Product details
Overview
MAX364EPE 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, <2Ω channel-to-channel matching, <10pC charge injection, <4nA off-leakage at +85°C, and operates from ±4.5V to ±20V bipolar or +10V to +30V single supply-enabling use in sample-and-hold circuits and military radios.
For engineers reviewing the MAX364EPE datasheet, MAX364EPE pinout, MAX364EPE application, or MAX364EPE equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal range (-40°C to +85°C), DIP-16 package details, real-world switching timing (tON < 250ns), and two validated alternative parts for design continuity.
Technical Context
The MAX364EPE implements four independent SPST switches using Maxim's 44V silicon-gate process, ensuring low distortion and minimal signal-dependent on-resistance variation (∆9Ω max). Its CMOS/TTL-compatible control inputs drive internal logic that directly gates each NC switch without level-shifting circuitry.
Bipolar-supply operation guarantees matched on-resistance (<2Ω) and flatness (∆9Ω) across the full analog signal range (±15V), while single-supply mode supports unipolar signals up to +24V with V− tied to GND and VL set to +5V for TTL compatibility.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (max) | 85Ω - ensures minimal voltage drop and power loss in precision analog paths |
| On-resistance match | <2Ω - enables accurate gain/offset matching in multi-channel instrumentation |
| Charge injection | <10pC - reduces sampling error in high-resolution data acquisition systems |
| Off-leakage current | <4nA at +85°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces |
| Supply range | ±4.5V to ±20V (bipolar) or +10V to +30V (single) - supports rail-to-rail analog signal handling |
| Switching speed | tON < 250ns, tOFF < 170ns - suitable for fast multiplexing in test equipment and comms systems |
| ESD rating | >2000V per Method 3015.7 - improves robustness during board assembly and field operation |
Pinout & Package
MAX364EPE is housed in a 16-pin plastic DIP package (0.300" wide), with through-hole mounting and industry-standard footprint. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; exposed pad is absent (unlike QFN variants).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8, 9, 16 | IN1–IN4 | CMOS/TTL-compatible digital control inputs; active-high logic drives NC closure |
| 2, 6, 11, 15 | COM1–COM4 | Analog common terminals - connected to load or signal source in each channel |
| 3, 14, 10, 7 | NC1–NC4 | Normally closed analog terminals - conduct to COM when IN = low; open when IN = high |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply rail input - must be ≥ VCOM/VNC − 2V per absolute max ratings |
| 5 | GND | Ground reference for logic and substrate - separate from analog return in mixed-signal layouts |
| 12 | VL | Logic supply input - set to +5V for TTL compatibility or tied to V+ for CMOS thresholds |
| 13 | V+ | Positive supply rail input - connected to substrate; max 44V breakdown enables wide dynamic range |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog handling | Supports signals from V− to V+ without clipping - critical for ±15V industrial sensor interfaces |
| Guaranteed on-resistance flatness | ∆9Ω max over full analog range - maintains linearity in audio and precision measurement paths |
| Low charge injection | <10pC - minimizes pedestal error in sample-and-hold and ADC front-end applications |
| Bipolar/unipolar supply flexibility | Operates from ±4.5V to ±20V or +10V to +30V - simplifies power architecture in legacy and new designs |
| ESD-hardened construction | >2000V HBM - reduces field failure risk in handheld and ruggedized military radio systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX364CPE | Same functionality and pinout, but rated for 0°C to +70°C only | Not suitable for extended temperature environments like automotive engine bays or outdoor base stations | Select MAX364CPE only if operating ambient stays within commercial temperature range |
| ADG1414BRUZ | Quad SPST, NC, 1.8Ω typical RON, but requires dual supply and lacks guaranteed flatness spec | Better RON but higher cost and no ∆9Ω flatness guarantee - less predictable in precision gain stages | Choose ADG1414BRUZ when ultra-low on-resistance is prioritized over guaranteed flatness and leakage specs |
Compared with MAX364CPE, the MAX364EPE adds industrial temperature support and identical performance; versus ADG1414BRUZ, it trades lower RON for stronger specifications on flatness, leakage, and ESD - making it preferable for military and high-reliability analog signal chains.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX364EPE?
The MAX364EPE supports analog signals from V− to V+, with absolute maximum ratings allowing V+ up to +44V and V− down to −44V relative to GND. In standard ±15V operation, the full analog range is ±15V; with ±20V supplies, it extends to ±20V. The device maintains rail-to-rail capability without signal clipping, provided terminal voltages stay within (V− − 2V) to (V+ + 2V) limits.
Does the MAX364EPE require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its logic inputs?
No, the MAX364EPE does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on IN1–IN4. Its CMOS/TTL-compatible inputs have specified VIH (≥2.4V) and VIL (≤0.8V) thresholds and draw less than ±0.5µA input current across temperature, enabling direct interfacing with microcontrollers and FPGAs without additional biasing components.
Can the MAX364EPE operate with a single +12V supply?
Yes, the MAX364EPE can operate with a single +12V supply: tie V− to GND, connect VL to +5V for TTL compatibility (or to +12V for CMOS levels), and route analog signals between 0V and +12V. The datasheet confirms operation from +10V to +24V single supply, with on-resistance and leakage fully characterized at +12V.
How does the MAX364EPE behave when power is removed?
When power is removed, all switches in the MAX364EPE open (i.e., NC paths disconnect). This fail-safe behavior prevents unintended signal conduction during power-up/down sequences. However, analog terminals (COM/NC) must never exceed V+ or V− voltage limits-even with power off-as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Is the MAX364EPE pin-compatible with the MAX365EPE?
No, the MAX364EPE is not pin-compatible with the MAX365EPE. Although both share the same 16-pin DIP package and pin assignments for power (V+, V−, GND, VL), control (IN1–IN4), and common terminals (COM1–COM4), their switched terminals differ: MAX364EPE uses NC1–NC4 (normally closed), while MAX365EPE uses NO1–NO4 (normally open). Swapping them without redesigning logic polarity will invert functional behavior.
