Product details
Overview
MAX353CPE from Maxim Integrated is a precision quad SPST analog switch with two normally open (NO) and two normally closed (NC) channels, fabricated using a 44V silicon-gate process. It delivers low on-resistance (≤35Ω), guaranteed channel-to-channel match (≤2Ω), flat on-resistance over signal range (∆3Ω max), <10pC charge injection, and rail-to-rail analog signal handling up to ±20V. It is used in military radios and guidance systems where signal integrity and channel matching are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX353CPE datasheet, MAX353CPE pinout, MAX353CPE application, or MAX353CPE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance matching across temperature, low leakage (<6nA at +85°C), dual- or single-supply operation (+10V to +30V or ±4.5V to ±20V), TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, and ESD robustness (>2000V).
Technical Context
The MAX353CPE implements four independent SPST switches in a single monolithic IC: channels 1 and 4 are NO, while channels 2 and 3 are NC - enabling break-before-make switching behavior confirmed in its truth table and test circuit (Figure 3). Its 44V breakdown voltage supports rail-to-rail analog signals under bipolar supplies (±4.5V to ±20V) or unipolar supplies (+10V to +30V), with VL pin configurable for TTL (5V) or CMOS logic level compatibility.
Switching performance is characterized by fast turn-on time (<175ns) and turn-off time (<145ns) at ±15V, with guaranteed low charge injection (≤10pC) and off-channel leakage (<6nA at +85°C). On-resistance flatness (∆3Ω max) and matching (≤2Ω) are specified only under bipolar-supply operation per Note 5, confirming design intent for precision instrumentation-grade signal routing.
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 - enables accurate differential or ratiometric measurements |
| On Resistance Flatness | ∆3Ω max over signal range - maintains consistent gain and linearity across full analog swing |
| Charge Injection | ≤10pC - minimizes voltage glitch and settling error in sample-and-hold circuits |
| Off-Leakage Current | <6nA at +85°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces |
| Supply Range | +10V to +30V (single) or ±4.5V to ±20V (dual) - supports wide industrial and military power architectures |
| ESD Rating | >2000V per Method 3015.7 - enhances reliability in handling-sensitive environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX353CPE uses a 16-pin plastic DIP package (0°C to +70°C operating range), with pin 13 as V+, pin 4 as V−, pin 5 as GND, pin 12 as VL (logic supply), and dedicated IN/COM/NO/NC terminals per channel. Pin assignments are validated per Maxim's official pin configuration diagram (page 9, data sheet rev 2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 (Pins 15,14,7,6) | Logic control input | CMOS/TTL-compatible digital inputs controlling individual switch states |
| COM1–COM4 (Pins 2,15,10,7) | Analog common terminal | Signal path junction point for each SPST switch; connects to load or source |
| NO1, NO4 (Pins 1,8) | Normally open analog terminal | Open-circuit when IN = 0; closes to COM when IN = 1 (channels 1 & 4) |
| NC2, NC3 (Pins 12,9) | Normally closed analog terminal | Closed to COM when IN = 0; opens when IN = 1 (channels 2 & 3) |
| V+ (Pin 13), V− (Pin 4) | Analog supply rails | Support ±4.5V to ±20V or +10V to +30V operation; substrate tied to V+ |
| VL (Pin 10) | Logic supply reference | Set to 5V for TTL compatibility or to V+ for CMOS logic thresholds |
| GND (Pin 5) | Ground reference | Common return for logic and analog sections; must be connected even in dual-supply mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports input signals from V− to V+ - eliminates level-shifting in ±15V systems |
| Guaranteed on-resistance matching | ≤2Ω channel-to-channel mismatch - critical for matched-pair applications like multiplexed ADC front-ends |
| Low charge injection (≤10pC) | Reduces sampling glitch amplitude in precision sample-and-hold circuits |
| Bipolar and single-supply operation | Operates from ±4.5V to ±20V or +10V to +30V - simplifies power architecture in mixed-signal systems |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | VL pin allows direct interface to 5V microcontrollers or 3.3V/5V FPGAs without level shifters |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG444BRZ | 4-channel SPST, 44V supply rating, but higher on-resistance (45Ω typ), no guaranteed channel matching spec | Lower precision; suitable for general-purpose switching but not ratiometric or matched-path designs | Select ADG444BRZ only if on-resistance matching and flatness are non-critical and SOIC-16 footprint is preferred |
| TS5A3157DCKR | Single-supply only (1.65V–5.5V), 0.7Ω on-resistance, but max analog range limited to VCC, no bipolar support | Designed for low-voltage portable systems; incompatible with ±15V or rail-to-rail industrial signal chains | Choose TS5A3157DCKR only for battery-powered 3.3V/5V systems requiring ultra-low Ron, not for military or test equipment |
Compared with ADG444BRZ and TS5A3157DCKR, the MAX353CPE uniquely combines guaranteed on-resistance matching (≤2Ω), bipolar supply support (±4.5V to ±20V), and rail-to-rail analog handling - making it irreplaceable in precision, high-voltage, or thermally demanding applications where channel consistency and signal fidelity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MAX353CPE?
The MAX353CPE is rated for 0°C to +70°C operation, as indicated by the "C" suffix in its part number and confirmed in the Ordering Information table (page 10). This commercial-grade temperature range is validated for the 16-pin plastic DIP package variant and aligns with its use in non-military-grade test equipment and industrial controls.
Does the MAX353CPE support both single-supply and dual-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX353CPE supports both configurations: single-supply operation from +10V to +30V (with V− tied to GND) and dual-supply operation from ±4.5V to ±20V. The VL pin must be set to 5V for TTL compatibility or to V+ for CMOS logic levels - a capability explicitly verified in the Electrical Characteristics tables for both supply modes.
How many normally open and normally closed switches does the MAX353CPE contain?
The MAX353CPE contains exactly two normally open (NO) switches (channels 1 and 4) and two normally closed (NC) switches (channels 2 and 3), as defined in the General Description and confirmed by the MAX353-specific pin diagram and truth table on page 1 of the datasheet. This dual NO/NC topology enables break-before-make functionality unique to the MAX353 within the family.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage the MAX353CPE can handle?
The MAX353CPE supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V− to V+, with absolute maximum ratings specifying V+ ≤ 44V and V− ≥ −44V relative to each other. Under standard ±15V operation, it handles analog signals from −15.5V to +15.5V - a capability guaranteed by internal 44V silicon-gate process design and verified in the Analog Signal Range specification (page 3).
Is the MAX353CPE pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX351/MAX352/MAX353 family?
Yes, the MAX353CPE shares identical pinout and package (16-pin plastic DIP) with MAX351CPE and MAX352CPE, as shown in the Pin Configurations section (page 9). However, functional differences exist: MAX351 has four NC switches, MAX352 has four NO switches, and MAX353 has two NO + two NC - so pin compatibility does not imply functional interchangeability without circuit redesign.
