Product details
Overview
DG2018DN-T1-E4 from Vishay Siliconix is a low-voltage dual DPDT analog switch IC operating from 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply, featuring 6 Ω on-resistance at 2.7 V, 180 MHz bandwidth, and QFN-16 (3 × 3 mm) package. It routes bidirectional analog/digital signals in portable audio/video systems with brake-before-make switching and ±50 mA continuous current handling.
For engineers reviewing the DG2018DN-T1-E4 datasheet, DG2018DN-T1-E4 pinout, DG2018DN-T1-E4 application, or DG2018DN-T1-E4 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual DPDT topology, 42 ns turn-on time at 3 V, 1.4 V logic-high threshold for IN1/IN2, guaranteed break-before-make timing, and low 1.46 pC charge injection - critical for precision signal routing in battery-powered instrumentation.
Technical Context
The DG2018DN-T1-E4 implements two independent SPDT switch pairs controlled by separate IN1/IN2 and IN3/IN4 inputs, each enabling NC/NO path selection with COM as common terminal. Its submicron CMOS process ensures symmetric conduction in both directions and latch-up immunity via epitaxial layer.
Each DPDT section guarantees break-before-make operation with ≤1 ns transition interval and supports rail-to-rail analog signal ranges (0 V to V+). The device operates with 0.5 V logic-low and 1.4 V logic-high thresholds at 3 V supply, and exhibits 9 pF input capacitance and 30 pF channel-on capacitance - optimized for high-fidelity signal integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - enables direct interface with 1.8 V, 2.7 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic and analog rails |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 6 Ω at V+ = 2.7 V - minimizes voltage drop and power loss in signal paths carrying up to ±50 mA |
| Bandwidth | 180 MHz - supports high-speed video (e.g., VGA, SDTV), USB 1.1, and audio sampling up to 96 kHz without attenuation |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 42 ns / 16 ns at V+ = 3 V - enables fast multiplexing in real-time sensor or ADC/DAC channel switching |
| Charge Injection | −1.46 pC - reduces glitch-induced error in precision sample-and-hold or switched-capacitor circuits |
| Off-Isolation | −67 dB at 1 MHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive channels in multi-source routing applications |
| Logic Thresholds | VINH = 1.4 V, VINL = 0.5 V at V+ = 3 V - ensures compatibility with 1.8 V CMOS outputs without level shifting |
Pinout & Package
Package: QFN-16 (3 mm × 3 mm, 0.9 mm height), thermally enhanced with exposed pad; RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 12, 11, 10 | NC1–NC4, NO1–NO4 | Normally closed and normally open switch terminals - routed to external signal sources/sinks per DPDT configuration |
| 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16 | COM1–COM4, IN1–IN4, V+, GND | Common analog paths, digital control inputs, power supply, and ground - COM pins serve as bidirectional signal hubs; IN pins accept 1.8 V logic |
| 7 | No connect | Internally unused terminal - must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Brake-before-make switching | Guaranteed ≤1 ns dead time prevents momentary shorting between NC and NO paths during state transitions |
| Rail-to-rail analog range | Supports 0 V to V+ signal swing - enables full utilization of ADC/DAC dynamic range without clipping |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual DPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4688EUB+ | Higher 12 Ω RON at 3 V; 100 MHz bandwidth; requires ≥2.7 V supply; no VL pin | Limited to higher-supply systems; less suitable for 1.8 V logic interfaces | Select when higher voltage margin and lower cost outweigh bandwidth/on-resistance requirements |
| ADG732BRUZ | 32-channel single-pole switch; 4 Ω RON at 3 V; SPI interface; larger TSSOP-48 package | Designed for high-channel-count, digitally controlled routing - not pin-compatible or functionally equivalent | Choose only for scalable, software-configurable multiplexing where board space permits larger footprint |
Compared with DG2018DN-T1-E4, MAX4688EUB+ trades bandwidth and low-voltage logic compatibility for cost and availability, while ADG732BRUZ offers channel density and digital control at the expense of analog simplicity, package size, and direct GPIO drive capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by DG2018DN-T1-E4?
The DG2018DN-T1-E4 supports analog signals from 0 V to V+ across all NC, NO, and COM terminals. When V+ is supplied at 3.3 V, the device passes signals from 0 V to 3.3 V without clipping or distortion. This rail-to-rail capability ensures full dynamic range utilization in ADC input conditioning and audio line-level switching applications involving the DG2018DN-T1-E4.
Does DG2018DN-T1-E4 require a separate VL reference pin like DG2019DN?
No, DG2018DN-T1-E4 does not include a VL pin. Its control inputs (IN1–IN4) operate with fixed logic thresholds: VINH = 1.4 V and VINL = 0.5 V at V+ = 3 V. Unlike the DG2019DN, which uses an external VL pin to set a 1.0 V threshold, the DG2018DN-T1-E4 relies on internal threshold design for 1.8 V logic compatibility - simplifying layout and eliminating the need for an auxiliary reference voltage.
What is the thermal derating behavior of DG2018DN-T1-E4 above 70 °C?
The DG2018DN-T1-E4 has a thermal derating factor of 4.0 mW/°C above 70 °C ambient temperature. Its QFN-16 package delivers 850 mW power dissipation at ≤70 °C; above that, allowable power drops linearly - e.g., at 85 °C, max dissipation is reduced to 790 mW. This derating ensures reliable operation in sealed portable enclosures where passive cooling is limited, preserving long-term performance of the DG2018DN-T1-E4.
Can DG2018DN-T1-E4 be used in bidirectional signal paths such as I²C or UART lines?
No, DG2018DN-T1-E4 is not recommended for I²C or UART signal switching. Although it conducts bidirectionally when on, its 9 pF input capacitance and lack of integrated pull-up/pull-down control can distort rise/fall times and violate timing budgets in open-drain or push-pull digital protocols. The DG2018DN-T1-E4 is optimized for analog and low-speed digital signal routing - not protocol-aware digital bus switching.
How is break-before-make timing guaranteed in DG2018DN-T1-E4?
Break-before-make timing in DG2018DN-T1-E4 is guaranteed by internal circuit design and characterized at ≤1 ns across −40 °C to +85 °C. This ensures no overlap between NC and NO conduction states during switching, preventing momentary shorts in applications like relay replacement or signal source isolation. The guarantee applies to all four SPDT sections within the DG2018DN-T1-E4 and is verified per functional test, not just typical simulation.
