Product details
Overview
MAX350EWN 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 SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire interface. It enables rail-to-rail analog switching in industrial data-acquisition and avionics signal routing systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX350EWN datasheet, MAX350EWN pinout, MAX350EWN application, or MAX350EWN equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, daisy-chain timing behavior, COMA/COMB dual-output architecture, -40°C to +85°C extended temperature rating, and real-world leakage/flatness performance under dual- and single-supply conditions.
Technical Context
The MAX350EWN 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 while CS is low. Each switch supports bidirectional rail-to-rail signal handling with matched on-resistance (≤16Ω) and flatness (≤10Ω) over ±3V input range.
Its asynchronous RESET input forces all switches OFF and clears the shift register; DOUT provides daisy-chain capability by outputting the first bit (D7) after eight clocks. Logic thresholds (0.8V/2.4V) ensure TTL/CMOS compatibility with ±5V or +5V supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Configuration | Dual 4-to-1 SPST mux (COMA/NO0A–NO3A and COMB/NO0B–NO3B) |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 100Ω max at ±5V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation in precision analog paths |
| On-Resistance Match | ≤16Ω between channels - critical for gain-matching in multi-channel instrumentation |
| Supply Range | ±2.7V to ±8V dual or +2.7V to +16V single - supports legacy ±5V and modern low-voltage systems |
| Off-Leakage Current | 0.1nA at +25°C, 5nA at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends |
| Serial Interface | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire (CS/SCLK/DIN/DOUT) - enables microcontroller integration without protocol translation |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and avionics environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX350EWN uses an 18-pin wide SO (SOIC-W) package with exposed pad (not electrically connected). Pin 14 is N.C. (not internally connected); pins 10 and 16 are also N.C. Power sequencing requires V+ before V− during startup.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 18 | CS | Chip-select active-low - latches shift-register contents on rising edge to update switch states |
| 2 | V+ | Positive analog supply - must be ≥|V−| for rail-to-rail operation; powers internal logic and analog path |
| 3 | DIN | Serial data input - synchronous with SCLK rising edge; MSB (D7) first |
| 4 | GND | Digital ground reference - separate from analog signal return; no analog ground connection required |
| 5 | COMA | Common output for "A" mux group - connects to NO0A–NO3A when selected; bidirectional |
| 6–9 | NO0A–NO3A | Normally open inputs for "A" mux - interchangeable as input/output; matched RON enables precision routing |
| 11–14 | NO3B–NO0B | Normally open inputs for "B" mux - inverted numbering vs. "A" group per datasheet pin diagram |
| 15 | V− | Negative analog supply - tied to GND for single-supply use; defines lower analog signal limit |
| 16 | DOUT | Serial data output - D7 delayed by 8 clocks; enables daisy-chaining multiple MAX350s |
| 17 | RESET | Asynchronous reset - drives all switches OFF and clears shift register regardless of CS/SCLK state |
| 18 | CS | Chip-select - shared with pin 1; rising edge updates switch configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-Rail® signal handling | Supports analog signals from V− to V+ - eliminates level-shifting in ±5V or +12V systems |
| Dual independent 4-to-1 muxes | COMA/NO0A–NO3A and COMB/NO0B–NO3B operate simultaneously - enables parallel channel selection |
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed 1ns–10ns delay prevents momentary shorting - safe for multiplexing voltage sources |
| 2kV ESD protection | Per Method 3015.7 - enhances robustness in handling-sensitive industrial test equipment |
| Low charge injection (≤160pC) | Minimizes transient glitches during switching - critical for sample-and-hold and ADC front-end stability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1414BRUZ | Single 8-channel mux (not dual 4-channel); 1.8Ω typical RON; requires 2.7V–5.5V single supply only | Lacks dual independent outputs and dual-supply support - unsuitable for ±5V avionics or split-rail industrial sensors | Select when ultra-low on-resistance and single-supply simplicity outweigh dual-output flexibility |
| TS5A3159DCKR | Single SPDT switch; 0.75Ω typical RON; 1.65V–5.5V supply; no serial interface | No shift register, no daisy-chaining, no multi-channel control - requires GPIO-per-switch implementation | Select for point-to-point switching where serial control and channel count are unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage range for the MAX350EWN?
The MAX350EWN supports dual supplies from ±2.7V to ±8V or a single supply from +2.7V to +16V. Absolute maximum ratings specify V+ up to +17V and V− down to -17V, but functional operation is guaranteed only within the specified ranges. Exceeding ±8V or +16V risks permanent damage and violates the device's qualified operating envelope.
How does the MAX350EWN handle bidirectional analog signal routing?
The MAX350EWN allows signals to pass equally well in either direction between COMA/COMB and their respective NOx terminals because its CMOS switches have symmetric construction. This means NO0A can serve as input while COMA acts as output, or vice versa - enabling flexible signal flow in both acquisition and drive applications without polarity constraints.
Can multiple MAX350EWN devices be daisy-chained, and how is it implemented?
Yes, multiple MAX350EWN devices can be daisy-chained using the DOUT pin. Connect DOUT of one device to DIN of the next, tie all CS pins together, and shift 8 bits per device in sequence. On the rising edge of CS, all devices simultaneously latch their respective 8-bit words - enabling synchronized configuration of large analog switch matrices without additional control lines.
What is the purpose of the RESET pin on the MAX350EWN, and how does it interact with the serial interface?
The RESET pin on the MAX350EWN is asynchronous and forces all analog switches OFF while clearing the internal 8-bit shift register to zero - independent of CS or SCLK state. This provides deterministic power-up or fault-recovery behavior. Unlike CS-based updates, RESET requires only a low pulse ≥70ns and does not depend on serial clocking or data alignment.
Does the MAX350EWN support single-supply operation, and what are the analog signal limitations in that mode?
Yes, the MAX350EWN supports single-supply operation with V− tied to GND and V+ ranging from +2.7V to +16V. In this mode, analog signals must stay within 0V to V+, and on-resistance increases (e.g., 225Ω max at +5V) compared to dual-supply operation. Rail-to-rail functionality is preserved, but leakage and flatness specifications differ per supply configuration as documented in the datasheet's single-supply electrical characteristics tables.
