Product details
Overview
The MAX397EWI+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual 8-channel, low-voltage CMOS analog multiplexer designed for precision signal routing in mixed-signal systems. It features 100Ω max on-resistance (flat over ±3.5V signal range), <1nA input off-leakage at +85°C, and 5pC max charge injection-enabling high-accuracy data acquisition and low-distortion audio switching in industrial and test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX397EWI+ datasheet, MAX397EWI+ pinout, MAX397EWI+ application, or MAX397EWI+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package-validated pin functions, real-world use cases, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The MAX397EWI+ implements a dual independent 8:1 analog mux architecture with separate COMA/COMB outputs and shared A0–A2 address + EN control lines. Each channel maintains matched on-resistance (≤6Ω max between channels) and flat RON (≤10Ω variation over full signal swing), critical for multichannel measurement consistency.
It operates from single +2.7V to +16V or dual ±2.7V to ±8V supplies while preserving TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, fast transition time (<250ns), and break-before-make timing (≤70ns). ESD protection exceeds 2000V per Method 3015.7, and substrate is tied to V+ for robust latch-up immunity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channel Count | Dual 8-channel (independent A/B paths) |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 100Ω max at +25°C; ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor interfaces |
| RON Matching | 6Ω max between channels; enables accurate ratiometric measurements across multiple inputs |
| Charge Injection | 5pC max; limits voltage glitch on sample-and-hold capacitors during channel switching |
| Off-Leakage Current | <1nA at +85°C (input); preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends |
| Supply Range | +2.7V to +16V single or ±2.7V to ±8V dual; supports battery-powered and industrial rail flexibility |
| Transition Time | <250ns; enables >1MHz multiplexed sampling without inter-channel settling penalty |
Pinout & Package
MAX397EWI+ is supplied in a 28-pin Wide SO (SOIC-W) package, 0.300" wide, with standard JEDEC MS-013AC footprint and gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive supply input | Accepts +2.7V to +16V; substrate connection point for latch-up immunity |
| V- | Negative supply input | Accepts -16V to -2.7V in dual mode; tied to GND in single-supply operation |
| GND | Logic ground reference | Reference for digital inputs (A0–A2, EN) and internal biasing |
| EN | Active-high enable input | Disables all switches when low; reduces leakage and power to <1µA |
| A0–A2 | 3-bit binary address inputs | Selects one of eight channels per bank (A or B); CMOS/TTL compatible |
| COMA / COMB | Independent common output terminals | Each serves its own 8-channel bank; bidirectional signal path with no polarity restriction |
| NO1A–NO8A / NO1B–NO8B | Analog input/output terminals | Bidirectional, interchangeable with COM; support rail-to-rail analog signals within V− to V+ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin-compatible replacement | Direct drop-in for MAX307, DG407, and DG507A-no PCB redesign required |
| Low charge injection | 5pC max minimizes hold-step error in precision sample-and-hold circuits |
| RON flatness | 10Ω max variation over ±3V signal range ensures consistent gain across full input span |
| High-temperature leakage control | <2.5nA total off-leakage at +85°C enables reliable operation in industrial environments |
| Wide supply flexibility | Operates down to +2.7V single supply-ideal for portable instrumentation with Li-ion or coin-cell sources |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX307CWI+ | Same pinout, identical 8-channel function, but higher RON (120Ω typ), higher charge injection (15pC), and no guaranteed RON matching spec | Lower-cost option where precision matching and low glitch energy are non-critical | Choose MAX307CWI+ only if budget constraints outweigh need for ≤6Ω RON matching and ≤5pC charge injection. |
| ADG1408BRUZ | 8-channel single-ended (not dual), 4.7Ω RON, but requires ≥±4.5V dual or ≥9V single supply; not pin-compatible | Better RON and bandwidth, but demands higher supply voltage and different layout | Consider ADG1408BRUZ only when ultra-low on-resistance is mandatory and board redesign is acceptable. |
Compared with MAX307CWI+, the MAX397EWI+ delivers tighter RON matching and lower charge injection for precision measurement; versus ADG1408BRUZ, it offers dual-bank flexibility and wider supply range at the cost of higher RON.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MAX397EWI+?
The MAX397EWI+ is rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient operation (E-grade), validated across full electrical specifications including leakage, RON, and switching speed. This makes it suitable for industrial control cabinets, outdoor test gear, and automotive under-hood auxiliary systems where thermal stability is critical. The "EWI" suffix explicitly denotes this extended temperature grade.
Does the MAX397EWI+ support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX397EWI+ supports single-supply operation from +2.7V to +16V. In this configuration, V– must be connected to GND. Performance remains fully specified down to +2.7V, though on-resistance increases and switching speed slows below +3V-ensuring functional operation during brown-out conditions without latch-up.
Is the MAX397EWI+ pin-compatible with the MAX307?
Yes, the MAX397EWI+ is pin-compatible with the MAX307 (and also with DG407/DG507A). All share identical 28-pin Wide SO packaging, identical pin assignments for V+, V–, GND, EN, A0–A2, COM, and NO1–NO8. This allows direct substitution without layout changes-though MAX397EWI+ adds dual-bank functionality (COMA/COMB) not present in MAX307.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX397EWI+?
The MAX397EWI+ supports analog signals from V– to V+ across all channels. With ±5V supplies, that is –5V to +5V; with +5V/V– = GND, it is 0V to +5V. Absolute maximum ratings allow V+ up to +17V and V– down to –17V, but the usable analog range remains bounded by the applied supply rails-not exceeding V+–V– ≤ 17V.
How does charge injection affect system performance with the MAX397EWI+?
Charge injection in the MAX397EWI+ is guaranteed ≤5pC, which-when switching into a 100pF hold capacitor-produces ≤50mV glitch (ΔV = Q/C). This is critical in sample-and-hold and switched-capacitor circuits; designers mitigate residual error using correlated double sampling or buffer isolation. The low, tightly specified value enables 12-bit+ accuracy in multiplexed ADC front-ends.
