Product details
Overview
MAX351EPE+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision quad SPST analog switch with four normally closed (NC) channels, designed for high-fidelity signal routing in rail-to-rail analog paths. It delivers <35Ω on-resistance (max), <2Ω channel-to-channel match, <3Ω on-resistance flatness over ±15.5V signal range, and <6nA off-leakage at +85°C-enabling accurate sample-and-hold and military-grade communications systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX351EPE+ datasheet, MAX351EPE+ pinout, MAX351EPE+ application, or MAX351EPE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance matching across temperature, low 10pC charge injection for minimal signal disturbance, bipolar/singlesupply flexibility (±4.5V to ±20V or +10V to +30V), and 2000V ESD robustness in harsh environments.
Technical Context
The MAX351EPE+ implements monolithic CMOS SPST switching using Maxim's 44V silicon-gate process, enabling rail-to-rail analog signal handling up to ±15.5V with guaranteed flat on-resistance (∆3Ω max) and matched performance (<2Ω interchannel RON variation). Its logic inputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible with VL pin configurable for 5V or V+ referencing.
It operates with dual supplies (±4.5V to ±20V) or single supply (+10V to +30V), where V− must be tied to GND in unipolar mode. Charge injection is tightly controlled at ≤10pC, and off-isolation exceeds 68dB at 1MHz-critical for low-crosstalk multiplexing in test equipment and guidance systems.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX351CPE+ | 0°C to +70°C temperature range; identical pinout, electrical specs, and NC functionality | Not qualified for extended industrial or automotive ambient conditions | Select MAX351CPE+ only for commercial-grade systems operating within 0–70°C ambient |
| ADG1414BRUZ | Quad SPST, but normally open (NO); 1.5Ω typical RON, 35V max supply, LFCSP package | Lacks NC default state; requires active logic drive for all channel closures | Choose ADG1414BRUZ when NO behavior and lower RON outweigh need for fail-safe closure |
Compared with MAX351CPE+, the MAX351EPE+ adds extended temperature support (-40°C to +85°C) essential for outdoor or engine-bay deployments; versus ADG1414BRUZ, it provides inherent NC safety and DIP packaging for prototyping and legacy board compatibility, though with higher RON.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX351EPE+?
The MAX351EPE+ supports a rail-to-rail analog signal range of ±15.5V when operated with ±16.5V supplies. This is enabled by its 44V breakdown voltage and internal clamping diodes. The actual usable range scales with supply rails-for example, ±10V supplies yield ±8.5V signal swing. This specification is guaranteed across the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range for the MAX351EPE+.
Does the MAX351EPE+ require external pull-up resistors on its logic inputs?
No, the MAX351EPE+ does not require external pull-up resistors. Its CMOS/TTL-compatible logic inputs draw less than ±0.5µA over temperature, and the VL pin allows direct interfacing to 3.3V or 5V logic families without external biasing. When VL = 5V, the input thresholds are optimized for TTL; when VL = V+, thresholds align with CMOS levels-both configurations function reliably for the MAX351EPE+.
How does the on-resistance matching specification apply to the MAX351EPE+?
The MAX351EPE+ guarantees ≤2Ω maximum difference in on-resistance between any two of its four NC channels, measured under identical conditions (same supply, temperature, and signal voltage). This matching is specified and tested with bipolar supplies (±15V) and ensures consistent gain, phase, and settling behavior across channels-critical for differential signal routing and multi-channel data acquisition where channel-to-channel tracking matters.
Can the MAX351EPE+ operate from a single +12V supply?
Yes, the MAX351EPE+ operates from a single +12V supply. In this configuration, V− must be connected to GND, VL should be set to +5V for TTL compatibility, and the analog signal range becomes 0V to +10.8V (typical). Switching times increase slightly versus bipolar operation (tON ≤ 250ns, tOFF ≤ 220ns), but all key parameters-including leakage, charge injection, and RON flatness-remain fully specified for the MAX351EPE+.
What is the purpose of the VL pin on the MAX351EPE+?
The VL pin on the MAX351EPE+ sets the logic threshold voltage for the IN1–IN4 control inputs. Connecting VL to +5V configures the inputs for TTL compatibility (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.4V); connecting VL to V+ enables CMOS-level thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.3×V+, VIH ≥ 0.7×V+). This flexibility allows seamless integration with diverse host controllers while maintaining low input current (<0.5µA) across temperature for the MAX351EPE+.
