Product details
Overview
MAX337EPI+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer designed to route one of eight differential inputs (A or B side) to its respective common output (COMA or COMB) using a 3-bit binary address. It operates from ±4.5V to ±20V dual supplies or +4.5V to +30V single supply, features ≤400Ω on-resistance, <20pA NO-off leakage at +25°C, and 3.5pC typical charge injection-enabling precision signal routing in test equipment and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX337EPI+ datasheet, MAX337EPI+ pinout, MAX337EPI+ application, or MAX337EPI+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed low leakage across -40°C to +85°C, rail-to-rail bidirectional signal handling, TTL/CMOS-compatible control inputs, ESD protection >2000V, and pin compatibility with industry-standard DG507.
Technical Context
The MAX337EPI+ implements a dual independent 8:1 analog mux architecture with separate A- and B-side channels, each controlled by shared A0–A2 address lines and individual EN enable inputs. Its BiCMOS process enables low on-resistance matching (≤10Ω), fast transition time (≤500ns), and break-before-make switching with ≤50ns interval.
All digital inputs-including EN and address pins-are TTL/CMOS compatible over full temperature range and supply voltage (±4.5V to ±18V), while analog terminals support rail-to-rail operation with clamping diodes for overvoltage protection. Charge injection is tightly controlled at 3.5pC (typ), critical for minimizing settling error in sampling circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±20V dual or +4.5V to +30V single - supports wide industrial and test-equipment voltage rails |
| On-Resistance (max) | 400Ω at TA = +25°C - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision measurement paths |
| NO-Off Leakage (max) | 1.25nA at TA = –40°C to +85°C - preserves high-impedance sensor node integrity during channel disable |
| Charge Injection (typ) | 3.5pC - limits voltage glitch on sampled capacitors, reducing need for long settling times |
| Transition Time (max) | 500ns - enables reliable switching in sub-microsecond data acquisition cycles |
| ESD Protection | >2000V per Method 3015.7 - enhances robustness in benchtop and production test environments |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial ambient conditions without derating |
Pinout & Package
MAX337EPI+ uses a 28-pin plastic DIP package (P28+2 outline), through-hole mountable with 0.3" width and standard 0.1" pin pitch. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official pin description table and functional diagrams.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive supply input | Accepts +4.5V to +30V (single) or up to +20V (dual); must be powered first in sequencing |
| V- | Negative supply input | Accepts –4.5V to –20V (dual); connect to GND for single-supply operation |
| GND | Logic ground reference | Reference for TTL/CMOS inputs; isolated from analog signal path but tied to substrate |
| EN | Enable input (active-high) | Disables all switches when low; TTL/CMOS compatible across full temp/supply range |
| A0–A2 | 3-bit binary address inputs | Selects one of eight channels per side; no A3 pin - distinguishes MAX337 from 16-channel MAX336 |
| COMA / COMB | Differential common outputs | Bidirectional, rail-to-rail analog nodes; electrically isolated between A/B sides |
| NO1A–NO8A / NO1B–NO8B | Analog inputs (A and B sides) | Fully interchangeable as inputs or outputs; identical electrical specs per channel |
| N.C. | No internal connection | Pins 2, 3, 13 - unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail bidirectional signal handling | Supports analog signals from V– to V+, enabling full dynamic range utilization in ±15V or +12V systems |

| Plug-in upgrade for DG507 | Pin- and function-compatible replacement requiring no PCB or firmware changes in legacy DG507 designs |
| Ultra-low off-leakage (<20pA at +25°C) | Preserves signal integrity in high-impedance pH sensors, thermopiles, and piezoelectric transducer interfaces |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | Eliminates level-shifting requirements when interfacing with microcontrollers, FPGAs, or logic sequencers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX337CPI+ | Same pinout and function, but rated for 0°C to +70°C only - lacks extended temperature qualification | Suitable for commercial-grade bench instruments; not rated for industrial ambient extremes | Select MAX337CPI+ only if operating environment stays within 0°C–70°C and cost sensitivity outweighs reliability margin |
| ADG507AKNZ | Pin-compatible 8-channel dual mux; higher on-resistance (450Ω max), higher charge injection (15pC typ), no guaranteed ESD rating | Acceptable for non-critical routing where leakage <1nA and glitch energy are less constrained | Choose ADG507AKNZ only when legacy ADI footprint reuse is mandatory and MAX337EPI+ lead time or cost prohibits use |
Compared with MAX337CPI+, MAX337EPI+ delivers verified operation down to –40°C and guarantees leakage performance across full industrial range; versus ADG507AKNZ, it provides 4× lower charge injection and documented >2000V ESD robustness-critical for automated test and medical signal chains.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage difference for MAX337EPI+?
The absolute maximum voltage difference between V+ and V– for MAX337EPI+ is 44V. This allows operation with asymmetric supplies such as +24V and –5V (29V total), provided each supply remains within its respective ±4.5V to ±20V range. Exceeding 44V risks permanent damage due to internal junction breakdown, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does MAX337EPI+ support single-supply operation, and how is it configured?
Yes, MAX337EPI+ supports single-supply operation from +4.5V to +30V. To configure: connect V– to GND, apply V+ to the positive rail, and ensure all analog signals remain within 0V to V+. The device maintains rail-to-rail signal handling and retains full TTL/CMOS compatibility on address and enable inputs under this configuration.
Is MAX337EPI+ pin-compatible with the DG507, and what does that mean for design migration?
Yes, MAX337EPI+ is explicitly documented as a plug-in upgrade for the DG507. That means identical pinout, same 28-pin DIP footprint, matching logic thresholds, and equivalent analog performance-enabling direct replacement without PCB layout changes, firmware updates, or signal integrity revalidation in existing DG507-based systems.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance matching between channels in MAX337EPI+?
MAX337EPI+ guarantees on-resistance matching (∆RON) of ≤10Ω at +25°C and ≤15Ω across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range. This specification ensures consistent gain and minimal crosstalk-induced errors when routing matched signal paths-critical for ratiometric measurements and multi-channel calibration schemes.
How does the charge injection spec of MAX337EPI+ impact sample-and-hold circuit design?
With 3.5pC typical charge injection, MAX337EPI+ induces ≤3.5mV glitch on a 1nF hold capacitor. This enables sub-12-bit settling within 100ns using standard op-amp buffers-reducing or eliminating need for dedicated zero-drift amplifiers or complex correlated double sampling in precision data loggers and digitizers using MAX337EPI+.
