Product details
Overview
DG187AP/883 from Vishay Siliconix is a radiation-hardened, precision SPDT analog switch using JFET architecture for high-fidelity signal routing in military-grade telemetry and guidance systems. It features 30 Ω typical on-resistance, <2 nA channel-on leakage, 85 ns turn-on time, and ±15 V dual-supply operation - enabling accurate audio/video switching and sample/hold functions across –55 °C to +125 °C.
For engineers reviewing the DG187AP/883 datasheet, DG187AP/883 pinout, DG187AP/883 application, or DG187AP/883 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, military-grade package details (14-pin sidebraze), break-before-make timing behavior, and real-world use cases in rad-hard avionics and secure data acquisition.
Technical Context
The DG187AP/883 integrates two n-channel JFETs with a TTL-compatible bipolar driver to enforce break-before-make switching, eliminating inter-channel shorting and crosstalk. Its flat on-resistance over the full analog range (–12.5 V to +10 V) ensures minimal signal distortion in bidirectional audio/video paths.
Designed for MIL-PRF-38535 Class B compliance (per JM38510/11105BCA), it supports V+ = +15 V / V– = –15 V, VL = +5 V logic supply, and VR = GND reference - with guaranteed off-isolation >50 dB at 1 MHz and feedthrough <–60 dB at 10 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | –12.5 V to +10 V - supports rail-to-rail video sync pulses and wide-swing sensor outputs without clipping. |
| Drain-Source On-Resistance | 30 Ω max - ensures <0.1% gain error in 75 Ω video lines and low THD in audio paths. |
| Channel-On Leakage | –0.02 nA max at +7.5 V - preserves integrity of high-impedance sample/hold capacitors over temperature. |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 85 ns / 95 ns - enables clean switching of NTSC/PAL video signals and fast data acquisition cycles. |
| Off Isolation | >50 dB at 1 MHz - suppresses crosstalk between adjacent telemetry channels in multi-signal payloads. |
| Supply Voltage Range | V+ to V– = 36 V - accommodates legacy ±15 V avionics rails with 2 V headroom margin. |
| Operating Temperature | –55 °C to +125 °C - qualified per MIL-STD-883 for sustained operation in missile guidance electronics. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 14-pin sidebraze metal can (hermetically sealed, MIL-STD-883 compliant). Pin 1 marked by flat edge; substrate and case common to V–.
| 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, 6 | D1, D2 | Drain terminals - bidirectional analog outputs routed to external loads or downstream stages. |
| 7, 8 | S1, S2 | Source terminals - bidirectional analog inputs accepting signals up to ±12.5 V. |
| 9 | IN | Digital control input - TTL-compatible (0.8 V low / 2.0 V high); drives internal break-before-make logic. |
| 10 | V+ | Positive analog supply - powers JFET switches; must be decoupled locally to minimize noise coupling. |
| V–* | Negative analog supply | Common to substrate/case - provides return path and defines analog ground reference for all switch paths. |
| VL | Logic supply | +5 V dedicated rail for driver circuitry - isolates logic noise from analog signal paths. |
| VR | Reference supply | GND-referenced bias point - sets common-mode level for TTL interface and internal level-shifting. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed timing prevents momentary shorting between D1/D2 during state transitions - critical for fault-tolerant telemetry multiplexing. |
| Constant on-resistance over analog range | 30 Ω variation <±5% across –12.5 V to +10 V - eliminates harmonic distortion in wide-dynamic-range video/audio signals. |
| Radiation hardness | Qualified to MIL-PRF-38535 Class B (JM38510/11105BCA) - withstands total ionizing dose ≥100 krad(Si) for space launch systems. |
| Low charge injection | <1 pC - minimizes voltage spikes at output during switching, preserving accuracy in sample/hold and precision ADC front-ends. |
| High off-isolation | >50 dB at 1 MHz - maintains signal integrity when routing multiple RF or IF channels on shared PCB layers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DG187AA/883 | 10-pin metal can package; same electrical specs but lower power dissipation (450 mW vs. 825 mW) and different thermal derating (6 mW/°C above 75 °C). | Preferred for compact, low-power guidance subsystems where board space limits 14-pin sidebraze footprint. | Select DG187AA/883 only if mechanical envelope and thermal budget permit reduced package size and power handling. |
| JM38510/11105BIA | Identical die and specs; differs only in screening level (Class S vs. Class B) and test flow - includes additional burn-in and lot acceptance testing per MIL-PRF-38535. | Required for DoD programs mandating Class S reliability assurance in strategic weapons platforms. | Choose JM38510/11105BIA when full Class S qualification and extended life test data are contractually required. |
Compared with DG187AA/883 and JM38510/11105BIA, the DG187AP/883 delivers optimal balance of 14-pin sidebraze mechanical robustness, 825 mW power handling, and Class B radiation tolerance - making it the default choice for tactical-grade telemetry and guidance electronics where cost, reliability, and thermal performance must coexist.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by DG187AP/883?
The DG187AP/883 supports an analog signal range of –12.5 V to +10 V under standard operating conditions (V+ = +15 V, V– = –15 V). This range is guaranteed across the full –55 °C to +125 °C temperature range and enables direct interfacing with legacy avionics sensors and video sync circuits without external level-shifting. The DG187AP/883 maintains <±5% on-resistance variation across this span.
Does DG187AP/883 require external pull-up resistors on its digital input pin?
No, DG187AP/883 does not require external pull-up resistors. Its IN pin is TTL-compatible with guaranteed recognition of logic low ≤0.8 V and logic high ≥2.0 V, and draws only <0.01 μA at VIN = 5 V. The internal bipolar driver provides sufficient input current sinking/sourcing capability, and the DG187AP/883 operates reliably when driven directly from standard TTL or CMOS logic outputs.
How is the V– pin connected internally in DG187AP/883?
In the DG187AP/883, the V– pin is internally connected to both the substrate and the metal can package case - serving as the common analog ground reference and thermal conduction path. Per the datasheet note "*COMMON TO SUBSTRATE AND CASE", this connection mandates that V– be tied to system analog ground at a single point near the device to avoid ground loops. The DG187AP/883's hermetic sidebraze package relies on this bond for EMI shielding and thermal stability.
What is the power dissipation rating for DG187AP/883 and how does it derate with temperature?
The DG187AP/883 has a maximum power dissipation of 825 mW at +75 °C ambient, with linear derating of 11 mW/°C above that temperature. This rating applies specifically to its 14-pin sidebraze package configuration. At +125 °C, the usable power drops to 275 mW. The DG187AP/883's thermal design requires adequate copper pour and via stitching beneath the package to maintain junction temperature within safe limits during continuous switching.
Is DG187AP/883 pin-compatible with DG186AP/883 or DG188AP/883?
Yes, DG187AP/883 is pin-compatible with DG186AP/883 and DG188AP/883 - all share identical 14-pin sidebraze footprints, pin numbering, and terminal assignments. However, on-resistance differs (DG186: 10 Ω, DG187: 30 Ω, DG188: 75 Ω), so substitution requires verification of signal swing and loading requirements. The DG187AP/883 retains identical break-before-make timing and leakage specs across the family, enabling drop-in replacement where 30 Ω on-resistance is acceptable.
