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, this page delivers verified electrical specs, fault-protection behavior under overvoltage, thermal leakage performance up to +85°C, and pin-compatible alternatives for rugged analog signal routing in data-acquisition and redundant systems.
Technical Context
The MAX354EWE implements 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-whether power is on or off. Its digital logic thresholds (0.8V/2.4V) ensure TTL/CMOS compatibility without pull-ups, and its enable-controlled channel selection supports demultiplexing with full fault protection.
During overvoltage events, the device's output clamps at ~1.5V below V+ and ~3V above V−, preserving polarity and preventing glitches. On-resistance matching between channels is ≤15Ω (typ), and charge injection is as low as 15pC at ±15V supplies with −10V input-critical for precision sampling applications.
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 configurations without level-shifting. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 350Ω max-ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision analog paths. |
| Input Leakage Current | <0.5nA at +25°C, <5nA at +85°C-reduces offset drift and loading in high-impedance sensor interfaces. |
| Fault Protection | ±40V continuous overvoltage tolerance with supplies off-enables hot-swap and undervoltage-safe operation. |
| Break-Before-Make Interval | 50ns min-prevents momentary shorting between analog inputs during channel switching. |
| Logic Compatibility | 0.8V/2.4V thresholds-direct interface with TTL and CMOS without external biasing or resistors. |
| Charge Injection | 15pC typ at ±15V, −10V input-limits settling error in sample-and-hold and ADC front-end designs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX354EWE is housed in a 16-pin Wide SO (SOIC-W) package with 0.3-inch body width and standard 1.27mm pitch. Pin assignments are fully compatible with industry-standard 16-pin SO footprints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 16 | A0, A2 | Binary address inputs selecting one of eight channels (A2 active only in MAX354); no internal pull-up/down. |
| 2 | EN | Active-high enable controlling all switches; disables all channels when low, reducing leakage and power. |
| 3 | V− | Negative supply rail; tied to GND for single-supply operation (+4.5V to +36V). |
| 4–7 | NO1–NO4 | Bidirectional analog inputs/outputs; electrically identical and interchangeable with NO5–NO8. |
| 8 | COM | Common analog terminal-serves as input (mux mode) or output (demux mode) with full fault protection. |
| 9–12 | NO5–NO8 | Bidirectional analog inputs/outputs; share same RON, leakage, and fault-clamp characteristics as NO1–NO4. |
| 13 | GND | Analog/digital reference ground-forms isolation barrier between logic and analog sections. |
| 14 | V+ | Positive supply rail; substrate tied internally to V+, requiring clean, low-impedance connection. |
| 15 | A1 | Binary address input completing 3-bit decode (A2/A1/A0) for 8-channel selection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fault-clamped output | Clamps to V+ −1.5V / V− +3V during overvoltage-preserves downstream circuit integrity without external diodes. |
| No power-up sequencing | Operates safely across all supply ramp rates-eliminates need for controlled POR timing in multi-rail systems. |
| All-switches-off with supplies off | Zero current path between NOx and COM when V+/V− = 0V-prevents backfeeding and signal corruption. |
| Demultiplexing support | Full bidirectional operation with guaranteed break-before-make-enables single-chip signal distribution in backup systems. |
| Low digital feedthrough | >100dB isolation between logic and analog sections-achieved via internal ground-plane shielding, not layout-dependent. |

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 rated only to ±20V fault protection; higher 450Ω on-resistance; no overvoltage clamp action. | Suitable for lower-voltage industrial systems (<±25V transients) where cost sensitivity outweighs extreme fault margin. | Select ADG508F only if system-level transients are limited to ±20V and leakage <1nA at +85°C is acceptable. |
| DG458 | Non-fault-protected; lacks series-FET structure; no overvoltage blocking or output clamping; 120Ω lower RON (230Ω). | Applicable only in benign lab environments with pre-conditioned signals and external protection circuitry. | Choose DG458 only when full fault protection is implemented externally and lowest possible on-resistance is critical. |
Compared with ADG508F and DG458, the MAX354EWE uniquely delivers ±40V fault tolerance with supplies off, active output clamping, and guaranteed break-before-make-making it the sole option for unconditioned field-deployed systems requiring zero external protection components.

FAQ
What is the maximum overvoltage the MAX354EWE can withstand with power supplies disconnected?
The MAX354EWE withstands continuous ±40V overvoltage on any analog terminal-even with V+ and V− disconnected or at 0V. This is enabled by its series N/P/N FET architecture, which blocks current flow using gate-source voltage thresholds independent of supply presence. At −40V input, the N-channel FET turns on but the P-channel remains off, isolating the output. The MAX354EWE maintains this protection across its full −40°C to +85°C operating range without derating.
Does the MAX354EWE support demultiplexing, and how does fault protection behave in that mode?
Yes, the MAX354EWE supports full bidirectional demultiplexing: apply the signal to COM and route it to any selected NOx pin. Fault protection remains fully active-overvoltage on an unselected NOx pin still triggers clamping and leakage limiting, and the on-channel output is clamped identically whether used as mux or demux. Break-before-make timing is preserved, and no additional external components are needed to maintain protection integrity in demux configuration.
How does on-resistance variation affect precision measurements, and what is the matching spec between channels?
The MAX354EWE guarantees ≤350Ω max on-resistance at +25°C and ≤450Ω over −40°C to +85°C. Channel-to-channel RON matching is specified as ∆RON ≤15Ω (max), meaning the difference between highest and lowest RON across all eight channels stays within 15Ω. This tight matching minimizes gain error skew in multi-channel instrumentation amplifiers and ensures consistent time constants when driving capacitive loads like ADC input networks.
Can the MAX354EWE operate from a single +12V supply, and what analog signal range is supported?
Yes, the MAX354EWE operates from a single +12V supply with V− tied to GND. In this configuration, the analog signal range is limited to approximately 0V to +10.5V (V+ −1.5V), as the output clamps 1.5V below V+. Input signals beyond this range will cause the on-resistance to rise sharply and limit current, preserving protection-but usable linear range remains 0V to +10.5V. The device draws <1.5mW total quiescent power in this mode.
Is the MAX354EWE pin-compatible with the MAX354CWE, and what is the key functional difference?
Yes, the MAX354EWE is pin-compatible and footprint-compatible with the MAX354CWE. The sole functional difference is temperature rating: MAX354CWE is specified for 0°C to +70°C operation, while MAX354EWE extends to −40°C to +85°C. All electrical parameters-including on-resistance, leakage, fault protection, and switching times-are identical across both versions at their respective temperature ranges. No design changes are required when upgrading from C-grade to E-grade.
