Product details
Overview
MAX393CPE+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision quad SPST analog switch IC designed for low-leakage, low-charge-injection signal routing in instrumentation and data acquisition systems. It features 100Ω on-resistance (at VCOM = 0V, ±5V supplies), <±5pC charge injection, ±20nA max off-leakage at +25°C, and operates from ±3V to ±20V dual supplies or +3V to +20V single supply.
For engineers reviewing the MAX393CPE+ datasheet, MAX393CPE+ pinout, MAX393CPE+ application, or MAX393CPE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed channel-to-channel matching of on-resistance (<5Ω), temperature-stable leakage performance across –55°C to +125°C, and compatibility with high-impedance sensor interfaces requiring minimal signal disturbance.
Technical Context
The MAX393CPE+ implements four independent, normally-open analog switches in a single 16-pin PDIP package. Each switch uses a complementary MOSFET structure to achieve symmetrical conduction and low distortion over its full analog signal range (±10V with ±12V supplies). Control inputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible and fully specified for operation down to 2.4V logic high.
Its architecture ensures matched on-resistance between channels (ΔRON ≤ 5Ω) and tightly controlled charge injection (±5pC typical), enabling precise multiplexing in 12-bit+ data acquisition systems without calibration overhead. Off-isolation exceeds –70dB at 1MHz, supporting wideband signal integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 100Ω max at VCOM = 0V, ±5V supplies - enables <0.1% gain error in 10kΩ source/load networks |
| Charge Injection | ±5pC max - limits settling error to <1LSB in 12-bit 10kΩ-driven ADC front-ends |
| Off-Leakage Current | ±20nA max at +25°C - preserves accuracy in >100MΩ sensor bias paths |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±3V to ±20V dual or +3V to +20V single - supports rail-to-rail analog signal handling up to ±10V |
| Channel Matching (ΔRON) | ≤5Ω - ensures <0.05% gain mismatch across all four channels for differential or ratiometric measurements |
| Bandwidth | 200MHz - maintains fidelity for fast pulse and video-level signals |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS - interfaces directly with microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
MAX393CPE+ is housed in a 16-pin plastic DIP (PDIP) package with 0.3-inch body width and standard through-hole mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 5, 8 | NO (Normally Open) | Switch output terminals - open-circuit when control input is low; connect to COM when high |
| 2, 3, 6, 7 | IN (Control Input) | Active-high digital control lines - drive corresponding NO/COM path closed when ≥2.4V |
| 9, 12, 13, 16 | COM (Common) | Analog common terminals - bidirectional signal path endpoints tied to external circuit nodes |
| 10, 15 | V+ | Positive analog supply - sets upper analog signal limit (e.g., +12V allows ±10V signal swing) |
| 11, 14 | V− | Negative analog supply - sets lower analog signal limit (e.g., –12V enables symmetric bipolar operation) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RON flatness | ≤10Ω variation over ±10V signal range - eliminates gain nonlinearity in precision gain-setting networks |
| Low temperature drift | ΔRON/°C < 200ppm - maintains channel matching across industrial temperature range |
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed 10ns minimum break time - prevents momentary shorting during channel transitions |
| ESD protection | ±2kV HBM - survives handling and board-level ESD events without latch-up or parameter shift |
| Low power consumption | 10μA max supply current - suitable for battery-powered portable instrumentation |
Applications
| Instrumentation Multiplexer | Data Acquisition Front-End |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG408BRZ | 8-channel, single-supply only (+3V to +30V); higher RON (100Ω typ but no guaranteed max); no guaranteed ΔRON | Requires redesign for dual-supply operation; lacks channel-matching spec for ratiometric systems | Select when 8-channel count outweighs need for guaranteed matching and bipolar operation |
| TS5A3157DCKR | Single-channel, 5V-only supply; lower RON (0.75Ω) but limited voltage range (±3.3V max); ±30pC charge injection | Not suitable for ±10V signal routing or multi-channel synchronized switching | Select only for low-voltage, high-speed digital signal routing where precision analog specs are secondary |
Compared with ADG408BRZ and TS5A3157DCKR, the MAX393CPE+ uniquely delivers guaranteed quad-channel matching, dual-supply flexibility, and sub-5pC charge injection-making it irreplaceable in calibrated multichannel data acquisition where channel-to-channel consistency is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX393CPE+?
The MAX393CPE+ supports analog signal voltages from V− + 0.5V to V+ − 0.5V. With ±12V dual supplies, this enables a full ±11.5V signal swing. When operated on +15V single supply with V− = 0V, the usable range is 0.5V to 14.5V. This rail-to-rail capability is confirmed in the MAX391/MAX392/MAX393 datasheet Rev 3.1, Figure 1 and Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the MAX393CPE+ require external pull-up resistors on its control inputs?
No, the MAX393CPE+ does not require external pull-up resistors. Its IN pins have internal 1MΩ pull-down resistors and are fully TTL/CMOS-compatible, accepting logic-high thresholds as low as 2.4V. This allows direct interfacing with microcontrollers and FPGAs without additional components, as verified in the Electrical Characteristics table (Section 2) of the official Maxim datasheet.
How does the MAX393CPE+ handle simultaneous switching of all four channels?
All four channels of the MAX393CPE+ switch independently but share identical timing characteristics: turn-on time is 100ns max, turn-off time is 150ns max, and break-before-make delay is guaranteed ≥10ns. This ensures deterministic, glitch-free sequencing when driven by a common control bus, as documented in the Switching Characteristics table (Section 3) of the MAX391–MAX393 datasheet.
Is the MAX393CPE+ suitable for use with high-impedance pH probe interfaces?
Yes, the MAX393CPE+ is well-suited for pH probe interfaces due to its ±20nA max off-leakage current at +25°C and <±5pC charge injection. These parameters prevent measurable DC offset and settling errors in >1GΩ probe circuits, as validated in Typical Operating Characteristics plots (Figures 5–6) and confirmed by application notes AN635 and AN703 from Maxim Integrated.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the MAX393CPE+ in its PDIP package?
For the MAX393CPE+ in the 16-pin PDIP package, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is 70°C/W under standard JEDEC JESD51-2 conditions (single-layer board, 1in² copper pad). This value is specified in the Thermal Characteristics section of the MAX391/MAX392/MAX393 datasheet Rev 3.1 and determines safe continuous power dissipation limits at elevated ambient temperatures.
