Product details
Overview
MAX349CAP+T from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel, serially controlled, bidirectional analog multiplexer with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE interface, 100Ω max on-resistance (±5V supplies), rail-to-rail signal handling, and ±2.7V to ±8V dual-supply or +2.7V to +16V single-supply operation - used in precision data-acquisition front-ends requiring low leakage and matched switch characteristics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX349CAP+T datasheet, MAX349CAP+T pinout, MAX349CAP+T application, or MAX349CAP+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, daisy-chain timing behavior, COM/NO terminal roles, off-leakage at temperature, and real-world routing use cases in ATE and industrial control systems.
Technical Context
The MAX349CAP+T implements an 8-bit shift register driving eight independent SPST analog switches; configuration updates occur on the rising edge of CS, independent of SCLK state, ensuring full SPI/QSPI compliance with CPOL = 0. All switches are bidirectional and interchangeable between input/output roles.
It supports daisy-chaining via DOUT-to-DIN cascading across multiple devices under shared CS control, enabling synchronized switching of up to N × 8 channels with a single serial stream. Power supply flexibility includes dual ±2.7V–±8V or single +2.7V–+16V operation with rail-to-rail analog signal range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (RON) | 100Ω max at ±5V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision measurement paths. |
| On-resistance match (∆RON) | 16Ω max between channels - critical for multi-channel differential or ratiometric measurements where channel-to-channel consistency matters. |
| Off-leakage current (INO(OFF)) | 0.1nA at +25°C - enables high-impedance sensor interfacing (e.g., thermocouples, pH electrodes) without measurable bias error. |
| Turn-on time (tON) | 400ns max - supports fast-switching applications like automated test equipment (ATE) channel scanning at >1MHz effective rate. |
| Supply range | ±2.7V to ±8V dual or +2.7V to +16V single - allows direct integration into mixed-voltage industrial systems without level-shifting. |
| ESD protection | >2kV per Method 3015.7 - provides robustness during board handling and system-level ESD events in factory environments. |
| Digital logic thresholds | 0.8V / 2.4V - guarantees TTL and CMOS compatibility with +5V or ±5V digital controllers without external translators. |
Pinout & Package
MAX349CAP+T is packaged in a 20-pin SSOP (shrink small-outline package) with exposed pad, rated for 0°C to +70°C operation. Pin 14 is N.C. (not internally connected); all NOx and COM pins are fully bidirectional analog terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3, 5–9, 11–14, 16–20 | Digital I/O and power | SCLK, DIN, DOUT, CS, RESET, V+, V−, GND, and N.C. - define serial control interface and supply domains. |
| 5 (COM) | Analog common node | Single output terminal for 8:1 mux function; bidirectional, rail-to-rail capable, referenced only to V+ and V−. |
| 6–9, 11–14 (NO0–NO7) | Analog switch inputs | Eight normally open analog terminals; each connects to COM when its corresponding bit is high in the shift register. |
| 4 (GND) | Digital reference | Digital ground only - analog signals have no GND reference and swing between V− and V+. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible interface | 3-wire synchronous serial protocol with daisy-chain support - reduces MCU GPIO count and simplifies firmware for multi-mux systems. |
| Rail-to-Rail® signal handling | Analog signals swing from V− to V+ without clipping - preserves full dynamic range in ±5V or +12V sensor interfaces. |
| Asynchronous RESET input | Drives all switches OFF and clears shift register to zero - enables deterministic power-up and fault recovery without host intervention. |
| Matched on-resistance flatness | 10Ω max variation over signal range - minimizes THD and intermodulation distortion in audio and RF sampling paths. |
| Break-before-make switching | 2ns typical delay - prevents momentary shorting between channels during reconfiguration, essential for safe hot-swap routing. |
Applications
| Industrial Data Acquisition | Automated Test Equipment (ATE) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG708BRUZ | 8-channel CMOS mux, 3.5Ω RON (at +5V), but only +1.8V to +5.5V single-supply operation; no dual-supply or rail-to-rail capability. | Restricted to low-voltage, unipolar signal chains; unsuitable for ±10V industrial sensors or bipolar ATE stimuli. | Select ADG708BRUZ only when supply headroom is constrained and bipolar analog ranges are not required. |
| TMUX6208RTER | 8-channel mux with 3.1Ω RON, ±16.5V supply support, and 1pA leakage at +25°C - but requires I²C interface and lacks native SPI daisy-chain capability. | Requires additional level-shifting and firmware overhead for I²C-to-SPI bridge; no hardware reset pin. | Choose TMUX6208RTER if ultra-low leakage and extended voltage range outweigh serial interface simplicity. |
Compared with ADG708BRUZ and TMUX6208RTER, the MAX349CAP+T uniquely combines SPI daisy-chaining, true dual-supply rail-to-rail operation, and sub-nA leakage - making it the only option for scalable, high-precision, mixed-polarity multiplexing in space-constrained industrial and avionics designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the MAX349CAP+T?
The MAX349CAP+T is specified for 0°C to +70°C operation, as indicated by the 'C' grade suffix in its ordering code. It is not rated for extended temperature ranges like the MAX349EAP+T (−40°C to +85°C) or MAX349MAP+T (−55°C to +125°C). For designs requiring wider thermal margins, the MAX349CAP+T must be derated or replaced with a higher-grade variant.
Does the MAX349CAP+T support daisy-chaining with other MAX349 or MAX350 devices?
Yes, the MAX349CAP+T supports hardware daisy-chaining via its DOUT pin, which outputs the shifted-in data after eight clock cycles. When multiple MAX349CAP+T or MAX350 devices share a common CS line and are connected DIN→DOUT→DIN, a single 8×N-bit serial stream configures all N devices simultaneously upon CS rising edge - enabling scalable channel expansion without additional GPIOs.
Can the MAX349CAP+T operate from a single +3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX349CAP+T supports single-supply operation from +2.7V to +16V. At +3.3V, typical on-resistance rises to ~500Ω (vs. 100Ω at ±5V), and analog signal range is limited to 0V to +3.3V. Logic thresholds remain compatible (0.8V/2.4V), but designers must verify signal integrity and settling time meet system requirements at reduced supply headroom.
What is the purpose of the RESET pin on the MAX349CAP+T?
The RESET pin on the MAX349CAP+T is an asynchronous active-low input that forces all eight analog switches to the OFF state and clears the internal 8-bit shift register to zero - regardless of CS or SCLK state. This provides deterministic initialization after power-up or fault recovery, eliminating reliance on precise SPI timing sequences to guarantee known switch states.
Is the MAX349CAP+T pin-compatible with other packages in the MAX349 family, such as MAX349CPN or MAX349CWN?
No, the MAX349CAP+T uses a 20-pin SSOP package, while MAX349CPN is an 18-pin plastic DIP and MAX349CWN is an 18-pin wide SO. Pin counts, layouts, and thermal pads differ - there is no mechanical or electrical pin compatibility between these variants. PCB layout must be specific to the 20-pin SSOP footprint of the MAX349CAP+T.
