Product details
Overview
DG271AK from Vishay Siliconix is a high-speed quad SPST CMOS analog switch in 16-pin CerDIP package, featuring 55 ns turn-on time, 32 Ω rDS(on), 5 pC charge injection, and ±15 V dual supply operation. It serves as precision signal routing element in flight control systems and automatic test equipment where low leakage (50 pA) and fast settling are critical.
For engineers reviewing the DG271AK datasheet, DG271AK pinout, DG271AK application, or DG271AK equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, military-grade temperature range (–55°C to +125°C), package-specific thermal derating, and validated alternatives for high-reliability analog switching designs.
Technical Context
The DG271AK implements four independent single-pole single-throw analog switches using Vishay's high-voltage metal-gate CMOS process, enabling rail-to-rail analog signal handling from –15 V to +15 V. Its TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs accept logic thresholds of 0.8 V (low) and 2.4 V (high) across full temperature range.
Switching performance is optimized via low channel capacitance (CD(on) = 30 pF), high off-isolation (85 dB at 100 kHz), and minimal crosstalk (100 dB). Charge injection of 5 pC ensures accurate sample-and-hold operation without significant pedestal error.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| rDS(on) | 32 Ω typical at VD = 10 V, IS = 1 mA - enables low insertion loss in precision gain-switching circuits |
| tON / tOFF | 55 ns / 50 ns typical - supports >10 MHz switching in high-speed data acquisition paths |
| Charge Injection | 5 pC - limits voltage step error in sample/hold amplifiers with 1 nF hold capacitors |
| Off-Leakage Current | ±60 nA max over –55°C to +125°C - preserves DC accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces |
| Analog Signal Range | –15 V to +15 V - accommodates full dual-supply op amp output swing without clipping |
| Supply Voltage Range | V+ to V– = 44 V max - allows operation with ±15 V, ±12 V, or asymmetric rails up to +20 V/–24 V |
| Power Dissipation | 900 mW at ≤75°C, derated 12 mW/°C above - defines thermal margin in sealed avionics enclosures |

| 5, 6, 11, 12 | S1–S4 | Source terminals - analog inputs routed through closed switch path |
| 7 | V– | Negative supply rail - must be connected to system negative reference, supports –15 V operation |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply rail - supports +15 V operation; powers internal level shifters and switch drivers |
| 9 | GND | Analog/digital common reference - separate from power supply return; critical for noise isolation |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG201AKRZ | 44 V max supply, 60 ns tON, 10 pC charge injection, SOIC-16 package | Lacks MIL-STD-883 qualification; not rated for –55°C to +125°C operation | Select when commercial-grade reliability suffices and board space favors surface-mount |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for DG271AK?
The DG271AK supports V+ to V– differential voltage up to 44 V, with absolute maximum ratings of GND to V– = 25 V and V+ to GND = 25 V. For standard ±15 V operation, the device delivers guaranteed rDS(on) ≤75 Ω and tON ≤80 ns across –55°C to +125°C. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage to internal protection diodes and gate oxides.
Does DG271AK require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its digital inputs?
No, DG271AK digital inputs (IN1–IN4) are TTL/CMOS compatible and do not require external biasing. Input thresholds are specified at 0.8 V (low) and 2.4 V (high) with input current ≤10 µA across temperature. External resistors may degrade switching speed and increase power consumption without improving noise immunity in properly routed layouts.
How does DG271AK handle analog signals exceeding the supply rails?
DG271AK includes internal clamping diodes between S/D pins and V+/V–. Signals exceeding V+ or falling below V– forward-bias these diodes, limiting excursion to ~0.7 V beyond rails. To avoid excessive current, external series resistance must limit peak diode current to ≤20 mA - critical when interfacing with overvoltage-prone sensors or legacy equipment.
Is DG271AK pin-compatible with the commercial DG271B variant?
No, DG271AK uses a 16-pin CerDIP package while DG271B is offered in 16-pin plastic DIP and SOIC packages. Although functional and electrical specifications align closely, the CerDIP lead pitch (0.3 inch) and hermetic sealing differ from plastic variants. PCB layout and thermal management must be redesigned for DG271AK integration.
What is the thermal derating behavior of DG271AK above 75°C?
DG271AK in CerDIP package has a power dissipation limit of 900 mW at ≤75°C, derated linearly at 12 mW/°C above that point. At 125°C ambient, maximum allowable power drops to 300 mW. This requires careful thermal design in sealed avionics enclosures - including copper pour area, thermal vias, and proximity to airflow - to maintain junction temperature below 150°C.
