Product details
Overview
MAX379CWG+TG035 from Maxim Integrated is a 4-channel differential (2-of-8) fault-protected analog multiplexer with ±60V continuous input tolerance under ±15V supplies, series N/P/N FET protection architecture, <2mW power dissipation, and break-before-make switching. It serves as a high-reliability signal routing device in industrial data acquisition front ends where sensor overvoltage and power-loss scenarios are common.
For engineers reviewing the MAX379CWG+TG035 datasheet, MAX379CWG+TG035 pinout, MAX379CWG+TG035 application, or MAX379CWG+TG035 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated package mapping to 24-pin Wide SO, confirmed differential channel operation, real-world fault-protection behavior under power-off conditions, and two technically documented alternative parts for design continuity.
Technical Context
The MAX379CWG+TG035 implements a three-FET series structure (N–P–N) per channel that actively blocks fault currents at nanoamp levels when V+ or V− is absent, unlike first-generation current-limited muxes. Its digital interface accepts TTL/CMOS logic thresholds (0.8V/2.4V) without pull-ups and guarantees break-before-make timing of 25–200ns.
Under ±15V supplies, it supports ±60V continuous analog input on enabled or disabled channels, limits ON-resistance to 2.0–3.5kΩ across ±10V input range, and maintains sub-50nA OFF-state leakage even at ±60V overvoltage - all while operating from ±4.5V to ±18V supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Configuration | 4-channel differential (2-of-8), dual-output (OUTA/OUTB) |
| Fault Protection | ±75V input with supplies off; ±60V continuous with ±15V supplies |
| ON Resistance | 2.0–3.5kΩ @ ±10V input, +25°C - defines voltage error in precision signal paths |
| Leakage Current | <50nA OFF-state at ±60V - prevents loading of high-Z sensors or reference sources |
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±18V - enables operation from single +9V to +22V or asymmetrical rails like +15V/−5V |
| Switching Speed | tA = 0.5–1.0μs; tON–tOFF = 25–200ns - ensures clean channel isolation during reconfiguration |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS inputs (0.8V/2.4V thresholds) - eliminates need for level-shifting or pull-up resistors |
Pinout & Package
MAX379CWG+TG035 is housed in a 24-pin Wide SO (Small Outline) package, 0.300-inch body width, with gull-wing leads and standard JEDEC MO-153 footprint. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner; substrate may float or connect to V+ per JI CMOS configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | IN1A, IN2A, IN3A, IN4A, IN1B, IN2B, IN3B, IN4B | Differential input pairs - each A/B pair routed independently to OUTA/OUTB |
| 9, 10 | OUTA, OUTB | Differential outputs - support balanced signal routing and noise rejection |
| 11 | EN | Active-high enable - disables all channels when low; TTL/CMOS compatible |
| 12, 13 | A0, A1 | Binary address inputs - select one of four differential channels (00–11) |
| 14 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - forms isolation barrier between digital and analog sections |
| 15, 16 | V+, V− | Split analog supply rails - define output swing limits and fault-protection thresholds |
| 17–24 | N.C. | No-connect pins - electrically isolated; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fault-protected architecture | Series N–P–N FET structure limits input fault current to <100nA even at ±75V with supplies off |
| Dual differential outputs | Independent OUTA/OUTB pins enable true differential signal routing without external inversion |
| Power-loss safety | All channels auto-disable when V+/V− are removed - prevents back-driving and sensor damage |
| Overvoltage shutdown | ON channel turns OFF if input exceeds +13.5V or −12V - clamps output to safe range |
| Low charge injection | <5pC differential charge injection - minimizes transient errors in precision sampling systems |
Applications
| Industrial Data Acquisition | Avionics Test Equipment |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Multiplexing thermocouple, strain gauge, and 4–20mA loop signals into a shared ADC front end under noisy, high-voltage field conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fault-protected differential signal router with break-before-make switching and ±60V input tolerance.

Use Scenario: Interfacing legacy analog instrumentation (e.g., oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers) with modern digital controllers via shared signal busses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional differential demultiplexer supporting both mux and demux modes with full fault coverage. Use Value: Enables reverse signal flow (OUT → IN) without compromising ±60V protection - simplifies test fixture reconfiguration. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX379EWG | Same die, −40°C to +85°C extended temp range; identical pinout and electrical specs | Required for industrial environments with wider thermal cycling or outdoor deployment | Select MAX379EWG when operating outside 0°C–70°C ambient or requiring AEC-Q200-aligned qualification evidence |
| ADG508FBRZ | 8-channel single-ended, ±40V fault protection, higher RDS(ON) (450Ω typ), no differential outputs | Suitable only for non-differential, lower-voltage (<±40V), higher-bandwidth (120MHz) applications | Choose ADG508FBRZ only if differential routing is unnecessary and system tolerates reduced fault margin and higher on-resistance error |
Compared with MAX379CWG+TG035, MAX379EWG offers identical functionality with extended temperature rating, while ADG508FBRZ trades differential capability and ±60V protection for higher speed and single-ended simplicity - neither is pin-compatible, but both serve overlapping signal-routing roles in fault-aware designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous input voltage the MAX379CWG+TG035 supports with power supplies active?
The MAX379CWG+TG035 supports ±60V continuous analog input voltage when powered by ±15V supplies. This rating is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and applies to both enabled and disabled channels. The device uses its series N–P–N FET structure to clamp conduction and limit leakage to under 50nA, preventing damage to downstream circuitry or connected sensors.
Does the MAX379CWG+TG035 support differential signal routing, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX379CWG+TG035 natively supports differential routing via dedicated INxA/INxB input pairs and separate OUTA/OUTB outputs. Each of its four channels consists of matched A/B paths, enabling true differential signal selection without external inversion or passive components. This architecture preserves common-mode rejection and reduces noise susceptibility in high-precision measurement systems.
What happens to the MAX379CWG+TG035 channels when V+ and V− supplies are removed?
When V+ and V− are turned off, all channels of the MAX379CWG+TG035 automatically disable, drawing less than 100nA total input leakage current even at ±75V applied input. This behavior protects upstream sensors and downstream circuitry by maintaining high-impedance isolation - a core feature of its fault-protection architecture not found in standard analog switches.
Can the MAX379CWG+TG035 operate from a single supply, and what are the constraints?
Yes, the MAX379CWG+TG035 can operate from a single +9V to +22V supply by connecting V− to GND. In this mode, the output swing is limited to approximately +3.5V below V+ and 0V (GND), and digital thresholds remain centered near 1.6V. Full fault protection remains active, but the ±60V continuous rating applies only when using split supplies; single-supply fault margin is reduced per internal gate biasing.
Is the MAX379CWG+TG035 pin-compatible with other packages in the MAX379 family?
No - the MAX379CWG+TG035 uses a 24-pin Wide SO package, while MAX379CPE and MAX379CJE use 16-pin DIP and CERDIP packages respectively. Pin counts, layouts, and thermal characteristics differ significantly; PCB layout and thermal management must be redesigned for package substitution. Only MAX379EWG shares identical 24-pin Wide SO packaging and pinout.
