Product details
Overview
DG2038DS-T1-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a dual SPST analog switch optimized for low-voltage, low-rON signal routing in portable electronics. It operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, delivers 3.0 Ω typical on-resistance at 2.7 V, switches in 12 ns, injects only 10 pC charge, and is packaged in SOT23-8 - enabling high-accuracy signal path control in battery-powered test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the DG2038DS-T1-E3 datasheet, DG2038DS-T1-E3 pinout, DG2038DS-T1-E3 application, or DG2038DS-T1-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its active-low logic control (IN = 0 → switch ON), NC-type configuration (normally closed), guaranteed rON flatness ≤0.5 Ω, and -40 °C to +85 °C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The DG2038DS-T1-E3 implements a dual monolithic CMOS analog switch with normally closed (NC) topology per channel: IN1 controls NC1–COM1, and IN2 controls NC2–COM2. Each channel conducts bidirectionally when enabled and blocks signals up to the supply rail when disabled.
It uses Vishay's high-density low-voltage process with an epitaxial layer to prevent latchup. Control inputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible, with VINL ≤ 0.4 V (at V+ = 3 V) and VINH ≥ 1.5 V, ensuring robust digital interface across 1.8–5.5 V supply operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 2.7 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic/system rails without level shifting. |
| On-Resistance (rON) | 3.0 Ω typ at V+ = 2.7 V - minimizes signal attenuation and distortion in precision analog paths such as sensor front-ends. |
| Charge Injection (QINJ) | 10 pC max - ensures sub-LSB error in 12-bit+ sample-and-hold circuits with 1 nF hold capacitors. |
| Switching Time (tON/tOFF) | 12 ns typ - enables multiplexing of >30 MHz analog signals with minimal timing skew between channels. |
| Off-Leakage Current | ±10 nA max at 85 °C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance DC-coupled signal chains (e.g., thermocouple amplifiers). |
| Logic Polarity | Active-low - IN = 0 V turns switch ON; simplifies direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs without inverters. |
| Channel Configuration | Dual NC (Normally Closed) - provides fail-safe closed-path behavior during power loss or logic reset. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-8 package: 3.0 mm × 1.7 mm footprint, 1.3 mm height, surface-mount, lead-free (RoHS-compliant), thermal pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN1) | Digital control input for Channel 1 | Active-low logic: drives NC1–COM1 closed when pulled ≤0.4 V (V+ = 3 V). |
| 2 (NC1) | Normally closed analog terminal, Channel 1 | Connected to COM1 when IN1 = low; open-circuited when IN1 = high. |
| 3 (V+) | Positive supply rail | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V; powers internal CMOS switch core and level-shifting circuitry. |
| 4 (COM1) | Common analog node, Channel 1 | Bidirectional signal path shared between NC1 and NC2; must remain within 0–V+ range. |
| 5 (NC2) | Normally closed analog terminal, Channel 2 | Connected to COM2 when IN2 = low; electrically isolated when IN2 = high. |
| 6 (IN2) | Digital control input for Channel 2 | Independent active-low control; no crosstalk or timing dependency with IN1. |
| 7 (COM2) | Common analog node, Channel 2 | Isolated from COM1; supports independent dual-channel signal routing. |
| 8 (GND) | Ground reference | Analog and digital ground return; must be low-impedance and tied to system AGND/DGND plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low rON flatness (≤0.5 Ω) | Ensures consistent gain and linearity across full analog signal swing (0–V+), critical for audio and sensor conditioning. |
| Matched rON (≤0.3 Ω between channels) | Enables precise differential signal switching with <0.01% gain mismatch in instrumentation amplifier front-ends. |
| 17 pF source-off capacitance (CNC/OFF) | Minimizes feedthrough and crosstalk in high-frequency multiplexed systems (e.g., RF test set signal routing). |
| Epitaxial latchup immunity | Guarantees robust operation under transient overvoltage or ESD events without destructive latchup. |
| 1.0 µA max supply current | Reduces quiescent power in always-on monitoring circuits - e.g., battery voltage supervision with periodic ADC sampling. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the logic polarity of DG2038DS-T1-E3, and how does it affect system interface design?
The DG2038DS-T1-E3 uses active-low logic: applying 0 V (or ≤0.4 V at V+ = 3 V) to IN1 or IN2 closes the respective NC–COM switch path. This eliminates need for external inverters when driven directly by microcontroller GPIOs configured as open-drain or push-pull with low-active output. The DG2038DS-T1-E3 truth table confirms "Logic 0 = On", simplifying firmware control sequences in battery-powered devices.
Does DG2038DS-T1-E3 support rail-to-rail analog signal switching, and what are the voltage limits?
Yes, the DG2038DS-T1-E3 supports rail-to-rail analog signal switching: analog voltages on NC, COM, or NO pins may range from 0 V to V+, provided V+ stays within 1.8 V to 5.5 V. Absolute maximum ratings specify -0.3 V to (V+ + 0.3 V) on analog terminals, with internal clamping diodes limiting excursion. For safe operation, keep all analog signals strictly within 0–V+ - the DG2038DS-T1-E3 guarantees specified rON and leakage only within this range.
How does the DG2038DS-T1-E3 achieve latchup immunity, and is external protection required?
The DG2038DS-T1-E3 incorporates an epitaxial layer in its silicon process to prevent parasitic SCR formation - a documented latchup mitigation technique verified across -40 °C to +85 °C. No external protection (e.g., series resistors or TVS) is required for latchup prevention under normal operation. However, per datasheet Note a, forward diode current must be limited to rated maxima if analog signals exceed V+ or go below GND - the DG2038DS-T1-E3 itself remains latchup-immune under those stressed conditions.
Can DG2038DS-T1-E3 be used in AC-coupled signal paths, and what is its off-isolation performance?
Yes, the DG2038DS-T1-E3 is suitable for AC-coupled paths, delivering -61 dB off-isolation (OIRR) at 1 MHz with 50 Ω source/load and 5 pF capacitance. Its 17 pF NC-off capacitance and 19 pF COM-off capacitance minimize feedthrough above 100 kHz. For high-fidelity audio or IF routing, the DG2038DS-T1-E3 achieves -67 dB crosstalk, ensuring channel separation exceeds 16-bit dynamic range requirements without additional shielding.
What is the thermal derating behavior of DG2038DS-T1-E3 in SOT23-8 package?
In SOT23-8 package, the DG2038DS-T1-E3 has a thermal resistance θJA of 250 °C/W (typical), with power dissipation derated linearly above 25 °C at 6.5 mW/°C. At 85 °C ambient, maximum allowable power drops to ~220 mW - well above its 5.5 µW typical operating consumption. This margin ensures stable DG2038DS-T1-E3 performance even in sealed enclosures with minimal airflow, provided PCB copper area meets Vishay's recommended layout guidelines.
