Product details
Overview
DG409LDQ-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a dual 4-channel differential analog multiplexer IC designed for precision signal routing in low-voltage systems. It supports single-supply operation from 3 V to 12 V or dual ±3 V to ±6 V, delivers 17 Ω typical on-resistance, 38 ns enable turn-on time, and guarantees break-before-make switching - enabling reliable channel isolation in data acquisition and portable test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the DG409LDQ-E3 datasheet, DG409LDQ-E3 pinout, DG409LDQ-E3 application, or DG409LDQ-E3 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation guidance, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The DG409LDQ-E3 implements a dual 4:1 differential analog switch architecture using BiCMOS process technology, enabling rail-to-rail analog signal handling across its full supply range. Its 2-bit binary address (A0, A1) selects one of four differential input pairs (S1a/S1b through S4a/S4b) to connect to common differential outputs (Da/Db), with independent enable (EN) control per bank.
It features guaranteed break-before-make timing (tOPEN ≥ 1 ns at 25 °C), low charge injection (1 pC), and high off-isolation (–82 dB at 1 MHz), making it suitable for sample-and-hold circuits and multi-channel instrumentation where crosstalk and signal corruption must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | 3 V to 12 V single supply or ±3 V to ±6 V dual supply - supports battery-powered and mixed-rail systems without level-shifting. |
| RDS(on) | 17 Ω typ. at V+ = 12 V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision analog paths. |
| tON(EN) | 38 ns typ. at V+ = 12 V - enables fast channel selection for high-throughput data acquisition. |
| Off-Isolation | –82 dB at 1 MHz - suppresses inter-channel interference in dense multi-signal routing applications. |
| Charge Injection | 1 pC - reduces sampling error and settling time in precision ADC front-ends and sample-and-hold stages. |
| IS(OFF) | 0.2 nA max. - maintains signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and low-leakage measurement circuits. |
| ESD Rating | 2000 V HBM - improves robustness during board assembly and field handling without external protection. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin TSSOP (JEDEC MO-153, Vishay package code LDQ), 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, lead-free (RoHS-compliant), rated for –40 °C to +85 °C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 (S1a, S2a, S3a, S4a) |
Differential source inputs (bank A) | Accept positive-side analog signals of four differential input pairs; routed to Da when selected. |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 (S1b, S2b, S3b, S4b) |
Differential source inputs (bank B) | Accept negative-side analog signals corresponding to S1a–S4a; routed to Db when selected. |
| 9 (EN) | Enable input | Active-high logic control: disables all switches when low; required for power gating and channel arbitration. |
| 10 (A0), 11 (A1) | Address inputs | 2-bit binary select: determines which of four differential pairs (S1–S4) connects to Da/Db outputs. |
| 12 (GND) | Analog/digital ground | Common reference for analog signals and digital control; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
| 13 (V−) | Negative supply rail | Supports dual-supply operation down to –6 V; clamps input signals exceeding V− by internal diodes. |
| 14 (V+) | Positive supply rail | Supplies analog and digital circuitry; accepts 3–12 V single or ±3–6 V dual; powers internal level shifters. |
| 15 (Da), 16 (Db) | Differential outputs | Deliver selected differential analog signal; require matched trace lengths and termination for optimal CMRR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed tOPEN ≥ 1 ns prevents momentary shorting between adjacent channels during address transitions. |
| TTL/CMOS/LV logic compatibility | Operates with 3 V logic levels (VINH ≥ 2.4 V, VINL ≤ 0.8 V) - eliminates need for external level translators. |
| Low on-resistance flatness | 7 Ω max. variation across analog signal range - preserves gain accuracy and linearity in amplifier feedback paths. |
| High off-isolation | –82 dB at 1 MHz - enables simultaneous monitoring of multiple sensors without measurable crosstalk coupling. |
| Dual-supply flexibility | ±3 V to ±6 V operation supports bipolar signal conditioning in audio, instrumentation, and industrial I/O modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 4-channel differential analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4675ESE+ | Higher RDS(on) (45 Ω typ. at 5 V), slower tON (75 ns), no guaranteed break-before-make. | Better ESD rating (4 kV HBM); optimized for 5 V-only systems with less stringent timing requirements. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed/leakage needs and 5 V supply is fixed. |
| ADG1409BRUZ | Lower RDS(on) (4.7 Ω typ.), faster switching (tON = 120 ns), but higher supply current (200 μA vs. 0.7 μA). | Requires external VLOGIC pin for 3 V logic compatibility; better for high-precision, low-distortion audio routing. | Select when ultra-low on-resistance and THD performance are critical, and standby power is secondary. |
Compared with MAX4675ESE+ and ADG1409BRUZ, the DG409LDQ-E3 uniquely balances low leakage (0.2 nA), fast enable timing (38 ns), and guaranteed break-before-make in a 3–12 V flexible supply envelope - making it optimal for portable, multi-channel, low-power precision measurement designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for DG409LDQ-E3?
The DG409LDQ-E3 is specified for operation from –40 °C to +85 °C, matching the D temperature suffix in Vishay's ordering nomenclature. This range is validated across all electrical parameters including RDS(on), leakage, and switching times, and applies to the 16-pin TSSOP package used in the DG409LDQ-E3 variant.
Does DG409LDQ-E3 support true dual-supply operation with independent analog and digital grounds?
No - the DG409LDQ-E3 uses a single GND pin (Pin 12) shared for both analog and digital reference. It supports dual supplies (±3 V to ±6 V) but requires a common ground connection between V+ and V− rails. Separate AGND/DGND partitioning is not supported in this device.
Can DG409LDQ-E3 be used with 3 V logic control signals while operating from a 12 V analog supply?
Yes - DG409LDQ-E3 is TTL/CMOS/LV logic compatible with VINH ≥ 2.4 V and VINL ≤ 0.8 V, allowing direct interface to 3 V microcontrollers even when V+ = 12 V. Internal level shifters eliminate external translation circuitry.
What is the significance of "break-before-make" in DG409LDQ-E3, and is it guaranteed across temperature?
Break-before-make ensures no overlap between channel disconnect and reconnect during address changes, preventing transient shorts. DG409LDQ-E3 guarantees tOPEN ≥ 1 ns at 25 °C; full-range guarantee is not specified, but worst-case testing confirms functionality across –40 °C to +85 °C per Vishay's characterization.
How does DG409LDQ-E3 differ from the standard DG409 in terms of performance?
DG409LDQ-E3 offers lower RDS(on) (17 Ω vs. 45 Ω typ. at 12 V), faster switching (tON = 38 ns vs. 100 ns), lower leakage (0.2 nA vs. 10 nA), and improved off-isolation (–82 dB vs. –70 dB). It is pin-for-pin compatible with DG409 but built on BiCMOS for enhanced low-voltage operation.
