Product details
Overview
DG309DJ from Maxim Integrated is a quad SPST analog switch with normally closed (NC) configuration, designed for precision signal routing in bipolar or single-supply systems. It delivers 60Ω typical on-resistance, <120ns turn-on time, <90ns turn-off time, and supports ±5V to ±20V dual supplies or +5V to +30V single supply - used in military radios and guidance systems where reliable analog path control is critical.
For engineers reviewing the DG309DJ datasheet, DG309DJ pinout, DG309DJ application, or DG309DJ equivalent, key selection criteria include NC logic behavior, 44V breakdown rating, -40°C to +85°C operating range, CMOS-compatible inputs, and verified leakage performance under full analog voltage swing.
Technical Context
The DG309DJ implements monolithic low-power CMOS architecture with substrate-connected V+ pin, enabling robust analog switching across ±15V rails. Its NC topology ensures default conduction without control signal, while fast edge response (<120ns tON) and low charge injection (±10pC) preserve signal integrity in sample-and-hold circuits.
It operates with rail-to-rail analog input capability up to ±15V (or 0V to +30V), supported by symmetrical off-isolation (78dB) and matched channel capacitance (CD(ON)+CS(ON) = 27pF). Input leakage remains below ±100nA over temperature, and supply currents stay under ±100µA at TMAX.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | Quad SPST, normally closed (NC) - all four channels conduct when control inputs are low |
| rDS(ON) Typ. | 60Ω at V+ = +15V, V- = -15V - enables low insertion loss in audio and instrumentation signal paths |
| tON / tOFF Max | 200ns / 150ns - supports >5MHz switching in automated test equipment timing windows |
| Analog Range | ±15V (bipolar) or 0V to +30V (single-supply) - accommodates full-scale sensor outputs without level-shifting |
| Breakdown Voltage | 44V - provides 30V peak-to-peak blocking margin for transient suppression in harsh environments |
| Leakage Current | ±100nA max at TMAX - ensures minimal error in high-impedance sample-and-hold hold capacitors |
| Supply Range | ±5V to ±20V or +5V to +30V - allows flexible integration into legacy and modern power architectures |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin plastic DIP (dual in-line package), 0.3-inch width, through-hole mounting compatible with standard PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 (Pins 1, 8, 9, 16) | CMOS logic control inputs | Active-low enables NC behavior; compatible with TTL/CMOS logic thresholds |
| S1–S4 (Pins 3, 6, 11, 14) | Source terminals (analog inputs) | Connected internally to common node in NC state; support bidirectional signal flow |
| D1–D4 (Pins 2, 7, 10, 15) | Drain terminals (analog outputs) | Deliver switched analog signal; matched impedance and capacitance across all channels |
| V+ (Pin 13) | Positive supply / substrate connection | Must be tied to highest potential rail; substrate bias improves latch-up immunity |
| V- (Pin 4) | Negative supply | Required for bipolar operation; sets lower analog rail limit and defines breakdown margin |
| GND (Pin 5) | Ground reference | Logic ground return; separate from analog signal ground in mixed-signal designs |
| N.C. (Pin 12) | No connect | Not internally bonded - must remain unconnected per datasheet specification |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG409BRZ | Quad SPST, NC; 35Ω rDS(ON); 16-pin SOIC only; requires ±15V or +12V single supply | Lower on-resistance but narrower supply range; no DIP option limits legacy board reuse | Select when lower distortion is prioritized and SOIC packaging is acceptable |
| TS5A23157DCUR | Dual SPDT (not quad SPST); 0.9Ω rDS(ON); 3–5.5V single supply only; 10-pin VSSOP | Higher channel density but incompatible topology and voltage range; unsuitable for ±15V systems | Choose only for low-voltage, space-constrained digital I/O switching - not a functional substitute |
Compared with ADG409BRZ and TS5A23157DCUR, the DG309DJ uniquely supports wide bipolar supplies, DIP packaging, and NC default behavior - making it irreplaceable in MIL-spec analog routing where fail-safe continuity and through-hole reliability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the logic polarity of DG309DJ control inputs?
The DG309DJ features active-low logic control: when IN1–IN4 are at logic low (≤0.8V), the corresponding S–D channel is closed (conducting); at logic high (≥2.0V), the channel opens (non-conducting). This NC behavior ensures default signal continuity during power-up or controller reset - a critical safety feature in guidance and military radio applications where signal loss must be avoided.
Does DG309DJ support single-supply operation, and what are the limitations?
Yes, DG309DJ supports +5V to +30V single-supply operation, with V- tied to GND. However, datasheet notes confirm slower switching speed and increased rDS(ON) versus bipolar mode. For example, tON rises to ~200ns and rDS(ON) increases to ~100Ω at +30V/GND - acceptable for DC-coupled sensor interfaces but not for high-frequency AC signals above 100kHz.
What is the purpose of the N.C. pin (Pin 12) on DG309DJ?
Pin 12 on DG309DJ is explicitly marked "N.C." (No Connect) in the official pin description and must remain unconnected on the PCB. It is not internally bonded and has no electrical function. Connecting Pin 12 risks unintended current paths or noise coupling, violating Maxim's layout guidelines and potentially degrading off-isolation or increasing leakage beyond spec.
How does DG309DJ achieve 44V breakdown rating with ±15V supplies?
The DG309DJ's 44V breakdown rating refers to the maximum voltage difference allowed between V+ and V− pins - not the analog signal swing. With ±15V supplies (30V total), the 44V rating provides 14V headroom for transients. This margin enables reliable operation in MIL-STD-1275B automotive and MIL-STD-461E EMI environments where voltage spikes exceed nominal rails.
Can DG309DJ be used in bidirectional analog signal paths?
Yes, DG309DJ supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow: S and D terminals are interchangeable, with identical rDS(ON), capacitance, and leakage specifications in either direction. This symmetry is confirmed in the datasheet's electrical characteristics table and typical operating curves - essential for applications like programmable-gain amplifier feedback networks and loopback test paths in communications systems.
