Product details
Overview
MAX361EPE from Maxim Integrated is a precision quad SPST analog switch with normally closed (NC) configuration, designed for high-fidelity signal routing in rail-to-rail analog paths. It delivers <85Ω on-resistance (max), <3Ω channel-to-channel match, <9Ω on-resistance flatness over signal range, <500pA leakage at +25°C, and sub-250ns turn-on time - enabling accurate sample-and-hold and guidance system signal switching.
For engineers reviewing the MAX361EPE datasheet, MAX361EPE pinout, MAX361EPE application, or MAX361EPE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed bipolar supply operation (±4.5V to ±20V), ESD >2000V, 16-pin plastic DIP package, -40°C to +85°C temperature rating, and low charge injection (<10pC) critical for precision data acquisition.
Technical Context
The MAX361EPE implements four independent SPST switches fabricated in Maxim's 44V silicon-gate process, supporting both single-supply (+10V to +30V) and split-supply (±4.5V to ±20V) operation while maintaining CMOS/TTL logic compatibility. Its architecture guarantees matched on-resistance and flat RON only under bipolar conditions, with rail-to-rail analog signal handling enabled by 44V breakdown voltage.
Switching behavior is defined by inverted logic control: logic low enables conduction for the MAX361EPE's NC topology. Charge injection is tightly controlled (<10pC typ) via process optimization, and off-isolation exceeds 60dB at 1MHz - essential for minimizing crosstalk in multi-channel test equipment and communications systems.
Key Specifications

| ESD rating | >2000V per Method 3015.7; enhances robustness in handling and PCB assembly environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX361EPE is housed in a 16-pin plastic DIP package (0.300" wide), rated for -40°C to +85°C operation. Pin 1 is IN1; pin 2 is COM1; pin 3 is NC1; pin 4 is V−; pin 5 is GND; pin 6 is IN4; pin 7 is IN3; pin 8 is COM3; pin 9 is NC3; pin 10 is N.C.; pin 11 is V+; pin 12 is NC2; pin 13 is COM2; pin 14 is IN2; pin 15 is COM4; pin 16 is NC4.

| COM1–COM4 (pins 2,13,8,15) | Analog-switch common terminal | Drain-side connection point; carries full analog signal current up to 30mA continuous |
| NC1–NC4 (pins 3,12,9,4) | Analog-switch normally closed terminal | Direct path to COM when IN = low; open circuit when IN = high; no internal connection to substrate |
| V+ (pin 11) | Positive supply voltage input | Connected to substrate; sets upper analog rail; max 44V relative to V− |
| V− (pin 4) | Negative supply voltage input | Sets lower analog rail; must be ≤ V+ − 44V; supports bipolar or unipolar configurations |
| GND (pin 5) | Ground reference | Logic ground reference; separate from analog power grounds in mixed-signal layouts |
| N.C. (pin 10) | No connection | Not internally connected; must remain floating or tied to ground per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports signals from V− to V+ (e.g., ±15V), eliminating level-shifting in wide-dynamic-range systems |
| Guaranteed on-resistance flatness | ∆9Ω max over full analog range ensures linear gain response in instrumentation amplifier front-ends |
| Low charge injection | <10pC minimizes hold-step error in precision sample-and-hold circuits using ≥1nF capacitors |
| Bipolar/unipolar supply flexibility | Operates from ±4.5V to ±20V or +10V to +30V - simplifies power architecture in mixed-voltage systems |
| ESD-hardened design | >2000V HBM rating reduces risk of field failure during handling or system integration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX362EPE | Same package, temp grade, and specs but normally open (NO) topology instead of NC | Requires active logic high to enable conduction; unsuitable where default-closed path is safety-critical | Select MAX362EPE only when system-level fault tolerance requires open-default behavior |
| ADG441BRZ | Quad SPST NO switch; 40Ω max RON, 125°C rating, SOIC-16; lacks guaranteed RON match <3Ω | Better RON but no channel matching spec; higher leakage (20nA @ +85°C) limits use in ultra-low-drift designs | Prefer ADG441BRZ for cost-sensitive industrial controls where matching and leakage are non-critical |
Compared with MAX361EPE, MAX362EPE provides identical performance in a complementary logic configuration, while ADG441BRZ trades guaranteed matching and low leakage for wider temperature range and marginally lower on-resistance - making each suitable for distinct reliability and safety requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX361EPE?
The MAX361EPE supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V− to V+, with absolute maximum ratings allowing V+ up to 44V above V−. Under ±15V dual-supply operation, the analog signal range spans ±15V; under +12V single-supply operation, it covers 0V to +12V. This capability is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics tables for both dual- and single-supply configurations in the official datasheet.
Does the MAX361EPE require power-supply sequencing, and what happens if it's not followed?
Yes, proper sequencing is recommended: V+ must be applied first, then V−, then logic inputs. Violating this sequence risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings, potentially causing permanent damage. If sequencing isn't feasible, two series diodes can be added to V+ and V− pins for overvoltage protection - reducing analog range by 1V but preserving all key parameters including RON and leakage of the MAX361EPE.
Is the MAX361EPE pin-compatible with the MAX362EPE?
Yes, the MAX361EPE and MAX362EPE share identical pinouts, package (16-pin plastic DIP), temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and electrical specifications - differing only in switch topology (NC vs. NO). This allows direct substitution in existing layouts when logic polarity and default state requirements align with the MAX361EPE's normally closed behavior.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance matching specification for the MAX361EPE at full temperature range?
The MAX361EPE guarantees on-resistance matching of ≤4Ω between channels across its full operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C under bipolar supply conditions. At +25°C, the match is tighter: ≤2Ω. These values are explicitly specified in the "Electrical Characteristics-Dual Supplies" table and apply only when V+ and V− are used - not under single-supply operation.
Can the MAX361EPE operate from an unbalanced supply such as +24V and −5V?
Yes, the MAX361EPE supports unbalanced supplies as long as the difference between V+ and V− does not exceed +44V and both remain within their absolute maximum ratings. For example, +24V and −5V yields a 29V differential - well within limit. The analog signal range becomes −5V to +24V, and performance parameters (RON, leakage, switching time) remain valid per datasheet conditions.
