Product details
Overview
DG406DJ-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, featuring 50 Ω on-resistance, 15 pC charge injection, and ±20 V dual-supply operation. It implements break-before-make switching and TTL-compatible digital control for high-accuracy data acquisition in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the DG406DJ-E3 datasheet, DG406DJ-E3 pinout, DG406DJ-E3 application, or DG406DJ-E3 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping, functional context, and real-world design implications - including supply flexibility (±5 V to ±20 V), low leakage (<0.5 nA off-state), and compatibility with medical, ATE, and avionics signal routing systems.
Technical Context
The DG406DJ-E3 uses a silicon-gate CMOS process enabling 44 V absolute maximum supply rating and latchup immunity via epitaxial isolation. Its decoder/driver architecture supports parallel address decoding (A0–A3) and global enable (EN), with all digital inputs guaranteed TTL-compatible across –40 °C to +85 °C.
Each channel conducts bidirectionally with symmetrical on-resistance and blocks analog signals up to rail voltage in the off state. Break-before-make timing (min. 10 ns, typ. 50 ns) prevents input shorting during channel transitions, critical for precision sampling integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog configuration | 16:1 single-ended multiplexer - selects one of 16 inputs to shared output |
| On-resistance (RDS(on)) | 50 Ω typical at ±15 V - enables <1 LSB error in 12-bit systems with ≤1 kΩ source impedance |
| Charge injection | 15 pC - limits voltage glitch on 1 nF load to <15 mV, supporting sub-12-bit settling |
| Supply range | ±5 V to ±20 V dual or 12 V single - accommodates industrial, medical, and portable rails without level shifters |
| Off-leakage current | ≤0.5 nA max at full temperature range - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends |
| Transition time | 200 ns typical - supports >694 kHz aggregate sampling rate across 16 channels |
| Enable timing | tON(EN) ≤ 400 ns, tOFF(EN) ≤ 300 ns - allows synchronized stacking of multiple devices |
Pinout & Package
DG406DJ-E3 is packaged in a 28-pin plastic DIP (Dual-In-Line) with 0.600" wide body per Vishay drawing 71243. Pin 1 is top-left corner with notch orientation; pins are numbered counter-clockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive supply rail | Accepts up to +20 V; powers internal logic and switch drivers |
| V− | Negative supply rail | Accepts down to −20 V; defines lower analog signal limit and bias reference |
| GND | Ground reference | Logic and analog return; must be low-impedance to minimize crosstalk |
| D | Common analog output | Single-ended output node shared by all 16 switched channels |
| S1–S16 | Analog input channels | Source terminals of 16 independent NMOS/PMOS transmission gates |
| A0–A3 | Binary address inputs | 4-bit code selects active channel (0–15); TTL-compatible thresholds (0.8 V / 2.4 V) |
| EN | Global enable | Active-high; forces all switches OFF when low - enables device stacking |
| NC | No-connect | Pins 4, 12, 13, 25 - internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional analog conduction | Supports signal flow in either direction - simplifies PCB routing in mixed-signal paths |
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed minimum 10 ns dead time prevents momentary input shorting during channel change |
| Low power dissipation | 0.2 mW typical - enables use in thermally constrained, battery-operated systems without heatsinking |
| Rail-to-rail analog range | Signals from V− to V+ pass unclamped - preserves full dynamic range in ±15 V systems |
| TTL-compatible control | Operates directly with microcontroller GPIOs - eliminates external level-shifting circuitry |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG406BRZ | 44 V max rating same; 60 Ω RDS(on) (vs. 50 Ω); 25 pC charge injection (vs. 15 pC) | Higher on-resistance increases gain error in precision gain stages; higher Q degrades settling in fast-sampling systems | Select DG406DJ-E3 where <12-bit accuracy and <200 ns transition are required |
| MAX4617CSE+ | 16-channel but only ±15 V max; 80 Ω RDS(on); no break-before-make guarantee | Limited supply headroom reduces margin in ±20 V avionics rails; lack of BbM increases risk of input shorting during fault conditions | Prefer DG406DJ-E3 for high-reliability dual-supply systems requiring guaranteed switching safety |
Compared with ADG406BRZ and MAX4617CSE+, the DG406DJ-E3 delivers superior on-resistance matching (±5%), lower charge injection, and guaranteed break-before-make timing - making it optimal for 12-bit+ data acquisition where channel crosstalk and switching glitches directly impact measurement fidelity.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for DG406DJ-E3?
The DG406DJ-E3 has an absolute maximum supply rating of ±20 V (44 V total), verified per Vishay Document 70061 Rev. L. This allows safe operation with standard industrial bipolar rails and provides margin against transients. Operation beyond ±20 V risks permanent damage, even briefly.
Does DG406DJ-E3 support single-supply operation?
Yes, DG406DJ-E3 supports single-supply operation from 5 V to 12 V (V− = GND). Per specification table on page 5 of the datasheet, analog signal range is 0 V to V+, and RDS(on) remains ≤120 Ω at 12 V - enabling direct interface with microcontrollers and low-voltage ADCs without level shifting.
What is the purpose of the EN (enable) pin on DG406DJ-E3?
The EN pin on DG406DJ-E3 is an active-high global enable that forces all 16 analog switches into the OFF state when driven low. This feature allows stacking multiple DG406DJ-E3 devices on a shared D output line, enabling scalable channel expansion without external OR logic or contention risk.
How does DG406DJ-E3 achieve break-before-make switching?
DG406DJ-E3 guarantees break-before-make via internal timing control in its decoder/driver block. The truth table and Figure 4 confirm a minimum 10 ns (typ. 50 ns) interval between channel turn-off and next channel turn-on. This prevents momentary shorting of analog inputs - critical for protecting sensors and avoiding system-level faults.
Is DG406DJ-E3 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, DG406DJ-E3 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as indicated by the "-E3" suffix per Vishay ordering information (page 3). It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and is categorized under Vishay's material compliance program - documented in www.vishay.com/doc?99912.
