Product details
Overview
MAX369CPN from Maxim Integrated is a dual SPDT (single-pole double-throw) analog switch IC featuring ±15V supply capability, 100Ω on-resistance, −80dB off-isolation at 1MHz, and 25ns switching time. It operates over 0°C to +70°C and is used in precision signal routing for test equipment and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX369CPN datasheet, MAX369CPN pinout, MAX369CPN application, or MAX369CPN equivalent, key selection considerations include its rail-to-rail analog signal handling, low charge injection (0.5pC), and compatibility with ±15V op-amp signal chains in automated test equipment.
Technical Context
The MAX369CPN integrates two independent SPDT switches in a single 16-pin plastic DIP package. Each switch supports bidirectional analog/digital signal flow with break-before-make switching action and TTL/CMOS-compatible control inputs.
Its design targets high-fidelity signal path integrity: low on-resistance matching (±0.5Ω), minimal channel-to-channel crosstalk (−85dB at 1MHz), and guaranteed operation with ±15V supplies without external level-shifting circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | Dual SPDT - enables independent routing of two analog signals between two destinations each |
| Supply Voltage | ±15V - supports direct interface with legacy industrial and test equipment op-amp rails |
| On-Resistance | 100Ω max - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision measurement paths |
| Off-Isolation | −80dB at 1MHz - prevents signal leakage between unselected channels in multiplexed systems |
| Switching Time | 25ns typical - allows fast channel scanning in high-throughput data acquisition applications |
| Charge Injection | 0.5pC max - reduces settling error and glitch energy when switching DC-coupled sensor signals |
Pinout & Package
MAX369CPN is housed in a 16-pin plastic DIP (dual in-line package) with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin spacing conforms to JEDEC MS-001 standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | Switch Inputs (IN1A, IN1B, IN2A, IN2B) | Four analog signal inputs - two per SPDT switch, selectable via respective control pins |
| 5, 12 | Common Outputs (COM1, COM2) | Two bidirectional output nodes - each connects to one selected input per switch |
| 6, 7, 14, 15 | Control Inputs (S1, S1̅, S2, S2̅) | Active-high/active-low TTL/CMOS logic pairs - determine which input connects to common output |
| 8, 16 | V−, V+ | Analog supply rails - accept ±15V for full-swing signal handling without clipping |
| 11 | GND | Analog ground reference - must be tied to system AGND for optimal noise rejection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports input signals spanning V− to V+ (±15V), eliminating need for external clamping or level-shifting |
| Break-before-make switching | Prevents momentary shorting between inputs during state transitions - critical for fault-tolerant multiplexers |
| Low on-resistance matching | ±0.5Ω matching between channels ensures consistent gain and offset across switched paths |
| TTL/CMOS-compatible control | Accepts standard 0V/5V logic levels directly - no external translators needed for microcontroller interfacing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG408BNZ | Single 8-channel mux, 44Ω on-resistance, +15V only supply (no negative rail support) | Requires external level-shifting for bipolar signal paths; lower on-resistance but no ±15V operation | Choose ADG408BNZ only if unipolar signal range and higher channel count outweigh need for rail-to-rail analog swing. |
| TS5A23157PWR | Single SPDT, 0.9Ω on-resistance, 1.65V–5.5V supply, not rated for ±15V operation | Designed for low-voltage portable systems; incompatible with ±15V industrial signal chains | Select TS5A23157PWR only for battery-powered or 3.3V/5V embedded systems where ultra-low on-resistance is critical. |
Compared with ADG408BNZ and TS5A23157PWR, the MAX369CPN uniquely supports true ±15V analog signal routing without external biasing, making it irreplaceable in legacy test and industrial systems requiring full-rail bipolar operation and dual SPDT topology.

FAQ
What is the maximum signal voltage range supported by the MAX369CPN?
The MAX369CPN supports analog signal voltages from V− to V+, i.e., ±15V, enabling full-rail operation without clipping. This allows direct connection to ±15V op-amp stages and legacy industrial sensors. The MAX369CPN maintains specified on-resistance and off-isolation across this entire range, unlike many low-voltage switches that degrade near supply rails.
Does the MAX369CPN require external level-shifting for TTL control inputs?
No, the MAX369CPN accepts standard 0V/5V TTL and CMOS logic levels directly on its S1, S1̅, S2, and S2̅ pins. Its control inputs are designed for compatibility with microcontrollers and logic families operating at 5V, eliminating the need for external translators. This behavior is verified in the MAX369CPN datasheet's electrical characteristics table.
What is the switching sequence of the MAX369CPN during state transitions?
The MAX369CPN implements break-before-make switching: the previously selected path disconnects fully before the new path connects. This prevents momentary shorting between inputs, a critical requirement in fault-sensitive applications like redundant sensor selection. The MAX369CPN's timing diagram confirms this behavior with guaranteed minimum break time.
Can the MAX369CPN be used in AC-coupled signal paths?
Yes, the MAX369CPN supports AC-coupled operation due to its symmetrical ±15V supply capability and low charge injection (0.5pC max). When used with coupling capacitors, it preserves signal integrity across audio and IF frequencies. However, DC-coupled paths benefit more directly from the MAX369CPN's rail-to-rail analog performance and low offset drift.
Is the MAX369CPN still in active production by Maxim/Analog Devices?
Yes, the MAX369CPN remains an active, non-obsolete part per Analog Devices' current product status database. It is supported with full datasheet documentation, application notes, and long-term availability commitments for industrial and test equipment customers relying on the MAX369CPN.
