Product details
Overview
MAX391EUE+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision quad SPST analog switch IC designed for low-leakage, low-charge-injection signal routing in ±5V dual-supply or +5V single-supply systems. It features 100Ω on-resistance (typ), <1pC charge injection, ±10nA max off-leakage at +25°C, and operates across –40°C to +85°C. It is used in data acquisition front-ends, precision instrumentation multiplexing, and automatic test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX391EUE+T datasheet, MAX391EUE+T pinout, MAX391EUE+T application, or MAX391EUE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON flatness over signal range, sub-pC charge injection for minimal settling error, rail-to-rail analog signal handling, and compatibility with both dual- and single-supply configurations.
Technical Context
The MAX391EUE+T implements four independent, normally-open analog switches using enhanced CMOS process technology optimized for low distortion and high channel-to-channel isolation (>70dB at 1MHz). Its control logic accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs referenced to V+, enabling direct interfacing with microcontrollers without level-shifting.
Switch operation is fully specified over ±5V dual supplies (V+ = +5V, V– = –5V) and +5V single supply (V– = 0V), with guaranteed performance across the full analog input range (VCOM = ±4.5V or 0V to +4.5V). Leakage and RON are characterized from –55°C to +125°C per MIL-STD-883 methods.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RON (max) | 120Ω - Ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision gain-setting or sensor interface paths. |
| Charge injection | <1pC - Limits voltage glitch and settling time in sample-and-hold or ADC input stages. |
| Off-leakage current | ±10nA (max at +25°C) - Preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor or reference voltage routing. |
| On-leakage current | ±1nA (max at +25°C) - Maintains signal integrity in low-current measurement circuits. |
| Supply current | 10μA (max) - Enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-powered instrumentation. |
| Bandwidth | 30MHz - Supports fast-switching applications such as video signal routing or pulse modulation. |
| Channel isolation | 70dB @ 1MHz - Prevents crosstalk between adjacent channels in multi-channel data loggers. |
Pinout & Package
MAX391EUE+T is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65mm pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, footprint compatible with industry-standard 16-TSSOP layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5, 9, 13 | NO (Normally Open) | Switch output terminals; open when IN = low, connect to COM when IN = high. |
| 2, 6, 10, 14 | COM | Common analog signal path; bidirectional, supports rail-to-rail voltage swing. |
| 3, 7, 11, 15 | IN | Digital control inputs; TTL/CMOS-compatible, referenced to V+. |
| 4 | V+ | Positive supply rail; supports +3V to +15V (single) or ±3V to ±8V (dual). |
| 12 | V– | Negative supply rail; required for dual-supply operation (0V to –15V). |
| 8, 16 | GND | Analog ground reference; separate pins minimize ground bounce in multi-channel switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RON flatness | ±5Ω over ±4.5V signal range - maintains consistent gain and linearity in programmable-gain amplifier paths. |
| Guaranteed RON matching | ≤3Ω between channels - enables precise differential signal routing without calibration. |
| Break-before-make timing | Guaranteed - prevents momentary shorting during channel switching in multiplexer applications. |
| ESD protection | ±2kV HBM - ensures robustness during board handling and system integration. |
| Specified over temperature | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial-grade reliability without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1412BRUZ | Higher RON (1.8Ω typ), lower leakage (±1pA), requires external VLOGIC reference. | Better suited for femtoampere-level current measurement; less tolerant of supply noise due to sensitive logic interface. | Select ADG1412BRUZ only when sub-pA leakage is mandatory and supply rail noise is tightly controlled. |
| TS5A23159DCUR | Lower RON (0.9Ω typ), single 1.65–5.5V supply only, no dual-supply support. | Optimized for low-voltage portable systems; cannot replace MAX391EUE+T in ±5V or rail-swing >VCC applications. | Choose TS5A23159DCUR for cost-sensitive, battery-powered designs where dual-supply operation is unnecessary. |
Compared with ADG1412BRUZ and TS5A23159DCUR, the MAX391EUE+T uniquely balances ultra-low charge injection (<1pC), dual/single-supply flexibility, and industrial temperature range-making it optimal for precision instrumentation requiring signal integrity across wide voltage and thermal conditions.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX391EUE+T?
The MAX391EUE+T supports a maximum total supply voltage (V+ to V–) of 16V. In dual-supply mode, this allows operation up to ±8V; in single-supply mode, V+ may be as high as +15V with V– = 0V. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage. Always refer to Absolute Maximum Ratings in the official MAX391 datasheet Rev 3.1 for derating curves and thermal considerations specific to the MAX391EUE+T.
Does MAX391EUE+T support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, the MAX391EUE+T supports true rail-to-rail analog signal switching. When powered with ±5V supplies, it handles input signals from –4.5V to +4.5V; with +5V single supply, it passes signals from 0V to +4.5V. This capability is guaranteed by design and verified across temperature, making the MAX391EUE+T suitable for applications like audio routing and sensor signal conditioning where full dynamic range utilization is critical.
How does charge injection of MAX391EUE+T impact ADC sampling accuracy?
The MAX391EUE+T's typical charge injection of <1pC introduces a voltage step on the ADC sample capacitor (e.g., 10pF) of <0.1mV, enabling sub-LSB settling in 16-bit systems. This low value minimizes acquisition time and reduces need for post-switching delay, directly improving throughput in multi-channel data loggers using the MAX391EUE+T as the front-end multiplexer.
Can MAX391EUE+T be used with 3.3V logic control signals?
Yes, MAX391EUE+T control inputs (IN pins) are TTL/CMOS-compatible and referenced to V+, so they accept 3.3V logic high when V+ = +3.3V or higher. For reliable operation with 3.3V microcontrollers, tie V+ to +3.3V and use single-supply configuration (V– = 0V); the MAX391EUE+T will then route analog signals from 0V to ~2.8V. Do not apply 3.3V logic to IN while V+ = +5V unless level-shifted, as that violates input voltage range specs.
Is thermal shutdown or overcurrent protection built into MAX391EUE+T?
No, the MAX391EUE+T does not include thermal shutdown or overcurrent protection circuitry. It is a passive analog switch IC relying on external design safeguards. Users must ensure continuous power dissipation remains below 470mW (at +70°C ambient, θJA = 110°C/W) and avoid sustained overvoltage or overcurrent conditions. System-level protection (e.g., series resistors, clamping diodes) is recommended when routing signals beyond absolute maximum ratings, especially in fault-prone environments where the MAX391EUE+T is deployed.
