Product details
Overview
The MAX354EWE+T 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 guaranteed 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+T datasheet, MAX354EWE+T pinout, MAX354EWE+T application, or MAX354EWE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include fault-protection voltage margin, on-resistance matching across channels, leakage performance over temperature, and compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic without pull-ups in harsh environments.
Technical Context
The MAX354EWE+T implements a series N-channel/P-channel/N-channel FET structure that actively limits fault current to sub-microamp levels during overvoltage events-even with supplies off. Its analog signal range is limited to ±13.5V with ±15V supplies due to internal threshold-dependent FET turn-off.
Digital inputs use fixed 0.8V/2.4V logic thresholds referenced to GND, ensuring robust TTL/CMOS compatibility across supply voltages. Break-before-make timing is guaranteed at ≥100ns, and enable-controlled switching supports demultiplexing with full fault protection retained.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance | 350Ω max - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision analog paths |
| Fault Protection | ±40V with supplies off - enables safe connection to unpowered or floating external sensors/actuators |
| Input Leakage | <0.5nA at +25°C - preserves high-impedance sensor node integrity and low-offset measurement accuracy |
| Logic Thresholds | 0.8V low / 2.4V high - eliminates need for pull-up resistors when interfacing with standard microcontrollers |
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±18V dual or +4.5V to +36V single - supports wide industrial rail configurations including asymmetric supplies |
| Break-Before-Make | ≥100ns guaranteed - prevents momentary shorting between analog input channels during switching |
| Charge Injection | 15–180pC depending on supply/analog voltage - defines settling time impact on downstream sample-and-hold circuits |
Pinout & Package
MAX354EWE+T is housed in a 16-pin wide SO (SOIC-W) package with 0.3-inch body width and standard 1.27mm pitch. Pin 1 is A1 (MSB address), pin 8 is COM (common analog terminal), and pin 16 is A2 (LSB address). All pins are electrically defined per Maxim's official pin description table.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0, A1, A2 | Address Inputs | Select one of eight analog channels (A2 = LSB); logic thresholds fixed at 0.8V/2.4V independent of supply |
| EN | Enable Input | Active-high control: disables all switches when low; same logic thresholds as address pins |
| COM | Common Analog Terminal | Bidirectional path shared across all channels; must be connected to system reference point |
| NO1–NO8 | Normal Analog Terminals | Eight bidirectional analog I/Os; interchangeable with COM when used as demultiplexer |
| V+, V- | Power Supply Rails | Support dual ±4.5V to ±18V or single +4.5V to +36V operation; V- tied to GND for single-supply use |
| GND | Ground Reference | Logic threshold reference and substrate tie; forms isolation barrier between digital and analog sections |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fault-current limiting architecture | Sub-microamp leakage during ±40V overvoltage - avoids fuse blowing or PCB trace damage in field faults |
| Output clamping behavior | Clamps to V+ −1.5V / V− +1.5V during overvoltage - preserves polarity and prevents downstream component breakdown |
| No power-up sequencing required | Safe operation regardless of V+/V-/logic ramp order - simplifies system power management design |
| All-switches-off with supplies off | Zero conduction path when unpowered - eliminates backfeeding into dead subsystems |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | 0.8V/2.4V thresholds with <1µA input current - direct interface to FPGA GPIO, MCU ports, and ASIC drivers |

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 output clamping | Suitable for lower-voltage industrial systems where ±20V transients suffice and leakage tolerance >1nA | Choose ADG508F only if system-level fault voltage is confirmed ≤±20V and 100mΩ higher RON is acceptable |
| MAX358 | Same fault architecture but dual 4-channel configuration; shares identical 350Ω RON and leakage specs | Preferred when two independent 4-channel banks are needed instead of one 8-channel bank | Select MAX358 when board layout benefits from split channel grouping or when redundancy requires isolated banks |
Compared with ADG508F and MAX358, the MAX354EWE+T delivers superior ±40V fault margin and tighter on-resistance matching, making it optimal for avionics and high-energy industrial systems where absolute fault survivability is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum overvoltage the MAX354EWE+T can withstand with power supplies turned off?
The MAX354EWE+T withstands continuous ±40V overvoltage on any analog terminal with V+ and V- disconnected or at 0V. This is achieved via its series FET structure, which blocks current flow using gate-source voltage biasing-ensuring no conduction path exists even when external signals exceed normal supply rails by 40V. This capability is fully specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and verified across the -40°C to +85°C operating range.
Does the MAX354EWE+T support demultiplexing operation, and how does fault protection behave in that mode?
Yes, the MAX354EWE+T supports demultiplexing: apply the signal to COM and route it to NO1–NO8. Fault protection remains fully active-overvoltage on any NO pin is clamped and current-limited identically to multiplexing mode. The series FET architecture ensures bidirectional protection regardless of signal direction, and break-before-make timing is preserved. This capability is explicitly validated in the "Operation as a Demultiplexer" section of the datasheet.
How does the on-resistance of the MAX354EWE+T vary with analog signal voltage and temperature?
The MAX354EWE+T exhibits 350Ω max on-resistance at +25°C with ±10V analog signals and ±15V supplies. RON increases near supply rails due to FET threshold effects-e.g., rising to ~700Ω at ±13.5V. Over temperature, RON rises ~0.1%/°C; at +85°C it reaches ~420Ω. These variations are plotted in Figures 1a, 1b, and 2 of the datasheet and directly impact gain accuracy and channel-to-channel matching in precision applications.
Can the MAX354EWE+T operate from an asymmetric supply, such as +15V and -5V?
Yes, the MAX354EWE+T supports asymmetric supplies. With +15V/V- = -5V, the analog signal range becomes approximately -3.5V to +13.5V (clamped 1.5V below V+ and ~3V above V-). Digital thresholds remain stable at 0.8V/2.4V relative to GND. The device is tested and guaranteed for operation across ±4.5V to ±18V differential supply, making +15V/-5V well within specification and commonly used in motor control feedback systems.
Is the MAX354EWE+T pin-compatible with the MAX354CWE or MAX354EPE variants?
Yes, the MAX354EWE+T shares identical pinout and footprint with MAX354CWE (0°C to +70°C) and MAX354EPE (-40°C to +85°C) in the same 16-pin wide SO package. All three variants use the same die and bonding layout-only temperature grade and packaging differ. This allows drop-in replacement across commercial, extended, and military-grade versions without PCB redesign, provided thermal and reliability requirements align with the selected grade.
