Product details
Overview
The MAX394EAP+T from Analog Devices is a precision quad SPDT analog switch optimized for low-voltage, rail-to-rail signal routing in portable and industrial systems. It operates from ±2.7V to ±8V bipolar or +2.7V to +15V single supply, delivers <35Ω max on-resistance with <2Ω channel matching, and features 10pC max charge injection-enabling high-fidelity audio and test-signal switching in handheld instruments and communications equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX394EAP+T datasheet, MAX394EAP+T pinout, MAX394EAP+T application, or MAX394EAP+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance flatness (Δ4Ω max), break-before-make timing (10ns typ), ESD robustness (>2000V), and SSOP-20 compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic across extended temperature (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
This monolithic CMOS analog switch uses Maxim's low-voltage silicon-gate process to achieve sub-μA quiescent current (<1μA) and rail-to-rail analog signal handling (V– to V+). Its four independent SPDT switches integrate internal protection diodes and support both unipolar and bipolar operation without external level-shifting.
The device guarantees matched on-resistance between channels (<2Ω) and flat on-resistance over full analog range (Δ4Ω max), critical for precision multiplexing and gain-switching circuits. Break-before-make architecture (10ns typical delay) prevents signal shorting during channel transitions in sensitive measurement paths.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX333AEPP+ | Same pinout, but rated only for 0°C to +70°C; higher on-resistance (45Ω max) and lower ESD rating (1500V) | Suitable for commercial-grade instrumentation where extended temperature is not required | Select MAX333AEPP+ only if cost sensitivity outweighs industrial temperature and ESD requirements |
| ADG1414BRUZ | Higher supply voltage limit (+36V), lower on-resistance (1.8Ω typ), but larger TSSOP-24 package and no SSOP option | Better for high-voltage industrial PLC I/O modules requiring wider signal swing | Choose ADG1414BRUZ when >±15V operation or sub-2Ω RON is mandatory; avoid if SSOP-20 footprint is fixed |
Compared with MAX333AEPP+, MAX394EAP+T provides superior temperature range and ESD robustness; compared with ADG1414BRUZ, it offers smaller SSOP-20 packaging and lower system-level BOM cost for portable designs operating within ±8V.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX394EAP+T?
The MAX394EAP+T is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial and automotive cabin environments where ambient temperatures exceed commercial-grade limits. This extended range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and validated across all electrical parameters including on-resistance match and leakage current.
Does the MAX394EAP+T support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX394EAP+T supports single-supply operation from +2.7V to +15V. At +5V supply, typical on-resistance is 65Ω (max 75Ω), and logic inputs remain TTL/CMOS-compatible with thresholds of 0.8V (low) and 2.4V (high). The device maintains rail-to-rail analog signal handling (0V to V+) under single-supply conditions.
Is the MAX394EAP+T pin-compatible with other MAX394 variants?
Yes, the MAX394EAP+T shares identical pinout and functionality with all MAX394 variants in SSOP-20 packaging (e.g., MAX394CAP+T, MAX394EAP+), differing only in temperature grade and screening. It is also pin-compatible with MAX333 and MAX333A per the Features section, enabling drop-in replacement in legacy designs.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage the MAX394EAP+T can handle?
The MAX394EAP+T supports analog signals ranging from V− to V+, with absolute maximum ratings of (V− − 2V) to (V+ + 2V) on COM, NO, and NC pins. For example, with ±5V supplies, analog signals from –7V to +7V are permissible, provided current remains below 30mA continuous or 100mA pulsed (1ms, 10% duty cycle).
How does charge injection performance impact precision applications using the MAX394EAP+T?
With guaranteed charge injection ≤10pC, the MAX394EAP+T minimizes voltage glitches on high-impedance nodes-critical in sample-and-hold circuits and switched-capacitor filters. At CL = 1nF, this translates to ≤10mV step error, enabling accurate DC-coupled signal conditioning in portable oscilloscopes and data loggers.
