Product details
Overview
MAX391CSE+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision quad SPST analog switch IC featuring 35Ω on-resistance (at ±5V supplies), 100pC charge injection, and ±15V analog signal range. It operates from dual ±3V to ±15V or single +3V to +12V supplies and is used in data acquisition systems for multiplexing low-distortion audio and sensor signals.
For engineers reviewing the MAX391CSE+T datasheet, MAX391CSE+T pinout, MAX391CSE+T application, or MAX391CSE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance flatness over signal range, leakage current below 1nA at +25°C, channel-to-channel crosstalk of –80dB at 1MHz, and operation across –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The MAX391CSE+T implements four independent single-pole single-throw (SPST) switches using enhancement-mode p-channel and n-channel MOSFETs in series. Its architecture ensures symmetrical on-resistance and minimal distortion across the full ±15V analog input range when powered by dual supplies.
Switch control is TTL/CMOS-compatible with logic thresholds referenced to V+ and V–, enabling direct interfacing with microcontrollers and FPGAs. The device guarantees break-before-make timing and supports both single-supply (V– = GND) and split-supply (V– < 0V) configurations without external level-shifting circuitry.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1412BRUZ | Lower RON (1.8Ω), higher supply current (220µA), requires external VDD/VSS decoupling | Better for low-RON precision DAC output buffering; less suitable for low-power battery operation | Select ADG1412BRUZ when RON < 2Ω is mandatory and supply current is not constrained |
| TS5A23157DRCR | Single-supply only (1.65V–5.5V), lower voltage rating (±5.5V), smaller 10-pin WSON package | Ideal for portable consumer electronics with 3.3V logic; unsuitable for ±12V industrial signal chains | Select TS5A23157DRCR for space-constrained, low-voltage portable designs requiring minimal footprint |

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX391CSE+T?
The MAX391CSE+T supports an analog signal range of ±15V when operated from dual ±15V supplies. With single-supply operation, it handles signals from 0V to V+, where V+ ranges from +3V to +12V. This wide range allows the MAX391CSE+T to interface directly with industrial sensors and legacy instrumentation without external level-shifting circuitry.
Does the MAX391CSE+T require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its control inputs?
No, the MAX391CSE+T does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its IN pins. Its control inputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible with thresholds referenced to V+ and V–, and internal circuitry ensures defined logic states across the full supply range. This eliminates external components and simplifies microcontroller interface design for the MAX391CSE+T.
Can the MAX391CSE+T be used in a single-supply configuration with V– tied to ground?
Yes, the MAX391CSE+T supports single-supply operation with V– connected to ground. In this mode, the analog signal range becomes 0V to V+, where V+ can be set from +3V to +12V. The device maintains specified RON, leakage, and switching performance, making the MAX391CSE+T suitable for battery-powered and 3.3V/5V embedded systems.
What is the typical charge injection value for the MAX391CSE+T, and why does it matter?
The MAX391CSE+T has a maximum charge injection of 100pC. This parameter determines the voltage glitch introduced at the COM node during switching, directly impacting settling time and accuracy in sample-and-hold circuits and ADC front-ends. Low charge injection ensures fast, precise sampling - a critical requirement for the MAX391CSE+T in high-resolution data acquisition systems.
Is the MAX391CSE+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX39x family?
Yes, the MAX391CSE+T is pin-compatible with the MAX392 (dual SPST) and MAX393 (quad SPDT) within the same SOIC-16 package. All share identical pinouts for COM, NO, IN, V+, V–, and GND, enabling drop-in replacement and flexible design reuse across different channel counts and switch topologies in the MAX39x family.
