Product details
Overview
MAX351ESE 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, <2Ω channel-to-channel matching, <3Ω on-resistance flatness over signal range, <250pA leakage at +25°C, and sub-175ns turn-on time-enabling accurate sampling in military radios and guidance systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX351ESE datasheet, MAX351ESE pinout, MAX351ESE application, or MAX351ESE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance matching across temperature, low charge injection (≤10pC), bipolar/singlesupply flexibility (±4.5V to ±20V or +10V to +30V), and ESD robustness (>2000V).
Technical Context
The MAX351ESE uses Maxim's 44V silicon-gate process to achieve rail-to-rail analog signal handling up to ±15.5V with guaranteed low charge injection (≤10pC) and matched on-resistance (<2Ω). Its CMOS/TTL-compatible logic inputs reduce loading while supporting dual-supply operation without level-shifting.
It features four independent NC switches with dedicated IN/COM/NC pins per channel, VL pin for logic-level selection (TTL or CMOS), and substrate tied to V+-enabling stable operation under fast-switching, low-leakage, and high-isolation requirements in sample-and-hold and test equipment circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On Resistance | ≤35Ω max - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision analog paths |
| On Resistance Match | ≤2Ω between channels - critical for multi-channel instrumentation requiring channel uniformity |
| On Resistance Flatness | ≤3Ω max over full analog range - maintains consistent gain and linearity across ±15.5V signal swing |
| Charge Injection | ≤10pC - limits voltage glitch in sample-and-hold circuits, reducing settling error |
| Off-Leakage Current | <6nA at +85°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and battery-operated systems |
| Switching Speed | tON <175ns, tOFF <145ns - supports high-throughput data acquisition and real-time control loops |
| Supply Range | +10V to +30V single supply or ±4.5V to ±20V dual supply - enables flexible power architecture integration |
Pinout & Package
MAX351ESE is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package with 1.27mm lead pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, body size 10.2mm × 5.3mm × 1.75mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 (Pins 15,14,7,6) | Logic control input | Active-low control for NC switches: logic low = ON (closed), logic high = OFF (open) |
| COM1–COM4 (Pins 2,15,10,7) | Analog common terminal | Input/output node shared between switch path and external circuit; carries full analog signal current |
| NC1–NC4 (Pins 1,12,10,9) | Analog normally-closed terminal | Connected to COM when IN = low; open-circuit when IN = high - defines default-closed signal path |
| V+ (Pin 13) | Positive supply voltage | Bias for analog path and substrate connection; must be ≥|V−| + 0.5V for proper operation |
| V− (Pin 4) | Negative supply voltage | Reference for bipolar operation; connects to GND in single-supply mode |
| GND (Pin 5) | Ground reference | Logic ground return; separate from analog signal ground in mixed-signal layouts |
| VL (Pin 12) | Logic supply voltage | Defines logic threshold: connect to +5V for TTL compatibility or to V+ for CMOS-level inputs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports ±15.5V analog signals with no clipping or distortion, enabling direct interface with op-amp outputs and sensor front-ends |
| Guaranteed on-resistance matching | ≤2Ω max mismatch between any two channels - eliminates inter-channel gain skew in multiplexed ADC drivers |
| Low charge injection (≤10pC) | Minimizes hold-mode voltage step in sample-and-hold circuits, reducing required settling time and capacitor size |
| ESD robustness >2000V | Meets Method 3015.7 - allows safe handling and board-level integration without additional protection circuitry |
| Single- and dual-supply operation | Operates from +10V to +30V or ±4.5V to ±20V - simplifies power design across industrial, military, and portable platforms |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX352ESE | Four normally open (NO) configuration instead of NC; identical RON, leakage, speed, and package | Used where default-open safety state is required (e.g., fail-safe sensor disconnect) | Select MAX352ESE when system requires de-energized default path; pinout and logic polarity differ. |
| ADG441BRZ | Quad NO switch with 40Ω RON, 25pC charge injection, and −40°C to +85°C rating; SO-16 package | Higher leakage (10nA @ +85°C) and slower switching (tON = 180ns) limit use in high-speed precision apps | Choose ADG441BRZ only if legacy footprint compatibility outweighs performance trade-offs in cost-sensitive designs. |
Compared with MAX351ESE, MAX352ESE provides identical performance in an NO configuration for fail-safe routing, while ADG441BRZ offers functional equivalence at relaxed precision and speed-making MAX351ESE optimal for NC-critical, low-glitch, high-matching applications.

FAQ
What is the logic polarity of the MAX351ESE control inputs?
The MAX351ESE features active-low logic: applying a logic low (≤0.8V) to IN1–IN4 closes the corresponding NC switch (connects COM to NC), while a logic high (≥2.4V) opens it. This behavior is fixed per the MAX351 variant and differs from the MAX352ESE's active-high NO configuration. The VL pin sets logic thresholds-tie to +5V for TTL or to V+ for CMOS compatibility.
Can the MAX351ESE operate from a single +12V supply?
Yes, the MAX351ESE supports single-supply operation from +10V to +30V. When using +12V, connect V− to GND, tie VL to +5V for TTL compatibility, and ensure analog signals remain within 0V to +12V. On-resistance increases slightly versus ±15V operation (e.g., ~45Ω typ at VCOM = +6V), but remains monotonic and flat per datasheet Figure 7.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage the MAX351ESE can handle?
The MAX351ESE supports rail-to-rail analog signals up to ±15.5V when operated with ±16.5V supplies (V+ = +16.5V, V− = −16.5V), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. Absolute maximum ratings allow VCOM, VNC, or VNO to reach (V− − 2V) to (V+ + 2V), but guaranteed performance (e.g., RON, leakage) is validated only within the ±15.5V range under recommended conditions.
How does charge injection affect sample-and-hold performance with the MAX351ESE?
With ≤10pC guaranteed charge injection, the MAX351ESE introduces ≤1mV hold-step error on a 10nF capacitor (ΔV = Q/C). In sample-and-hold circuits, this enables faster settling and smaller hold capacitors versus alternatives with >20pC injection. The low value is achieved via matched transistor geometry and layout symmetry-critical for 12-bit+ accuracy in data acquisition systems using the MAX351ESE.
Is the MAX351ESE pin-compatible with other variants in the MAX351/MAX352/MAX353 family?
Yes-the MAX351ESE, MAX352ESE, and MAX353ESE share identical 16-pin narrow SO footprints and pinouts, including IN/COM/NC assignments. However, logic polarity and switch type differ: MAX351ESE is NC (active-low), MAX352ESE is NO (active-high), and MAX353ESE mixes both. Swapping requires logic inversion and signal path revalidation, though PCB layout remains unchanged.
