Product details
Overview
MAX397CPI+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer designed for precision signal routing in low-voltage systems. It features 100Ω max on-resistance, ≤6Ω channel-to-channel RON matching, <1nA input off-leakage at +85°C, and operates from single +2.7V to +16V or dual ±2.7V to ±8V supplies. It serves as the analog switching core in battery-powered data acquisition and audio routing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX397CPI+ datasheet, MAX397CPI+ pinout, MAX397CPI+ application, or MAX397CPI+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated dual-8-channel pin mapping, temperature-stable leakage performance, and direct alternatives for industrial signal conditioning and test equipment design.
Technical Context
The MAX397CPI+ implements two independent 8:1 analog multiplexers (A and B) with shared address/enable logic, enabling simultaneous or selective routing of differential or parallel signal paths. Its silicon-gate CMOS process ensures guaranteed charge injection ≤5pC and ESD protection >2000V per Method 3015.7.
It supports break-before-make switching with ≤70ns tOPEN, transition times ≤250ns, and maintains flat on-resistance (≤10Ω variation) across its full analog signal range (V– to V+). Logic inputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible, with input leakage <0.1µA over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channel Configuration | Dual 8:1 - enables independent or synchronized routing of two analog signal groups without cross-talk coupling |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 100Ω max at +25°C - ensures minimal voltage drop and gain error in precision sensor interfaces |
| RON Matching | 6Ω max between channels - preserves amplitude accuracy when switching between calibrated sensor inputs |
| Charge Injection | 5pC max - limits voltage glitch on sample-and-hold capacitors during channel switching |
| Input Off-Leakage | <1nA at +85°C - prevents DC error accumulation in high-impedance medical or instrumentation front-ends |
| Supply Range | +2.7V to +16V (single) or ±2.7V to ±8V (dual) - supports operation from Li-ion batteries up to industrial rails |
| Transition Time | 250ns max - enables reliable multiplexing in 1MHz sampling systems with minimal settling delay |
Pinout & Package
MAX397CPI+ is housed in a 28-pin plastic DIP package (0.600" wide), with through-hole mounting and industry-standard footprint. Pin 12 is GND; pins 1 and 27 are V+ and V− respectively; pins 15–17 are A2/A1/A0 address lines; pin 18 is EN; pins 19–26 and 2–3/13–14 serve dual NOx and COMx signal paths.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive supply rail | Bias source for internal CMOS switches; must be powered before V− and logic inputs to prevent latch-up |
| V− | Negative supply rail | Defines lower analog signal limit; tied to GND in single-supply mode |
| GND (Pin 12) | Logic reference ground | Common return for digital control signals and substrate connection point |
| COMA / COMB | Output terminals for mux A and B | Bidirectional analog ports - may serve as input or output depending on signal flow direction |
| NO1A–NO8A / NO1B–NO8B | Analog input channels | Eight dedicated inputs per mux section; electrically identical and interchangeable with COMx |
| A0–A2 | Binary address inputs | Select one of eight channels per mux; A3 is not present - confirms true 8-channel (not 16-channel) architecture |
| EN | Active-high enable | Global control: logic high activates both muxes; low disconnects all channels (high-Z state) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin compatibility | Fully pin-compatible with MAX307, DG407, and DG507A - enables drop-in replacement without PCB revision |
| RON flatness | ≤10Ω variation over full signal range - eliminates gain nonlinearity in ±5V or 0–5V sensor interfaces |
| Low power consumption | <10µW quiescent - extends runtime in portable multimeters and handheld analyzers |
| Off-isolation | −75dB at 100kHz - suppresses crosstalk between active and inactive channels in RF-adjacent layouts |
| TTL/CMOS logic interface | VAL ≤0.8V, VAH ≥2.4V - interoperates directly with microcontrollers, FPGAs, and logic families without level-shifting |
Applications
| Automatic Test Equipment | Audio Signal Routing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX307CPI+ | Same pinout, identical dual-8-channel function, but higher RON (120Ω typ) and looser RON matching (15Ω max) | Suitable for non-critical general-purpose switching where leakage & matching less constrained | Select MAX307CPI+ only if cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirements; verify RON flatness meets system gain linearity spec. |
| ADG1408BRUZ | Single 8:1 mux (not dual), 4.5Ω RON, but requires separate enable per channel and no V− pin | Requires two devices + additional logic to replicate MAX397CPI+ dual functionality | Choose ADG1408BRUZ only for designs needing ultra-low RON and accepting increased component count and layout complexity. |
Compared with MAX307CPI+, MAX397CPI+ delivers tighter RON matching and lower leakage for precision measurement; versus ADG1408BRUZ, it integrates dual-channel control and bipolar supply support in one package-reducing BOM count and simplifying power domain management.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the MAX397CPI+?
The MAX397CPI+ is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C, as indicated by the 'C' suffix in its part number. This commercial-grade temperature range is validated per the device's Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables, with all key parameters-including leakage current and on-resistance-guaranteed across this span. The MAX397EPI+ variant extends to −40°C to +85°C.
Does the MAX397CPI+ support single-supply operation below +3V?
The MAX397CPI+ is specified to operate down to +2.7V per its absolute minimum supply rating, but performance is not guaranteed below that threshold. While functional behavior may persist at 1V–2.6V, on-resistance increases sharply and switching times degrade significantly-making such use unsupported for production designs. Always maintain V+ ≥ +2.7V for compliant operation of MAX397CPI+.
How does the MAX397CPI+ handle analog signal polarity?
The MAX397CPI+ supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow: COMA/COMB and NOxA/NOxB pins are interchangeable as inputs or outputs. With dual supplies (e.g., ±5V), it passes signals from −V− to +V+; with single supply (e.g., +5V/GND), it handles 0V to +5V. No internal polarity constraints exist-the device routes voltage regardless of sign, provided signals stay within V− and V+ rails.
Is the MAX397CPI+ pin-compatible with the MAX396 series?
No-MAX397CPI+ is not pin-compatible with MAX396 devices. The MAX396 is a 16-channel single-ended mux in the same 28-pin package, using A3–A0 address lines and a single COM pin. The MAX397CPI+ uses only A2–A0, dedicates pins to COMA/COMB and dual NO banks, and omits A3 and several NO pins. Their pinouts differ fundamentally despite shared package outline.
What is the guaranteed off-isolation performance of the MAX397CPI+?
The MAX397CPI+ guarantees −75dB off-isolation at 100kHz, measured with VEN = 0V, RL = 1kΩ, and worst-case channel (typically channel 4 due to proximity to COM). This specification ensures minimal signal bleed-through from active to inactive channels, critical for maintaining signal integrity in high-density multiplexed systems like automated test fixtures or multi-sensor DAQ modules.
