Product details
Overview
DG408DY 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 signal handling up to ±20V dual supply or +30V single supply, and operates across -40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the DG408DY datasheet, DG408DY pinout, DG408DY application, or DG408DY equivalent, key selection criteria include on-resistance flatness (9Ω max), input off-leakage (<5nA at +85°C), enable-controlled switching (tON(EN) = 100ns typ), TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs, and TSSOP/SO package compatibility for space-constrained layouts.
Technical Context
The DG408DY implements an 8-channel analog switch matrix with binary-decoded address inputs (A0–A2) and active-low enable (EN), supporting both multiplexing and demultiplexing modes. Its CMOS transmission-gate architecture ensures symmetrical conduction and low distortion across the full analog signal range (±15V typical).
It operates from ±5V to ±20V dual supplies or +5V to +30V single supply (V− tied to GND), with ESD protection exceeding 2000V per MIL-STD-883 Method 3015.7. Switch control logic tolerates TTL/CMOS voltage levels (VAL ≤ 0.8V, VAH ≥ 2.4V), and all analog terminals support rail-to-rail voltage swing relative to V+ and V−.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance | 100Ω max - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision gain-setting or sensor front-end paths |
| On-Resistance Matching | 8Ω max - guarantees consistent channel gain/attenuation in multi-channel calibration or ratiometric measurement systems |
| Charge Injection | 15pC max - limits voltage glitch and settling time in sample-and-hold circuits using small hold capacitors |
| Analog Signal Range | ±15V (dual), +30V (single) - supports industrial sensor outputs, audio line-level signals, and legacy instrumentation interfaces |
| Input Off-Leakage | 5nA max at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance pH, thermocouple, or photodiode amplifier inputs |
| Enable Turn-On Time | 100ns typ - enables fast channel switching in automated test equipment scan sequences |

Pinout & Package
DG408DY is supplied in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package, 3.9mm width, JEDEC MS-012 compliant, with gull-wing leads and 1.27mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15, 16 | A0, A1, A2 | Binary address inputs selecting one of eight analog channels (S1–S8); logic thresholds 0.8V/2.4V support direct MCU GPIO interface |
| 2 | EN | Active-low enable controlling global switch array; 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; identical electrical characteristics allow flexible mux/demux configuration |
| 8 | D | Common bidirectional analog output/input terminal; connects to selected Sx channel when enabled |
| 13 | V+ | Positive supply rail; supports up to +30V in single-supply mode or +20V in dual-supply mode |
| 14 | GND | Ground reference for logic inputs and internal biasing; separate from analog signal ground in mixed-signal PCB layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PIN-COMPATIBLE UPGRADE | Direct replacement for legacy DG408 - no PCB or firmware changes required for performance enhancement |
| Rail-to-Rail Signal Handling | Supports analog signals from V− to V+ without clipping - essential for ±10V industrial I/O and unipolar 0–24V sensor interfaces |
| Guaranteed On-Resistance Flatness | 9Ω max variation across full signal range - maintains linearity in precision attenuator or programmable-gain amplifier applications |
| Low Power Consumption | 1.25mW max at +25°C - enables battery-powered portable instrumentation and low-heat-density multichannel DAQ modules |
| TTL/CMOS-Compatible Control | Accepts standard logic levels without level-shifting - simplifies interface to microcontrollers, FPGAs, and CPLDs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG408BRUZ | 16-pin TSSOP; 75Ω max on-resistance; 10pC max charge injection; −40°C to +85°C | Lower on-resistance and charge injection, but requires different PCB footprint and has tighter supply voltage limits (±16.5V max) | Select ADG408BRUZ when lower distortion and faster settling are critical, and board redesign is acceptable. |
| MAX4617ESA+ | 8-channel, 30Ω max on-resistance, +2.7V to +12V single-supply only, −40°C to +85°C | Optimized for low-voltage portable systems; incompatible with ±15V or +24V industrial rails | Choose MAX4617ESA+ for battery-powered handheld instruments where supply headroom is constrained. |
Compared with DG408DY, ADG408BRUZ offers superior analog performance but demands layout revision, while MAX4617ESA+ sacrifices voltage range and on-resistance for ultra-low supply operation-making DG408DY the optimal choice for industrial-grade, wide-supply, drop-in upgrade scenarios.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for DG408DY in dual-supply operation?
The DG408DY supports dual-supply operation from ±5V to ±20V. The 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 compromise long-term reliability. Always observe the recommended operating conditions in the official Maxim datasheet for DG408DY.
Does DG408DY support single-supply operation, and how is it configured?
Yes, DG408DY supports single-supply operation from +5V to +30V. To configure it, tie the V− pin to GND (not left floating), apply the positive supply to V+, and ensure all analog signals remain within 0V to V+. Digital inputs retain TTL/CMOS compatibility. This configuration is commonly used in PLC analog input modules and portable data loggers where negative supply rails are unavailable.
Is DG408DY pin-compatible with the original industry-standard DG408?
Yes, DG408DY is explicitly designed as a pin-compatible plug-in upgrade for the legacy DG408. Its pinout, package outline (16-pin narrow SO), and logic-level timing match exactly. No PCB layout or firmware modifications are needed to replace older DG408 variants with DG408DY, delivering improved on-resistance matching, lower charge injection, and enhanced temperature stability out-of-the-box.
What is the guaranteed on-resistance flatness specification for DG408DY, and why does it matter?
DG408DY guarantees on-resistance flatness of 9Ω maximum across its full specified analog signal range. This means the variation in rDS(ON) from minimum to maximum measured at signal extremes (e.g., V− to V+) stays within 9Ω. In practice, this ensures consistent gain and minimal harmonic distortion when used in programmable-gain amplifiers or precision attenuator networks-critical for 12-bit+ data-acquisition accuracy.
How does DG408DY handle ESD, and what protection level is assured?
DG408DY is tested and guaranteed to withstand >2000V HBM (Human Body Model) ESD per MIL-STD-883 Method 3015.7. This level of protection makes it suitable for use in lab environments, field-serviceable test gear, and industrial control panels where accidental static discharge is common. No external ESD clamps are required for basic handling robustness, though system-level protection remains recommended for mission-critical deployments.
