Product details
Overview
DG221BDY from Vishay Siliconix is a quad SPST CMOS analog switch with integrated latches, designed for precision signal routing in µP-based systems. It features 60 Ω typical on-resistance, ±15 V analog signal range, 150 ns minimum write pulse width, and operates across –40 °C to +85 °C. Used in data acquisition and automatic test equipment for reliable bidirectional analog switching.
For engineers reviewing the DG221BDY datasheet, DG221BDY pinout, DG221BDY application, or DG221BDY equivalent, key selection criteria include latch-controlled simultaneous switching, true bidirectional conduction, low charge injection (20 pC), and compatibility with TTL-level digital control under wide supply tolerance.
Technical Context
The DG221BDY implements four independent SPST analog switches, each with a transparent latch controlled by a common WR (Write) input. Its on-chip 5 V regulator enables stable logic interface operation despite variations in V+ and V– supplies.
Each channel supports bidirectional analog signal flow with ≤135 Ω maximum rDS(on) over temperature, while internal clamping diodes protect against overvoltage transients on S/D/IN pins up to (V−) −2 V or (V+) +2 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15 V - supports full-rail bipolar signal switching without clipping |
| rDS(on) Max | 135 Ω - ensures minimal insertion loss and voltage drop at 20 mA load |
| Off-Isolation | 70 dB @ 100 kHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive channels in sensitive measurement paths |
| Charge Injection | 20 pC - limits voltage glitch on high-impedance nodes during switching |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 550 ns / 340 ns - enables fast multiplexing in real-time data acquisition |
| Supply Current | 1.5 mA max I+ - maintains low power consumption in multi-channel systems |
| Logic Input Thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.4 V - ensures robust noise margin with standard TTL/CMOS drivers |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin narrow SOIC (JEDEC MS-012), body width 3.9 mm, lead pitch 1.27 mm, RoHS-compliant (Pb-free terminations).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 | Latch data inputs | Control state of corresponding switch; low = ON, high = OFF when WR = 0 |
| WR | Write enable | Low enables transparent latching; high holds last state - enables memory-mapped I/O |
| S1–S4 | Switch source terminals | Bidirectional analog ports; connect to signal sources or loads |
| D1–D4 | Switch drain terminals | Bidirectional analog ports; paired with Sx to form SPST path |
| V+, V− | Analog supply rails | Support ±15 V operation; internal clamping protects against overvoltage |
| GND | Digital ground reference | Reference for WR and INx logic levels; separate from analog return paths |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip 5 V regulator | Stabilizes logic interface independently of V+/V−, enabling wide supply tolerance without compromising TTL compatibility |
| Independent latches per channel | Allows individual channel control while supporting byte-wide addressing via common WR for synchronized switching |
| Epitaxial layer construction | Prevents latchup under transient overvoltage or ESD stress, enhancing reliability in industrial environments |
| True bidirectional analog path | Enables signal routing in either direction without polarity constraints - critical for instrumentation front-ends |
| Low off-leakage current | ±100 nA max ID(off)/IS(off) - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and sample-hold circuits |

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+ | Higher rDS(on) (120 Ω typ), no on-chip regulator, requires external 3.3 V/5 V logic supply | Lacks integrated latch control; requires external shift register or GPIO for parallel control | Preferred where lower cost and smaller footprint outweigh need for latch memory and supply tolerance |
| ADG404BRZ | Lower rDS(on) (35 Ω typ), no latches, 12-bit compatible charge injection (15 pC), wider temp range (–40 °C to +125 °C) | Requires continuous digital control; unsuitable for memory-mapped I/O or hold-state operation | Selected when ultra-low on-resistance and extended temperature operation are prioritized over latch functionality |
Compared with MAX4617ESE+ and ADG404BRZ, the DG221BDY uniquely combines latch-based byte-wide addressing, on-chip regulation, and ±15 V analog capability - making it optimal for µP-controlled ATE and industrial DAQ where deterministic state retention and wide supply flexibility are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the DG221BDY?
The DG221BDY supports an analog signal range of ±15 V when operated with V+ = +15 V and V− = −15 V. This full-rail capability allows direct interfacing with bipolar sensor outputs and industrial signal standards without level-shifting circuitry. The DG221BDY internal clamping diodes protect against overvoltage transients up to (V−) −2 V or (V+) +2 V on any S, D, or IN pin.
Does the DG221BDY require external logic-level translation when used with 3.3 V microcontrollers?
No, the DG221BDY does not require external logic-level translation. Its on-chip 5 V regulator ensures TTL-compatible logic thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.4 V) regardless of V+/V− supply values. The DG221BDY accepts standard 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller outputs directly on IN1–IN4 and WR pins without additional buffering or level shifting.
How does the WR pin function in the DG221BDY, and what happens when it is held high?
The WR (Write) pin controls latch transparency: when WR is low, IN1–IN4 directly control switch states in real time; when WR is high, the DG221BDY holds the last latched state regardless of INx changes. This enables memory-mapped I/O behavior - the DG221BDY retains channel configuration during µP bus arbitration or firmware interrupts without external storage.
What is the typical on-resistance of the DG221BDY, and how does it vary with signal voltage?
The DG221BDY has a typical on-resistance of 60 Ω at ±10 V drain-source voltage and –10 mA current, with a maximum of 135 Ω over temperature and voltage range. Unlike voltage-dependent FET switches, the DG221BDY's rDS(on) remains stable across its ±15 V analog range due to its CMOS architecture and epitaxial isolation - ensuring consistent gain and linearity in precision attenuator and multiplexer designs.
Can the DG221BDY be used in bidirectional analog signal paths, and what design considerations apply?
Yes, the DG221BDY provides true bidirectional analog performance in the on state - signal flow is identical from S to D or D to S. Designers must ensure that V+ and V− remain within absolute maximum ratings relative to all connected nodes, and that external protection (e.g., series resistors) is added if S/D pins may experience transients exceeding (V−) −2 V or (V+) +2 V. The DG221BDY's low 20 pC charge injection further supports bidirectional use in sample-and-hold and switched-capacitor circuits.
