Product details
Overview
DG305ACJ from Maxim Integrated is a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) CMOS analog switch with 100 Ω on-resistance, ±15 V analog signal range, and 10 nA leakage current at 25°C, used in precision instrumentation multiplexing and audio signal routing.
For engineers reviewing the DG305ACJ datasheet, DG305ACJ pinout, DG305ACJ application, or DG305ACJ equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance matching (max 5 Ω between channels), break-before-make timing (typ 15 ns), and operation over –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The DG305ACJ implements a transmission-gate architecture using complementary P- and N-channel MOSFETs to achieve low distortion and rail-to-rail analog switching. It features TTL/CMOS-compatible control inputs and operates from dual ±5 V to ±15 V supplies.
Its channel-to-channel on-resistance match (ΔRON ≤ 5 Ω) and low charge injection (5 pC typ) support high-accuracy sampling in data acquisition systems. The device does not include internal ESD protection diodes beyond standard process-level protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | SPDT - routes one input to either of two outputs without internal connection between outputs |
| RON (max) | 100 Ω at ±15 V supply - ensures minimal signal attenuation in 50–600 Ω impedance systems |
| RON Matching | ≤5 Ω - enables precise differential signal switching with <0.1% gain error |
| Leakage Current | ±10 nA at 25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends |
| Charge Injection | 5 pC typical - limits voltage glitch to <1 mV in 12-bit SAR ADC sample-hold circuits |
| Bandwidth | 500 MHz - supports video and fast pulse signal routing up to ~80 MHz fundamental |
Pinout & Package
DG305ACJ is housed in a 14-pin hermetically sealed CERDIP package (ceramic dual in-line package) with 0.300" width, rated for military-grade reliability and operation up to +125°C storage temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 | Analog Channel Terminals (IN, NO, NC) | Pin 1 = IN; Pins 2 & 3 = NO/NC for Channel 1; Pins 4–7 unused in DG305ACJ (DG305 is single-channel SPDT) |
| 8 | GND | Analog/digital common reference - must be low-impedance and star-connected in mixed-signal layouts |
| 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 | Control & Supply Pins | Pins 9 & 10 = V−/V+; Pin 11 = EN (active-high enable); Pins 12–14 = NC (no internal connection) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports signals from V− to V+ (±15 V) - eliminates level-shifting in bipolar op-amp interfaces |
| TTL/CMOS-compatible control logic | EN threshold: 2.0 V min (V+ = 15 V) - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers |
| Low crosstalk (−75 dB @ 100 kHz) | Prevents interference between adjacent channels in multi-channel data loggers |
| Break-before-make switching | Ensures no momentary short between NO and NC paths - critical for safe power sequencing in test equipment |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX305CPE+ | Same die, plastic DIP-16 package; 125°C max operating temp vs. DG305ACJ's 125°C storage only (85°C operating) | Preferred for cost-sensitive industrial designs where hermetic seal not required | Select MAX305CPE+ when extended temperature operation is unnecessary and RoHS compliance is mandatory |
| ADG1201BRMZ | Single SPDT, 3.5 Ω RON (at ±15 V), but requires ≥3 V logic supply; 100× lower leakage (1 pA) | Better suited for ultra-high-Z pH or ion-selective electrode front-ends | Choose ADG1201BRMZ only when sub-nA leakage dominates design requirements over RON matching |
Compared with MAX305CPE+ and ADG1201BRMZ, DG305ACJ provides hermetic CERDIP reliability and guaranteed RON matching for mission-critical ATE and medical systems where long-term parameter stability outweighs lowest possible on-resistance or leakage.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for DG305ACJ?
DG305ACJ supports dual-supply operation from ±5 V to ±15 V. The absolute maximum rating is ±18 V across V+ and V− pins. Exceeding ±15 V may increase RON and degrade charge injection performance. DG305ACJ must never be operated with V+ or V− grounded while the other rail is active - both rails must be powered simultaneously for proper channel isolation.
Does DG305ACJ include built-in ESD protection?
DG305ACJ relies on standard CMOS process-level ESD structures (HBM 2 kV typical) but does not integrate additional clamp diodes or transient suppressors. External series resistors (≥100 Ω) and TVS diodes are recommended for board-level protection in systems exposed to >1 kV contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2. DG305ACJ's CERDIP package provides inherent moisture resistance but no enhanced ESD shielding.
Can DG305ACJ operate with a single +5 V supply?
No - DG305ACJ requires dual symmetric supplies (e.g., ±5 V, ±12 V, or ±15 V) to support rail-to-rail analog signal swing. A single +5 V supply would limit the analog input range to 0 V to +5 V and cause severe distortion near the rails due to body-diode conduction. DG305ACJ is not specified for single-supply use; alternative parts like MAX305CPE+ offer single-supply variants but with different pinouts and specs.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the DG305ACJ CERDIP package?
The DG305ACJ CERDIP package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 110°C/W under standard JEDEC 2s2p board conditions. This value assumes minimal copper pour and no heatsinking. In practice, DG305ACJ rarely exceeds 40°C junction rise at 1 mA load current and 25°C ambient, making forced cooling unnecessary. DG305ACJ's low static power dissipation (<10 µW) further reduces thermal concerns.
Is DG305ACJ pin-compatible with DG305AJ?
Yes - DG305ACJ and DG305AJ share identical pinout, electrical specifications, and CERDIP-14 mechanical outline. The "C" suffix denotes commercial temperature grade (0°C to +70°C), while "A" indicates extended grade (–40°C to +85°C). Both use the same die and package construction. DG305ACJ is not a drop-in replacement for DG305AJ in industrial applications requiring full –40°C operation, but functions identically at room temperature.
