Product details
Overview
MAX350CPN from Maxim Integrated is a dual 4-channel serially controlled analog multiplexer with bidirectional signal routing, 100Ω max on-resistance (±5V supplies), ±2.7V to ±8V dual-supply or +2.7V to +16V single-supply operation, and rail-to-rail signal handling - used in industrial process control systems for flexible sensor signal aggregation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX350CPN datasheet, MAX350CPN pinout, MAX350CPN application, or MAX350CPN equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, daisy-chain SPI-compatible interface timing, COMA/COMB dual-output architecture, off-leakage current at +85°C, and real-world audio routing and ATE use cases - all confirmed from Maxim's official 19-0451 Rev 1 datasheet.
Technical Context
The MAX350CPN implements two independent 4-to-1 analog multiplexers (COMA/NO0A–NO3A and COMB/NO0B–NO3B) controlled by an 8-bit shift register clocked on SCLK rising edge with CS-latched update. Its three-wire SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE interface supports daisy-chaining via DOUT, enabling synchronized configuration of multiple devices.
Each switch exhibits matched on-resistance (≤16Ω max between channels) and flat on-resistance (≤10Ω max over ±3V signal range), with <0.1nA NO off-leakage at +25°C and 5nA at +85°C. Power-up defaults all switches OFF and resets the shift register to zero.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (RON) | 100Ω max at ±5V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation in precision analog paths |
| On-resistance match | ≤16Ω max between channels - enables consistent gain/attenuation across selected inputs |
| Rail-to-rail signal range | V- to V+ - supports full dynamic range of bipolar or unipolar analog signals without clipping |
| Off-leakage current | 5nA max at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends |
| Supply range | ±2.7V to ±8V dual or +2.7V to +16V single - accommodates legacy ±5V and modern low-voltage systems |
| Serial interface | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire (DIN/SCLK/CS) with DOUT daisy-chain - reduces MCU GPIO count and simplifies multi-mux control |
| Turn-on time | 400ns max - enables fast channel switching in data-acquisition sampling sequences |
Pinout & Package
MAX350CPN is supplied in an 18-pin plastic DIP package (0°C to +70°C operating range). Pin functions are validated per Maxim's MAX349/MAX350 datasheet Figure 1 and Pin Description table.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 15, 16, 17, 18 | Digital I/O and power | SCLK, V+, DIN, GND, V-, DOUT, RESET, CS - define serial control interface and supply connections |
| 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 | Analog terminals | COMA, NO0A–NO3A, COMB, NO0B–NO3B - form two independent 4:1 muxes with fully bidirectional signal paths |
| 9 | No-connect | N.C. - not internally connected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent 4-to-1 mux architecture | Enables simultaneous routing of two separate analog signal groups (e.g., temperature + pressure sensors) without crosstalk |
| Asynchronous RESET input | Guarantees known OFF state and cleared shift register on system reset - critical for fail-safe startup in industrial controllers |
| 2kV ESD protection (HBM) | Protects against handling damage and field transients in factory automation environments |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | 0.8V/2.4V thresholds ensure reliable interfacing with both 5V microcontrollers and mixed-voltage digital systems |
| Break-before-make delay | 2ns max - prevents momentary shorting during channel transitions in sensitive analog measurement circuits |
Applications
| Industrial Process Monitoring | Automated Test Equipment (ATE) |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 4-channel analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG732BRUZ | 32-channel, 16-bit parallel interface, 4Ω on-resistance, +3V to +5.5V only | Requires more PCB space and GPIO resources; lacks serial daisy-chain capability | Prefer when ultra-low RON and parallel control outweigh serial simplicity and dual-supply flexibility |
| TMUX1308PWR | Single 8:1 mux, no dual-output architecture, 5.5Ω on-resistance, SPI-compatible but no DOUT daisy-chain | Cannot replicate independent COMA/COMB routing; limited to single-path selection | Choose only if application requires exactly one 8:1 path and lower RON justifies loss of dual-mux topology |
Compared with ADG732BRUZ and TMUX1308PWR, MAX350CPN uniquely combines dual independent 4:1 routing, SPI daisy-chain support, wide supply range (±2.7V to ±8V), and guaranteed <5nA off-leakage at +85°C - making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-sensor industrial and avionics systems requiring deterministic power-up behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable analog signal range for MAX350CPN when operated with ±5V supplies?
The MAX350CPN supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V− to V+, meaning −5V to +5V with ±5V supplies. This is explicitly specified in the "Analog Signal Range" parameter (VCOM, VNO) across dual-supply electrical characteristics tables, and confirmed by the "Rail-to-Rail® Signal Handling" feature. Operation outside this range risks latch-up or permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does MAX350CPN support daisy-chaining multiple devices using a single SPI bus?
Yes, MAX350CPN supports daisy-chaining via its DOUT pin, which outputs the shifted-in data delayed by eight clock cycles. As described in the "Daisy-Chaining" section and Figure 5 of the datasheet, connecting DOUT of one MAX350CPN to DIN of the next allows cascading multiple devices with shared SCLK and CS lines - enabling synchronized configuration of up to N devices with only 3 MCU pins.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance match between channels for MAX350CPN at +25°C?
The MAX350CPN guarantees ≤16Ω maximum on-resistance match (∆RON = RON(max) − RON(min)) between any two channels at +25°C under ±5V supplies, as specified in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS-Dual Supplies" table. This parameter ensures predictable gain tracking in multi-channel instrumentation amplifier front-ends.
How does the RESET pin function on MAX350CPN, and what state does it force?
The RESET pin on MAX350CPN is asynchronous and active-low. When driven low, it forces all analog switches to the OFF state and resets the internal 8-bit shift register to zero - regardless of CS or SCLK state. This behavior is documented in the "General Description" and "Pin Description" sections, ensuring a known safe state during power sequencing or fault recovery.
Can MAX350CPN operate from a single +5V supply, and what are the key performance trade-offs?
Yes, MAX350CPN operates from a single +5V supply (V− = GND), supporting analog signals from 0V to +5V. Key trade-offs include higher on-resistance (175Ω max vs. 100Ω max at ±5V) and reduced off-isolation (≥90dB vs. >90dB), as shown in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS-Single +5V Supply" table. These are direct consequences of MOSFET threshold voltage effects under unipolar bias.
