The MAX354/MAX355 fault-protected multiplexers
(muxes) use a series N-channel, P-channel, N-channel
structure that protects the devices from overvoltage up
to 40V beyond the supply rails during power-up, powerdown, and fault conditions. The MAX354/MAX355 also
protect sensitive circuit components against voltages
near or beyond the normal supplies.
The MAX354 single 8-channel mux and the MAX355
dual 4-channel mux protect analog signals while operating from a single 4.5V to 36V supply or ±4.5V to ±18V
dual supplies. These muxes have 350Ω on-resistance
and can be used for demultiplexing as well as multiplexing. Input leakage current is less than 0.5nA at
+25°C and less than 5nA at +85°C.
All digital inputs have 0.8V and 2.4V logic thresholds,
ensuring both TTL and CMOS logic compatibility without pull-up resistors. Break-before-make operation is
guaranteed and power consumption is less than
1.5mW.

Fault-Protection Circuitry
Maxim’s MAX354/MAX355 are fully fault protected for
continuous input voltages up to ±40V, whether or not
the V+ and V- power supplies are present. These
devices use a “series FET” protection scheme that not
only protects the multiplexer output from overvoltage,
but also limits the input current to sub-microamp levels.
When signal voltages exceed or are within approximately 1.5V of the supply rails, on-resistance increases. This greater on-resistance limits fault currents and
output voltage, protecting sensitive circuits and components. The protected output clamps at approximately
going into or coming out of a fault condition.
Figures 8 and 9 show how the series FET circuit protects
against overvoltage conditions. When power is off, the
gates of all three FETs are at ground. With a -25V input,
N-channel FET Q1 is turned on by the +25V gate-tosource voltage. The P-channel device (Q2), however,
has +25V V
and is turned off, thereby preventing the
GS
input signal from reaching the output. If the input voltage is +25V, Q1 has a negative VGS, which turns it off.
Similarly, only sub-microamp leakage currents can flow
from the output back to the input, since any voltage will
turn off either Q1 or Q2.
Fault-Protected Analog Multiplexers
Figure 10 shows the condition of an off channel with V+
and V- present. As with Figures 8 and 9, either an Nchannel or a P-channel device will be off for any input
voltage from -40V to +40V. The leakage current with
negative overvoltages will immediately drop to a few
nanoamps at +25°C. For positive overvoltages, that
fault current will initially be 10µA or 20µA, decaying
over a few seconds to the nanoamp level. The time
constant of this decay is caused by the discharge of
stored charge from internal nodes and does not compromise the fault-protection scheme.
Figure 11 shows the condition of the on channel with
V+ and V- present. With input voltages less than ±10V,
all three FETs are on and the input signal appears at
the output. If the input voltage exceeds V+ minus the
N-channel threshold voltage (VTN), the N-channel FET
will turn off. For voltages more negative than V- minus
the P-channel threshold (VTP), the P-channel device will
turn off. Since VTNis typically 1.5V and VTPis typically
3V, the multiplexer’s output swing is limited to about -12V
to +13.5V with ±15V supplies.
Switching Characteristics
and Charge Injection
Table 1 shows typical charge injection levels versus
power-supply voltages and analog input voltage. The
charge injection that occurs during switching creates a
voltage transient whose magnitude is inversely proportional to the capacitance on the multiplexer output.

Fault-Protected Analog Multiplexers
The channel-to-channel switching time is typically
180ns, with about 100ns of break-before-make delay.
This 100ns break-before-make delay prevents the
input-to-input short that would occur if two input channels were simultaneously connected to the output. In a
typical data acquisition system, the dominant delay is
not the switching time of the multiplexer, but is the settling time of the amplifiers and S/H. Another limiting factor is the RC time constant of the multiplexer RONplus
the signal source impedance multiplied by the load
capacitance on the output of the multiplexer. Even with
low signal source impedances, 100pF of capacitance
on the multiplexer output will approximately double the
settling time to 0.01% accuracy.
Operation with Supply Voltages
MAX354/MAX355
The main effect of supply voltages other than ±15V is
the reduction in output signal range. The MAX354 limits
the output voltage to about 1.5V below V+ and about
3V above V-. In other words, the output swing is limited
to +3.5V to -2V when operating from ±5V. The
Operating Characteristics
power supplies. Maxim tests and guarantees the
MAX354/MAX355 for operation from ±4.5V to ±18V
supplies. The switching delays are increased by about
a factor of 2 at ±5V, but break-before-make action is
preserved.
The MAX354/MAX355 can operate with a single +4.5V
to +30V supply, as well as asymmetrical power supplies such as +15V and -5V. The digital threshold
remains approximately 1.6V above the GND pin, and
the analog characteristics, such as RON, are determined by the total voltage difference between V+ and
V-. Connect V- to 0V when operating with a +4.5V to
+30V single supply.
The MAX354 digital threshold is relatively independent
of the power-supply voltages, going from 1.6V typical
when V+ is 15V to 1.5V typical when V+ is 5V. This
means that the MAX354/MAX355 operate with standard
TTL-logic levels, even with ±5V power supplies. In all
cases, the threshold of the enable (EN) pin is the same
as the other logic inputs.
show RONfor +15V and ±5V
Other than ±15V
Typical
Digital Interface Levels
The typical digital threshold of both the address lines
and the enable pin is 1.6V, with a temperature coefficient of about -3mV/°C. This ensures compatibility with
0.8V to 2.4V TTL-logic swings over the entire temperature range. The digital threshold is relatively independent of the supply voltages, moving from 1.6V typical to
1.5V typical as the power supplies are reduced from
±15V to ±5V. In all cases, the digital threshold is referenced to the GND pin.
The digital inputs can also be driven with CMOS-logic
levels swinging from either V+ to V- or from V+ to
ground. The digital input current is just a few nanoamps
of leakage at all input voltage levels, with a guaranteed
maximum of 1µA.
Operation as a Demultiplexer
The MAX354/MAX355 function as demultiplexers where
the input is applied to the output pin, and the input pins
are used as outputs. The MAX354/MAX355 provide
both break-before-make action and full fault protection
when operated as demultiplexers, unlike earlier generations of fault-protected muxes.
Channel-to-Channel Crosstalk,
Off-Isolation, and Digital Feedthrough
At DC and low frequencies the channel-to-channel
crosstalk is caused by variations in output leakage currents as the off-channel input voltages are varied. The
MAX354 output leakage varies only a few picoamps as
all seven off inputs are toggled from -10V to +10V. The
output voltage change depends on the impedance
level at the MAX354 output, which is RONplus the input
signal source resistance in most cases, since the load
driven by the MAX354 is usually high impedance. For a
signal source impedance of 10kΩ or lower, the DC
crosstalk exceeds 120dB.
Tables 2a and 2b show typical AC crosstalk and offisolation performance. Digital feedthrough is masked
by the analog charge injection when the output is
enabled. When the output is disabled, the digital
feedthrough is virtually unmeasureable, since the digital pins are physically isolated from the analog section
by the GND and V- pins. The ground plane formed by
these lines is continued onto the MAX354/MAX355 die
to provide over 100dB isolation between the digital and
analog sections.
Test Conditions: Specified RLconnected from OUT to ground,
EN = +5V, A
at the tabulated frequency is applied to Channel 2. All other
channels are open circuited. Similar crosstalk rejection can be
observed between any two channels.
