Product details
Overview
The MAX394EPP+ from Analog Devices is a precision quad SPDT analog switch optimized for 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 on-resistance (max), guarantees ≤2Ω channel-to-channel matching, and supports break-before-make switching with 10ns typical delay-enabling low-distortion audio routing and test equipment multiplexing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX394EPP+ datasheet, MAX394EPP+ pinout, MAX394EPP+ application, or MAX394EPP+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance flatness (Δ4Ω max), <10pC charge injection, -40°C to +85°C extended temperature operation, and compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic across supply ranges.
Technical Context
The MAX394EPP+ integrates four independent CMOS SPDT switches fabricated using low-voltage silicon-gate process technology. Each switch features matched on-resistance (≤2Ω), flat RON over full analog signal range (Δ4Ω max), and rail-to-rail analog signal handling from V− to V+.
It implements break-before-make timing (10ns typ) with turn-on <130ns and turn-off <75ns under ±5V supplies. Logic inputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible across +0.8V to +2.4V (≤+8V supplies) or +0.8V to +4V (>+8V supplies), supporting mixed-voltage system interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Supply Range | ±2.7V to ±8V bipolar or +2.7V to +15V single supply - enables flexible power architecture in battery-powered and industrial systems |
| On-Resistance (max) | 35Ω at ±4.5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision analog paths |
| On-Resistance Match | ≤2Ω between channels - critical for matched gain/phase in differential or multi-channel signal routing |
| Charge Injection | <10pC - reduces voltage glitch and settling time in sample-and-hold or multiplexed ADC front-ends |
| Off-Leakage Current | <2.5nA at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and precision reference switching |
| Switching Speed | tON <130ns, tOFF <75ns - supports fast channel scanning in automated test equipment (ATE) |
| ESD Rating | >2000V per Method 3015.7 - enhances robustness during board handling and system integration |
Pinout & Package
MAX394EPP+ uses a 20-pin plastic DIP package (P20-4), rated for -40°C to +85°C operation. The substrate is internally connected to V+.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 10, 11, 20 | IN1–IN4 | Logic-level control inputs; TTL/CMOS-compatible, referenced to GND |
| 2, 9, 12, 19 | NO1–NO4 | Normally open switch terminals; connect to COM when IN = high |
| 3, 8, 13, 18 | COM1–COM4 | Common poles; carry analog signals bidirectionally between NO and NC |
| 4, 7, 14, 17 | NC1–NC4 | Normally closed switch terminals; connect to COM when IN = low |
| 5 | V− | Negative supply rail; must be applied before analog signals in dual-supply sequencing |
| 6 | GND | Ground reference; serves as logic and analog return path |
| 15 | N.C. | No internal connection; left unconnected on PCB |
| 16 | V+ | Positive supply rail; substrate tied internally to this pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Analog signals swing fully from V− to V+ without clipping or damage - supports wide-dynamic-range instrumentation |
| Guaranteed on-resistance flatness | Δ4Ω max over full analog range - minimizes harmonic distortion in audio and video signal paths |
| Break-before-make switching | 10ns typical delay - prevents momentary short-circuit between NO and NC paths during state transitions |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | <1μA with all inputs high or low - extends battery life in portable instruments and handheld test gear |
| ESD-robust construction | >2000V HBM - reduces field failure risk in manufacturing, repair, and end-user environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX333AEPP+ | Higher on-resistance (45Ω max), wider temp range (-40°C to +85°C), same 20-pin DIP package | Lower bandwidth suitability; less ideal for high-fidelity audio but acceptable for DC/low-frequency sensor switching | Select when lower cost is prioritized over RON performance and charge injection specs |
| ADG1414BRUZ | 4-channel SPDT, 1.5Ω typical RON, 30V supply capable, 20-pin TSSOP only (no DIP) | Superior on-resistance and bandwidth, but requires PCB redesign due to different footprint and thermal profile | Choose for new designs demanding ultra-low distortion and higher voltage tolerance, accepting layout change |
Compared with MAX394EPP+, MAX333AEPP+ trades RON and charge injection for cost, while ADG1414BRUZ offers superior analog performance at the expense of package compatibility and supply voltage headroom.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MAX394EPP+?
The MAX394EPP+ is rated for -40°C to +85°C operation, making it suitable for industrial and automotive-adjacent applications where ambient conditions exceed commercial-grade limits. This extended range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and validated across all electrical specifications including on-resistance, leakage, and switching speed.
Is the MAX394EPP+ pin-compatible with other MAX394 variants?
Yes, the MAX394EPP+ shares identical pinout and functionality with other 20-pin MAX394 variants including MAX394CPP, MAX394CWP, and MAX394EWP. All adhere to the same Pin Configuration diagram (top view, DIP/SO/TSSOP/SSOP), with consistent IN/NO/COM/NC assignments and V+/V−/GND placement.
Does the MAX394EPP+ support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX394EPP+ supports single-supply operation from +2.7V to +15V. In this mode, analog signals can swing from ground (0V) to V+, and logic inputs remain compatible with TTL/CMOS levels. Performance parameters-including on-resistance (75Ω max at +3V) and leakage-are fully specified for single-supply configurations.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage the MAX394EPP+ can handle?
The MAX394EPP+ supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V− to V+. With ±5V supplies, it handles ±5V signals; with +5V single supply, it handles 0V to +5V. Absolute maximum ratings allow V+ to V− differential up to 17V, but analog signal range remains bounded by the applied supply rails.
How does the MAX394EPP+ achieve low charge injection?
The MAX394EPP+ achieves <10pC charge injection through matched transistor geometry and optimized gate drive timing in its low-voltage silicon-gate CMOS process. This is guaranteed across temperature and supply conditions, directly reducing voltage glitches in sample-and-hold circuits and improving settling behavior in multiplexed data acquisition systems.
