Product details
Overview
The MAX4508ESE+ from Maxim Integrated is a fault-protected, high-voltage single 8-to-1 analog multiplexer with rail-to-rail signal handling, ±40V overvoltage protection with supplies off, 400Ω max on-resistance, and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs. It operates from dual ±4.5V to ±20V or single +9V to +36V supplies and is used in industrial data-acquisition systems requiring robust signal routing under fault conditions.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4508ESE+ datasheet, MAX4508ESE+ pinout, MAX4508ESE+ application, or MAX4508ESE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include fault-protection voltage limits (±40V power-off), on-resistance matching (≤15Ω), enable timing (tON ≤ 700ns), rail-to-rail analog range, and SOIC-16 package compatibility with legacy DG508 designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4508ESE+ uses parallel N- and P-channel FETs per channel to achieve low on-resistance and true rail-to-rail signal pass-through without degradation near supply rails. Its dual comparator-based fault detection clamps COM output to V+ or V− within 20ns when NO_ exceeds rails by >150mV.
Fault response is asymmetric: positive faults clamp COM to V+ via P2 FET; negative faults clamp to V− via N2 FET. During faults, COM output current is sourced/sunk up to ±10mA from V+/V−, and NO_ pins become high-impedance regardless of switch state or load configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | Dual ±4.5V to ±20V or single +9V to +36V - supports wide industrial and avionics power architectures without sequencing. |
| On-Resistance | 400Ω max - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision sensor or DAC output routing. |
| On-Resistance Match | 15Ω max between channels - critical for matched-gain multi-channel instrumentation and calibration systems. |
| Fault Protection | ±40V with supplies off, ±25V with ±15V supplies - protects downstream circuitry during hot-swap, wiring faults, or ESD events. |
| Fault Response Time | 20ns - enables real-time clamping before transient energy damages connected ADCs or amplifiers. |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.4V at +12V) - interoperable with microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting. |
| Rail-to-Rail Handling | Full V− to V+ analog range - preserves dynamic range of ±10V industrial sensors and bipolar DAC outputs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4508ESE+ is housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC (S16-8) package, RoHS-compliant and lead-free (+ suffix). Pin layout follows industry-standard DG508 footprint for drop-in replacement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 A0 | Address Bit 0 | Selects one of eight input channels (LSB of 3-bit address). |
| 2 EN | Enable Input | Active-high digital control: disables all switches when low, prevents unintended conduction. |
| 3 V− | Negative Supply | Bipolar operation reference; must be ≤ −4.5V for dual-supply mode or tied to GND for single-supply use. |
| 4–11 NO1–NO8 | Analog Inputs | Fault-protected channel inputs; withstand ±40V with supplies off and clamp internally during overvoltage. |
| 12–13 NC | No Connect | Not internally bonded; left unconnected per datasheet recommendation. |
| 14 GND | Logic Ground | Reference for digital inputs only; isolated from analog signal paths to prevent noise coupling. |
| 15 A2 | Address Bit 2 | MSB of 3-bit address; determines channel selection with A1 and A0. |
| 16 A1 | Address Bit 1 | Middle bit of 3-bit address; decoding logic drives internal analog switches. |
| 8 COM | Analog Output | Common output node; not fault-protected - must remain within V− to V+ to avoid ESD diode conduction. |
| 13 V+ | Positive Supply | Primary power rail; supplies internal logic, level translators, and clamp FETs during fault conditions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Enables full utilization of ±15V sensor outputs and DAC ranges without clipping or headroom loss. |
| ±40V fault protection with supplies off | Allows safe connection of field wiring prior to system power-up, eliminating pre-power surge risks. |
| No power-supply sequencing required | Permits independent ramp-up of V+ and V− rails - simplifies power management in multi-rail industrial controllers. |
| All channels off with power off | Prevents back-driving or leakage into powered subsystems when main supply is removed. |
| Output clamped to appropriate supply during fault | Protects downstream op-amps and ADC inputs by limiting COM voltage to safe V+ or V− levels. |
| 20ns fault-response time | Meets IEC 61000-4-4 fast transient immunity requirements for industrial control I/O modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fault-protected multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG508FBRZ | ±40V fault protection with supplies off; 350Ω max RON; requires ±15V supplies only - no single-supply operation. | Optimized for precision test equipment; lacks TTL-compatible logic thresholds - needs level-shifting with 3.3V/5V controllers. | Choose ADG508FBRZ when ultra-low leakage (<1nA) and tighter RON match (±5Ω) outweigh single-supply flexibility. |
| TS5A3159DCKR | Single-supply only (+1.65V to +5.5V); ±12V fault protection; 0.9Ω RON; no rail-to-rail analog range - limited to low-voltage logic-level switching. | Targeted at portable battery-powered systems; unsuitable for industrial ±10V signal routing due to voltage and fault-rating constraints. | Choose TS5A3159DCKR only for low-voltage, low-power consumer applications - not a functional substitute for MAX4508ESE+ in high-voltage contexts. |
Compared with ADG508FBRZ and TS5A3159DCKR, the MAX4508ESE+ uniquely combines wide dual/single supply support, true rail-to-rail analog handling, TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, and ±40V fault protection - making it the only option qualified for harsh industrial and avionics signal routing where voltage range, fault resilience, and interface simplicity are simultaneously critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable overvoltage on the NO_ pins of the MAX4508ESE+ when power is off?
The MAX4508ESE+ supports ±40V overvoltage on NO_ pins with supplies off - verified per Absolute Maximum Ratings. This allows safe connection of field wiring before system power-up. Exceeding ±40V risks permanent damage. The COM pin is not fault-protected and must remain within V− to V+ at all times to avoid ESD diode conduction.
Does the MAX4508ESE+ support single-supply operation, and what is the minimum voltage?
Yes, the MAX4508ESE+ supports single-supply operation from +9V to +36V with V− tied to GND. At +9V, it maintains full functionality including fault protection, rail-to-rail signal handling, and TTL-compatible logic thresholds. Performance specifications such as on-resistance and switching time are guaranteed across this entire range per Electrical Characteristics tables.
What is the on-resistance matching specification for the MAX4508ESE+, and why does it matter?
The MAX4508ESE+ guarantees ≤15Ω on-resistance match (ΔRON) between any two channels. This tight matching ensures consistent gain and offset across multiplexed sensor channels in instrumentation systems - critical for multi-channel calibration, ratiometric measurements, and differential signal routing where mismatch introduces measurement errors.
Can the MAX4508ESE+ be used as a direct replacement for the DG508 in existing designs?
Yes, the MAX4508ESE+ is explicitly pin-compatible with the DG508 and shares identical SOIC-16 pinout and logic-level behavior. It improves upon the DG508 with rail-to-rail signal handling, ±40V fault protection, and lower on-resistance drift over temperature - enabling drop-in upgrades without PCB changes in legacy industrial and test equipment.
What happens to the COM output during a positive overvoltage fault on an NO_ pin?
During a positive overvoltage fault (NO_ > V+ +150mV), the MAX4508ESE+ turns off the main N1/P1 FETs and activates the P2 clamp FET, forcing the COM output to V+. This clamping occurs within 20ns and limits downstream voltage to a safe level. Current is sourced from V+ up to ±10mA - ensure external load impedance prevents exceeding the 30mA absolute maximum rating.
