Product details
Overview
DG408LDY-T1-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a precision 8-channel single-ended analog multiplexer IC designed to route one of eight analog inputs to a common output under 3-bit binary address control (A0–A2). It operates from 3 V to 12 V single supply or ±3 V to ±6 V dual supply, delivers 17 Ω typical on-resistance, 38 ns enable turn-on time, and guarantees break-before-make switching-enabling high-accuracy signal routing in portable data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the DG408LDY-T1-E3 datasheet, DG408LDY-T1-E3 pinout, DG408LDY-T1-E3 application, or DG408LDY-T1-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low 0.2 nA max off-leakage, 1 pC charge injection, 82 dB off-isolation at 1 MHz, TTL/CMOS/LV logic compatibility, and SOIC-16 package suitability for space-constrained battery-powered instrumentation.
Technical Context
The DG408LDY-T1-E3 implements BiCMOS process technology to achieve lower RDS(on), faster switching, and reduced power vs. legacy DG408. Its decoder/driver stage accepts standard 3 V logic levels (VINH ≥ 2.4 V, VINL ≤ 0.8 V) and drives eight independent analog switch channels with guaranteed break-before-make timing to prevent interchannel crosstalk during address transitions.
It supports rail-to-rail analog signal ranges (0–12 V single supply, –5 V to +5 V dual supply), features matched on-resistance (ΔRDS(on) ≤ 3 Ω), and maintains low capacitance (CS(off) = 7 pF, CD(off) = 20 pF) for minimal signal distortion in high-frequency sampling paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Channels | 8 single-ended channels with 3-bit address decoding (A0–A2) |
| Supply Range | 3 V to 12 V single supply or ±3 V to ±6 V dual supply - enables direct integration with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers and mixed-signal systems |
| RDS(on) | 17 Ω typ. at V+ = 12 V - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation in precision sensor interfaces |
| tON(EN) / tOFF(EN) | 38 ns / 18 ns typ. - supports >10 MSPS multiplexed sampling in data acquisition front-ends |
| Charge Injection | 1 pC typ. - reduces settling error in sample-and-hold circuits and ADC driver stages |
| Off-Isolation | 82 dB at 1 MHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive channels in multi-sensor monitoring |
| Leakage Current | 0.2 nA max. at 25 °C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance pH, thermocouple, or photodiode signal chains |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin narrow-body SOIC (JEDEC MS-012), 10.0 mm × 4.0 mm × 1.75 mm profile, RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish (E3 suffix), rated for –40 °C to +85 °C operation.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (S1) | Analog Input Channel 1 | First of eight bidirectional analog input/output terminals; routed to D when A2:A0 = 000 |
| 2 (S2) | Analog Input Channel 2 | Second channel; selected when A2:A0 = 001 - identical electrical characteristics to S1 |
| 3 (S3) | Analog Input Channel 3 | Third channel; supports rail-to-rail analog signals up to V+ or down to V− |
| 4 (S4) | Analog Input Channel 4 | Fourth channel; worst-case off-isolation occurs here due to proximity to drain pin |
| 5 (S5) | Analog Input Channel 5 | Fifth channel; shares same RDS(on) matching (≤3 Ω Δ) and flatness (≤7 Ω) as all channels |
| 6 (S6) | Analog Input Channel 6 | Sixth channel; compatible with 3 V logic control without level shifters |
| 7 (S7) | Analog Input Channel 7 | Seventh channel; low 20 pF CD(off) minimizes capacitive loading on source |
| 8 (S8) | Analog Input Channel 8 | Eighth channel; fully specified for leakage (≤0.2 nA) and charge injection (≤5 pC) |
| 9 (D) | Common Analog Output | Single bidirectional output node shared by all eight channels; connects to ADC input or amplifier stage |
| 10 (GND) | Ground Reference | Analog and digital ground return; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 11 (V−) | Negative Supply Rail | Required for dual-supply operation (±3 V to ±6 V); tied to GND for single-supply use |
