Product details
Overview
The MAX395CAG+T from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel, serially controlled, single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch IC with rail-to-rail signal handling, 100Ω max on-resistance (±5V supplies), 5Ω max channel-to-channel on-resistance match, and <0.1nA off-leakage at +25°C. It operates from ±2.7V to ±8V dual supplies or +2.7V to +16V single supply and is used in precision serial data-acquisition and audio signal routing systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX395CAG+T datasheet, MAX395CAG+T pinout, MAX395CAG+T application, or MAX395CAG+T equivalent, key selection criteria include SPI/QSPI/Microwire™ compatibility, daisy-chainable serial interface, asynchronous RESET, TTL/CMOS logic thresholds, and guaranteed on-resistance flatness over ±3V signal range.
Technical Context
The MAX395CAG+T implements an 8-bit shift register architecture synchronized to SCLK's rising edge, with CS-controlled latching of switch states on its rising edge-fully compliant with SPI Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and Microwire™ standards. Its internal logic drives eight independent CMOS transmission gates, each bidirectional and symmetric in conduction.
All digital inputs (DIN, SCLK, CS, RESET) feature fixed 0.8V/2.4V logic thresholds across ±5V or +5V supplies, ensuring robust noise immunity and eliminating level-shifter requirements. The DOUT pin supports cascading up to N devices via daisy-chained shift registers without external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 100Ω max at ±5V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision analog paths |
| On-Resistance Match (∆RON) | 5Ω max between channels - enables accurate gain/offset matching in multi-channel instrumentation |
| Rail-to-Rail Signal Range | VCOM/VNO = V− to V+ - supports full dynamic range signal switching without clipping |
| Off-Leakage Current | 0.1nA max at +25°C - preserves high-impedance node integrity in low-current sensor interfaces |
| Supply Range | ±2.7V to ±8V dual or +2.7V to +16V single - accommodates legacy industrial and modern low-voltage systems |
| Serial Interface | SPI™/QSPI™/Microwire™ compatible - integrates directly with standard microcontroller peripherals without protocol translation |
| ESD Protection | >2kV per Method 3015.7 - enhances reliability in handling-sensitive test and ATE environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX395CAG+T is housed in a 24-pin SOIC wide-body package (SOG), with 0.300" width and standard JEDEC MS-013AC footprint. Pin 1 is marked with a dot; pin numbering follows counterclockwise convention from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SCLK (Pin 1) | Serial clock input | Edge-triggered synchronous control for shift register; rising edge clocks DIN data into register |
| V+ (Pin 2) | Positive analog supply | Sets upper analog signal limit; powers internal CMOS switches and ESD diodes |
| DIN (Pin 3) | Serial data input | Accepts 8-bit control word; bit D7 is first shifted in and controls NO7/COM7 switch |
| GND (Pin 4) | Digital ground reference | Reference for all digital I/O; isolated from analog signal path (no analog ground connection required) |
| NO0–NO7 (Pins 5,7,9,11,14,16,18,20) | Analog switch normally-open terminals | Bidirectional signal ports; interchangeable with COMx pins for flexible routing topologies |
| COM0–COM7 (Pins 6,8,10,12,13,15,17,19) | Analog switch common terminals | Paired with corresponding NOx to form SPST switches; may serve as input or output |
| V− (Pin 21) | Negative analog supply | Sets lower analog signal limit; tied to GND for single-supply operation |
| DOUT (Pin 22) | Serial data output | Shift-register Q7 output; enables daisy-chaining by connecting to DIN of next device |
| RESET (Pin 23) | Asynchronous reset input | Active-low signal forcing all switches OFF and clearing internal shift register to zero state |
| CS (Pin 24) | Chip-select input | Active-low latch control; rising edge updates switch states from shift register contents |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX391CNG+ | Quad SPST switch (4 channels); identical electrical specs but no serial interface - requires parallel GPIO control | Best for fixed-configuration systems where serial programming adds unnecessary complexity | Select when board space allows separate control lines and firmware lacks SPI resources |
| ADG708BRUZ | 8-channel SPST with I²C interface; 4Ω typical RON, but only supports +3V to +5.5V single supply (no dual-supply operation) | Suitable for low-voltage portable instruments but incompatible with ±5V or higher analog rails | Choose for battery-powered designs needing I²C simplicity and lower on-resistance, not dual-supply flexibility |
Compared with MAX391CNG+ and ADG708BRUZ, the MAX395CAG+T uniquely combines 8-channel serial control, dual-supply operation up to ±8V, and guaranteed on-resistance matching - making it optimal for reconfigurable industrial and test equipment where supply versatility and channel consistency are mandatory.

FAQ
What supply configurations does the MAX395CAG+T support?
The MAX395CAG+T supports dual supplies from ±2.7V to ±8V and single supplies from +2.7V to +16V. When using single supply, V− must be connected to GND. The device maintains specified on-resistance, leakage, and switching performance across all supported ranges - verified per Electrical Characteristics tables for ±5V, +5V, and +3V conditions in the official datasheet.
How does the MAX395CAG+T handle bidirectional analog signals?
The MAX395CAG+T implements symmetrical CMOS transmission gates: NOx and COMx pins are electrically identical and interchangeable. Signals pass equally well in either direction, with matched on-resistance and flatness across the full rated analog range (e.g., ±3V with ±5V supplies). This enables flexible routing in both multiplexer and demultiplexer topologies without signal-path degradation.
Can multiple MAX395CAG+T devices be connected in series?
Yes - the MAX395CAG+T supports daisy-chaining via its DOUT pin. When CS is held low, DIN data shifts through the internal 8-bit register and emerges at DOUT after eight clocks. Connecting DOUT of one MAX395CAG+T to DIN of the next allows cascading any number of devices; a single SCLK/CS sequence updates all simultaneously upon CS rising edge.
What is the function of the RESET pin on the MAX395CAG+T?
The RESET pin on the MAX395CAG+T is an asynchronous active-low input that forces all eight switches to the OFF state and clears the internal shift register to zero - regardless of CS or SCLK state. It provides deterministic power-up behavior and emergency signal isolation. RESET must be driven between GND and V+; exceeding those voltages risks damage due to lack of clamping diodes.
Is the MAX395CAG+T pin-compatible with the MAX335?
Yes - the MAX395CAG+T is explicitly stated as pin-compatible with the industry-standard MAX335 in the datasheet's General Description. Both share identical 24-pin SOIC (or DIP) pinouts, supply pin locations (V+, V−, GND), digital interface pins (SCLK, DIN, DOUT, CS, RESET), and analog switch terminal assignments (NO0–NO7, COM0–COM7), enabling direct replacement in existing MAX335-based designs.
