Product details
Overview
DG181AA/883 from Vishay Siliconix is a radiation-hardened dual SPST JFET analog switch designed for precision signal routing in high-reliability aerospace and defense systems. It features 30 Ω typical on-resistance, <2 nA channel-on leakage, 150 ns max turn-off time, ±15 V analog signal range (–7.5 V to +15 V), and operates across –25 °C to +85 °C in a hermetically sealed 10-pin metal can package.
For engineers reviewing the DG181AA/883 datasheet, DG181AA/883 pinout, DG181AA/883 application, or DG181AA/883 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, military-grade packaging details, TTL-compatible digital control interface behavior, and validated alternatives for guidance and control system design.
Technical Context
The DG181AA/883 integrates four n-channel JFETs with a bipolar TTL-compatible driver to enable bidirectional analog conduction in both ON states. Its flat on-resistance over the full analog range eliminates large-signal distortion in video and audio paths.
It supports independent logic supply (VL = 5 V) and reference supply (VR = GND), with separate positive (V+ = +15 V) and negative (V– = –15 V) analog rails. Input logic thresholds are VINH ≥ 2.0 V and VINL ≤ 0.8 V, ensuring compatibility with standard TTL outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | –7.5 V to +15 V - supports rail-to-rail video and precision data acquisition signals without clipping |
| Drain-Source On-Resistance | 30 Ω max - ensures minimal gain error and signal attenuation in low-impedance paths |
| Channel-On Leakage | –200 nA max at hot temperature - preserves accuracy in sample/hold and high-Z sensor interfaces |
| Turn-Off Time | 150 ns max - enables fast switching in real-time guidance and telemetry sampling |
| Off Isolation | >50 dB at 1 MHz - suppresses crosstalk between adjacent channels in multi-signal systems |
| Supply Voltage Range | V+ to V– = 36 V - accommodates wide dynamic range analog front-ends in avionics |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL input thresholds (VINH ≥ 2.0 V, VINL ≤ 0.8 V) - interoperable with legacy flight computer I/O |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-pin metal can (hermetic, side-brazed, flat package variant per MIL-STD-1835), rated for –25 °C to +85 °C operation and radiation-hardened per JAN38510 requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (S1) | Switch 1 Source | Bidirectional analog terminal for first SPST switch; connects to signal path when IN1 = LOW |
| 2 (S2) | Switch 2 Source | Bidirectional analog terminal for second SPST switch; connects to signal path when IN2 = LOW |
| 3 (D1) | Switch 1 Drain | Bidirectional analog terminal for first SPST switch; symmetric with S1 for AC-coupled signals |
| 4 (D2) | Switch 2 Drain | Bidirectional analog terminal for second SPST switch; fully interchangeable with S2 in layout |
| 5,6,7 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected pins; must remain floating or grounded per PCB layout guidelines |
| 8 (IN1) | Switch 1 Control Input | TTL-compatible digital input; LOW enables S1–D1 conduction, HIGH isolates |
| 9 (V–) | Negative Analog Supply | Reference for analog signal swing; common to substrate and case per datasheet note |
| 10 (V+) | Positive Analog Supply | Primary analog rail; must be decoupled locally to minimize switching noise coupling |
| 11 (IN2) | Switch 2 Control Input | TTL-compatible digital input; independent of IN1 for asynchronous dual-channel control |
| 12 (VL) | Logic Supply | Provides power to internal TTL driver stage; fixed at 5 V, isolated from analog supplies |
| 13 (VR) | Reference Supply | Ground reference for logic section; tied to system GND, not V– or V+ |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPST JFET switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JM38510/11101BCA | Same circuit topology and pinout; wider temperature range (–55 °C to +125 °C); higher power dissipation rating (825 mW vs. 450 mW) | Required for extended-range platforms (e.g., hypersonic vehicles, deep-space probes) | Select JM38510/11101BCA when operating beyond –25 °C to +85 °C or requiring higher thermal margin |
| DG181BA | Commercial-grade variant; same 10-pin metal can but non-radiation-hardened; lower test screening level (JAN vs. JANTXV) | Suitable only for ground-test equipment or non-flight subsystems with no TID/SEE requirements | Choose DG181BA for cost-sensitive lab validation where radiation tolerance is not mandated |
Compared with DG181AA/883, JM38510/11101BCA offers extended temperature capability and higher power handling but requires revised thermal design, while DG181BA reduces cost and qualification rigor at the expense of radiation hardness-making DG181AA/883 the optimal choice for flight-critical guidance and control functions within its specified temperature envelope.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the DG181AA/883?
The DG181AA/883 supports an analog signal range of –7.5 V to +15 V when operated with V+ = +15 V and V– = –15 V. This range is guaranteed by design and enables rail-to-rail switching of video, telemetry, and sensor signals without clipping or distortion. The device maintains constant on-resistance across this full span, preserving signal integrity in high-fidelity applications.
Does the DG181AA/883 require external pull-up resistors on its digital control inputs (IN1 and IN2)?
No, the DG181AA/883 does not require external pull-up resistors on IN1 or IN2. Its TTL-compatible inputs have defined thresholds (VINH ≥ 2.0 V, VINL ≤ 0.8 V) and internally biased structure that accepts direct connection to standard TTL or CMOS logic outputs. The datasheet confirms proper function with VIN = 0 V (LOW) and VIN = 5 V (HIGH), eliminating need for external biasing components in compliant systems.
What is the radiation hardness qualification status of the DG181AA/883?
The DG181AA/883 is qualified per JAN38510/11101BIA, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 Class B requirements for radiation hardness. It is screened for total ionizing dose (TID) and single-event effects (SEE) per military specification, making it suitable for use in spacecraft, missiles, and airborne command systems where exposure to cosmic rays and solar particles is expected.
Can the DG181AA/883 operate with asymmetric analog supply voltages (e.g., V+ = +12 V, V– = –5 V)?
Yes, the DG181AA/883 supports asymmetric analog supplies within absolute maximum ratings: V+ to V– ≤ 36 V, V+ to VD ≤ 33 V, and VD to V– ≤ 33 V. However, the guaranteed analog signal range (–7.5 V to +15 V) applies only under nominal conditions (V+ = +15 V, V– = –15 V). For asymmetric rails, the usable signal swing must be verified against the specific V+, V–, and load conditions per Figure 1 and Table on page 4-8 of the datasheet.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the DG181AA/883 in its 10-pin metal can package?
The DG181AA/883 in its 10-pin metal can package has a maximum power dissipation of 450 mW at +75 °C ambient, with linear derating at 6 mW/°C above that temperature. At +125 °C, dissipation is reduced to approximately 150 mW. This derating is explicitly documented in the "Power Dissipation" table on page 4-2 and must be applied in thermal design for sustained operation in high-temperature avionics enclosures.
