Product details
Overview
MAX385ESE+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision dual-pole single-throw (DPST) analog switch with normally open configuration, designed for low-voltage signal routing in precision instrumentation and battery-powered systems. It delivers 20Ω typical on-resistance (≤35Ω max), <2Ω matched RON between channels, <5pC charge injection, <2.5nA off-leakage at +85°C, and operates from ±3V to ±8V dual supplies or +3V to +15V single supply.
For engineers reviewing the MAX385ESE+T datasheet, MAX385ESE+T pinout, MAX385ESE+T application, or MAX385ESE+T equivalent, this page provides verified electrical behavior, package-specific terminal mapping, real-world use cases in military radios and test equipment, and validated alternative options for signal-path redesign.
Technical Context
The MAX385ESE+T implements a monolithic silicon-gate CMOS architecture optimized for rail-to-rail analog signal handling across its full ±8V dual-supply or +15V single-supply range. Its internal switch topology guarantees flat on-resistance (<4Ω variation) over the entire analog input span and maintains sub-100ns turn-off timing even under worst-case temperature and voltage conditions.
Logic inputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible with 3V, 5V, ±3V, and ±5V logic families, enabling direct interfacing with microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting. Charge injection is tightly controlled (<5pC) to minimize transient errors in sample-and-hold and multiplexed ADC front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance | 20Ω typical (≤35Ω max) - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor interfaces |
| RON match | <2Ω between channels - enables accurate differential signal switching without channel-to-channel gain mismatch |
| Charge injection | <5pC - reduces settling error and droop in sample-and-hold circuits and data acquisition systems |
| Off-leakage current | <2.5nA at +85°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor nodes and battery-monitoring paths |
| Turn-off time | <100ns - supports fast multiplexing in automated test equipment and real-time signal routing |
| Analog signal range | V− to V+ - allows rail-to-rail AC/DC signal switching without clipping in ±5V or +12V systems |
| Supply range | +3V to +15V single or ±3V to ±8V dual - accommodates legacy industrial rails and modern low-power designs |
Pinout & Package
MAX385ESE+T is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (small-outline) package with 1.27mm lead pitch, rated for −40°C to +85°C operation. The package meets JEDEC MS-012 standards and is RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 6, 8 | COM₁, COM₂, COM₃, COM₄ | Four independent analog common terminals - each connects to one DPST switch pair |
| 2, 7, 12 | N.C. | No internal connection - floating pins requiring no PCB routing or termination |
| 4, 5, 9, 16 | NO₁, NO₂, NO₃, NO₄ | Normally open analog outputs - conduct only when corresponding IN pin is asserted |
| 10, 15 | IN₁, IN₂ | Digital control inputs - IN₁ controls COM₁/COM₃ and NO₁/NO₃; IN₂ controls COM₂/COM₄ and NO₂/NO₄ |
| 11 | V+ | Positive analog and logic supply - must be powered before V− and logic signals per sequencing guidelines |
| 14 | V− | Negative analog supply - required for bipolar operation; tied to GND for single-supply use |
| 13 | GND | Logic ground reference - serves as return path for digital inputs and bias networks |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog inputs spanning full V− to V+ range - eliminates external clamping diodes in ±5V systems |
| Guaranteed RON flatness | <4Ω variation over specified signal range - ensures consistent gain and linearity across input voltage swing |
| Low power consumption | <10µW quiescent - extends battery life in portable test gear and handheld military radios |
| CMOS/TTL logic compatibility | Operates with 3V, 5V, ±3V, ±5V logic - simplifies interface to mixed-voltage FPGA I/O banks and MCU GPIOs |
| Pin compatibility | Drop-in replacement for DG401/DG403/DG405 - enables legacy design refresh without layout changes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1414BRUZ | 4-channel SPST, 1.8Ω RON, ±15V rating, higher supply current (25µA) | Better RON and voltage range but lacks DPST topology and matched channel pairing | Select when ultra-low on-resistance and extended voltage headroom outweigh need for integrated dual-pole control |
| TS5A23157DRCR | Single-supply only (+1.65V to +5.5V), 0.9Ω RON, 350ps tON, no dual-supply support | Optimized for portable USB-powered devices; incompatible with bipolar or >5.5V systems | Choose for cost-sensitive, single-rail consumer electronics where ±3V operation is unnecessary |
Compared with ADG1414BRUZ and TS5A23157DRCR, the MAX385ESE+T uniquely combines DPST topology, guaranteed RON matching, dual-supply flexibility, and military-grade leakage performance-making it irreplaceable in precision, wide-rail, and thermally demanding analog routing tasks.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage difference for MAX385ESE+T?
The MAX385ESE+T specifies an absolute maximum V+ to V− differential of 17V. This limit applies regardless of individual rail voltages-for example, +15V/V− = −2V (17V total) is acceptable, but +12V/V− = −6V (18V) exceeds rating and risks permanent damage. Always observe proper power sequencing: V+ first, then V−, then logic inputs.
Does MAX385ESE+T support single-supply operation with a 3.3V rail?
Yes, MAX385ESE+T fully supports +3.3V single-supply operation. At V+ = 3.3V and V− = 0V, it maintains rail-to-rail analog switching (0V to 3.3V), 75Ω typical on-resistance, <0.2nA off-leakage at +25°C, and remains compatible with 3V logic inputs. Performance metrics degrade predictably per the +3.3V electrical characteristics table in the datasheet.
How many independent switches does MAX385ESE+T contain?
The MAX385ESE+T contains four independent single-pole single-throw (SPST) switches configured as two DPST sections: IN₁ controls COM₁/NO₁ and COM₃/NO₃; IN₂ controls COM₂/NO₂ and COM₄/NO₄. Each COM/NO pair functions as a discrete switch with no internal cross-connection between poles.
Is MAX385ESE+T pin-compatible with the DG405 analog switch?
Yes, MAX385ESE+T is explicitly pin-compatible with the DG405 per manufacturer documentation. Both devices share identical 16-pin narrow SO footprints, pin assignments (including COM/NO/IN/V+/V−/GND/N.C. mapping), and functional logic polarity. No PCB redesign is needed when substituting MAX385ESE+T into existing DG405 layouts.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance flatness specification for MAX385ESE+T?
The MAX385ESE+T guarantees on-resistance flatness of ≤4Ω maximum variation over its specified analog signal range (V− to V+). This means the difference between highest and lowest measured RON across the full input voltage span-under defined dual-supply conditions-is bounded at 4Ω, ensuring predictable gain stability in precision amplification and filtering paths.
