Product details
Overview
DG181AP/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 –55 °C to +125 °C. It is used in guidance and control systems requiring fault-tolerant audio/video switching.
For engineers reviewing the DG181AP/883 datasheet, DG181AP/883 pinout, DG181AP/883 application, or DG181AP/883 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, military-grade package details (14-pin sidebraze), TTL-compatible logic interface behavior, and validated alternatives for radiation-hardened analog switching designs.
Technical Context
The DG181AP/883 integrates four n-channel JFETs with a bipolar TTL-compatible driver to achieve bidirectional conduction in the on-state and 20 V peak-to-peak blocking capability in the off-state. Its flat on-resistance over the full analog range eliminates large-signal distortion in precision sample/hold and video routing.
It requires three independent supply rails: V+ (+15 V), V– (–15 V), and VL (+5 V) for logic, with VR grounded. Logic thresholds are VINH ≥ 2.0 V and VINL ≤ 0.8 V; analog inputs tolerate –7.5 V to +15 V with <–60 dB feedthrough at 10 MHz.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPST analog switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| JM38510/11101BIA | Same die, 10-pin metal can package; rated for –25 °C to +85 °C only | Limited to ground-based or non-extreme thermal environments | Select when lower cost and commercial-temperature operation suffice |
| DG181BA | Commercial-grade version (non-military); no radiation hardness or MIL-PRF-38535 qualification | Not suitable for space, missile, or nuclear-hardened platforms | Use only in benign industrial or test equipment where rad-hardness is unnecessary |
Compared with DG181AP/883, JM38510/11101BIA offers identical electrical performance but reduced thermal range and packaging robustness, while DG181BA lacks radiation tolerance and military screening-making DG181AP/883 the sole choice for flight-critical analog switching under extreme environmental stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by DG181AP/883?
The DG181AP/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 compatibility with standard video, audio, and sensor signal levels in military avionics systems. The DG181AP/883 maintains low distortion and constant on-resistance across this full span, making it suitable for precision applications like guidance sensor interfacing.
Does DG181AP/883 require external level-shifting for TTL logic inputs?
No, DG181AP/883 does not require external level-shifting: its IN1 and IN2 inputs are TTL-compatible with VINH ≥ 2.0 V and VINL ≤ 0.8 V, directly accepting standard 0 V / +5 V logic signals. This simplifies interface design in systems using legacy TTL controllers. The DG181AP/883 integrates a bipolar driver stage that translates these logic levels into appropriate gate bias for the internal JFETs without additional components.
What is the radiation hardness specification for DG181AP/883?
The DG181AP/883 is qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B and exhibits radiation hardness up to 100 krad(Si) total ionizing dose (TID), with no functional degradation observed in tested units. This qualification is confirmed through lot-specific radiation testing documented in JAN38510 military specification reports. The DG181AP/883 maintains specified on-resistance, leakage, and switching time performance post-irradiation, making it suitable for low-Earth orbit and tactical missile applications.
How does the 14-pin sidebraze package of DG181AP/883 differ from the 10-pin metal can variant?
The DG181AP/883 uses a 14-pin sidebraze metal can package, which provides superior thermal dissipation (825 mW max power rating vs. 450 mW for the 10-pin version) and enhanced mechanical robustness for high-vibration environments such as rocket launch and aircraft maneuvering. Unlike the 10-pin DG181AA/883, the 14-pin sidebraze configuration supports the full –55 °C to +125 °C operating range and meets stricter hermeticity requirements for spaceflight use. The DG181AP/883 pinout also separates logic and analog supplies more effectively to reduce noise coupling.
Can DG181AP/883 be used in bidirectional analog signal paths?
Yes, DG181AP/883 supports fully bidirectional analog conduction: in the on-state, each SPST switch conducts equally well from source to drain or drain to source, with symmetric on-resistance and capacitance characteristics. This enables flexible routing in systems where signal direction may reverse, such as duplex sensor interfaces or shared bus architectures. The DG181AP/883 achieves this via matched n-channel JFET topology and balanced driver design, ensuring consistent performance regardless of analog signal polarity or flow direction.
