Product details
Overview
DG308BDJ-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a quad single-pole single-throw (SPST) normally open analog switch fabricated in silicon-gate CMOS technology, rated for ±22 V analog signal range, with 45 Ω typical on-resistance, <200 ns turn-on time, and 1 pC charge injection - used in precision instrumentation multiplexing and sample-and-hold circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DG308BDJ-E3 datasheet, DG308BDJ-E3 pinout, DG308BDJ-E3 application, or DG308BDJ-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include bi-directional analog signal handling up to ±22 V, low leakage (<20 pA), RoHS-compliant 16-pin plastic DIP packaging, and compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic levels (VINH ≥11 V, VINL ≤3.5 V).
Technical Context
The DG308BDJ-E3 implements four independent SPST switches with true bi-directional conduction when on and blocking to supply rails when off. Its epitaxial layer prevents latchup, and internal charge injection compensation minimizes switching transients during analog signal routing.
It supports dual-supply operation (±4 V to ±22 V) or single-supply operation (4 V to 44 V), with digital control inputs compatible with standard TTL and CMOS logic families. Each channel exhibits matched on-resistance (ΔRDS(on) ≤2 %) and low off-isolation degradation over frequency (90 dB at 100 kHz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15 V (dual supply); enables full-range routing of industrial sensor signals without clipping |
| On-Resistance (RDS(on)) | 45 Ω typ. at ±15 V supplies; ensures minimal gain error and voltage drop in precision amplifier paths |
| Charge Injection (Q) | 1 pC typ.; limits voltage step error in sample-and-hold applications to sub-mV levels |
| Turn-On Time (tON) | <200 ns; supports high-speed data acquisition at >1 MHz sampling rates |
| Off-Leakage Current | ±20 pA max. at ±14 V; preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±4 V to ±22 V continuous; accommodates wide dynamic range in test equipment and process control |
| Logic Input Thresholds | VINH ≥11 V, VINL ≤3.5 V; ensures robust noise margin with 15 V logic systems |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin plastic DIP (JEDEC MS-012), 0.300-inch wide body, through-hole mountable with 2.54 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 (IN1–IN4) | Digital control input | Active-high logic: logic "1" (≥11 V) closes corresponding switch; logic "0" (≤3.5 V) opens it |
| 5, 6, 12, 13 (S1–S4) | Source terminal | Bi-directional analog path input/output; connects to signal source or load depending on system topology |
| 7, 8, 11, 10 (D1–D4) | Drain terminal | Bi-directional analog path input/output; paired with Sx to form independent SPST switch channels |
| 9 (GND) | Ground reference | Logic ground reference; must be tied to system ground, not floating or isolated |
| 14 (V−) | Negative supply rail | Bias for analog channel operation; sets lower bound of supported analog signal swing |
| 15 (V+) | Positive supply rail | Bias for analog channel operation; sets upper bound of supported analog signal swing |
| 16 (NC) | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True bi-directional analog switching | Enables flexible signal routing in both directions without polarity constraints in multiplexer or matrix configurations |
| Epitaxial latchup protection | Guarantees immunity to destructive latchup under transient overvoltage or ESD stress in industrial environments |

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 (2.7 V to 12 V); 60 Ω RDS(on); 2.5 pC charge injection | Limited to low-voltage portable instrumentation; unsuitable for ±15 V signal routing | Select when operating from 3.3 V/5 V rails and analog range ≤12 V; avoid for industrial bipolar signal paths |
| ADG1404BRUZ | 4-channel SPST, ±15 V rating; 4.7 Ω RDS(on); 0.25 pC charge injection; 16-lead TSSOP | Superior on-resistance and charge injection, but requires PCB redesign for surface-mount layout | Choose for highest precision where layout change is acceptable; DG308BDJ-E3 remains optimal for through-hole legacy designs requiring ±22 V tolerance |
Compared with MAX4617ESE+ and ADG1404BRUZ, the DG308BDJ-E3 uniquely balances ±22 V analog capability, through-hole DIP packaging, and 1 pC charge injection - making it the preferred choice for industrial multiplexers and legacy test equipment upgrades where high-voltage signal integrity and mechanical reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage the DG308BDJ-E3 can switch?
The DG308BDJ-E3 supports analog signals from V− to V+, with absolute maximum ratings allowing ±22 V across V+ and V− terminals. Under normal operation with ±15 V supplies, it reliably switches signals within ±15 V - verified across −40 °C to +85 °C. Exceeding V+ or V− triggers internal clamping diodes, so external current limiting is required if analog inputs exceed supply rails.
Does the DG308BDJ-E3 require dual supplies to operate?
No - the DG308BDJ-E3 supports both dual-supply (±4 V to ±22 V) and single-supply (4 V to 44 V) configurations. In single-supply mode with V− = 0 V and V+ = 12 V, its analog signal range is 0 V to 12 V, and RDS(on) increases to 90 Ω typical. Logic thresholds remain unchanged: VINH ≥11 V and VINL ≤3.5 V ensure reliable switching regardless of supply topology.
How does the DG308BDJ-E3 differ from the older DG308A version?
The DG308BDJ-E3 delivers measurable improvements over the DG308A: 45 Ω vs. 60 Ω typical on-resistance, <200 ns vs. ~350 ns turn-on time, 1 pC vs. 3 pC charge injection, and 20 pA vs. 100 pA off-leakage. These enhancements stem from Vishay Siliconix' proprietary silicon-gate CMOS process and improved charge injection compensation - directly enabling higher accuracy and speed in precision analog routing applications.
Is the DG308BDJ-E3 pin-compatible with other packages in the DG308B family?
Yes - the DG308BDJ-E3 (16-pin plastic DIP), DG308BDY-E3 (16-pin SOIC), and DG308BDQ-E3 (16-pin TSSOP) share identical pinout and electrical specifications. Mechanical differences affect mounting and thermal performance only: DIP offers highest power dissipation (470 mW) and easiest prototyping; SOIC and TSSOP provide smaller footprints and better high-frequency behavior but require re-layout.
What is the purpose of the NC pin (Pin 16) on the DG308BDJ-E3?
Pin 16 is a no-connect (NC) terminal - internally unconnected and electrically isolated from all circuitry. It must remain unconnected on the PCB to prevent unintended coupling, parasitic capacitance, or solder bridging. Leaving Pin 16 floating is safe; tying it to ground or supply introduces risk of noise injection or layout-induced crosstalk, especially in high-precision analog signal paths.
