Product details
Overview
ADG508AKNZ from Analog Devices is a CMOS 8-channel analog multiplexer designed for precision signal routing in data acquisition, instrumentation, and industrial control systems. It features VSS-to-VDD analog signal range (±15 V dual supply or 0–15 V single supply), 280 Ω typical on-resistance, 20 pA typical off-leakage, break-before-make switching, and TTL/5 V CMOS-compatible digital inputs.
For engineers reviewing the ADG508AKNZ datasheet, ADG508AKNZ pinout, ADG508AKNZ application, or ADG508AKNZ equivalent, this device is selected for high-precision, low-leakage, wide-supply analog switching where channel count, signal integrity, and temperature stability across −40°C to +85°C are critical design constraints.
Technical Context
The ADG508AKNZ implements an 8:1 single-ended analog switch architecture using enhanced LC2MOS process technology, enabling rail-to-rail analog signal handling (VSS to VDD) and operation over 10.8 V to 16.5 V single- or dual-supply ranges. Its decoder accepts three binary address lines (A0–A2) and an active-high enable (EN) to select one of eight source terminals (S1–S8) to the common drain (D).
It guarantees break-before-make switching to prevent momentary shorting between channels, supports ≤400 ns max transition time at 15 V, and maintains ≤5% RON match across channels - critical for gain-matched multi-channel systems and precision DAC demultiplexing applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | VSS to VDD: supports ±15 V dual supply or 0–15 V single supply - enables full-rail signal routing without clipping. |
| RON (Typical) | 280 Ω at ±15 V dual supply - ensures minimal gain error and voltage drop in sensor/DAQ front-ends. |
| Off-Leakage (IS) | 0.02 nA typical at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance circuits (e.g., electrometer-grade measurement). |
| tTRANSITION (Max) | 400 ns at VDD = ±15 V - supports sampling rates up to ~2.5 MSPS in time-critical multiplexed ADC systems. |
| Supply Range | 10.8 V to 16.5 V (single or dual) - accommodates standard ±12 V and ±15 V industrial power rails with margin. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C (K grade) - qualified for commercial and industrial environments without derating. |
| Charge Injection | 4 pC typical - minimizes settling error and glitch energy when switching high-impedance capacitive loads (e.g., sample-hold inputs). |
Pinout & Package
ADG508AKNZ is supplied in a 16-lead plastic dual in-line package (PDIP, N-16), with 0.300-inch body width and 0.100-inch lead pitch. Pin 1 is identified by a notch or dot; pins are numbered counter-clockwise from top-left when viewed from top.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A0 | LSB address input - selects channel index bit 0; compatible with TTL/5 V CMOS logic levels. |
| 2 | EN | Active-high enable - disables all switches when low; required for power-down or channel isolation. |
| 3 | VSS | Negative supply rail - connects to −15 V (dual) or GND (single); defines lower analog signal limit. |
| 4 | S1 | Source terminal 1 - bidirectional analog I/O; routed to D when A2A1A0 = 000 and EN = high. |
| 5 | S2 | Source terminal 2 - identical electrical behavior to S1; used for channel 1 (001) selection. |
| 6 | S3 | Source terminal 3 - supports channel 2 (010); shares same RON, leakage, and capacitance specs as S1–S8. |
| 7 | S4 | Source terminal 4 - channel 3 (011); no internal series resistance or protection diodes beyond spec limits. |
| 8 | D | Common drain/output - single-ended analog node shared by all 8 channels; low-capacitance (22 pF off). |
| 9 | S8 | Source terminal 8 - highest-index channel (111); electrically identical to S1–S7 per datasheet Table 4. |
| 10 | S7 | Source terminal 7 - channel 6 (110); validated for ≤20 mA continuous current per pin. |
| 11 | S6 | Source terminal 6 - channel 5 (101); supports break-before-make timing (tOPEN ≥ 10 ns min). |
| 12 | S5 | Source terminal 5 - channel 4 (100); matches RON within 5% across all channels at same bias. |
| 13 | VDD | Positive supply rail - connects to +15 V (dual) or +15 V (single); powers internal decoder and switch array. |
| 14 | GND | Digital ground reference - separate from VSS in dual-supply configs; ties to system 0 V in single-supply use. |
