Product details
Overview
DG212BDQ-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a quad single-pole single-throw (SPST) analog switch with normally open configuration, designed for precision signal routing in ±15 V dual-supply or +12 V single-supply systems. It delivers 50 Ω typical on-resistance, 1 pC charge injection, 120 ns turn-on time, and ±22 V absolute maximum analog signal range - enabling high-fidelity switching in sample-and-hold circuits and programmable gain amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the DG212BDQ-E3 datasheet, DG212BDQ-E3 pinout, DG212BDQ-E3 application, or DG212BDQ-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 30 mA continuous current per channel, true bi-directional conduction, latch-up immunity via epitaxial layer, and TSSOP-16 packaging optimized for space-constrained industrial instrumentation and test equipment layouts.
Technical Context
The DG212BDQ-E3 implements four independent CMOS transmission gates fabricated in Vishay's silicon gate process, each featuring matched rDS(on) ≤ 100 Ω over full temperature range and low leakage (±5 nA off-state). Its logic interface accepts TTL/CMOS levels (VINH ≥ 2.4 V, VINL ≤ 0.8 V) referenced to VL pin, supporting mixed-voltage system integration.
Charge injection compensation minimizes transient errors during switching, critical for precision acquisition paths. The device blocks signals up to supply rails in the off state and supports analog voltages from (V−) −2 V to (V+) +2 V, with internal clamping diodes limiting forward current to rated maxima.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15 V (dual supply) or 0–12 V (single supply): supports full-rail signal handling without clipping in precision measurement front-ends. |
| rDS(on) | 45–100 Ω (typ–max at ±15 V): ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in low-impedance sensor interfaces. |
| Charge Injection | 1 pC (typ): limits voltage step error in sample-and-hold capacitors ≤ 1000 pF to <1 mV at 1 V step. |
| tON/tOFF | 120 ns / 100 ns (typ): enables sub-microsecond multiplexing for multi-channel data acquisition at >500 kSPS. |
| Off-Leakage (IS(off)/ID(off)) | ±0.01 nA (max at 25 °C): preserves DC accuracy in high-impedance integrators and electrometer-grade circuits. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±4.5 V to ±22 V (dual), +4.5 V to +25 V (single): accommodates legacy ±15 V and modern low-voltage industrial rails. |
| Logic Supply (VL) | 5 V (required): decouples digital control from analog supplies, reducing noise coupling into sensitive analog paths. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package (JEDEC MS-012 compatible), 5.00 mm × 6.40 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.20 mm max height - optimized for automated assembly and thermal performance in dense PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5, 9, 13 | D1–D4 (Drain) | Analog output terminals; bidirectional signal path when switch is ON; rail-to-rail blocking when OFF. |
| 2, 6, 10, 14 | S1–S4 (Source) | Analog input terminals; electrically identical to drains; interchangeable in layout routing. |
| 3, 7, 11, 15 | IN1–IN4 (Control) | Active-high digital inputs; drive internal gate drivers; require 2.4 V min high-level for guaranteed ON state. |
| 4 | V+ | Positive analog supply; must be ≥ |V−| for symmetric operation; powers analog channel circuitry. |
| 8 | V− | Negative analog supply; sets lower analog rail; required for bipolar signal handling. |
| 12 | GND | Digital ground reference; separate from analog supplies to minimize noise coupling. |
| 16 | VL | Logic supply input; must be 5 V; isolates CMOS logic threshold from analog supply variations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Normally open (NO) configuration | Guarantees signal isolation at power-up and logic low, eliminating unintended analog path closure in fault conditions. |
| Epitaxial latch-up protection | Enables robust operation in noisy industrial environments without risk of destructive parasitic SCR activation. |
| Bi-directional analog conduction | Permits flexible signal flow direction per channel - simplifies PCB routing and supports both source- and sink-driven topologies. |
| Low 5 pF off-capacitance (CS(off)/CD(off)) | Maintains >90 dB off-isolation up to 100 kHz, critical for crosstalk-sensitive multi-channel multiplexers. |
| Single-supply compatibility | Operates from +4.5 V to +25 V with VL = 5 V, enabling direct integration into 5 V microcontroller-based systems without level shifters. |
Applications

| Automated Test Equipment (ATE) | Industrial Sensor Multiplexing |
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4618ESE+ | Higher rDS(on) (120 Ω typ), wider supply range (±20 V), but no VL pin - logic tied to V+. | Less suitable for mixed-voltage systems; requires level-shifting if controller runs at 3.3 V. | Select when ±20 V operation suffices and board space allows SOIC-16; avoid where 5 V logic isolation is mandatory. |
| ADG1412BRUZ | Lower rDS(on) (1.3 Ω typ), higher cost, requires external logic level translation for 5 V control. | Better for <100 mΩ RON needs (e.g., audio routing), but over-specified for industrial signal conditioning. | Choose only when sub-ohm on-resistance justifies premium cost and added design complexity. |
Compared with MAX4618ESE+ and ADG1412BRUZ, the DG212BDQ-E3 uniquely balances 50 Ω rDS(on), 1 pC charge injection, and dedicated 5 V VL pin - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, mixed-supply industrial instrumentation where precision and layout simplicity are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage the DG212BDQ-E3 can switch?
The DG212BDQ-E3 supports analog signals from (V−) −2 V to (V+) +2 V. With ±15 V supplies, this yields a usable range of ±17 V; its absolute maximum rating is ±22 V across V+ and V−, ensuring robustness against transient overvoltage events in industrial settings. This specification is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of Vishay Document 70040.
Does the DG212BDQ-E3 require a separate logic supply voltage?
Yes - the DG212BDQ-E3 requires a dedicated 5 V logic supply connected to the VL pin (Pin 16). This separates digital control thresholds from analog supply rails, preventing noise coupling and ensuring consistent 2.4 V logic-high recognition regardless of V+ or V− fluctuations. The VL pin is not optional and must be actively driven at 5 V.
Is the DG212BDQ-E3 pin-compatible with the original DG212?
No - the DG212BDQ-E3 is not pin-compatible with the legacy DG212. It belongs to the improved "B" revision (DG212B), which retains the same TSSOP-16 pinout as DG212BDQ but differs electrically: lower rDS(on), reduced leakage, faster switching, and enhanced charge injection compensation. Always verify against the DG212B-specific pin diagram in Document 70040.
Can the DG212BDQ-E3 operate from a single +12 V supply?
Yes - the DG212BDQ-E3 supports single-supply operation from +4.5 V to +25 V. When using +12 V, V− must be connected to GND (Pin 8 → Pin 12), V+ to +12 V (Pin 4), and VL to +5 V (Pin 16). Analog signal range becomes 0–12 V, with rDS(on) rising to 90–200 Ω (typ–max), as specified in the Single Supply Characteristics table.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the DG212BDQ-E3 above 75 °C?
Above 75 °C, the DG212BDQ-E3's power dissipation must be linearly derated at 7.6 mW/°C for TSSOP-16 packages. At 100 °C ambient, maximum allowable power drops to 640 mW − (25 °C × 7.6 mW/°C) = 450 mW. This ensures junction temperature remains within safe limits under sustained load, as defined in Note d of the Absolute Maximum Ratings section.