| 12 (V+) | Positive Supply Rail | Primary power input (3–12 V); powers internal bias, logic, and switch circuitry |
| 13 (EN) | Enable Control Input | Active-high digital enable; disables all switches when low (high-impedance state) |
| 14 (A0) | LSB Address Input | Least-significant bit of 3-bit channel select bus; TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds |
| 15 (A1) | Mid-Significance Address Input | Second bit of address bus; 1.5 μA max input current avoids loading MCU GPIOs |
| 16 (A2) | MSB Address Input | Most-significant bit; completes full 0–7 channel selection with A1 and A0 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision analog switching | 17 Ω typical RDS(on) with ≤3 Ω matching across all 8 channels - enables consistent gain scaling in multi-channel sensor arrays |
| Break-before-make guarantee | 11 ns minimum tOPEN at 25 °C - eliminates momentary shorting between adjacent inputs during address changes |
| Ultra-low charge injection | 1 pC typical - limits voltage glitch on hold capacitors to <1 mV in 12-bit+ sample-and-hold designs |
| High off-isolation | 82 dB at 1 MHz - isolates active channel from 70+ dB of noise/interference from other inputs |
| Low-power operation | 0.2 μA typical I+ supply current - extends battery life in portable test equipment and IoT edge nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4051ACSE+ | 8-channel, 3 V–15 V supply, 100 Ω RDS(on), no break-before-make guarantee | Higher on-resistance increases gain error; lacks guaranteed BBM timing for critical sequencing | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision timing and low-RDS(on) requirements |
| ADG1408BRUZ | 8-channel, ±15 V/12 V supply, 4.7 Ω RDS(on), 125 ns tON, higher 12 mA supply current | Superior on-resistance but slower switching and higher power - unsuitable for portable battery life targets | Select when ultra-low RDS(on) dominates over speed and quiescent current in mains-powered lab gear |
Compared with MAX4051ACSE+ and ADG1408BRUZ, the DG408LDY-T1-E3 uniquely balances low 17 Ω RDS(on), 38 ns switching, 1 pC charge injection, and 0.2 μA supply current - making it optimal for portable, precision, and low-power multiplexed signal chains where all three parameters matter simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by DG408LDY-T1-E3?
The DG408LDY-T1-E3 supports rail-to-rail analog signals: 0 V to V+ in single-supply mode (e.g., 0–12 V at V+ = 12 V), or V− to V+ in dual-supply mode (e.g., –5 V to +5 V at ±5 V). Exceeding these ranges risks clamping by internal protection diodes and must be avoided per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does DG408LDY-T1-E3 require external pull-up resistors on address or enable pins?
No, DG408LDY-T1-E3 does not require external pull-ups. Its digital inputs (A0, A1, A2, EN) have CMOS-compatible thresholds (VINH ≥ 2.4 V, VINL ≤ 0.8 V at V+ = 12 V) and draw only ±1.5 μA max input current - allowing direct connection to MCU GPIOs without additional biasing components.
Can DG408LDY-T1-E3 operate reliably at 3 V supply voltage?
Yes, DG408LDY-T1-E3 is fully specified down to 3 V single supply: RDS(on) = 60 Ω typ., tON(EN) = 70 ns typ., and logic thresholds adjust to VINH ≥ 2.0 V / VINL ≤ 0.4 V. All parameters remain guaranteed across –40 °C to +85 °C at 3 V operation.
What is the thermal derating behavior of DG408LDY-T1-E3 in SOIC package?
In its 16-pin narrow SOIC package, DG408LDY-T1-E3 has a power dissipation limit of 600 mW at 75 °C ambient. Above 75 °C, it must be derated at 7.6 mW/°C - meaning maximum allowable power drops to 452 mW at 95 °C ambient, per datasheet Note c.
How does DG408LDY-T1-E3 ensure channel isolation during switching transitions?
DG408LDY-T1-E3 guarantees break-before-make (BBM) switching with minimum tOPEN = 11 ns at 25 °C. This ensures all previously selected channels fully disconnect before the next channel connects - preventing momentary shorts that could corrupt sensitive analog measurements or damage downstream circuitry.
