Product details
Overview
DG221BDY-T1 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 and bidirectional analog switching are required.
For engineers reviewing the DG221BDY-T1 datasheet, DG221BDY-T1 pinout, DG221BDY-T1 application, or DG221BDY-T1 equivalent, key selection criteria include latch-enabled memory-mapped control, true bidirectional analog path performance, low leakage (±0.02 nA drain off-leakage), and SOIC-16 packaging compatible with automated PCB assembly.
Technical Context
The DG221BDY-T1 implements four independent SPST switches, each controlled by a dedicated input (IN1–IN4) and a shared WR (Write) line that latches control states. Its on-chip 5 V regulator enables stable TTL-compatible logic interface despite wide supply rails (V+ = +15 V, V− = −15 V).
Each switch supports true bidirectional analog conduction with 20 mA continuous current handling, epitaxial layer latchup protection, and clamped I/O (V− −2 V to V+ +2 V). Switching times are specified at 550 ns turn-on and 340 ns turn-off under standard test conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15 V - supports full-rail bipolar signal switching without clipping |
| rDS(on) Typical | 60 Ω - ensures minimal insertion loss and distortion in precision analog paths |
| ID(off) Max | ±0.02 nA - enables high-impedance signal integrity in medical and instrumentation front-ends |
| tON / tOFF | 550 ns / 340 ns - meets timing requirements for µP-bus synchronized switching |
| Write Pulse Width Min | 150 ns - compatible with standard 8-bit microprocessor bus cycles |
| Supply Current (I+, I−) | 1.5 mA / −0.4 mA - low power consumption suitable for battery-backed or multi-channel systems |
| Charge Injection | 20 pC - limits voltage glitch in sample-and-hold and multiplexed ADC applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin narrow SOIC (JEDEC MS-012), body width 3.9 mm, lead pitch 1.27 mm, RoHS-compliant lead-free termination (T1 suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 (IN1–IN4) | Digital control inputs | Active-low logic selects ON/OFF state of corresponding switch when WR = 0 |
| 5, 6, 13, 14 (S1–S4) | Switch source terminals | Analog input/output nodes; bidirectional conduction when switch is ON |
| 7, 8, 11, 12 (D1–D4) | Switch drain terminals | Analog input/output nodes; electrically identical to Sx in ON state |
| 9 (V−) | Negative analog supply | Bias reference for analog channel operation; must be ≤ V+ − 34 V |
| 10 (WR) | Write enable/latch control | Low level captures INx states; high level holds last latched configuration |
| 15, 16 (V+, GND) | Positive supply and ground | V+ powers analog core and internal 5 V regulator; GND is digital/analog common reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Latch-enabled memory mapping | Four switches addressed as one byte via WR + IN1–IN4, enabling single-cycle µP write for simultaneous channel control |
| True bidirectional analog path | No polarity dependence - S/D terminals interchangeable in ON state, preserving signal fidelity in AC-coupled paths |
| On-chip 5 V regulator | Maintains TTL-compatible logic thresholds across wide V+/V− ranges, eliminating external level-shifting circuitry |
| Epitaxial latchup protection | Prevents destructive parasitic SCR activation during overvoltage transients or rail sequencing |
| Clamped I/O structure | Internal diodes limit S/D/IN pins to V− −2 V / V+ +2 V, simplifying ESD protection design |
Applications
| Medical Instrumentation | Data Acquisition Systems |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Multiplexing sensor signals (ECG, EEG, pressure transducers) into a shared ADC channel with minimal crosstalk and offset error. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision analog switch providing channel isolation and low-charge-injection signal routing under µP control.

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 only (up to +12 V), no negative rail support; 65 Ω rDS(on); no on-chip regulator | Not suitable for bipolar ±15 V signal routing; requires external level shifters for TTL interface | Select when system uses only positive supplies and lower cost is prioritized over rail flexibility |
| ADG421BRZ | Quad SPST, ±15 V rated, but no latches; requires continuous logic drive; 45 Ω rDS(on) | Lacks memory mapping - unsuitable for µP-bus memory-mapped I/O without glue logic | Choose when latch functionality is unnecessary and lowest on-resistance is critical |
Compared with DG221BDY-T1, MAX4617ESE+ lacks bipolar supply capability and latch control, limiting use to unipolar systems; ADG421BRZ offers lower on-resistance but requires active logic drive per cycle, increasing µP resource load and timing complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the DG221BDY-T1?
The DG221BDY-T1 supports an analog signal range of ±15 V when operated with V+ = +15 V and V− = −15 V. This full-rail capability enables direct interfacing with bipolar sensors and op-amp outputs without external level shifting. The device maintains specified on-resistance and leakage performance across this entire range, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Specification tables of Vishay Document Number 71616.
Does the DG221BDY-T1 require external level-shifting circuitry for TTL-compatible control?
No, the DG221BDY-T1 does not require external level-shifting circuitry for TTL-compatible control. Its integrated 5 V on-chip regulator ensures logic thresholds (VINH ≥ 2.4 V, VINL ≤ 0.8 V) remain stable across its full analog supply range (V+ up to +15 V, V− down to −15 V). This feature is explicitly documented in the FEATURES and APPLICATION HINTS sections of the DG221BDY-T1 datasheet (Document Number 71616).
How does the WR pin function in the DG221BDY-T1, and what happens when it is held high?
The WR (Write) pin in the DG221BDY-T1 acts as a latch enable: when WR is low, the states of IN1–IN4 directly control the four switches; when WR goes high, the current INx states are latched and retained regardless of subsequent INx changes. Holding WR high maintains the last latched configuration - a behavior confirmed in the TRUTH TABLE and DESCRIPTION sections of the DG221BDY-T1 datasheet (Rev. B, 11-Feb-08).
What is the maximum continuous current rating per switch in the DG221BDY-T1?
The DG221BDY-T1 supports a maximum continuous current of 20 mA per switch (S or D terminal), as specified in the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS table of its datasheet (Document Number 71616). This rating applies under normal operating conditions with proper thermal derating above 25 °C (6.5 mW/°C) and above 75 °C (7.7 mW/°C), and is validated across the full –40 °C to +85 °C temperature range.
Is the DG221BDY-T1 pin-compatible with the DG221BDJ (DIP package) version?
Yes, the DG221BDY-T1 (SOIC-16) and DG221BDJ (16-pin plastic DIP) share identical pin functions and electrical specifications, differing only in package type and mechanical dimensions. The Pin Configuration diagram and FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM in Document Number 71616 confirm identical pin numbering and roles across both packages, making them functionally interchangeable in designs where board layout accommodates the respective footprints.
