Product details
Overview
MAX349CPN+ 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 or +2.7V to +16V single supply operation. It serves as a programmable 8:1 analog switch in data-acquisition front-ends where low leakage (0.1nA @ +25°C) and matched channel resistance are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX349CPN+ datasheet, MAX349CPN+ pinout, MAX349CPN+ application, or MAX349CPN+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-bit shift-register control architecture, daisy-chain capability via DOUT, asynchronous RESET, TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds, and guaranteed on-resistance flatness (10Ω max over ±3V signal range).
Technical Context
The MAX349CPN+ implements an 8-bit serial shift register that updates all eight SPST switches synchronously on the rising edge of CS, independent of SCLK state-ensuring full SPI/QSPI compliance with CPOL = 0. Its analog path supports bidirectional rail-to-rail signals across V− to V+, with no ground reference required for analog signals.
Switch control is fully decoupled from digital timing: DIN data is clocked in on SCLK rising edges while CS is low; configuration latching occurs only at CS rising edge. The device features asynchronous RESET that forces all switches OFF and clears the shift register, enabling deterministic power-up behavior and safe reconfiguration.
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 analog paths |
| On-Resistance Match (∆RON) | 16Ω max between channels - enables accurate channel-to-channel signal ratio matching in multi-input systems |
| On-Resistance Flatness (RFLAT) | 10Ω max over ±3V signal range - maintains consistent gain and linearity across full analog input swing |
| NO Off-Leakage Current | 0.1nA max at +25°C - preserves high-impedance sensor node integrity and prevents DC error accumulation |
| Supply Range | ±2.7V to ±8V dual or +2.7V to +16V single - supports wide-range industrial, automotive, and battery-powered designs |
| Logic Thresholds | VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.4V - guarantees interoperability with both TTL and CMOS logic without level-shifting |
| Turn-On Time (tON) | 400ns max - enables fast channel switching in real-time signal routing and ATE applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX349CPN+ is housed in an 18-pin plastic DIP package (0.300" width), with pins arranged in two rows. Pin 1 is CS (chip select), pin 18 is CS (chip select), and pin 14 is N.C. (not internally connected). All analog NO/COM pins are bidirectional and interchangeable.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 18 | CS | Active-low chip-select input; rising edge latches 8-bit shift register and updates all switch states |
| 2 | V+ | Positive analog supply; must be ≥ +2.7V (single) or ≥ ±2.7V (dual); powers analog and digital sections |
| 3 | DIN | Serial data input; accepts 8-bit word MSB-first; sampled on SCLK rising edge when CS is low |
| 4 | GND | Digital ground reference; analog signals referenced only to V+ and V−, not GND |
| 5 | COM | Common analog terminal; bidirectional; functions as mux output or shared input for all NO channels |
| 6–13 | NO0–NO7 | Normally open analog terminals; bidirectional; each connects to COM when corresponding bit = 1 |
| 14 | N.C. | No internal connection; must be left unconnected |
| 15 | V− | Negative analog supply; tied to GND for single-supply operation; defines lower analog signal limit |
| 16 | DOUT | Serial data output; provides daisy-chain capability; outputs delayed DIN data (8 clocks later) |
| 17 | RESET | Asynchronous active-low reset; forces all switches OFF and clears shift register to 00000000 |
| 18 | SCLK | Serial clock input; rising edge clocks DIN data into shift register; hysteresis >100mV improves noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 8-bit serial shift register | Enables microcontroller-based control with only 3 I/O lines (DIN, SCLK, CS), reducing GPIO count and PCB routing complexity |
| Daisy-chain capability | DOUT output allows cascading multiple MAX349CPN+ devices under one CS line, simplifying expansion of channel count without added control lines |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports input/output signals from V− to V+ without clipping, eliminating need for external level-shifting in ±5V or +12V systems |
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed 2ns minimum delay prevents momentary shorting between channels during reconfiguration, protecting sensitive sources |
| 2kV ESD protection | Per Method 3015.7 - enhances robustness in handling and board-level environments without external protection components |

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, SPI-controlled, but requires separate VDD/VSS and logic supply; 4.5Ω typical RON vs. 100Ω max for MAX349CPN+ | Optimized for low-RON, low-voltage (≤5.5V) portable applications; lacks dual-supply flexibility and rail-to-rail beyond supply rails | Select ADG708BRUZ when ultra-low on-resistance and low supply current (<1µA) are prioritized over wide supply range and bipolar signal support. |
| TMUX1308PWR | 8-channel, parallel-controlled (3 address lines), no serial interface; 4.5Ω typical RON; supports 1.08V–5.5V supply only | Designed for space-constrained, low-pin-count MCU interfaces; no daisy-chaining or shift-register flexibility | Select TMUX1308PWR when simple address decoding suffices and serial bus overhead must be avoided, accepting loss of remote configurability. |
Compared with ADG708BRUZ and TMUX1308PWR, the MAX349CPN+ uniquely combines wide dual/single supply operation (±2.7V to ±8V or +2.7V to +16V), true rail-to-rail analog signaling, and SPI-compatible daisy-chain capability-making it optimal for industrial, avionics, and ATE systems requiring robust, flexible, and scalable analog switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable analog signal range for MAX349CPN+ when operated with ±5V supplies?
The MAX349CPN+ supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V− to V+, meaning −5V to +5V with ±5V supplies. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables, where VCOM/VNO is specified as (V− − 2V) to (V+ + 2V) for safe operation, but functional analog range is strictly V− to V+ under normal conditions.
Does MAX349CPN+ support daisy-chaining with other MAX349CPN+ devices, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX349CPN+ supports daisy-chaining via its DOUT pin. When multiple devices share a common CS line, DIN data is shifted through the first device's DOUT into the next device's DIN. On the rising edge of CS, all shift registers latch simultaneously, updating all switches in lockstep-enabling scalable channel expansion without additional control lines.
What is the function of the RESET pin on MAX349CPN+, and does it affect the serial interface state?
The RESET pin on MAX349CPN+ is an asynchronous active-low input that forces all eight switches to the OFF state and resets the internal 8-bit shift register to 00000000. It does not interfere with ongoing serial communication but overrides all prior configurations, ensuring a known, safe state after power-up or fault recovery.
Can MAX349CPN+ operate with a single +3.3V supply, and what are the key performance trade-offs?
Yes, MAX349CPN+ operates with a single +3.3V supply (within +3.0V to +3.6V range). At this voltage, typical on-resistance increases to ~600Ω (vs. 100Ω at ±5V), and turn-on time extends to ~700ns. However, logic thresholds remain compatible (VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.4V), and leakage stays below 0.1nA at +25°C-preserving suitability for low-power, battery-operated systems.
How does the MAX349CPN+ ensure break-before-make switching, and is it guaranteed across temperature?
The MAX349CPN+ guarantees a minimum 2ns break-before-make delay (tBBM) between switch transitions, measured from the rising edge of CS. This parameter is tested and specified across the full operating temperature range (0°C to +70°C for MAX349CPN+), ensuring reliable channel isolation even under thermal stress and preventing momentary shorts in multi-source systems.