| 15 | A2 | MSB address input - controls bit 2 of 3-bit channel select; synchronous with A0/A1 for glitch-free decoding. |
| 16 | A1 | Address input - bit 1 of channel select; all address pins exhibit ≤8 pF input capacitance and <1 μA leakage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed tOPEN ≥ 10 ns minimum - prevents transient shorts during channel transitions, protecting sensitive downstream circuitry. |
| VSS-to-VDD analog range | Supports full-rail signal swing (e.g., ±10 V) with no degradation in RON or leakage - eliminates level-shifting in bipolar systems. |
| Low charge injection (4 pC) | Minimizes voltage step at D terminal during switching - critical for precision sample-and-hold and DAC output demux. |
| Enhanced LC2MOS process | Enables 44 V absolute max VDD-to-VSS rating and robust ESD tolerance - improves reliability in noisy industrial environments. |
| Single/dual-supply compatibility | Specified identically across 10.8–16.5 V single (VSS = GND) and dual (VSS = −VDD) modes - simplifies BOM consolidation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG508AKRZ | Same die, SOIC_N (R-16) package - 5.8 mm × 4.0 mm surface-mount footprint vs. PDIP's 19.1 mm × 6.4 mm through-hole. | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs and automated assembly; identical electrical specs and temp range. | Select ADG508AKRZ for new designs targeting SMT production; ADG508AKNZ remains optimal for prototyping, repair, or legacy through-hole layouts. |
| DG508AN | Legacy industry-standard pinout but higher RON (400 Ω typ), higher leakage (100 pA max), and narrower supply (±15 V only). | Limited to less demanding applications; lacks break-before-make guarantee and RoHS compliance (ADG508AKNZ is Z-suffix RoHS). | ADG508AKNZ offers measurable improvements in precision, reliability, and regulatory compliance - upgrade recommended unless DG508AN is mandated for legacy replacement. |
Compared with DG508AN and ADG508AKRZ, the ADG508AKNZ delivers superior leakage performance (0.02 nA vs. 0.1 nA), guaranteed break-before-make timing, and RoHS compliance - making it the preferred choice for new high-accuracy, industrial-grade designs requiring through-hole mounting.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for ADG508AKNZ?
The ADG508AKNZ has an absolute maximum VDD-to-VSS rating of 44 V. Its recommended operating supply range is 10.8 V to 16.5 V for both single- and dual-supply configurations. Exceeding 44 V risks permanent damage, and operation outside the 10.8–16.5 V range may degrade RON, leakage, or timing specs. The ADG508AKNZ datasheet specifies performance only within this defined operating window.
Does ADG508AKNZ support single-supply operation?
Yes, ADG508AKNZ supports true single-supply operation with VSS tied to GND and VDD at 10.8 V to 16.5 V. In this mode, the analog signal range is 0 V to VDD (e.g., 0–15 V), and all specifications - including RON (500 Ω typ), leakage (0.02 nA typ), and tTRANSITION (300 ns typ) - are fully characterized and guaranteed per the datasheet's Single Supply table.
What does the 'KNZ' suffix indicate in ADG508AKNZ?
The 'KNZ' suffix denotes the commercial-grade (K) temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), plastic DIP (N) package, and RoHS-compliant (Z) construction. This distinguishes it from variants like ADG508AKRZ (SOIC) or ADG508ABQ (ceramic DIP). The ADG508AKNZ is lead-free, halogen-free, and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements.
Is ADG508AKNZ pin-compatible with DG508A?
No, ADG508AKNZ is not pin-compatible with DG508A. While both are 8-channel analog multiplexers in 16-lead PDIP packages, their pinouts differ: DG508A places EN on Pin 1 and A0 on Pin 2, whereas ADG508AKNZ places A0 on Pin 1 and EN on Pin 2. Direct substitution requires PCB layout revision. Always verify pin mapping using Figure 3 (ADG508AKNZ) and the corresponding DG508A datasheet.
How does break-before-make timing work in ADG508AKNZ?
ADG508AKNZ guarantees break-before-make switching with tOPEN ≥ 10 ns minimum (measured from old channel turn-off to new channel turn-on). This prevents momentary shorting between source terminals during address changes. The timing is inherent to the internal decoder and switch driver design - no external timing control or delay circuitry is needed. It is validated across −40°C to +85°C and full supply range.
