Product details
Overview
DG186AP/883 from Vishay Siliconix is a radiation-hardened, precision SPDT analog switch built with n-channel JFETs and TTL-compatible bipolar driver circuitry. It delivers 10 Ω typical on-resistance (rDS(on)), <2 nA channel-on leakage (ID(on)), and break-before-make switching for audio/video signal routing in harsh environments. Used in telemetry systems and guidance control where signal integrity and fault tolerance are critical.
For engineers reviewing the DG186AP/883 datasheet, DG186AP/883 pinout, DG186AP/883 application, or DG186AP/883 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, military-grade package details (14-pin sidebraze), thermal limits (–55°C to +125°C), and validated alternative options for high-reliability analog switching designs.
Technical Context
The DG186AP/883 integrates two matched n-channel JFETs with a dedicated TTL-compatible bipolar driver that enforces break-before-make timing to prevent channel shorting and crosstalk. Its flat on-resistance over the full analog range (–7.5 V to +15 V) enables distortion-free signal switching without gain error.
It operates from dual supplies (V+ = +15 V, V– = –15 V), logic supply VL = +5 V, and reference supply VR = GND, supporting bidirectional conduction in the on-state and blocking up to 20 V peak-to-peak in the off-state with >55 dB off-isolation at 1 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | –7.5 V to +15 V - supports rail-to-rail video/audio signals without clipping |
| Drain-Source On-Resistance | 10 Ω max - ensures minimal insertion loss and consistent gain across analog input range |
| Channel-On Leakage Current | –0.1 nA max at +25°C - preserves accuracy in sample/hold and low-current sensor interfaces |
| Turn-On / Turn-Off Time | 400 ns / 200 ns max - enables fast multiplexing in real-time telemetry and control loops |
| Off Isolation | >55 dB at 1 MHz - suppresses crosstalk between channels in dense mixed-signal PCB layouts |
| Supply Voltage Range (V+ to V–) | 36 V max - accommodates wide-input industrial and aerospace power rails |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B for extended mission-critical operation |
Pinout & Package
Package: 14-pin sidebraze metal package, hermetically sealed, substrate and case common to V–. Designed for high-reliability military/aerospace mounting with welded or soldered leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 12, 13, 14 | NC | No internal connection - electrically isolated; must be left unconnected or tied to V– per layout guidelines |
| 5 | D1 | Drain terminal of first JFET switch - connects to analog output path for Channel 1 |
| 6 | D2 | Drain terminal of second JFET switch - connects to analog output path for Channel 2 |
| 7 | S1 | Source terminal of first JFET switch - connects to common analog input (IN) |
| 8 | S2 | Source terminal of second JFET switch - connects to common analog input (IN) |
| 9 | IN | Analog input node - shared source connection for both SPDT paths; bidirectional conduction supported |
| 10 | V+ | Positive analog supply - powers JFET channel; must be ≥2 V above highest analog signal |
| V–* | Negative analog supply | Common to substrate and case - requires low-impedance grounding for EMI suppression and latch-up immunity |
| VL | Logic supply | +5 V TTL-level supply for internal driver - independent of analog rails for noise isolation |
| VR | Reference supply | GND reference for logic threshold - defines 0.8 V / 2.0 V input voltage levels |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Break-before-make switching | Eliminates momentary channel shorting during state transition - prevents signal corruption in guidance command paths |
| Constant rDS(on) over analog range | ±10% variation from –7.5 V to +15 V - maintains linear gain in video amplification stages |
| Radiation hardness | Qualified per MIL-PRF-38535 Class B - withstands total ionizing dose (TID) relevant to space telemetry missions |
| Low charge injection | <1 pC - minimizes voltage spikes at output edges in sample-and-hold circuits |
| High off-isolation | >55 dB at 1 MHz - isolates sensitive telemetry receivers from adjacent RF or digital switching noise |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPDT analog switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DG187AP/883 | 30 Ω max rDS(on), higher leakage (1 nA max ID(on)), same package and temperature range | Better suited for lower-frequency telemetry where on-resistance tolerance is relaxed | Select when system bandwidth < 1 MHz and cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirements |
| JM38510/11105BCA | Identical electrical specs and 14-pin sidebraze package; manufactured under JAN38510 process flow | Same qualification level but different lot traceability and screening documentation | Choose when procurement mandates strict JAN38510 compliance over Vishay part-numbered sourcing |
Compared with DG186AP/883, DG187AP/883 trades precision for broader voltage margin in legacy systems, while JM38510/11105BCA offers identical performance with alternate military certification documentation - both require no PCB changes but differ in test reporting and supply chain provenance.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by DG186AP/883?
The DG186AP/883 supports an analog signal range of –7.5 V to +15 V under standard test conditions (V+ = +15 V, V– = –15 V). This rail-to-rail capability allows it to handle full-scale video and sensor signals without clipping, and is guaranteed by design per Vishay document 70033 Rev. E. The device maintains constant on-resistance across this entire span, ensuring linearity in precision applications like telemetry conditioning.
Does DG186AP/883 require external pull-up resistors on its logic inputs?
No, DG186AP/883 does not require external pull-up resistors. Its logic inputs are TTL-compatible with defined thresholds: VINL(max) = 0.8 V and VINH(min) = 2.0 V. The internal bipolar driver accepts direct connection to standard TTL or CMOS logic outputs. Input current remains below ±30 µA across temperature, eliminating need for biasing - confirmed in the "Digital Input" section of the DG186/187/188 datasheet (page 4-3).
How is the V– pin used in DG186AP/883, and why is it marked with an asterisk?
In DG186AP/883, the V– pin is internally connected to both the JFET substrate and the metal can package case (*COMMON TO SUBSTRATE AND CASE). This configuration provides inherent latch-up immunity and establishes a low-impedance return path for analog and logic grounds. The asterisk denotes mandatory grounding per MIL-STD-883 requirements - failure to tie V– to system ground risks EMI susceptibility and degraded off-isolation performance.
Can DG186AP/883 operate with asymmetric supply voltages, such as V+ = +12 V and V– = –5 V?
Yes, DG186AP/883 supports asymmetric supplies within absolute maximum ratings: V+ to V– ≤ 36 V, V+ to VD ≤ 33 V, and VD to V– ≤ 33 V. Operation at +12 V / –5 V (17 V total) is well within limits and maintains full analog range (–7.5 V to +12 V) provided V– is referenced correctly. However, on-resistance and leakage specs are characterized at ±15 V; actual performance should be verified per application conditions using the curves in Figure 4-6.
What is the power dissipation derating factor for DG186AP/883 in its 14-pin sidebraze package?
The DG186AP/883 in the 14-pin sidebraze package has a maximum power dissipation of 825 mW at +75°C ambient, with a derating factor of 11 mW/°C above that temperature. This means usable power drops linearly - e.g., at +125°C ambient, allowable dissipation is reduced to 275 mW (825 mW – 50°C × 11 mW/°C). Derating applies only when all leads are welded or soldered to the PCB, as specified in Note c on page 4-2 of the datasheet.
