Product details
Overview
MAX354EWE+ from Maxim Integrated is a fault-protected single 8-channel analog multiplexer designed for high-reliability signal routing in industrial and avionics systems. It operates from ±4.5V to ±18V dual supplies (or +4.5V to +36V single supply), features 350Ω max on-resistance, <0.5nA input leakage at +25°C, and guarantees break-before-make switching. It protects against ±40V overvoltage with power off and clamps outputs to within 1.5V of supply rails during faults.
For engineers reviewing the MAX354EWE+ datasheet, MAX354EWE+ pinout, MAX354EWE+ application, or MAX354EWE+ equivalent, key selection considerations include fault tolerance under supply loss, leakage-critical precision signal routing, ±40V continuous overvoltage immunity, and compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic without pull-ups.
Technical Context
The MAX354EWE+ employs a series N-channel/P-channel/N-channel FET structure that actively limits fault current to sub-microamp levels when analog inputs exceed supply rails - even with V+ and V- unpowered. Its digital interface uses fixed 0.8V/2.4V logic thresholds referenced to GND, ensuring robust TTL/CMOS compatibility across ±4.5V to ±18V supply ranges.
During overvoltage events, the device maintains polarity integrity and avoids glitches by dynamically increasing on-resistance above ±13.5V (with ±15V supplies), limiting output swing to approximately –12V to +13.5V while clamping outputs 1.5V below V+ and 1.5V above V–. Charge injection is characterized at 15–180pC depending on supply and analog voltage, with 100ns guaranteed break-before-make interval.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±18V dual or +4.5V to +36V single - supports wide industrial rail flexibility and asymmetrical operation (e.g., +15V/–5V) |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 350Ω max - enables low-gain error in precision sensor/metering paths with ≤10kΩ source impedance |
| Input Leakage (25°C) | <0.5nA - preserves accuracy in high-impedance pH, thermocouple, or strain gauge front-ends |
| Fault Tolerance | ±40V continuous with supplies off - eliminates need for external TVS or series resistors in field-connected I/O |
| Logic Thresholds | 0.8V low / 2.4V high - ensures direct interface to 3.3V/5V microcontrollers without level shifters or pull-ups |
| Break-Before-Make | 100ns min - prevents momentary channel-to-channel shorting in redundant signal selection |
| Charge Injection | 15pC (±15V, –10V input) to 180pC (±15V, +10V input) - defines settling time impact on 12-bit+ SAR ADC sampling |
Pinout & Package
MAX354EWE+ is housed in a 16-pin Wide SO (SOIC-W) package, 7.5mm body width, 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, with thermal pad option not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 16 | A2, A0 | Channel address inputs - A2 enables 8-channel decode (A2/A1/A0); A0 least-significant bit |
| 2 | A1 | Channel address input - middle bit for 3-bit binary decoding of NO1–NO8 to COM |
| 3 | V− | Negative supply rail - connect to GND for single-supply operation; sets lower analog swing limit |
| 4–7 | NO1–NO4 | Analog input/output terminals - bidirectional, interchangeable with NO5–NO8 and COM |
| 8 | COM | Common analog terminal - routed to selected NOx channel; used as input (mux) or output (demux) |
| 9–12 | NO5–NO8 | Analog input/output terminals - identical electrical specs and routing capability as NO1–NO4 |
| 13 | GND | Circuit ground reference - provides logic threshold reference and shields analog/digital coupling |
| 14 | V+ | Positive supply rail - sets upper analog swing limit; powers internal protection FET gates |
| 15 | EN | Enable control input - high = active; low = all switches open; TTL/CMOS compatible, no pull-up required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fault protection with supplies off | Withstands ±40V continuous input regardless of V+/V− state - eliminates system-level power sequencing constraints |
| Output clamping during fault | Clamps COM/NOx to within 1.5V of V+ or V− rails - prevents downstream op-amp saturation or ADC overrange |
| No power-up sequencing required | Operates safely with arbitrary V+/V−/GND/EN power application order - simplifies power domain partitioning |
| All switches off with supplies off | Zero conduction path between any NOx and COM when V+/V− = 0 - prevents backfeeding or signal leakage |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | 0.8V/2.4V thresholds independent of supply voltage - interoperable with 3.3V FPGA I/O and 5V microcontrollers |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fault-protected analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG508F | Pin-compatible but lacks ±40V fault tolerance with supplies off; max fault rating ±20V only with power applied. | Suitable for board-level protected environments but not field-wire interfaces. | Select ADG508F only if overvoltage exposure is limited to powered operation and ≤±20V. |
| MAX358 | Same fault architecture and ±40V rating, but dual 4-channel (MAX355 form factor); not pin-compatible with MAX354EWE+. | Requires PCB redesign; offers channel redundancy but no 8:1 single-package solution. | Choose MAX358 when dual independent 4-channel routing is preferred over compact 8:1 topology. |
Compared with ADG508F and MAX358, the MAX354EWE+ uniquely delivers 8:1 routing in a single wide-SO package with guaranteed ±40V fault survival regardless of supply state - making it the only option for space-constrained, field-connected systems requiring zero-power fault immunity.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous overvoltage the MAX354EWE+ can withstand with power supplies disconnected?
The MAX354EWE+ withstands ±40V continuous analog overvoltage on any NOx or COM pin with V+ and V− unpowered. This is achieved via its series N/P/N FET structure, which forces sub-microamp leakage and infinite on-resistance under fault - verified per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Typical Operating Characteristics Figure 8–9. This capability is intrinsic to the MAX354EWE+ silicon design and requires no external components.
Does the MAX354EWE+ require external pull-up resistors on its digital control pins?
No, the MAX354EWE+ does not require external pull-up resistors on A0, A1, A2, or EN. Its digital inputs have guaranteed 0.8V low and 2.4V high thresholds referenced to GND, ensuring direct compatibility with standard TTL and CMOS logic outputs across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). Input leakage remains below 1µA, eliminating current-driven bias requirements.
Can the MAX354EWE+ be used in single-supply configurations, and what is the minimum positive supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX354EWE+ supports single-supply operation from +4.5V to +36V. Connect V− to GND, and ensure the analog signal range stays within 1.5V of the rails (e.g., 0V to V+ – 1.5V). At +4.5V supply, output swing is limited to approximately +3.5V to –2V relative to GND, and RON increases slightly versus ±15V operation - both confirmed in Electrical Characteristics and Typical Operating Characteristics sections of the MAX354EWE+ datasheet.
How does the MAX354EWE+ behave during a fault condition - does it invert signal polarity or generate glitches?
The MAX354EWE+ maintains correct signal polarity and produces no glitches during fault entry or recovery. When analog voltage exceeds V+ – 1.5V or falls below V− + 1.5V, its internal FETs progressively increase on-resistance to limit current and clamp the output - without polarity reversal, latch-up, or transient spikes. This behavior is validated in Detailed Description Figures 8–11 and confirmed by "no glitches or polarity reversals" statement in the MAX354EWE+ datasheet.
Is the MAX354EWE+ pin-compatible with the MAX354CWE or MAX354EPE variants?
Yes, the MAX354EWE+ is pin-compatible with MAX354CWE (0°C to +70°C) and MAX354EPE (–40°C to +85°C, PDIP) variants. All share identical 16-pin SOIC-W (MAX354EWE+) / PDIP (MAX354EPE) footprints and identical pin functions per Pin Description table. The only differences are temperature grade and package type - the MAX354EWE+ uses wide SO for improved thermal performance and board-space efficiency in industrial layouts.
