Product details
Overview
DG409LDY-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a dual 4-channel differential analog multiplexer IC designed for precision signal routing in low-voltage systems. It features 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 battery-powered test equipment for reliable channel selection without crosstalk.
For engineers reviewing the DG409LDY-E3 datasheet, DG409LDY-E3 pinout, DG409LDY-E3 application, or DG409LDY-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed break-before-make timing, low 0.2 nA max off-leakage at 25 °C, 82 dB off-isolation at 1 MHz, and SOIC-16 package compatibility with legacy DG409 designs.
Technical Context
The DG409LDY-E3 implements a dual 4:1 differential switch architecture using BiCMOS process technology, enabling rail-to-rail analog signal handling across its ±5 V to +12 V operating range. Its internal decoder drives two independent 4-channel paths, each controlled by a 2-bit binary address (A0, A1) and shared enable (EN) input.
Break-before-make timing is guaranteed per datasheet Figure 4 (tOPEN ≥ 1 ns), preventing momentary shorting between differential pairs during channel transitions. Digital inputs are TTL/CMOS/LV logic compatible down to 3 V, with defined thresholds (VINH ≥ 2.4 V, VINL ≤ 0.6 V at V+ = 5 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | Dual 4-channel differential analog multiplexer - routes one of four differential input pairs to common differential outputs. |
| On-Resistance | 17 Ω typ. at V+ = 12 V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision measurement paths. |
| Switching Speed | tON(EN) = 38 ns typ., tOFF(EN) = 18 ns typ. at V+ = 12 V - supports high-throughput data acquisition up to ~10 MHz effective sample rate. |
| Off-Isolation | 82 dB at 1 MHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive and active differential channels in dense routing layouts. |
| Charge Injection | 1 pC typ. - minimizes voltage glitch on sample-and-hold capacitors during switching, critical for ADC front-end accuracy. |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 12 V single supply or ±3 V to ±6 V dual supply - enables operation in both portable (3 V) and industrial (±5 V) signal chains. |
| Leakage Current | ±0.2 nA max. IS(OFF) at 25 °C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and long-hold-time sample circuits. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin SOIC (narrow body, JEDEC MS-012), 10.0 mm × 4.0 mm × 1.75 mm height, RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish (E3 suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 13, 14, 15, 16 |
S1a–S4a / S1b–S4b | Differential source inputs - accept complementary analog signals; pin-paired for matched layout (e.g., S1a/S1b form Channel 1). |
| 5, 6 | A0, A1 | Binary address inputs - select one of four differential channels (00–11); CMOS-compatible, no external pull-ups required. |
| 7 | EN | Active-high enable - disables all switches when low; guarantees break-before-make behavior during transitions. |
| 8 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be low-impedance connection; separates from power ground if noise isolation needed. |
| 9, 10 | Da, Db | Differential outputs - deliver selected differential pair; routed as tightly coupled traces to preserve common-mode rejection. |
| 11, 12 | V−, V+ | Analog supply rails - support single (V− = GND) or dual (V− = −5 V, V+ = +5 V) operation; bypass with 0.1 µF ceramic near pins. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin-for-pin compatibility with DG409 | Direct replacement for legacy DG409 designs without PCB rework - same footprint, pinout, and logic interface. |
| Guaranteed break-before-make | tOPEN ≥ 1 ns ensures no overlap between channel closures - eliminates transient shorts in sensitive differential signal paths. |
| Low charge injection (1 pC) | Reduces settling error in precision sample-and-hold and switched-capacitor circuits, improving DC accuracy. |
| 2000 V HBM ESD rating | Enables robust handling during assembly and field operation in uncontrolled environments without additional protection. |
| 82 dB off-isolation at 1 MHz | Maintains signal integrity in multi-channel instrumentation where adjacent channel crosstalk must be < −80 dB. |

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. at 5 V), slower tON (75 ns), no guaranteed break-before-make. | Acceptable for non-critical audio routing but unsuitable for precision medical or metrology where channel overlap must be avoided. | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs timing integrity requirements; verify system-level crosstalk margin. |
| ADG1414BRUZ | Lower leakage (±5 pA typ.), higher supply range (±15 V), but larger TSSOP-20 package and no SOIC-16 option. | Preferred for high-voltage industrial DAQ, but requires PCB redesign due to different pin count and layout. | Choose when > ±10 V signal swing or sub-pA leakage is mandatory; not drop-in for DG409LDY-E3 footprint. |
Compared with MAX4674ESE+ and ADG1414BRUZ, DG409LDY-E3 uniquely balances SOIC-16 pin compatibility, guaranteed break-before-make, and 17 Ω on-resistance at low supply voltages - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-operated precision instruments requiring zero-layout-change upgrades.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for DG409LDY-E3?
The absolute maximum voltage between V+ and V− is 14 V. For reliable operation, the recommended single-supply range is 2.7 V to 12 V, and dual-supply range is ±3 V to ±6 V. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (Document Number 71342, Rev. J).
Does DG409LDY-E3 support true differential signaling with common-mode rejection?
Yes, DG409LDY-E3 is explicitly designed as a dual 4-channel differential analog multiplexer. Its S1a/S1b through S4a/S4b pin pairs accept complementary inputs, and Da/Db deliver differential outputs - enabling full differential path routing that preserves common-mode rejection when paired with downstream instrumentation amplifiers.
Is break-before-make timing guaranteed across temperature for DG409LDY-E3?
Yes, break-before-make is guaranteed per datasheet Figure 4 and specified as tOPEN ≥ 1 ns (minimum) at room temperature. While not characterized over full −40 °C to +85 °C, the BiCMOS design and test methodology ensure this behavior holds across the rated operating range, as stated in the Functional Description section.
Can DG409LDY-E3 operate from a 3.3 V single supply?
Yes, DG409LDY-E3 supports 2.7 V to 12 V single-supply operation. At V+ = 3.3 V, typical on-resistance is 60 Ω, tON(EN) is 70 ns, and logic thresholds adjust to VINH ≥ 2.0 V and VINL ≤ 0.4 V - fully compatible with standard 3.3 V CMOS I/O without level shifting.
What is the thermal derating specification for DG409LDY-E3 in SOIC-16 package?
For the 16-pin narrow SOIC package (DY suffix), power dissipation must be derated by 7.6 mW/°C above 75 °C ambient, as specified in Note c of the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This ensures junction temperature remains within safe limits under sustained load conditions.
