Product details
Overview
DG406BDJ-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 16-channel single-ended CMOS analog multiplexer that routes one of sixteen analog inputs to a common output under 4-bit binary address control. It features 45 Ω on-resistance, 11 pC charge injection, and ±20 V dual-supply operation, enabling high-accuracy signal routing in precision data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the DG406BDJ-E3 datasheet, DG406BDJ-E3 pinout, DG406BDJ-E3 application, or DG406BDJ-E3 equivalent, this device is selected for low-glitch, rail-to-rail analog switching in battery-powered instrumentation, medical sensors, and ATE where channel matching, leakage control, and break-before-make timing are critical.
Technical Context
The DG406BDJ-E3 implements a silicon-gate CMOS architecture with epitaxial latchup protection and TTL-compatible digital inputs across –40 °C to +85 °C. Its decoder/driver stage supports parallel address decoding (A0–A3) and global enable (EN), ensuring deterministic channel selection without momentary shorting via break-before-make switching.
It operates from ±5 V to ±20 V dual supplies or 5 V to 40 V single supply, with analog signal range spanning full rail-to-rail (–15 V to +15 V typical). Off-isolation reaches –86 dB at 1 MHz, and transition time is specified at 115 ns (typ.) under ±15 V conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channel count | 16:1 single-ended analog multiplexer - selects one input from sixteen to common drain output |
| On-resistance (RDS(on)) | 45 Ω (typ.), ≤74 Ω (max) at ±15 V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision measurement paths |
| Charge injection | 11 pC (typ.) - limits voltage glitch on sampled-hold nodes and preserves ADC accuracy |
| Transition time | 115 ns (typ.), ≤161 ns (max) - supports >5 MHz analog switching rates in high-speed data capture |
| Off-isolation (OIRR) | –86 dB at 1 MHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive channels in multi-signal routing |
| Supply range | ±5 V to ±20 V dual or 5 V to 40 V single - enables flexible integration in industrial, medical, and avionics power domains |
| Enable propagation delay | tON(EN) ≤123 ns, tOFF(EN) ≤94 ns - allows synchronized stacking of multiple devices for expanded channel count |
Pinout & Package
DG406BDJ-E3 is packaged in a 28-pin wide-body SOIC (SO-28W) with 0.4-inch body width and standard JEDEC MS-013AC footprint. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; package meets RoHS-compliant lead (Pb)-free finish per -E3 suffix.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive supply rail | Bias for internal logic and switch PMOS transistors; supports up to +20 V in dual-supply mode |
| V- | Negative supply rail | Bias for internal logic and switch NMOS transistors; supports down to –20 V in dual-supply mode |
| GND | Ground reference | Logic ground and substrate reference; must be connected even in single-supply operation |
| D | Common drain/output | Single bidirectional analog output node shared by all 16 switched channels |
| S1–S16 | Analog source inputs | 16 independent bidirectional analog inputs; each conducts equally in both directions when selected |
| A0–A3 | Binary address inputs | TTL-compatible 4-bit address bus selecting active channel (0–15); latched internally |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high global enable; forces all switches OFF when low - essential for cascading or power gating |
| NC | No-connect | Pins 4, 12, 13, 25 - internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed tOPEN ≥21 ns (min) prevents transient shorting during channel transitions - critical for sensor multiplexing safety |
| Rail-to-rail analog range | Supports signals from V– to V+ (e.g., –15 V to +15 V) - eliminates external level-shifting in bipolar signal chains |
| Low off-leakage | ID(off) ≤ ±40 nA (max) at full temperature range - preserves integrity of high-impedance sensor outputs and integrator nodes |
| Single-supply capability | Operates from 5 V to 40 V unipolar supply - simplifies power design in portable and remote instrumentation |
| Latchup immunity | Epitaxial process prevents destructive latchup under overvoltage or ESD stress - enhances field reliability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4617ESE+ | 16:1 single-ended, 60 Ω RDS(on), 15 pC charge injection, ±15 V max supply | Lower voltage rating and higher on-resistance limit use in ±20 V or high-precision systems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for lowest RDS(on) or extended supply range |
| ADG406BRUZ | 16:1 single-ended, 70 Ω RDS(on), 25 pC charge injection, ±15 V max supply, different pinout | Higher charge injection degrades sampling accuracy in high-resolution ADC interfaces | Prefer only if existing ADI-based designs require drop-in replacement with layout revision |
Compared with DG406BDJ-E3, MAX4617ESE+ offers lower cost but sacrifices 15 Ω on-resistance and ±5 V supply headroom, while ADG406BRUZ trades higher charge injection and incompatible pinout for broader ADI ecosystem support - DG406BDJ-E3 remains optimal for rail-to-rail, low-glitch, high-isolation multiplexing.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for DG406BDJ-E3?
DG406BDJ-E3 has an absolute maximum V+ to V– rating of 44 V, supporting dual-supply operation up to ±20 V or single-supply operation up to 40 V. Operation beyond these limits risks permanent damage, and derating applies above 75 °C per datasheet note c.
Does DG406BDJ-E3 support single-supply operation with a 12 V rail?
Yes, DG406BDJ-E3 supports single-supply operation from 5 V to 40 V. At V+ = 12 V and V– = GND, its analog signal range is 0 V to 12 V, RDS(on) is ≤100 Ω, and transition time is ≤163 ns - verified in the "SPECIFICATIONS (single supply)" table on page 5 of the datasheet.
What is the function of the EN pin on DG406BDJ-E3?
The EN (enable) pin on DG406BDJ-E3 is an active-high control that globally disables all 16 analog switches when logic low. When EN = 0 V, no channel conducts regardless of address inputs - enabling safe stacking of multiple DG406BDJ-E3 devices for expanded channel count without signal contention.
How does DG406BDJ-E3 achieve break-before-make switching?
DG406BDJ-E3 guarantees break-before-make behavior via internal timing control: the previously selected channel fully opens (tOPEN ≥21 ns min) before the newly addressed channel closes. This prevents momentary shorting between analog inputs - confirmed in Truth Table and Dynamic Characteristics sections of the datasheet.
Is DG406BDJ-E3 pin-compatible with DG406BDW-E3?
Yes, DG406BDJ-E3 and DG406BDW-E3 share identical 28-pin wide-body SOIC packaging, pinout, and electrical specifications. The -DJ and -DW suffixes denote alternate tape-and-reel packaging variants per Vishay ordering information - both are functionally and mechanically interchangeable in PCB layout.
