MAX396CPI+

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The MAX396CPI+ is a precision, low-voltage CMOS analog multiplexer featuring 16 single-ended channels in a 28-pin Plastic DIP package. It operates with a single supply from +2.7V to +15V or dual supplies of ±2.7V to ±8V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum on-resistance of 100Ω at +25°C and 125Ω across the full temperature range, with channel-to-channel matching guaranteed within 6Ω. The device exhibits low charge injection (max 5pC) and fast switching speeds, with transition times under 250ns. Logic inputs are TTL/CMOS compatible, and it offers high off-isolation and low leakage currents.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix 'P' corresponds to the 28-lead Plastic DIP package and the 'C' indicates the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure supply voltage sequencing adheres to absolute maximum ratings to prevent damage during power-up or power-down cycles.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-channel multiplexer is required in a through-hole DIP format. It serves as a direct drop-in replacement for legacy MAX306 and DG406 parts. Consider the MAX397 if dual 8-channel operation is needed instead of a single 16-channel path. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements based on the specific PCB layout and ambient operating conditions.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX396/MAX397 family of low-voltage CMOS analog switches manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. The MAX396 variant specifically provides 16 channels, whereas the MAX397 offers two independent 8-channel paths. Both share identical pinouts and core performance characteristics, differing only in channel configuration.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed pin-compatible substitutes include the MAX306, DG406, and DG506A. These alternatives offer similar functionality but may differ in specific electrical parameters such as on-resistance or leakage current. Verify that the substitute meets the voltage and temperature requirements of the original design.
