Product details
Overview
The MAX350C/D from Maxim Integrated is a dual 4-channel serially controlled analog multiplexer, implementing two independent 4-to-1 muxes (COMA/NO0A–NO3A and COMB/NO0B–NO3B) with bidirectional rail-to-rail signal handling, 100Ω max on-resistance at ±5V supplies, <16Ω channel matching, and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire interface - used in precision data-acquisition systems requiring low-leakage (<0.1nA @ +25°C) and high off-isolation (>90dB).
For engineers reviewing the MAX350C/D datasheet, MAX350C/D pinout, MAX350C/D application, or MAX350C/D equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, daisy-chain timing behavior, dual/single-supply operating ranges (±2.7V to ±8V or +2.7V to +16V), reset-controlled power-up state, and real-world analog routing use cases.
Technical Context
The MAX350C/D operates as two independent 4-bit shift-register-controlled SPST switch arrays, each with dedicated common (COMA/COMB) and normally open (NO0A–NO3A / NO0B–NO3B) terminals. Its internal logic decodes 8-bit serial data (D7–D0) where bits D7–D4 control mux A and D3–D0 control mux B - enabling simultaneous or independent channel selection.
It features asynchronous RESET that forces all switches OFF and clears the shift register, plus CS-synchronized latching on rising edge to update analog paths. The device supports daisy-chaining via DOUT-to-DIN cascading, with V+ referenced DOUT output level and TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs at ±5V or +5V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Configuration | Dual independent 4-to-1 analog multiplexers (COMA/NO0A–NO3A and COMB/NO0B–NO3B) |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 100Ω max at ±5V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor/ADC front-ends |
| On-Resistance Match | ≤16Ω between channels - critical for matched gain paths in differential or ratiometric measurement systems |
| Analog Signal Range | Rail-to-rail: (V− − 2V) to (V+ + 2V) - supports full-scale operation with ±5V, ±3V, or single +5V/+3V supplies |
| Off-Leakage Current | 0.1nA max at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance pH, thermocouple, or photodiode interfaces |
| Serial Interface | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire (SCLK, DIN, DOUT) with CS-latched update - enables microcontroller integration without parallel bus overhead |
| Power Supply Range | ±2.7V to ±8V dual or +2.7V to +16V single - accommodates industrial, avionics, and battery-powered designs |
Pinout & Package
MAX350C/D is offered in 18-pin plastic DIP and SO packages (per Ordering Information). Pin functions are validated per Maxim's MAX350 functional diagram and Pin Description table.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low latch enable: rising edge updates switch states from shift register contents |
| RESET | Asynchronous Reset | Active-low: forces all switches OFF and clears internal shift register to zero |
| DOUT | Serial Data Output | Shift register Q8 output - enables daisy-chaining of multiple MAX350s with V+-referenced logic high |
| V− | Negative Analog Supply | Connect to GND for single-supply operation; required for bipolar signal handling |
| GND | Digital Ground Reference | Reference for digital I/O only; analog signals float between V+ and V− |
| DIN | Serial Data Input | MSB-first (D7 first) data input synchronized to SCLK rising edge |
| V+ | Positive Analog Supply | Supplies analog path and sets DOUT logic-high level; range +2.7V to +16V |
| SCLK | Serial Clock Input | Rising-edge clock for DIN data capture; hysteresis >100mV prevents noise-induced misreads |
| COMA, COMB | Mux Outputs / Common Terminals | Bidirectional analog nodes - either may serve as input or output depending on signal flow direction |
| NO0A–NO3A, NO0B–NO3B | Mux Inputs / Normally Open Terminals | Bidirectional analog nodes - conduct equally well in either direction when enabled |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 4-to-1 mux architecture | Enables simultaneous routing of two separate analog signal streams (e.g., dual ADC inputs or redundant sensor paths) |
| 100Ω max on-resistance with ≤16Ω matching | Minimizes channel-to-channel gain mismatch in multi-channel instrumentation amplifiers or calibration circuits |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports full dynamic range of ±10V sensors or +0–+5V industrial transducers without level-shifting circuitry |
| Asynchronous RESET with zero-power default | Guarantees known OFF state at power-up or fault recovery - eliminates undefined analog shorts during boot |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG732BRUZ | 32-channel, single 3.3V/5V supply only; 4Ω RON; no daisy-chain DOUT | Higher channel count but lacks dual independent mux structure and asynchronous RESET | Choose ADG732BRUZ for high-density, low-RON single-supply systems where daisy-chaining isn't needed. |
| TMUX1308PWR | 8-channel, single 1.8–5.5V supply; 5.5Ω RON; I²C interface; no dual-mux partitioning | Lower voltage operation and I²C compatibility, but no COMA/COMB separation or RESET pin | Choose TMUX1308PWR for battery-powered, low-voltage microcontroller systems requiring I²C control. |
Compared with ADG732BRUZ and TMUX1308PWR, the MAX350C/D uniquely provides dual independent 4-to-1 muxes with asynchronous RESET, daisy-chain capability, and bipolar supply support - making it optimal for industrial and avionics applications requiring fault containment and flexible analog routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable analog signal range for the MAX350C/D when operated from ±5V supplies?
The MAX350C/D supports rail-to-rail analog signals from (V− − 2V) to (V+ + 2V). With ±5V supplies, this yields a usable analog range of −7V to +7V. This extended range accommodates signal overshoot and ensures reliable conduction even with transient excursions beyond the supply rails - critical in industrial sensor interfaces where EMI-induced spikes occur.
Does the MAX350C/D support daisy-chaining, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX350C/D supports daisy-chaining via its DOUT pin, which outputs the same data shifted in eight clocks earlier. To daisy-chain, connect DOUT of one MAX350C/D to DIN of the next, tie all CS pins together, and shift an N×8-bit stream. On the rising edge of CS, all devices simultaneously update their switch states - enabling synchronized configuration of multiple MAX350C/D units with a single microcontroller GPIO.
What happens to the switch states of the MAX350C/D during power-up?
At power-up, all switches of the MAX350C/D are guaranteed OFF and the internal shift register resets to zero. This behavior is ensured by internal power-on-reset circuitry and does not require external RESET assertion. It prevents unintended analog shorts or signal contention during system initialization - a key safety feature in medical and avionics applications.
Can the MAX350C/D operate from a single +5V supply, and what impact does this have on performance?
Yes, the MAX350C/D operates from a single +5V supply (V− tied to GND). In this mode, on-resistance increases to 175Ω max (vs. 100Ω at ±5V), and analog signal range becomes 0V to +5V. Off-isolation remains >90dB and leakage stays <0.1nA @ +25°C. This configuration is ideal for cost-sensitive, low-voltage embedded systems where bipolar signal handling is unnecessary.
How does the RESET pin function on the MAX350C/D, and is it necessary to use it in every design?
The RESET pin on the MAX350C/D is active-low and asynchronously forces all switches OFF and clears the internal shift register to zero - regardless of CS or clock state. While not mandatory (power-up default is safe), using RESET is recommended in safety-critical systems to guarantee known analog isolation after fault conditions, brownouts, or software crashes. It requires only a pull-up resistor and momentary active-low pulse.
