Product details
Overview
DG304ACJ+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad SPST CMOS analog switch with 100Ω on-resistance, ±15V supply capability, and 100ns switching time, used for signal routing in precision instrumentation and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the DG304ACJ+ datasheet, DG304ACJ+ pinout, DG304ACJ+ application, or DG304ACJ+ equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching (max 5Ω between channels), break-before-make timing, leakage current (<1nA at 25°C), and SOIC-16 package compatibility with automated PCB assembly.
Technical Context
The DG304ACJ+ integrates four independent single-pole single-throw (SPST) switches fabricated in silicon-gate CMOS technology, enabling bidirectional analog/digital signal control with rail-to-rail input voltage range up to ±15V. Its logic-compatible control inputs accept TTL/CMOS levels and drive internal transmission gates without external level-shifting.
Each switch exhibits symmetrical on-resistance (RON = 100Ω typical at ±15V supplies), low charge injection (5pC max), and minimal off-leakage (±0.5nA at 25°C), supporting high-accuracy sampling in multiplexed ADC front-ends and programmable gain amplifier configurations.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX304ACPE+ | Same electrical specs; PDIP-16 package instead of SOIC-16 | Through-hole assembly only; unsuitable for SMT production lines | Select when manual prototyping or legacy through-hole boards require drop-in replacement |
| ADG1414BRUZ | Lower RON (1.8Ω), higher supply voltage (±15V), but requires separate logic supply (VL) | Higher performance in low-RON applications; added complexity from dual-supply control interface | Select when ultra-low on-resistance is critical and VL supply routing is feasible |
Compared with DG304ACJ+, MAX304ACPE+ offers identical analog performance in through-hole form, while ADG1414BRUZ delivers significantly lower RON at the cost of increased supply complexity-making DG304ACJ+ optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained SMT designs requiring proven reliability and simple two-supply operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for DG304ACJ+?
The DG304ACJ+ supports dual-supply operation from ±15V, meaning V+ can be up to +15V and V− can be as low as −15V relative to GND. Operation outside this range risks permanent damage. The device maintains specified RON and leakage performance across the full ±15V range, making DG304ACJ+ suitable for bipolar signal conditioning in industrial control systems.
Does DG304ACJ+ support rail-to-rail input signals?
Yes, DG304ACJ+ supports rail-to-rail analog input signals - inputs can swing from V− to V+ without distortion or turn-off. This capability is intrinsic to its CMOS transmission-gate architecture and enables direct interfacing with sensors and DACs operating across the full supply range. DG304ACJ+ maintains low distortion and consistent RON over this entire input span.
Is DG304ACJ+ pin-compatible with DG304AEJ+?
No, DG304ACJ+ and DG304AEJ+ are not pin-compatible. DG304ACJ+ uses a standard SOIC-16 package with NC on pin 16, while DG304AEJ+ is a different variant with modified internal logic and pin assignments. Always verify package drawings and pin functions in the respective datasheets before substitution - DG304ACJ+ must be used with its documented SOIC-16 pinout.
What is the typical on-resistance matching between channels in DG304ACJ+?
DG304ACJ+ guarantees maximum on-resistance mismatch of 5Ω between any two channels under identical supply and temperature conditions. This tight matching ensures uniform gain and offset behavior when used in multi-channel signal paths such as programmable filter banks or parallel ADC front-ends, directly contributing to system-level measurement repeatability.
Can DG304ACJ+ be used with a single +5V supply?
No, DG304ACJ+ requires dual supplies (V+, GND, V−) to operate correctly - it does not support single-supply operation. The internal switch architecture depends on both positive and negative rails to handle bipolar signals and maintain proper gate biasing. Attempting single-supply use will result in incomplete channel turn-on and unpredictable leakage; DG304ACJ+ must be powered with ±15V or scaled dual supplies within its rated range.
