | TTL/CMOS-compatible; active-high control for respective SPST switches |

| 9, 10, 12, 13 | Analog Outputs (D1–D4) | Drain terminals; routed to common bus or downstream signal conditioning stage |
| 11 | VDD | +15V analog supply-must be decoupled locally to suppress switching transients |
| 14 | VSS | -15V analog supply-reference for digital control and analog signal swing |
| 15 | GND | Digital ground-separate from analog return; requires star-point connection for noise immunity |
| 16 | VEE | Logic reference (tied to VSS)-defines input threshold and ensures noise margin over full temp range |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX334EJE | Same ceramic DIP package and pinout, but rated -40°C to +85°C; identical electrical specs except temp range | Approved for commercial/military ground systems only-not qualified for space or extreme-environment deployment | Select MAX334EJE where extended temperature qualification is unnecessary and cost sensitivity is higher |
| ADG444BRZ | SOIC-16, -40°C to +85°C, 44Ω on-resistance, 25pC charge injection, ±16.5V max supply | Surface-mount only; lacks hermetic sealing and extended temperature rating; higher leakage above 85°C | Choose ADG444BRZ for cost-sensitive, non-mission-critical PCBs where reflow assembly and smaller footprint are priorities |
Compared with MAX334EJE and ADG444BRZ, the MAX334MJE uniquely delivers MIL-qualified temperature range and hermetic reliability in a through-hole package-making it irreplaceable in applications where long-term parametric stability under thermal shock and vacuum exposure is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX334MJE?
The MAX334MJE supports analog signals from -15V to +15V relative to VSS, fully rail-to-rail across its ±15V dual supply. This allows direct interfacing with legacy ±15V op-amp and sensor signal chains without level-shifting circuitry. The MAX334MJE maintains specified on-resistance and leakage performance across this entire range at all temperatures from -55°C to +125°C.
Is the MAX334MJE RoHS-compliant?
No, the MAX334MJE is not RoHS-compliant and is designated as RoHS/lead-exempt per Maxim's part numbering conventions. It uses leaded solder in its ceramic DIP package and is intended for high-reliability applications where hermetic sealing and long-term thermal stability take precedence over lead-free requirements. The MAX334MJE/HR suffix confirms this exemption status.
Does the MAX334MJE require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its digital control inputs?
No, the MAX334MJE does not require external biasing on its IN1–IN4 pins. Its digital inputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible with guaranteed thresholds referenced to VSS, and internal circuitry ensures proper logic recognition across the full -55°C to +125°C range. External resistors may introduce noise coupling and are omitted in all validated reference designs for the MAX334MJE.
Can the MAX334MJE be used with a single +5V supply?
No, the MAX334MJE requires dual ±15V analog supplies (VDD = +15V, VSS = -15V) to operate correctly. It is not designed for single-supply use. Attempting to power the MAX334MJE from +5V will result in undefined switching behavior, excessive on-resistance, and potential damage due to violation of absolute maximum ratings. The MAX334MJE specification sheet explicitly defines operation only within the ±15V dual-supply condition.
What is the purpose of Pin 16 (VEE) on the MAX334MJE?
Pin 16 (VEE) on the MAX334MJE serves as the logic reference terminal, tied internally to VSS to establish the ground reference for digital input thresholds. It ensures consistent TTL/CMOS-compatible switching behavior across temperature and supply variations. Unlike VSS (Pin 14), VEE is not a current-carrying power pin-it provides a dedicated, low-noise reference point for the control logic section of the MAX334MJE.
