Product details
Overview
DG303ACWE from Maxim Integrated is a dual SPDT CMOS analog switch IC designed for precision signal routing in low-power, bipolar-supply systems. It features <50Ω on-resistance, ±15V analog signal range (V+ to V−), 150ns turn-on time, and break-before-make switching - enabling reliable operation in portable instrumentation and programmable gain amplifier circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DG303ACWE datasheet, DG303ACWE pinout, DG303ACWE application, or DG303ACWE equivalent, this device serves as a TTL/CMOS-compatible, latchup-proof analog switch with single-supply capability (V− = GND), low charge injection (12pC), and guaranteed performance across 0°C to +70°C.
Technical Context
The DG303ACWE implements two independent SPDT switches using monolithic CMOS process technology with substrate isolation. Each switch supports rail-to-rail analog signal handling from V− to V+, with logic inputs compatible to TTL and CMOS voltage thresholds (0.8V/4.0V).
Its break-before-make architecture prevents momentary shorting during state transitions, and internal latchup-proof construction ensures robustness against transient overvoltage and supply sequencing faults - critical for battery-powered telemetry and sample/hold systems operating at ±5V to ±15V supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15V (V− to V+); enables full-rail signal switching without clipping in bipolar supply systems. |
| On-Resistance (RDS(ON)) | <50Ω typ.; ensures minimal signal attenuation and distortion in precision analog paths. |
| Turn-On Time (tON) | 150ns max; supports high-speed multiplexing in data acquisition and test equipment. |
| Charge Injection | 12pC typ.; reduces settling error in sample-and-hold and switched-capacitor circuits. |
| Off-Leakage Current | <±0.1nA typ. (ID(OFF)/IS(OFF)); preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces. |
| Supply Range | ±5V to ±15V; also supports single-supply mode with V− tied to GND (10V–30V V+). |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS input thresholds (0.8V low, 4.0V high); simplifies interface with microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead wide SOIC (SOIC-W), 0.300" body width, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 | No Connect (N.C.) | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply rail; accepts +5V to +15V in dual-supply mode or +10V to +30V in single-supply mode. |
| 9 | GND | Ground reference for logic inputs and substrate bias; required for single-supply operation. |
| 15 | V− | Negative supply rail; tied to GND for single-supply use; sets lower bound of analog signal range. |
| 16 | IN1 / IN2 | Independent TTL/CMOS-compatible control inputs for Switch 1 and Switch 2. |
| S1, S2 | Common Source Terminals | SPDT common nodes; each connects to one of two drain paths based on logic state. |
| D1a/D1b, D2a/D2b | Drain Outputs | Two normally open/normally closed paths per switch; routed via break-before-make logic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Latchup-proof CMOS construction | Prevents destructive latchup under overvoltage or ESD stress - essential for field-deployed instrumentation. |
| Break-before-make switching | Guarantees ≥50ns dead time between channel disconnect and reconnect - eliminates signal shorting in multiplexer paths. |
| Low charge injection (12pC) | Minimizes voltage glitch on hold capacitors; enables sub-12-bit accuracy in sample/hold applications. |
| Rail-to-rail analog range | Supports signals spanning V− to V+ without clipping - critical for ±12V industrial sensor interfaces. |
| Single-supply capability | V− = GND configuration allows use with +10V to +30V supplies - simplifies power design in portable systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4633ESE+ | Lower on-resistance (3Ω typ.), but only ±5V supply range; SO-16 package same footprint. | Optimized for low-voltage, high-precision data acquisition - not suitable for ±12V industrial signals. | Select when system uses 5V rails and requires ultra-low RDS(ON); verify logic compatibility and thermal derating. |
| ADG1434BRUZ | 4-channel SPDT, higher supply range (±15V), but larger 20-lead TSSOP package and 180ns tON. | Offers channel count expansion for multi-sensor systems; requires PCB layout change due to different pinout. | Choose when scaling to 4 independent SPDT paths is needed; confirm layout compatibility and leakage specs at temperature extremes. |
Compared with DG303ACWE, MAX4633ESE+ delivers superior on-resistance but sacrifices bipolar voltage headroom, while ADG1434BRUZ provides additional channels at the cost of increased propagation delay and package rework - making DG303ACWE optimal for space-constrained, ±15V-compatible dual-path routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for DG303ACWE?
The DG303ACWE supports dual-supply operation from ±5V to ±15V. Its absolute maximum V+ rating is 36V relative to V−, and GND must remain within −4V to +25V relative to V−. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage, per Absolute Maximum Ratings table in the datasheet.
Does DG303ACWE support single-supply operation?
Yes, DG303ACWE supports single-supply operation by connecting V− to GND. In this configuration, V+ may range from +10V to +30V, and analog signals can swing from 0V to V+. The device retains TTL/CMOS logic compatibility and full rail-to-rail analog switching capability.
What is the typical charge injection value for DG303ACWE and why does it matter?
DG303ACWE exhibits 12pC typical charge injection (measured with ±15V supplies and 10nF load). This parameter directly impacts settling error in sample-and-hold and switched-capacitor circuits - lower values reduce voltage glitches on hold capacitors, preserving DC accuracy and enabling faster acquisition times.
Is DG303ACWE pin-compatible with legacy DG303 devices?
Yes, DG303ACWE is pin-compatible with other DG303 variants (e.g., DG303CWE, DG303BWE) and electrically compatible with original manufacturer equivalents. All share identical 16-pin wide SOIC footprint, pin functions, and logic-level definitions - allowing direct replacement without PCB modification.
What is the operating temperature range specified for DG303ACWE?
DG303ACWE is rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient operating temperature. This commercial-grade specification aligns with its "C" suffix designation and is validated across all key parameters including on-resistance, leakage, and switching times per the Electrical Characteristics tables.
