Product details
Overview
MAX398CSE from Maxim Integrated is a precision 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer designed for low-distortion signal routing in data-acquisition and test systems. It delivers <100Ω on-resistance, <6Ω channel-to-channel matching, <5pC charge injection, rail-to-rail analog signal handling (±4.5V), and operates from +3V to +15V single or ±3V to ±8V dual supplies. It serves as the core switching element in sample-and-hold circuits and battery-operated instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX398CSE datasheet, MAX398CSE pinout, MAX398CSE application, or MAX398CSE equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, package-validated pin functions, real-world application context, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and parametric differences.
Technical Context
The MAX398CSE implements an 8:1 bidirectional analog switch architecture using low-voltage silicon-gate CMOS process technology. Its decoder logic accepts three address inputs (A0–A2) and an active-high enable (EN) to select one of eight NOx inputs to connect to the common COM terminal.
All channels share matched on-resistance flatness (<11Ω variation over full signal range) and guaranteed low off-leakage (<2.5nA at +85°C). It features TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs, electrostatic discharge protection >2000V, and supports unbalanced supply configurations such as +10V/−5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channel Count | 8-channel single-pole, single-throw (SPST) analog multiplexer |
| On-Resistance (RON) | <100Ω typical at VCOM = ±3V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision measurement paths |
| RON Matching | <6Ω max between channels - enables high-accuracy differential and ratiometric measurements |
| Charge Injection | <5pC - limits voltage glitch on sample capacitors in S/H circuits, reducing acquisition settling time |
| Analog Signal Range | ±4.5V with ±5V supplies - supports rail-to-rail input/output swing without clipping |
| Supply Range | +3V to +15V single or ±3V to ±8V dual - allows operation in low-voltage portable and industrial bipolar systems |
| Leakage Current (NO OFF) | <2.5nA at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and long-hold applications |
Pinout & Package
The MAX398CSE is supplied in a 16-pin narrow SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, designated S16-1 per Maxim's ordering guide. The exposed pad variant is not used in this grade; EP connection is not applicable.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15, 16 | A0, A1, A2 | Binary address inputs selecting one of eight NOx channels (000–111); CMOS/TTL compatible |
| 2 | EN | Active-high enable: disables all switches when low, preventing unintended channel conduction |
| 3 | V− | Negative supply rail for dual-supply operation; tied to GND for single-supply use |
| 4–7, 9–12 | NO1–NO4, NO5–NO8 | Eight bidirectional analog input terminals; low capacitance (11pF typ.) minimizes crosstalk |
| 8 | COM | Common bidirectional analog output/input node; connects to selected NOx channel when enabled |
| 13 | V+ | Positive supply rail; supports up to +15V for wide dynamic range signal handling |
| 14 | GND | Digital and analog ground reference; decoupling near V+/V− pins critical for noise immunity |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG408BRZ | 8-channel, 44Ω max RON at +15V, −40°C to +85°C grade only; no QFN option in C-grade | Higher RON increases gain error in precision bridges; wider temp range suits industrial over commercial use | Select ADG408BRZ when extended temperature operation or higher ESD tolerance (4000V) is required |
| TMUX1208RTER | 8-channel, 5Ω max RON, but only supports +1.08V to +5.5V supply; no bipolar capability | Not usable in ±5V or +12V systems; optimized for low-voltage MCU-based signal routing, not legacy industrial designs | Choose TMUX1208RTER for modern battery-powered IoT nodes where ultra-low RON and I²C control are prioritized |
Compared with ADG408BRZ and TMUX1208RTER, the MAX398CSE uniquely balances wide supply flexibility (+3V to +15V / ±3V to ±8V), commercial-grade cost, and proven pin compatibility with legacy DG408/DG508A sockets-making it optimal for retrofit and mid-volume industrial instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX398CSE?
The MAX398CSE supports analog signals from V− to V+ across its full operating supply range. With ±5V supplies, the usable range is ±4.5V; with +15V/0V single supply, it handles 0V to +14.5V. This rail-to-rail capability ensures compatibility with standard ADC input ranges and prevents clipping in precision measurement paths. The MAX398CSE maintains specified RON flatness and leakage performance across these extremes.
Is the MAX398CSE pin-compatible with the DG408 and DG508A?
Yes, the MAX398CSE is explicitly designed as a pin-compatible replacement for the DG408 and DG508A analog multiplexers. Its pinout matches these industry-standard devices in the 16-pin narrow SOIC package (S16-1), allowing direct substitution without PCB layout changes. This compatibility is confirmed in the device's "Features" section and "Pin Configurations" diagram in the official datasheet.
What is the typical on-resistance matching between channels for the MAX398CSE?
The MAX398CSE guarantees on-resistance matching of less than 6Ω between any two channels, defined as ΔRON = RONMAX − RONMIN. This tight matching is maintained over temperature and signal voltage, enabling accurate ratiometric measurements and minimizing channel-to-channel gain variation in multichannel data acquisition systems using the MAX398CSE.
Does the MAX398CSE support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX398CSE supports single-supply operation from +3V to +15V. In this mode, V− must be connected to GND. The device retains CMOS/TTL logic compatibility, low leakage, and fast switching performance. At +5V supply, typical on-resistance is 100Ω and transition time remains under 250ns - confirming robust functionality in battery-powered and low-voltage embedded systems using the MAX398CSE.
What is the charge injection specification for the MAX398CSE, and why does it matter?
The MAX398CSE guarantees charge injection of less than 5pC. This parameter quantifies the transient voltage glitch injected onto the COM node when a channel turns off - critical in sample-and-hold circuits where even picocoulombs can cause measurable hold-step errors. Low charge injection directly reduces settling time and improves DC accuracy in precision acquisition systems relying on the MAX398CSE.
