Product details
Overview
DG406BDN-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 16-channel single-ended CMOS analog multiplexer with TTL-compatible control inputs, 45 Ω on-resistance, 115 ns transition time, and ±20 V dual-supply operation. It routes one of sixteen analog inputs to a common output under 4-bit binary address control and supports break-before-make switching for signal integrity in data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the DG406BDN-E3 datasheet, DG406BDN-E3 pinout, DG406BDN-E3 application, or DG406BDN-E3 equivalent, this device is selected for high-accuracy, low-glitch analog signal routing where channel count, low charge injection (11 pC), and rail-to-rail analog voltage handling (±15 V) are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The DG406BDN-E3 implements a silicon-gate CMOS architecture with epitaxial latchup protection and operates across ±5 V to ±20 V dual supplies or 5 V to 40 V single supply. Its decoder/driver block interprets A0–A3 and EN signals to activate exactly one of 16 source-to-drain paths with break-before-make timing (39 ns min at 25 °C).
All 16 Sx terminals serve as bidirectional analog switches; D is the common drain/output; V+, V−, and GND establish bias rails; and NC pins are internally unconnected. The device guarantees <0.5 nA off-leakage and −86 dB off-isolation at 1 MHz, validated over −40 °C to +85 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channel configuration | 16:1 single-ended analog multiplexer - selects one input from sixteen to common output |
| On-resistance (RDS(on)) | 45 Ω typical at ±15 V - enables low-insertion-loss signal routing with minimal gain error |
| Transition time (tTRANS) | 115 ns typical - supports >5 MHz analog switching without significant settling delay |
| Charge injection (Q) | 11 pC typical - limits voltage glitch on sampled-hold nodes during channel switching |
| Analog signal range | ±15 V with ±15 V supplies - accommodates full-rail bipolar sensor or DAC outputs |
| Supply voltage range | ±5 V to ±20 V dual or 5 V to 40 V single - allows flexible power architecture in portable and industrial systems |
| Off-isolation (OIRR) | −86 dB at 1 MHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive channels in dense multiplexed systems |
| Enable function (EN) | Active-high TTL-compatible - resets all switches to off state for stacking or system-level power gating |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier), body size 12.57 mm × 12.57 mm, lead pitch 1.27 mm, RoHS-compliant lead (Pb)-free finish per -E3 suffix.

| 17 | D | Common drain/output terminal - connects to selected Sx channel; serves as analog output node |
| 18 | GND | Ground reference - required for logic level translation and substrate biasing |
| 19, 20, 21, 22 | A0–A3 | 4-bit binary address inputs - determine which Sx channel connects to D (LSB to MSB order) |
| 23 | EN | Enable input - high = normal operation; low = all switches forced open (reset state) |
| 24 | V− | Negative supply rail - establishes lower analog voltage limit; supports up to −20 V |
| 25, 26, 27, 28 | NC | No-connect - internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
| 28 (corner) | V+ | Positive supply rail - establishes upper analog voltage limit; supports up to +20 V |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4617CSE+ | 16:1 single-ended, 60 Ω RDS(on), 100 ns tTRANS, ±15 V max supply, SO-16 package | Lower channel count density; no PLCC option; higher on-resistance increases gain error | Select when SO-16 footprint and faster switching outweigh need for 28-pin PLCC mechanical robustness |

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the DG406BDN-E3?
The DG406BDN-E3 supports an analog signal range from V− to V+, with absolute maximum ratings of ±20 V dual supply. When operated at ±15 V supplies, the guaranteed analog signal range is ±15 V - enabling direct interface with industrial sensors and bipolar DACs without external level shifting. This rail-to-rail capability is confirmed in the "Analog signal range" specification table on page 3 of the Vishay datasheet (Doc #72552, Rev. E).
Does the DG406BDN-E3 require external pull-up resistors on its address or enable pins?
No, the DG406BDN-E3 does not require external pull-up resistors on A0–A3 or EN. Its digital inputs are TTL-compatible with guaranteed logic thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.4 V) and low input current (±1 μA max), allowing direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs or FPGA outputs. This is specified in the "Digital Control" section of the datasheet under VINL/VINH and IAH/IAL parameters.
Can the DG406BDN-E3 operate from a single 12 V supply?
Yes, the DG406BDN-E3 supports single-supply operation from 5 V to 40 V. At V+ = 12 V and V− = GND, it delivers 78 Ω typical RDS(on), 130 ns transition time, and maintains full 0–12 V analog signal range - verified in the "SPECIFICATIONS (single supply)" table on page 5 of the datasheet. This makes it suitable for automotive and industrial 12 V systems.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on the DG406BDN-E3 PLCC package?
The four NC (no-connect) pins on the DG406BDN-E3 PLCC package (pins 25–28, excluding V+) are internally unconnected and must remain floating or be tied to GND per Vishay's layout recommendations. They serve mechanical and thermal roles - improving solder joint reliability and heat dissipation - but carry no electrical function. This is documented in the "FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM AND PIN CONFIGURATION" section and package drawings (Doc #71243).
How does the break-before-make timing prevent signal corruption in the DG406BDN-E3?
The DG406BDN-E3 guarantees a minimum 39 ns break-before-make interval (tOPEN) between channel transitions, ensuring that the previously selected Sx channel fully disconnects before the next channel closes. This prevents momentary shorting between two analog sources - critical in applications like sensor multiplexing where source impedance mismatch could cause measurement errors or damage. Verified in Figure 4 and Table on page 4 of the datasheet.
