Product details
Overview
The MAX399ESE+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision dual 4-channel CMOS analog multiplexer designed for bidirectional signal routing in low-voltage, high-accuracy systems. It features ≤100Ω on-resistance (typ. 60Ω), <6Ω channel-to-channel RON matching, <5pC charge injection, ±3V to ±8V or +3V to +15V supply operation, and rail-to-rail analog signal handling up to ±4.5V - enabling use in battery-powered data acquisition and military-grade guidance interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MAX399ESE+ datasheet, MAX399ESE+ pinout, MAX399ESE+ application, or MAX399ESE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated package mapping (16-pin narrow SO), confirmed dual 4-channel switching architecture, and two rigorously cross-referenced alternative parts with documented functional and layout differences.
Technical Context
The MAX399ESE+ implements a CMOS transmission-gate architecture with independent address decoding for two 4-channel banks (COMA/NO1A–NO4A and COMB/NO1B–NO4B), controlled by A0/A1 and EN. Its low-charge-injection design (<5pC) and flat on-resistance (<11Ω variation over ±4.5V signal range) support precision sample-and-hold and low-distortion audio routing.
It operates across industrial temperature (−40°C to +85°C), supports TTL/CMOS logic inputs (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.4V), and guarantees ESD protection >2000V. Pin compatibility with DG409/DG509A enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs without PCB revision.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Configuration | Dual 4-channel analog multiplexer: two independent banks, each with one common (COMA/COMB) and four inputs (NO1A–NO4A / NO1B–NO4B) |
| On-Resistance (RON) | ≤100Ω max at +25°C; ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor front-ends |
| RON Matching | <6Ω between channels; critical for matched gain paths in differential instrumentation amplifiers |
| Charge Injection | <5pC; limits voltage glitch on hold capacitors in sample-and-hold circuits to <1mV (with 5nF cap) |
| Analog Signal Range | ±4.5V with ±5V supplies; supports full-rail operation in bipolar signal chains without level-shifting |
| Supply Range | +3V to +15V single or ±3V to ±8V dual; enables direct integration into 3.3V, 5V, and ±5V systems |
| Leakage Current | <2.5nA COM off-leakage at +85°C; preserves accuracy in high-impedance, low-power sensor nodes |
Pinout & Package
MAX399ESE+ is housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC (S16-1) package with standard 0.150" width and 0.050" lead pitch. The exposed pad is absent - this variant uses conventional SO construction, not QFN-EP.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 16 | A0, A1 | Binary address inputs selecting active channel per bank (00→NO1, 01→NO2, etc.) |
| 2 | EN | Active-high enable: disables all switches when low; required for power gating and sequencing control |
| 3 | V− | Negative supply rail: must be connected for dual-supply operation; tied to GND for single-supply mode |
| 4–7 | NO1A–NO4A | Bidirectional analog inputs for Bank A; routed to COMA when selected |
| 8, 9 | COMA, COMB | Common analog I/O terminals - one per 4-channel bank; serve as input or output depending on signal flow |
| 10–13 | NO1B–NO4B | Bidirectional analog inputs for Bank B; routed to COMB when selected |
| 14 | V+ | Positive supply rail: supports up to +15V; powers internal logic and switch drivers |
| 15 | GND | Ground reference for logic inputs and substrate bias; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PIN-COMPATIBLE WITH DG409/DG509A | Direct mechanical and functional replacement in existing layouts - no footprint or netlist changes required |
| FLAT ON-RESISTANCE OVER SIGNAL RANGE | <11Ω variation from −4.5V to +4.5V ensures linear gain and minimal THD in audio and instrumentation paths |
| LOW CHARGE INJECTION (<5pC) | Reduces hold-mode settling error and eliminates need for large hold capacitors in precision ADC front-ends |
| Rail-to-Rail Signal Handling | Supports analog signals spanning V− to V+ without clipping - essential for ±5V op-amp interfaces and sensor conditioning |
| ESD Protection >2000V | Meets HBM Class 2 requirements; enables robust handling during board assembly and field maintenance |
Applications
| Sample-and-Hold Circuits | Automatic Test Equipment |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Capturing fast transient waveforms from multiple sensors with sub-microsecond aperture time. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision analog switch controlling connection between sensor output and hold capacitor.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability analog switch supporting RF front-end reconfiguration under extended temperature stress. Use Value: Guaranteed RON matching (<6Ω) and leakage (<2.5nA at +85°C) ensure stable impedance and minimal LO feedthrough across environmental extremes. |
Use Scenario: Dynamic routing of line-level audio between DACs, amplifiers, and headphone outputs in professional mixing consoles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional analog switch providing zero-crossing mute and channel assignment without pop/click artifacts.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX399EEE+ | Same die and specs, but in 16-pin QSOP (E16-1) - 0.150" width vs. 0.150" narrow SO; identical pinout, slightly higher thermal resistance | Preferred where board space allows larger footprint or where QSOP is standardized in production | Select MAX399EEE+ only if QSOP is required for assembly compatibility or thermal budget permits higher θJA |
| ADG409BRZ | Pin-compatible dual 4-channel mux; RON = 100Ω typ (vs. 60Ω), charge injection = 25pC (vs. <5pC), no guaranteed RON matching spec | Suitable for non-critical routing where cost is prioritized over precision; not recommended for sample-and-hold or metrology | Choose ADG409BRZ only for cost-sensitive, non-precision applications - avoid where <6Ω RON match or <5pC charge injection is required |
Compared with MAX399ESE+, MAX399EEE+ offers identical functionality in a different package with no performance trade-offs, while ADG409BRZ provides lower cost at the expense of precision parameters critical for metrology and high-fidelity signal paths.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal range supported by the MAX399ESE+?
The MAX399ESE+ supports an analog signal range of ±4.5V when operated with ±5V supplies, and up to V− to V+ across its full supply range (+3V to +15V single or ±3V to ±8V dual). This rail-to-rail capability ensures no signal clipping in precision sensor and audio interfaces without external level-shifting circuitry.
Does the MAX399ESE+ require external pull-up resistors on address or enable pins?
No. The MAX399ESE+ features CMOS-compatible digital inputs with guaranteed logic thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.4V) and input leakage <±0.1µA - eliminating need for external biasing. Direct connection to microcontroller GPIO or FPGA outputs is fully supported without pull-ups or series resistors.
Can the MAX399ESE+ operate from a single 3.3V supply?
Yes. The MAX399ESE+ is fully specified down to +3V single supply. At +3V, it maintains rail-to-rail analog operation (0V to 3.3V), though on-resistance increases to 425Ω max and transition time extends to 575ns - acceptable for low-speed sensor multiplexing and battery-powered portable instruments.
How does the break-before-make timing work on the MAX399ESE+?
The MAX399ESE+ guarantees a minimum 10ns break-before-make interval (tOPEN) during channel transitions, preventing momentary shorting between analog sources. This is enforced by internal logic that holds all switches open for ≥10ns before closing the newly selected path - critical for avoiding signal corruption in multi-source systems.
Is the MAX399ESE+ pin-compatible with the DG409?
Yes. The MAX399ESE+ is explicitly designed as a pin-compatible and functionally equivalent upgrade to the industry-standard DG409. All pins - including COMA/COMB, NO1A–NO4A/NO1B–NO4B, A0/A1, EN, V+, V−, and GND - map identically, enabling drop-in replacement without PCB modification.
