Product details
Overview
DG408CY from Maxim Integrated is a precision 1-of-8 CMOS analog multiplexer/demultiplexer designed for bidirectional signal routing in precision data-acquisition and test systems. It features guaranteed 100Ω max on-resistance, 8Ω max channel-to-channel matching, 15pC max charge injection, rail-to-rail analog signal handling (±20V dual / +30V single supply), and TTL/CMOS-compatible digital control. Used in sample-and-hold circuits where low distortion and minimal switching transients are critical.
For engineers reviewing the DG408CY datasheet, DG408CY pinout, DG408CY application, or DG408CY equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, package-specific thermal derating, enable timing behavior, leakage performance at +85°C, and direct alternatives with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The DG408CY implements an 8-channel analog switch matrix controlled by three address bits (A0–A2) and an active-low enable (EN), with CMOS decoding logic selecting exactly one of eight bidirectional Sx-to-D paths. All switches conduct equally in both directions and maintain consistent rDS(ON) across the full ±10V analog range under ±15V supplies.
Its architecture guarantees monotonic on-resistance flatness (9Ω max variation), tightly matched channel resistance (8Ω max mismatch), and low off-capacitance (CD(OFF) = 26pF, CS(OFF) = 3pF) to minimize crosstalk (-92dB) and isolation degradation (-75dB) at 100kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (rDS(ON)) | 100Ω max at TA = +25°C, V+ = ±15V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision gain-setting paths. |
| On-Resistance Matching | 8Ω max between any two channels - enables accurate differential signal routing without channel-induced offset drift. |
| Charge Injection | 15pC max - limits voltage glitch on sample capacitors in S/H circuits to <1.5mV with 10nF hold cap. |
| Analog Signal Range | ±20V (dual), +30V (single) - supports industrial sensor inputs and actuator drive signals without external level-shifting. |
| Input Off-Leakage Current | 5nA max at +85°C - preserves high-impedance node integrity in 16-bit ADC front-ends over temperature. |
| Enable Turn-On Time | 150ns max (tON(EN)) - allows sub-microsecond channel selection in high-throughput DAQ systems. |
| ESD Protection | >2000V per MIL-STD-883 Method 3015.7 - withstands handling and board-level ESD events without latch-up. |
Pinout & Package
DG408CY is supplied in a 16-pin narrow SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with 1.27mm pitch, 8.65mm × 3.9mm body, and 696mW max power dissipation at +70°C (derates 8.70mW/°C above).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15, 16 | A0, A1, A2 | Binary address inputs selecting one of eight analog channels; TTL/CMOS compatible (VAL ≤ 0.8V, VAH ≥ 2.4V). |
| 2 | EN | Active-low enable controlling all switches; when high, all channels are open-circuit (high-Z). |
| 3 | V− | Negative supply rail; must be connected for dual-supply operation or tied to GND for single-supply use. |
| 4–7, 9–12 | S1–S4, S5–S8 | Bidirectional analog input terminals; each connects to D when selected, with symmetric on-resistance. |
| 8 | D | Common bidirectional analog output/input terminal shared across all eight channels. |
| 13 | V+ | Positive supply rail; supports +5V to +30V single or ±5V to ±20V dual supply configurations. |
| 14 | GND | Ground reference for logic inputs and internal biasing; separate from analog signal ground in mixed-signal layouts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals from V− to V+ without clipping-critical for ±10V sensor interfaces and DAC outputs. |
| Guaranteed channel matching | 8Ω max rDS(ON) mismatch enables precise ratio-metric measurements in multi-channel thermocouple or RTD scanners. |
| Low charge injection (15pC) | Reduces hold-mode settling error in 16-bit+ S/H circuits, eliminating need for post-switching correction algorithms. |
| TTL/CMOS-compatible control | Direct interface with microcontrollers and FPGAs without level translators-simplifies PCB layout and BOM. |
| High off-isolation (−75dB) | Minimizes signal bleed-through between unselected channels in high-density test fixture routing matrices. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG408BRZ | 100Ω typical rDS(ON), but only 25Ω max matching (vs. DG408CY's 8Ω); 20pC charge injection (vs. 15pC). | Higher channel mismatch increases differential nonlinearity in precision metrology; less suitable for ratiometric bridge sensing. | Select DG408CY when channel matching <10Ω and charge injection <16pC are required for 16-bit+ accuracy. |
| MAX4617ESE+ | Lower 60Ω max rDS(ON), but only single-supply rated (+5V to +36V); no dual-supply support or guaranteed matching spec. | Cannot replace DG408CY in ±15V industrial sensor interfaces or legacy dual-rail systems without redesign. | Choose MAX4617ESE+ only for new single-supply designs prioritizing on-resistance over matching and bipolar operation. |
Compared with ADG408BRZ and MAX4617ESE+, the DG408CY uniquely delivers guaranteed 8Ω channel matching and dual-supply operation within a narrow SO package-making it the only drop-in solution for legacy DG408-based systems requiring validated performance over temperature.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for DG408CY in dual-supply mode?
The DG408CY supports dual-supply operation from ±5V to ±20V. Its absolute maximum rating specifies V+ up to 44V referenced to V−, but functional operation is guaranteed only within the ±5V to ±20V range. Exceeding ±20V risks violating the specified on-resistance flatness and leakage performance, and may trigger internal clamp diode conduction.
Does DG408CY support single-supply operation, and what is its analog signal range in that configuration?
Yes, DG408CY operates with a single +5V to +30V supply by connecting V− to GND. In this mode, the analog signal range extends from 0V to V+, supporting rail-to-rail input/output. For example, with +12V supply, signals from 0V to +12V are fully supported without clipping or distortion.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance flatness specification for DG408CY, and why does it matter?
DG408CY guarantees 9Ω max on-resistance flatness-the difference between maximum and minimum rDS(ON) measured across the full analog signal range. This ensures consistent gain and linearity when routing varying-amplitude signals (e.g., ±10V sensor outputs), preventing amplitude-dependent distortion in precision instrumentation amplifiers.
How does the enable pin (EN) function in DG408CY, and what is its timing behavior?
The EN pin is active-low: when logic high, all eight switches are disabled (high-impedance state); when logic low, channel selection via A0–A2 becomes active. DG408CY guarantees tON(EN) ≤ 150ns and tOFF(EN) ≤ 300ns (at V+ = ±15V), enabling fast channel reconfiguration in time-critical DAQ systems without introducing measurable switching delay jitter.
Is DG408CY pin-compatible with the original industry-standard DG408, and what improvements does it offer?
Yes, DG408CY is a pin-compatible plug-in upgrade for the legacy DG408. Key improvements include guaranteed 8Ω channel matching (vs. unspecified in original), 9Ω max on-resistance flatness (vs. unguaranteed), 15pC max charge injection (vs. 25pC typical), and enhanced ESD protection (>2000V vs. unspecified). No PCB changes are required for migration.
