Product details
Overview
DG2038DQ-T1-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a dual SPST analog switch with complementary logic control (active-low), 3.0 Ω typical on-resistance at 2.7 V, 12 ns switching time, and 10 pC charge injection - designed for signal routing in low-voltage portable instrumentation and battery-powered communication systems.
For engineers reviewing the DG2038DQ-T1-E3 datasheet, DG2038DQ-T1-E3 pinout, DG2038DQ-T1-E3 application, or DG2038DQ-T1-E3 equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (MSOP-8), truth-table–confirmed active-low switching behavior, rON vs. VCOM performance curves, and direct alternatives with documented functional divergence.
Technical Context
The DG2038DQ-T1-E3 implements two independent single-pole/single-throw switches with NC (normally closed) topology and inverted digital control: logic low enables conduction, logic high disables. It operates across 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply, supports rail-to-rail analog signals (0 V to V+), and uses an epitaxial process to prevent latchup.
Each channel exhibits matched rON (0.3 Ω max mismatch at 2.7 V), flat rON over VCOM (0.5 Ω max variation), and ultra-low off-leakage (±10 nA at −40 °C to +85 °C), enabling precision sample-and-hold and multiplexing in noise-sensitive signal chains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - supports Li-ion, coin-cell, and 3.3 V/5 V system rails without level shifting |
| On-Resistance (rON) | 3.0 Ω typ @ 2.7 V - minimizes signal attenuation and gain error in precision analog paths |
| Switching Time (tON/tOFF) | 12 ns typ @ V+ = 3.3 V - enables >30 MHz multiplexed sampling without timing skew |
| Charge Injection (QINJ) | 10 pC max - reduces droop and settling error in sample-and-hold circuits |
| Off-Leakage Current | ±10 nA max @ 85 °C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS - interfaces directly with FPGA I/O, microcontroller GPIO, and ASIC control lines |
Pinout & Package
Package: MSOP-8 (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.0 mm), RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel (T1-E3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC1) | Normally Closed Terminal 1 | Conducts to COM1 when IN1 = low; open-circuit when IN1 = high |
| 2 (V+) | Positive Supply | Bias rail for analog and digital sections; must be decoupled near pin |
| 3 (COM1) | Common Terminal 1 | Analog signal path shared between NC1 and IN1; bidirectional conduction |
| 4 (IN1) | Digital Control Input 1 | Active-low enable for Channel 1; TTL/CMOS compatible threshold |
| 5 (IN2) | Digital Control Input 2 | Active-low enable for Channel 2; independent of IN1 |
| 6 (COM2) | Common Terminal 2 | Analog signal path shared between NC2 and IN2; isolated from COM1 |
| 7 (NC2) | Normally Closed Terminal 2 | Conducts to COM2 when IN2 = low; open-circuit when IN2 = high |
| 8 (GND) | Ground Reference | Analog and digital return; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4617EUA+ | Pin-compatible MSOP-8; 3.5 Ω rON @ 3 V; active-high logic (IN1/IN2 high = on) | Requires inverted control signals; higher rON increases gain error in precision bridges | Select when existing firmware drives active-high logic and rON tolerance >0.5 Ω |
| ADG708BRUZ | 8-channel mux (not dual SPST); 3.0 Ω rON; same 1.8–5.5 V range but no NC topology | Lacks normally-closed functionality; unsuitable for fail-safe default-closed paths | Select only for multi-input routing where NC behavior is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX4617EUA+ and ADG708BRUZ, the DG2038DQ-T1-E3 uniquely provides NC topology with active-low control, enabling hardware-level fail-safe operation without software intervention - critical for medical and industrial safety-critical signal paths.

FAQ
What is the logic polarity of DG2038DQ-T1-E3 control inputs?
The DG2038DQ-T1-E3 features active-low logic: applying a logic low (≤0.4 V at V+ = 3 V) to IN1 or IN2 closes the corresponding NC–COM switch, while a logic high (≥1.5 V) opens it. This is confirmed by the truth table in Vishay document 72359, Rev. B, which explicitly defines "0 = On" for DG2038. The DG2038DQ-T1-E3 maintains this behavior in its MSOP-8 package.
Does DG2038DQ-T1-E3 support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, DG2038DQ-T1-E3 supports rail-to-rail analog signals from 0 V to V+, as specified in the "Analog Signal Range" parameter (VNO, VNC, VCOM = 0 to V+) across −40 °C to +85 °C. This allows full-scale signal passage without clipping when V+ = 3.3 V or 5.0 V, making DG2038DQ-T1-E3 suitable for unipolar sensor interfaces and audio routing.
What is the maximum allowable analog voltage on NC or COM pins relative to V+?
Per Absolute Maximum Ratings in Vishay document 72359, analog voltages on NC, COM, or NO pins must not exceed V+ + 0.3 V. Voltages above this threshold forward-bias internal clamping diodes, requiring external current limiting to stay within ±50 mA continuous rating. This limit applies identically to DG2038DQ-T1-E3 in MSOP-8 packaging.
How does DG2038DQ-T1-E3 achieve latchup immunity?
DG2038DQ-T1-E3 uses Vishay Siliconix's proprietary high-density low-voltage CMOS process with an epitaxial layer that suppresses parasitic SCR formation. This structure is validated per JEDEC JESD78 and prevents latchup under worst-case transient conditions - a key reliability feature confirmed for all DG2037/2038/2039 variants including DG2038DQ-T1-E3.
Is DG2038DQ-T1-E3 pin-compatible with DG2037DQ or DG2039DQ?
No - DG2038DQ-T1-E3 is not pin-compatible with DG2037DQ or DG2039DQ despite identical MSOP-8 packaging. DG2037DQ uses NO (normally open) topology, DG2038DQ-T1-E3 uses NC (normally closed), and DG2039DQ combines one NO and one NC channel. Pin functions differ: e.g., Pin 1 is NO1 in DG2037DQ but NC1 in DG2038DQ-T1-E3. Substitution requires PCB layout revision.
