Product details
Overview
MAX351CSE+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision quad SPST analog switch with four normally closed (NC) channels, designed for high-fidelity signal routing in precision instrumentation and military-grade systems. It delivers <35Ω on-resistance (typ. 22Ω), <2Ω channel-to-channel match, <3Ω on-resistance flatness over rail-to-rail analog signals (±15.5V), and <10pC charge injection - enabling low-distortion sample-and-hold and guidance system signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the MAX351CSE+ datasheet, MAX351CSE+ pinout, MAX351CSE+ application, or MAX351CSE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance matching across temperature, ESD >2000V robustness, dual-supply (±4.5V to ±20V) or single-supply (+10V to +30V) operation, and rail-to-rail analog handling without signal clipping.
Technical Context
The MAX351CSE+ implements four independent NC-switch cells fabricated in Maxim's 44V silicon-gate process, supporting bipolar supplies up to ±20V or unipolar supplies from +10V to +30V while maintaining CMOS/TTL logic compatibility via VL pin. Its architecture guarantees matched on-resistance (<2Ω) and flatness (∆3Ω max) only under bipolar operation, per datasheet Note 5.
It features low leakage (<250pA at +25°C, <6nA at +85°C), fast switching (tON <175ns, tOFF <145ns), and rail-to-rail analog signal range (VCOM, VNO/NC = V− to V+), enabled by internal clamping diodes and substrate tie to V+. Charge injection is tightly controlled at <10pC, critical for precision sampling integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On Resistance | ≤35Ω max (22Ω typ); ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision gain-setting or multiplexing paths |
| On Resistance Match | ≤2Ω between channels; enables accurate differential signal routing and matched filter banks |
| On Resistance Flatness | ∆3Ω max over full analog range; maintains consistent gain/attenuation across ±15.5V input swing |
| Charge Injection | ≤10pC; limits voltage glitch in sample-and-hold hold capacitors, preserving ADC accuracy |
| Off-Leakage Current | ≤6nA at +85°C; prevents DC error accumulation in high-impedance sensor front-ends |
| Supply Range | +10V to +30V (single) or ±4.5V to ±20V (dual); supports industrial and military power architectures |
| ESD Rating | >2000V per Method 3015.7; provides robust handling in field-deployable equipment assembly |
Pinout & Package
MAX351CSE+ uses a 16-pin narrow SOIC package (JEDEC MS-012AA, 3.9mm width), RoHS-compliant and rated for 0°C to +70°C operation. Pin 1 is IN1; pin 16 is COM1; substrate tied to V+ (pin 13).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 (pins 15,14,7,6) | Logic control inputs | CMOS/TTL-compatible digital enable lines; active-low logic opens NC path |
| COM1–COM4 (pins 16,13,10,9) | Analog common terminals | Signal entry points for each NC switch; routed to NC pins when IN = low |
| NC1–NC4 (pins 1,12,11,4) | Normally closed analog outputs | Default-connected paths to COMx; open only when corresponding INx = high |
| V+ (pin 11) | Positive supply | Substrate connection point; must be ≥ V− + 0.3V and ≤44V above V− |
| V− (pin 2) | Negative supply | Reference for bipolar operation; connects to GND in single-supply mode |
| GND (pin 3) | Ground reference | Logic and analog return; separate from V− in dual-supply configs |
| VL (pin 10) | Logic supply voltage | Sets logic threshold: 5V for TTL, V+ for CMOS; decouples logic from analog rails |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports VCOM/VNC = V− to V+ (±15.5V typical), eliminating level-shifting in wide-dynamic-range systems |
| Guaranteed on-resistance matching | ≤2Ω channel-to-channel variation ensures balanced performance in differential or multi-path signal chains |
| Low charge injection | ≤10pC minimizes hold-step error in precision sample-and-hold circuits, improving effective resolution |
| Bipolar or single-supply operation | Operates from ±4.5V to ±20V or +10V to +30V - simplifies power design in mixed-signal military platforms |
| ESD robustness | >2000V per Method 3015.7 allows direct integration into handheld or field-replaceable modules without external protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX352CSE+ | Four normally open (NO) configuration vs. MAX351CSE+'s NC; identical specs otherwise | Used where default-open safety state required (e.g., power-down isolation) | Select MAX352CSE+ when fail-safe open behavior is needed; pinout and timing match MAX351CSE+ |
| ADG1414BRUZ | Higher on-resistance (1.8Ω typ), wider temp range (−40°C to +125°C), but no guaranteed match spec | Better suited for automotive under-hood use; lacks channel-matching guarantee for precision metrology | Choose ADG1414BRUZ for extended temperature operation; avoid where <2Ω matching is mandatory |
Compared with MAX351CSE+, MAX352CSE+ offers identical performance in a complementary NO topology ideal for safety-critical disconnect, while ADG1414BRUZ trades guaranteed matching for broader temperature capability - making MAX351CSE+ optimal for precision-guidance and sample-and-hold where channel uniformity is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX351CSE+?
The MAX351CSE+ is specified for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation. This commercial-grade temperature range aligns with its narrow SOIC packaging and targets non-extended-environment applications such as benchtop test gear and line-powered military subsystems. For extended ranges, consider MAX351ESE (−40°C to +85°C) or MAX351MJE (−55°C to +125°C).
Does MAX351CSE+ support single-supply operation?
Yes, MAX351CSE+ supports single-supply operation from +10V to +30V. In this mode, connect V− to GND and set VL to 5V for TTL compatibility or to V+ for CMOS logic levels. The analog signal range remains rail-to-rail (0V to V+), preserving full dynamic range without level-shifting circuitry.
How does the normally closed (NC) configuration of MAX351CSE+ affect system safety?
The NC configuration of MAX351CSE+ ensures default signal continuity when power is absent or logic inputs are floating - a critical fail-safe trait in guidance systems and emergency comms hardware. Only when INx is driven high does the corresponding NC path open, enabling intentional isolation without external pull-up/down components.
Is MAX351CSE+ pin-compatible with MAX352CSE+?
Yes, MAX351CSE+ and MAX352CSE+ share identical pinout, package, and timing characteristics - differing only in switch logic polarity (NC vs. NO). This allows direct substitution in layouts where functional behavior can be adjusted via firmware or external logic, with no PCB changes required.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage supported by MAX351CSE+?
MAX351CSE+ supports analog signals from V− to V+, with absolute maximum ratings of V+ ≤ 44V above V−. At ±15V supplies, the usable analog range is ±15.5V (per datasheet Table "Analog Signal Range"). Exceeding V+ or V− triggers internal clamping diodes, so signal excursions must stay within these bounds to avoid current limiting.
