Product details
Overview
DG409LDY from Vishay Siliconix is a dual 4-channel differential analog multiplexer IC designed for precision signal routing in low-voltage systems. It features 2-bit address control (A0, A1), break-before-make switching, 17 Ω typical on-resistance at 12 V single supply, 38 ns enable turn-on time, and operates from 2.7 V to 12 V single or ±3 V to ±6 V dual supplies. It is used in portable test equipment and battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the DG409LDY datasheet, DG409LDY pinout, DG409LDY application, or DG409LDY equivalent, key selection considerations include its guaranteed break-before-make timing, low 0.2 nA max off-leakage, 1 pC charge injection, 82 dB crosstalk rejection at 1 MHz, and SOIC-16 package compatibility with legacy DG409 footprints.
Technical Context
The DG409LDY implements a BiCMOS process architecture enabling rail-to-rail analog signal handling across wide supply ranges. Its dual 4-channel topology supports differential input selection via independent A0/A1 decoding, with common dual outputs (Da/Db) and shared enable (EN) control.
Break-before-make timing is guaranteed by internal logic design-not just typical behavior-ensuring no momentary channel overlap during address transitions. All digital inputs are TTL/CMOS/LV logic compatible down to 3 V, with defined VIH/VIL thresholds (2.4 V / 0.6 V at 5 V supply) and sub-1.5 μA input current.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual differential analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4674ESE+ | Higher RDS(on) (45 Ω typ.), slower tON (75 ns), but offers 1.8 V logic compatibility and wider temp range (−40°C to +105°C) | Preferred for ultra-low-voltage microcontroller interfaces where 3 V logic margin is insufficient | Select MAX4674ESE+ only if system uses 1.8 V I/O and requires extended temperature operation beyond +85°C |
| ADG409BRZ | Higher leakage (10 nA max.), no guaranteed break-before-make, but provides 20 V supply capability and better high-frequency isolation (>90 dB @ 100 kHz) | Suitable for industrial HV signal conditioning where extended voltage range outweighs leakage sensitivity | Choose ADG409BRZ when analog signals exceed ±6 V or when >90 dB off-isolation at 100 kHz is mandatory |
Compared with MAX4674ESE+ and ADG409BRZ, DG409LDY delivers superior low-leakage performance (0.2 nA vs. 10 nA), guaranteed break-before-make timing, and lower on-resistance (17 Ω vs. 45–50 Ω), making it optimal for precision, low-power, and cost-sensitive portable instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the DG409LDY?
The DG409LDY supports analog signals from V− to V+, covering 0 V to 12 V in single-supply mode or −5 V to +5 V in ±5 V dual-supply mode. At V+ = 12 V and V− = 0 V, the full analog range is 0–12 V; at V+ = 5 V and V− = −5 V, it is −5 V to +5 V. Exceeding these limits risks clamping by internal protection diodes.
Does the DG409LDY require external pull-up resistors on its address or enable pins?
No, the DG409LDY does not require external pull-up resistors. Its digital inputs (A0, A1, EN) have CMOS-compatible thresholds and draw less than ±1.5 μA input current. Internal biasing is sufficient for clean logic-level recognition when driven directly from microcontrollers or FPGAs operating at 3 V or 5 V.
How is break-before-make timing ensured in the DG409LDY?
Break-before-make timing in the DG409LDY is guaranteed by internal logic design-not statistical behavior. The device enforces a minimum 1 ns open interval (tOPEN) between channel deactivation and activation during address changes, verified across temperature and voltage. This prevents momentary shorting between differential inputs, critical for protecting sensitive sources.
Can the DG409LDY operate from a 3.3 V single supply?
Yes, the DG409LDY is fully specified for 3 V operation. At V+ = 3 V, it delivers 60 Ω typical RDS(on), 70 ns tON(EN), and maintains 0.2 nA max. off-leakage. Logic inputs accept 0.4 V (low) and 2.0 V (high) thresholds, ensuring reliable interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers without level translation.
What is the thermal derating behavior of the DG409LDY in SOIC-16 package?
In its 16-pin narrow SOIC package, the DG409LDY has a power dissipation limit of 600 mW at 25 °C, derating linearly at 7.6 mW/°C above 75 °C. At 105 °C ambient, usable power drops to approximately 372 mW. PCB layout must provide adequate copper area and airflow to maintain junction temperature within −40 °C to +85 °C operating range.
