Product details
Overview
MAX399ESE from Maxim Integrated is a dual 4-channel CMOS analog multiplexer designed for precision signal routing in low-voltage systems. It delivers <100Ω on-resistance, <6Ω channel-to-channel matching, <5pC charge injection, and operates from ±3V to ±8V or +3V to +15V supplies. It serves as a rail-to-rail, low-leakage switch in battery-operated test equipment and military radio front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX399ESE datasheet, MAX399ESE pinout, MAX399ESE application, or MAX399ESE equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, package mapping, functional pin roles, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for dual 4-channel analog switching in industrial and defense-grade designs.
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), enabling simultaneous or isolated switching. Its logic inputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible, and enable (EN) control supports break-before-make operation with ≤40ns interval at +25°C.
It features substrate-connected-to-V+ construction and silicon-gate process optimization for ESD robustness (>2000V HBM) and temperature-stable leakage (<2.5nA COM off-leakage at +85°C). Signal handling remains rail-to-rail across its full ±4.5V analog range under ±5V supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance | <100Ω typical - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision instrumentation paths |
| RON matching | <6Ω max - enables accurate ratiometric measurements and matched channel performance in differential sensing |
| Charge injection | <5pC max - reduces settling error and droop in sample-and-hold circuits using small hold capacitors |
| Analog signal range | ±4.5V (dual supply) - supports full-rail operation with ±5V supplies without clipping |
| Off-leakage (COM) | <2.5nA at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and long-integration-time data acquisition |
| Supply range | +3V to +15V single or ±3V to ±8V bipolar - enables flexible power architecture in portable and ruggedized systems |
| Transition time | <250ns - meets timing requirements for moderate-speed automatic test equipment (ATE) sequencing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 4-channel analog switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG409BRUZ | Higher RON (100Ω typ), wider temp range (−40°C to +125°C), no exposed pad | Better suited for extended-temperature automotive or industrial control where thermal margin exceeds −40°C to +85°C | Select ADG409BRUZ when operating above +85°C or requiring RoHS-compliant TSSOP packaging without exposed pad |
| TS5A23157DGSR | Lower supply voltage (1.65V–5.5V), higher leakage (>100nA at +85°C), smaller 10-pin VSSOP | Optimized for ultra-low-power portable electronics, not suitable for ±5V or high-precision leakage-sensitive systems | Select TS5A23157DGSR only for battery-powered consumer devices with single 3.3V supply and relaxed leakage requirements |
Compared with ADG409BRUZ and TS5A23157DGSR, the MAX399ESE offers superior leakage performance (<2.5nA) and tighter RON matching (<6Ω) within its −40°C to +85°C range, making it optimal for precision military, test, and avionics signal routing where parameter stability is critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MAX399ESE?
The MAX399ESE is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C. This extended industrial temperature range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and supported by guaranteed leakage, on-resistance, and switching performance specifications across the full span. The 'E' suffix in MAX399ESE explicitly denotes this −40°C to +85°C grade, distinguishing it from commercial-grade 'C' variants.
Does the MAX399ESE support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX399ESE supports single-supply operation from +3V to +15V. In this mode, V− must be connected to GND. Electrical characteristics-including on-resistance (280Ω max at +3V), leakage, and transition time-are fully specified for +3V, +5V, and +15V conditions in the datasheet's Single-Supply sections, confirming robust functionality across the entire range.
Is the MAX399ESE pin-compatible with the DG409?
Yes, the MAX399ESE is explicitly stated as pin compatible with the industry-standard DG409 and DG509A. Pin mapping, terminal functions, and package outline (16-pin narrow SOIC) match directly, enabling drop-in replacement without PCB modification. This compatibility is documented in the Features section and Pin Configurations diagram of the MAX398/MAX399 datasheet.
What is the maximum analog signal range for the MAX399ESE?
The MAX399ESE supports an analog signal range of ±4.5V when operated with ±5V supplies, and ±3V with ±3V supplies. This rail-to-rail capability is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and is defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables under "Analog Signal Range" for dual-supply conditions.
How does the enable (EN) pin function on the MAX399ESE?
The EN pin is an active-high digital input that globally enables or disables both 4-channel banks simultaneously. When EN = low, all switches open (high-impedance state); when EN = high, channel selection via A0/A1 determines which NOx–COMx path conducts. The enable turn-on/off times are characterized at 200ns (typ) and 150ns (typ), respectively, ensuring predictable timing control in synchronous systems.
