Product details
Overview
The MAX395EAG from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel, serially controlled, single-pole/single-throw (SPST) CMOS analog switch 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 systems requiring low crosstalk and high off-isolation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX395EAG datasheet, MAX395EAG pinout, MAX395EAG application, or MAX395EAG equivalent, key selection criteria include its SPI/QSPI/Microwire-compatible 3-wire interface, daisy-chainable DOUT, asynchronous RESET, TTL/CMOS logic compatibility at +5V/±5V, and guaranteed 100Ω RON flatness over ±3V signal range.
Technical Context
The MAX395EAG implements an 8-bit shift register architecture synchronized to SCLK's rising edge, with latch update triggered by the rising edge of CS - fully compliant with SPI Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and Microwire protocols. Its internal logic drives eight independent SPST switches via parallel register translation, enabling simultaneous channel configuration upon CS assertion.
All NO/COM terminals are bidirectional and electrically interchangeable; each switch supports full rail-to-rail analog voltage swing between V+ and V−, with leakage currents specified down to −55°C and up to +125°C. The device integrates >2kV HBM ESD protection and features break-before-make timing (15ns typical) to prevent signal shorting during state transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (RON) | 100Ω max at ±5V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision analog paths |
| RON match | 5Ω max between channels - enables accurate channel-to-channel signal routing without gain mismatch |
| Off-leakage current | 0.1nA max at +25°C - preserves high-impedance node integrity in sensor front-ends and sample-hold circuits |
| Analog signal range | Rail-to-rail: (V− − 2V) to (V+ + 2V) - supports full dynamic range operation across dual or single supply configurations |
| Supply range | ±2.7V to ±8V dual or +2.7V to +16V single - enables flexible integration in mixed-voltage industrial and avionics systems |
| Channel crosstalk | <−90dB at 100kHz - prevents interference between adjacent switched signals in dense multiplexer layouts |
| Off isolation | −90dB at 100kHz - maintains signal integrity when unused channels are isolated from sensitive analog nodes |
Pinout & Package
MAX395EAG is housed in a 24-pin narrow plastic DIP package (0.300" wide), RoHS-compliant and rated for −40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SCLK | Serial clock input | Synchronizes DIN data into 8-bit shift register on rising edge; compatible with SPI/QSPI/Microwire timing |
| 2 V+ | Positive analog supply | Sets upper analog voltage limit; must be ≥2.7V (single) or ≥±2.7V (dual); powers internal CMOS switches |
| 3 DIN | Serial data input | Accepts 8-bit control word; D7 is MSB and first bit shifted in; unaffected by CS when high |
| 4 GND | Digital ground reference | Reference for logic inputs only; analog signals referenced solely to V+ and V−, not GND |
| 5–12, 14–20 NO0–NO7 | Normally open switch terminals | Bidirectional analog I/O; interchangeable with COMx; no polarity constraint on signal direction |
| 6–12, 13–19 COM0–COM7 | Common switch terminals | Bidirectional analog I/O; paired with corresponding NOx to form SPST switch; identical electrical role to NOx |
| 21 V− | Negative analog supply | Sets lower analog voltage limit; connect to GND for single-supply use; enables true bipolar signal handling |
| 22 DOUT | Serial data output | Shift register Q7 output; enables daisy-chaining multiple MAX395EAG devices without external logic |
| 23 RESET | Asynchronous reset input | Drives all switches OFF and clears shift register to 0 when pulled low; requires no clock or CS timing |
| 24 CS | Chip-select input | Active-low control: latches 8-bit data into parallel register on rising edge; inhibits DIN/SCLK during high state |

FAQ
What supply voltage ranges does the MAX395EAG support?
The MAX395EAG supports dual supplies from ±2.7V to ±8V or a single supply from +2.7V to +16V. This flexibility allows use in both bipolar instrumentation and unipolar industrial control systems. Operation at ±5V yields 100Ω max on-resistance, while +5V single-supply operation results in 125Ω max RON. The MAX395EAG maintains rail-to-rail analog signal handling across all supported supply configurations.
How does the MAX395EAG handle serial communication with multiple devices?
The MAX395EAG supports daisy-chaining via its DOUT pin, which outputs the Q7 bit of its internal shift register. By connecting DOUT of one MAX395EAG to DIN of the next and tying all CS and SCLK lines together, a single microcontroller can configure multiple devices with one continuous 8×N-bit stream. On the rising edge of CS, all N devices simultaneously latch their respective 8-bit words - enabling synchronized switching across complex signal matrices.
Is the MAX395EAG pin-compatible with other industry-standard analog switches?
Yes, the MAX395EAG is pin-compatible with the MAX335 series, including MAX335EAG. Both share identical 24-pin narrow DIP pinouts and common terminal assignments (e.g., NO0–NO7, COM0–COM7, SCLK, DIN, CS). However, the MAX395EAG replaces parallel address decoding with a serial interface - meaning software control differs significantly despite mechanical and electrical pin equivalence.
What is the function of the RESET pin on the MAX395EAG?
The RESET pin on the MAX395EAG provides asynchronous, hardware-level control: driving it low forces all eight switches to the OFF state and resets the internal 8-bit shift register to zero, regardless of SCLK or CS state. This ensures a known safe condition at power-up, after brownout, or during system fault recovery. RESET must remain within GND to V+ and is not clamped - exceeding those limits may damage the device.
Can the MAX395EAG be used to build multiplexer or SPDT configurations?
Yes, the MAX395EAG supports multiple topologies: as an 8×1 multiplexer (tie COM0–COM7 together), dual 4×2 differential multiplexer (group COM0–COM3 and COM4–COM7), or quad SPDT (cross-connect COM0/NO1, COM2/NO3, etc.). Its bidirectional NO/COM terminals and identical electrical characteristics per channel ensure consistent performance across all configurations - validated in Maxim's application notes for multiplexer and SPDT implementations using the MAX395EAG.
