Product details
Overview
DG201ADY from Maxim Integrated is a quad SPST normally closed analog switch IC designed for high-voltage signal routing in precision analog systems. It operates over ±4.5V to ±18V dual supplies, delivers 115Ω typical RDS(ON) at ±15V, achieves 450ns max turn-off time, and supports analog signal ranges from –15V to +15V - enabling use in military radios and test equipment requiring robust fault tolerance.
For engineers reviewing the DG201ADY datasheet, DG201ADY pinout, DG201ADY application, or DG201ADY equivalent, this page provides verified switching timing, leakage current specs, SO package dimensions, logic-compatible control interface, and validated alternatives for ±15V analog multiplexing designs.
Technical Context
The DG201ADY implements four independent CMOS SPST switches with guaranteed break-before-make operation and nonlatching behavior when power supplies are disconnected while analog signals remain present. Its monolithic design eliminates the VL supply required by legacy equivalents, simplifying system power architecture.
Switching is controlled by TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs (IN1–IN4), each driving one channel's gate directly. The device maintains low charge injection (20pC) and high OFF-isolation (70dB), critical for minimizing crosstalk and signal corruption in multi-channel instrumentation front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | –15V to +15V - supports full-rail bipolar signal switching without clipping in ±15V systems. |
| RDS(ON) (max) | 175Ω at VD = ±10V, IS = 1mA - ensures minimal insertion loss and gain error in precision signal paths. |
| Turn-Off Time (tOFF) | 450ns max - enables fast channel switching in automated test equipment scan cycles. |
| OFF-Leakage Current | ±5.0nA max (S/D terminals) - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and sample-hold circuits. |
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±18V continuous - accommodates industrial, military, and telecom power rails without external regulation. |
| OFF-Isolation | 70dB at 100kHz - suppresses inter-channel interference in multi-signal acquisition systems. |
| Charge Injection | 20pC - limits voltage glitch on sampled nodes, critical for low-error ADC driver stages. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin SO (Small Outline Integrated Circuit), JEDEC MS-012, body width 3.9mm, lead pitch 1.27mm, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8, 9, 16 | IN1–IN4 | Digital control inputs; active-high logic turns respective switch ON (closed). |
| 2, 7, 10, 15 | D1–D4 | Drain terminals - analog output side of each SPST switch, connected to load or downstream circuitry. |
| 3, 6, 11, 14 | S1–S4 | Source terminals - analog input side of each SPST switch, connected to signal sources or sensors. |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply rail - must be connected to system −VEE; substrate reference for NMOS portion. |
| 5 | GND | Digital ground reference - ties logic threshold and internal bias networks. |
| 12 | N.C. | No internal connection - left unconnected; no routing or thermal tie required. |
| 13 | V+ | Positive supply rail - connects to system +VCC; also tied to substrate for PMOS portion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No VL supply required | Eliminates third power rail, reducing BOM count and PCB layout complexity versus legacy DG211. |
| Guaranteed break-before-make | Prevents momentary short-circuit between channels during switching - essential for safe multiplexer sequencing. |
| Nonlatching under signal-present power-off | Withstands input signals up to ±15V even when V+ and V− are disconnected - protects against system-level fault conditions. |
| CMOS/TTL logic compatibility | Accepts 0.8V/2.4V logic thresholds across full temperature range - interoperable with microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters. |
| Low power consumption | I+ ≤ 0.1mA and I− ≤ 0.1mA (all channels ON/OFF) - extends battery life in portable test instruments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4617ESE+ | Single-supply only (up to +36V), no negative rail support; 400Ω RDS(ON) min; no guaranteed break-before-make. | Limited to unipolar signal routing; unsuitable for ±15V systems or bipolar sensor interfaces. | Select only if design uses single +12V/+24V supply and does not require bipolar analog range or fault-safe power-down behavior. |
| ADG1414BRUZ | ±15V rated, 1.8Ω RDS(ON), but requires VL bias (2.7V–5.5V); 16-pin TSSOP only; no SO option. | Superior ON-resistance but adds power domain complexity; incompatible pinout and package footprint vs. DG201ADY. | Choose when ultra-low RDS(ON) is critical and VL supply is available; not drop-in replaceable due to pinout and bias requirements. |
Compared with MAX4617ESE+ and ADG1414BRUZ, the DG201ADY uniquely combines true dual-supply ±18V operation, guaranteed break-before-make, no VL supply, and SO package availability - making it the only validated choice for legacy-compatible, fault-resilient ±15V analog multiplexing where layout reuse and supply simplicity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for DG201ADY?
The DG201ADY is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C, matching its "E" grade designation in Maxim's ordering table. This extended industrial temperature range ensures reliable performance in harsh environments such as vehicle-mounted test gear, airborne radios, and outdoor instrumentation - unlike the commercial-grade DG201AC which only supports 0°C to +70°C.
Does DG201ADY require a VL supply voltage?
No, the DG201ADY does not require a VL supply. Unlike earlier analog switches such as the DG211, Maxim eliminated the VL pin in the DG201A family. All logic and analog functions operate using only V+, V−, and GND - simplifying power design and reducing component count in systems where space and supply rails are constrained.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage supported by DG201ADY?
The DG201ADY supports analog signals from –15V to +15V when operated with ±15V supplies, as confirmed in its Electrical Characteristics table. This full-rail capability allows direct interfacing with op-amps, DACs, and sensors operating at standard industrial bipolar levels without attenuation or level-shifting circuitry.
Is DG201ADY pin-compatible with DG211 variants in SO package?
No, DG201ADY is not pin-compatible with DG211 variants. Although both use 16-pin SO packages, the DG211 includes a VL pin (pin 12), whereas DG201ADY uses pin 12 as N.C. Additionally, DG211 assigns IN1–IN4 to pins 1, 2, 3, 4, while DG201ADY places them on pins 1, 8, 9, 16 - requiring PCB layout changes for replacement.
What is the typical RDS(ON) of DG201ADY at ±12V supplies?
While the datasheet specifies RDS(ON) at ±15V (115Ω typ), the Typical RDS(ON) vs. Power Supplies chart shows ~160Ω at ±12V. This increase reflects MOSFET channel resistance dependence on VGS; designers should verify voltage drop and power dissipation in their specific ±12V application using this interpolated value.
