Product details
Overview
DG221BDY-E3 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 communication systems where latch-controlled channel selection is required.
For engineers reviewing the DG221BDY-E3 datasheet, DG221BDY-E3 pinout, DG221BDY-E3 application, or DG221BDY-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional analog switching capability, WR-controlled latch behavior, 20 mA continuous channel current rating, and SOIC-16 packaging with RoHS-compliant terminations.
Technical Context
The DG221BDY-E3 implements four independent SPST switches, each with transparent latching controlled by a shared WR (Write) input. Each switch responds to logic-level INx inputs (0 V or 2.4 V) while maintaining state when WR is high.
It integrates an on-chip 5 V regulator for TTL-compatible digital interface operation across wide supply ranges, and uses epitaxial isolation to prevent latchup. True bidirectional conduction in the on-state supports AC/DC analog signal routing without polarity constraints.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4617ESE+ | Single-supply operation (2.7–12 V), no negative rail required; 65 Ω on-resistance; no internal latches | Preferred for low-voltage, single-rail embedded systems lacking dual supplies | Select when system lacks ±15 V rails and latch functionality is implemented externally |
| ADG426BRUZ | 16-channel, serial SPI interface; 35 Ω on-resistance; requires external latch or controller | Used in high-channel-count systems where space and serial configurability outweigh latch convenience | Choose for scalable channel expansion beyond four paths, accepting added firmware overhead |
Compared with DG221BDY-E3, MAX4617ESE+ eliminates need for V– but sacrifices latch integration and bipolar signal handling; ADG426BRUZ offers higher channel density and digital interface flexibility at the cost of discrete latch management and larger package footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the DG221BDY-E3?
The DG221BDY-E3 supports an analog signal range of ±15 V when operated with V+ = +15 V and V– = –15 V. This range is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Specification section of the datasheet. The device maintains specified on-resistance and leakage performance across this full range, enabling bipolar signal switching in precision instrumentation applications. Operation at reduced ranges (e.g., ±10 V) is also supported with proportional performance retention.
Does the DG221BDY-E3 require external latching circuitry?
No, the DG221BDY-E3 does not require external latching circuitry. It integrates four independent on-chip latches, each controlled by the shared WR (Write) pin. When WR is pulsed low, the states of IN1–IN4 are latched and applied to the corresponding switches. While WR is high, the switch states remain static regardless of INx changes. This internal latch architecture eliminates the need for external flip-flops or memory elements in µP-based control designs.
What is the function of the on-chip 5 V regulator in the DG221BDY-E3?
The on-chip 5 V regulator in the DG221BDY-E3 powers the internal digital logic circuitry, ensuring TTL-compatible input thresholds (0.8 V low, 2.4 V high) even when analog supplies vary. It decouples digital interface operation from analog rail stability, allowing reliable control across wide V+/V– tolerances without external level shifters. This regulator is intrinsic to the DG221BDY-E3 design and requires no external components or bypass capacitors beyond standard power supply decoupling.
Can the DG221BDY-E3 be used with single-supply systems?
The DG221BDY-E3 is designed for dual-supply operation (V+, V–, GND) and requires both positive and negative analog rails to achieve its specified ±15 V signal range and internal biasing. While it may function with V– = 0 V in limited cases, doing so violates Absolute Maximum Ratings (e.g., "Voltages Referenced V+ to V–" limit of 34 V) and degrades key parameters including off-leakage, on-resistance matching, and charge injection. For true single-supply applications, alternative parts like the MAX4617ESE+ should be selected instead of the DG221BDY-E3.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the DG221BDY-E3 in SOIC package?
The DG221BDY-E3 in SOIC package has a power dissipation derating of 7.7 mW/°C above +75 °C ambient, as specified in Note c of the datasheet. Its maximum rated power dissipation is 600 mW at ≤+75 °C. Above that temperature, allowable power must be linearly reduced: for example, at +100 °C ambient, maximum dissipation drops to 600 mW – (25 °C × 7.7 mW/°C) = 407.5 mW. This derating ensures safe junction temperature operation and long-term reliability under sustained thermal stress.
