Product details
Overview
MAX394EWP+ 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, <4Ω on-resistance flatness, and break-before-make switching (10ns typ), enabling high-fidelity audio and test equipment signal paths.
For engineers reviewing the MAX394EWP+ datasheet, MAX394EWP+ pinout, MAX394EWP+ application, or MAX394EWP+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed charge injection (<10pC), off-leakage <2.5nA at +85°C, ESD >2000V, TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, and -40°C to +85°C extended temperature operation in 20-pin wide SO package.
Technical Context
The MAX394EWP+ integrates four independent CMOS SPDT switches fabricated using low-voltage silicon-gate process, supporting rail-to-rail analog signal handling across full supply range. Its architecture guarantees matched on-resistance between channels and flat on-resistance over signal swing-critical for precision multiplexing and gain-switching applications.
Break-before-make timing (10ns typical) prevents signal shorting during state transitions, while ultra-low quiescent current (<1μA) and charge injection (<10pC) ensure minimal disturbance in battery-powered instrumentation and high-accuracy data acquisition front-ends.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX333AEPD+ | Same pinout, identical 20-pin PDIP/SO footprint; slightly higher RON (45Ω max) and wider temp range (0°C to +70°C only) | Limited to commercial temperature grade; less suitable for automotive or industrial environments requiring -40°C startup | Select MAX333AEPD+ only for cost-sensitive commercial designs where extended temperature is not required. |
| ADG1414BRUZ | 4-channel SPDT, 12V max supply, 1.8Ω typical RON, but requires ≥3V logic high and lacks guaranteed charge injection spec | Better on-resistance but incompatible TTL logic interface; unsuitable for legacy 0.8V–2.4V control systems | Choose ADG1414BRUZ only when upgrading logic voltage and prioritizing ultra-low RON over backward compatibility. |
Compared with MAX333AEPD+, MAX394EWP+ provides guaranteed -40°C to +85°C operation and tighter on-resistance matching; versus ADG1414BRUZ, it offers native TTL/CMOS compatibility and documented charge injection-making it optimal for retrofitting legacy test and audio systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX394EWP+?
The MAX394EWP+ supports absolute maximum ratings of V+ to V− ≤ 17V, with V+ ranging from -0.3V to +17V and V− from +0.3V to -17V. For reliable operation, use within specified ranges: ±2.7V to ±8V (bipolar) or +2.7V to +15V (single supply). Exceeding these may cause permanent damage, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official datasheet.
Does MAX394EWP+ support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, MAX394EWP+ supports rail-to-rail analog signal handling: switched signals on COM, NO, and NC pins can range continuously from V− to V+ without damage or performance degradation. This is explicitly guaranteed in the Electrical Characteristics tables under "Analog Signal Range" and validated across temperature for both dual- and single-supply configurations.
Is MAX394EWP+ pin-compatible with MAX333 or MAX333A?
Yes, MAX394EWP+ is pin-compatible with MAX333 and MAX333A, sharing identical 20-pin wide SO (W26-1) and DIP footprints. The Pin Configuration section confirms matching IN/NO/COM/NC assignments and power pin locations, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs without layout modification.
What is the guaranteed charge injection specification for MAX394EWP+?
MAX394EWP+ guarantees charge injection of <10pC, measured under CL = 1.0nF, VGEN = 0V, RGEN = 0Ω conditions at +25°C. This value is tested and specified across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range, ensuring predictable settling behavior in sample-and-hold and precision multiplexer applications.
How does the on-resistance matching specification apply to MAX394EWP+?
MAX394EWP+ guarantees on-resistance matching of <2Ω between any two channels at +25°C, and <4Ω over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This ΔRON specification is measured with VNC or VNO = ±3V, ICOM = 10mA, and V+ = 5V/V− = -5V, directly supporting matched gain and balanced differential signal routing.
