Product details
Overview
The MAX396EPI+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision 16-channel single-ended CMOS analog multiplexer designed for low-voltage signal routing in data acquisition and test systems. It delivers ≤100Ω on-resistance (max), ≤6Ω channel-to-channel RON matching, and <1nA input off-leakage at +85°C, operating from +2.7V to +16V single supply or ±2.7V to ±8V dual supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MAX396EPI+ datasheet, MAX396EPI+ pinout, MAX396EPI+ application, or MAX396EPI+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON flatness (≤10Ω), low charge injection (≤5pC), TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs, and operation across -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The MAX396EPI+ implements a silicon-gate CMOS architecture with integrated decoder logic for 16:1 analog switching. Its address inputs (A0–A3) and enable (EN) control channel selection in break-before-make mode, with transition time <250ns and enable timing <275ns over full temperature range.
It features internal ESD protection >2000V (HBM), rail-to-rail analog signal handling (VCOM/VNO = V− to V+), and matched switch characteristics-critical for precision multiplexed instrumentation where gain/offset errors must be minimized across channels.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channel count | 16-channel single-ended analog multiplexer with common output (COM) |
| On-resistance (RON) | ≤100Ω max at +25°C; ≤125Ω over -40°C to +85°C - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error |
| RON matching | ≤6Ω max between channels - enables accurate ratiometric measurements across selected inputs |
| Charge injection | ≤5pC max - reduces settling error in sample-and-hold and ADC front-end applications |
| Input off-leakage | <1nA at +85°C - preserves high-impedance sensor signal integrity over temperature |
| Supply range | +2.7V to +16V single supply or ±2.7V to ±8V dual supply - supports battery-powered and industrial rails |
| Logic compatibility | TTL/CMOS inputs (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.4V) - interfaces directly with microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters |
Pinout & Package
MAX396EPI+ is housed in a 28-pin plastic DIP package (0.600" wide), rated for -40°C to +85°C operation. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official datasheet revision 2 (Jan 2016).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | V+ | Positive supply input; supports up to +16V or +8V in dual-supply mode |
| 12 | GND | Logic ground reference; must be connected even in dual-supply configuration |
| 14–17 | A3–A0 | 4-bit binary address inputs selecting one of 16 NOx channels to connect to COM |
| 18 | EN | Active-high enable; disables all switches when low, reducing leakage and power |
| 19–26 | NO1–NO8 | Analog input terminals (channels 1–8); bidirectional, rail-to-rail capable |
| 28 | COM | Common analog I/O terminal; connects to selected NOx channel when enabled |
| 27 | V− | Negative supply input; required for dual-supply operation (±2.7V to ±8V) |
| 2,3,13 | N.C. | No internal connection - left unconnected per datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision RON flatness | ≤10Ω variation over full analog signal range - maintains consistent gain across input voltage swing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DG406DN-E3 | Higher RON (120Ω typ), no guaranteed RON matching spec, -40°C to +85°C grade available | Lacks precision RON flatness and matching specs - less suitable for ratiometric or high-accuracy measurements | Select DG406DN-E3 only if cost sensitivity outweighs need for guaranteed matching and flatness. |
| ADG1606BRUZ | Lower RON (4.5Ω typ), SPI interface instead of parallel address lines, +125°C extended temp option | Requires digital controller with SPI support; not pin-compatible - demands PCB redesign and firmware update | Choose ADG1606BRUZ when system requires lower on-resistance and digital configurability, accepting layout and software changes. |
Compared with DG406DN-E3 and ADG1606BRUZ, the MAX396EPI+ uniquely combines guaranteed RON matching (≤6Ω), flatness (≤10Ω), and drop-in pin compatibility with legacy industrial muxes - making it optimal for precision upgrades without hardware revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the MAX396EPI+?
The MAX396EPI+ is specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C. This industrial temperature grade is confirmed in the Ordering Information table (MAX396EPI designation) and supported by electrical characteristics tested across this full range, including leakage current and on-resistance limits.
Does the MAX396EPI+ support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX396EPI+ supports single-supply operation from +2.7V to +16V. When using a single supply, V− must be connected to GND. Performance specifications-including on-resistance, leakage, and switching speed-are guaranteed across this range per the Electrical Characteristics tables.
Is the MAX396EPI+ pin-compatible with the MAX306?
Yes, the MAX396EPI+ is explicitly stated as pin-compatible with the MAX306, DG406, and DG506A in the Benefits and Features section. Both devices use identical 28-pin DIP pinouts and share functionally equivalent pin assignments for V+, GND, COM, NO1–NO16, A0–A3, EN, and V−.
What is the typical charge injection value for the MAX396EPI+?
The MAX396EPI+ guarantees a maximum charge injection of 5pC, with typical values as low as 1–2pC depending on supply and signal conditions. This parameter is measured with CL = 100pF and is critical for minimizing voltage glitches in sample-and-hold and switched-capacitor circuits.
How does the enable (EN) pin function on the MAX396EPI+?
The EN pin on the MAX396EPI+ is an active-high logic input. When EN is low, all analog switches are disabled (high-impedance state), reducing off-leakage current to <1nA and minimizing power consumption. When EN is high, channel selection via A0–A3 becomes active, connecting the selected NOx to COM.
