Product details
Overview
DG408DJ from Vishay Siliconix is an 8-channel single-ended CMOS analog multiplexer that routes one of eight analog inputs to a common output under 3-bit binary address control (A0–A2), with TTL-compatible enable (EN) and break-before-make switching. It operates from ±5 V to ±20 V dual supplies or +5 V to +36 V single supply, delivers 100 Ω on-resistance, 20 pC charge injection, and 160 ns transition time-ideal for precision data acquisition and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the DG408DJ datasheet, DG408DJ pinout, DG408DJ application, or DG408DJ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-validated pin functions, real-world use-value per application, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The DG408DJ implements a silicon-gate CMOS architecture with epitaxial latchup protection and 44 V absolute maximum supply rating. Its decoder/driver stage accepts TTL-level A0–A2 and EN inputs across –40 °C to +85 °C, enabling robust channel selection without external level shifting.
Each switch exhibits bidirectional conduction, rail-to-rail analog signal blocking in the off state, and matched on-resistance (ΔRDS(on) ≤ 15 Ω). Break-before-make timing prevents crosstalk during channel transitions, and internal clamping diodes limit overvoltage stress on S/D pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance | 100 Ω max - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision analog paths |
| Charge injection | 20 pC typ - reduces voltage glitching at output during channel switching |
| Transition time | 160 ns max - supports >3 MHz multiplexed sampling in high-speed DAQ systems |
| Supply range | ±5 V to ±20 V dual or +5 V to +36 V single - enables flexible power architecture in mixed-signal designs |
| Off isolation | –75 dB min at 1 MHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive channels in dense routing |
| Leakage current | ±5 nA max (full temp range) - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces |
| Enable response | tON(EN) = 150 ns max - allows synchronized global reset across stacked multiplexers |
Pinout & Package
DG408DJ is supplied in a 16-pin plastic DIP package (JEDEC MS-012), 19.94 mm × 6.00 mm footprint, 3.81 mm height, with 2.54 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 is top-left corner (notch side), pin 16 bottom-right.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (S1) | Analog input channel 1 | Unidirectional analog source terminal; clamped to rails if driven beyond V+/V− |
| 2 (S2) | Analog input channel 2 | Same electrical behavior as S1; matched RDS(on) within 15 Ω vs. other channels |
| 3 (S3) | Analog input channel 3 | Valid for ±15 V signal swing with <5 nA leakage at full temperature range |
| 4 (S4) | Analog input channel 4 | Supports rail-to-rail operation; CD(off) = 26 pF enables <1% settling error at 100 kHz |
| 5 (S5) | Analog input channel 5 | Identical DC/AC specs to S1–S4; no performance degradation at 85 °C ambient |
| 6 (S6) | Analog input channel 6 | Compatible with single-supply +12 V operation; RDS(on) = 90 Ω typ at VS = 3 V |
| 7 (S7) | Analog input channel 7 | Low Q (5 pC typ, single-supply) minimizes transient error in medical front-ends |
| 8 (S8) | Analog input channel 8 | Final channel in 8:1 topology; same tTRANS and OIRR as all others |
| 9 (D) | Common analog output | Drain node shared by all switches; handles bidirectional current flow up to 30 mA |
| 10 (EN) | Enable control input | TTL-compatible active-high; forces all switches open when low (no current path) |
| 11 (A0) | LSB address bit | Logic threshold: 0.8 V low / 2.4 V high; Cin = 8 pF limits drive requirement |
| 12 (A1) | Mid address bit | Same VIH/VIL and loading as A0; decoded with A0/A2 to select S1–S8 |
| 13 (A2) | MSB address bit | Completes 3-bit decode; all three address pins must be stable before EN assertion |
| 14 (GND) | Digital ground reference | Separate from analog ground in layout; ties internal logic and decoder bias networks |
| 15 (V−) | Negative supply rail | Accepts –25 V min; powers analog core and clamp diodes; derated above 75 °C |
| 16 (V+) | Positive supply rail | Rated to +44 V max; supplies analog switches and level shifters; 6 mW/°C derating above 75 °C |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed tOPEN ≥ 10 ns - eliminates momentary short between adjacent channels during address changes |

| TTL-compatible control | Operates with standard 5 V logic families across full –40 °C to +85 °C - eliminates need for level translators in microcontroller-based systems |
| Single-supply capability | Functions from +5 V to +36 V with full spec compliance - simplifies power design in portable and industrial equipment |
| Latchup immunity | Epitaxial layer prevents SCR triggering - ensures reliability in noisy environments with fast transients |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4051ACPP+ | 100 Ω RDS(on) max, but only ±5.5 V supply range; 50 pC charge injection; SOIC-16 only | Not suitable for ±15 V or +36 V single-supply systems; higher glitch energy limits use in precision DAQ | Select when operating strictly within 0 V to +5.5 V or ±5 V rails and SOIC packaging is preferred |
| ADG1408BRUZ | 4.7 Ω RDS(on) typ, but 16-bit compatible logic; requires external VLOGIC; TSSOP-16 only; higher cost | Targeted at high-precision, low-noise applications where <5 Ω on-resistance justifies added complexity and cost | Select when sub-10 Ω on-resistance and guaranteed monotonicity are required, and board space permits TSSOP |
Compared with MAX4051ACPP+ and ADG1408BRUZ, DG408DJ offers wider supply flexibility (±20 V / +36 V), lower charge injection (20 pC vs. 50 pC), and DIP packaging for prototyping-making it optimal for industrial DAQ and legacy system upgrades where rail range and ease of hand-soldering matter most.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for DG408DJ?
DG408DJ has an absolute maximum supply rating of 44 V between V+ and V− terminals. This allows operation from ±20 V dual supplies or up to +36 V single supply. Exceeding 44 V differential may cause permanent damage. The device is not rated for 44 V on a single rail relative to ground unless V− is tied to GND and V+ ≤ 44 V.
Does DG408DJ support single-supply operation?
Yes, DG408DJ supports true single-supply operation from +5 V to +36 V with V− connected to GND. In this configuration, analog signals can swing from 0 V to V+, and specifications including RDS(on) = 90 Ω typ and tTRANS = 180 ns are guaranteed at +12 V supply. Logic inputs remain TTL-compatible.
What is the function of the EN pin on DG408DJ?
The EN (enable) pin on DG408DJ is an active-high TTL-compatible control that globally disables all eight analog switches when low. When EN = 0 V, no channel conducts regardless of A0–A2 state. When EN = 2.4 V min, channel selection resumes per the address inputs. tON(EN) = 150 ns max ensures fast system-level reset.
How does DG408DJ handle overvoltage conditions on analog inputs?
DG408DJ includes internal clamping diodes on all Sx and D pins. Signals exceeding V+ or falling below V− forward-bias these diodes, limiting voltage excursion to ~0.7 V beyond the rails. To avoid excessive current, external series resistance must limit diode current to ≤20 mA. For enhanced protection, Vishay recommends adding 1N4148 diodes in series with V+ and V−.
Is DG408DJ pin-compatible with other Vishay multiplexers like DG409DJ?
No, DG408DJ is not pin-compatible with DG409DJ. DG408DJ uses an 8:1 single-ended topology with pins S1–S8, D, A0–A2, EN, V+, V−, and GND. DG409DJ is a dual 4:1 differential mux with paired S1a/S1b through S4a/S4b, Da/Db, and only A0/A1 - sharing only V+, V−, GND, EN, and package outline, but differing in signal pin count and assignment.
