MAX396/MAX397
Precision, 16-Channel/Dual 8-Channel,
Low-Voltage, CMOS Analog Multiplexers
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Pin-Compatible with MAX306/MAX307,
The MAX396/MAX397 low-voltage, CMOS analog
multiplexers (muxes) offer low on-resistance (100Ω max),
which is matched to within 6Ω between switches and
remains flat over the specified signal range (10Ω max).
They also offer low leakage over temperature (input
off-leakage current less than 1nA at +85°C) and fast
switching speeds (transition time less than 250ns). The
MAX396 is a 16-channel device, and the MAX397 is a
dual, 8-channel device.

The MAX396/MAX397 are fabricated with Maxim’s low-
voltage silicon-gate process. Design improvements yield
extremely low charge injection (5pC max) and guarantee
electrostatic-discharge (ESD) protection greater than
2000V per Method 3015.7
● Guaranteed Low Charge Injection (5pC max)
● Input Off-Leakage Current < 1nA at +85°C
● Output Off-Leakage Current < 2.5nA at +85°C
● Low Power Consumption < 10μW
● TTL/CMOS Compatible
These muxes operate with a single +2.7V to +16V supply
or with ±2.7V to ±8V dual supplies, while retaining CMOS-
logic input compatibility and fast switching. The MAX396/
MAX397 are pin compatible with the industry standard
MAX306/MAX307, DG406/DG407, and DG506A/DG507A.
