Product details
Overview
DG390ABK from Maxim Integrated is a precision dual SPDT analog switch IC designed for high-reliability signal routing in instrumentation and test equipment. It features ±15V supply capability, 10Ω on-resistance (max), 0.5pF off-capacitance, and operates over –20°C to +85°C. It replaces mechanical relays in automated test systems requiring low charge injection and rail-to-rail analog signal handling.
For engineers reviewing the DG390ABK datasheet, DG390ABK pinout, DG390ABK application, or DG390ABK equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance matching (≤0.5Ω), sub-1nC charge injection, and compatibility with ±15V dual-supply signal chains in ATE and data acquisition front-ends.
Technical Context
The DG390ABK integrates two independent SPDT switches with matched channel characteristics and CMOS control logic compatible with TTL/CMOS input thresholds. Its internal architecture uses depletion-mode MOSFETs to achieve low leakage (<1nA at 25°C) and fast switching (tON/tOFF = 150ns/100ns typical).
It supports break-before-make operation by default and requires no external biasing for ±15V analog signal swing. The device is specified for full performance across its entire temperature range without derating, enabling use in unregulated industrial environments.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1412BRUZ | SOIC-16, ±15V rated, 1.8Ω RON (typ), but only –40°C to +125°C; RoHS-compliant | Higher performance RON and wider temp range, but plastic package lacks hermeticity | Select when PCB space is constrained and RoHS compliance is mandatory; avoid in high-humidity or vacuum environments |
| MAX4677ESE+ | SOIC-16, ±15V, 4.5Ω RON (max), –40°C to +85°C, RoHS-compliant | Lower RON than DG390ABK but not specified for hermetic reliability or 1nC charge injection | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial DAQ where full DG390ABK spec margin is unnecessary |
Compared with ADG1412BRUZ and MAX4677ESE+, the DG390ABK delivers verified hermetic reliability, guaranteed 1nC charge injection, and proven long-term stability in mission-critical ATE fixtures - making it the preferred choice where field failure risk must be minimized despite higher unit cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for DG390ABK?
The DG390ABK is rated for ±15V dual supplies, with absolute maximum ratings of ±16.5V. Operation beyond ±15V may cause increased on-resistance drift or reduced lifetime. All specifications in the DG390ABK datasheet - including RON, leakage, and charge injection - are guaranteed only within the ±15V range. Exceeding this violates the device's qualified operating conditions.
Does DG390ABK support break-before-make switching by default?
Yes, the DG390ABK guarantees break-before-make timing with a minimum 20ns dead time between channel disconnect and reconnect. This behavior is inherent to its internal control logic and requires no external timing circuitry. The DG390ABK maintains this specification across its full –20°C to +85°C operating range and under all valid supply and load conditions.
Is DG390ABK pin-compatible with DG381ABK?
No, DG390ABK and DG381ABK are not pin-compatible. While both are ceramic DIP-14 analog switches from Maxim, the DG390ABK has dedicated enable pins (EN1/EN2) and separate logic inputs (IN1/IN2), whereas DG381ABK uses combined control pins. Their pin functions differ significantly - confirmed by comparing drawing 21-0045A (DG381 series) against DG390ABK's official package diagram.
What is the typical charge injection value for DG390ABK at 25°C?
The typical charge injection for DG390ABK is 0.3nC at 25°C, with a maximum guaranteed value of 1nC across the full –20°C to +85°C temperature range. This parameter is measured with VDD = +15V, VSS = –15V, and RL = 1kΩ. The DG390ABK's low charge injection enables accurate sampling in high-resolution data acquisition systems without requiring additional settling time or correction algorithms.
Can DG390ABK operate with a single +12V supply?
No, DG390ABK requires dual ±15V supplies for full specification compliance. It is not characterized for single-supply operation. Attempting to run DG390ABK with only +12V (and ground) will result in undefined analog signal range, excessive on-resistance, and potential damage to internal protection structures. The DG390ABK datasheet explicitly specifies dual-supply operation only.
