Product details
Overview
DG409LEDQ-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a dual 4-channel differential analog multiplexer designed for precision signal routing in instrumentation and medical systems. It operates on single (3–16 V) or dual (±3–±8 V) supplies, delivers 15 Ω typical on-resistance at ±5 V, guarantees break-before-make switching, and supports TTL/CMOS/LV logic with 1 nA max off-leakage - ideal for low-power data acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the DG409LEDQ-GE3 datasheet, DG409LEDQ-GE3 pinout, DG409LEDQ-GE3 application, or DG409LEDQ-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its differential 4:1 x 2 configuration, QFN16 (3 mm × 3 mm) package with exposed pad, -109 dB crosstalk at 100 kHz, and guaranteed tON/tOFF of 72 ns/50 ns under full temperature range (-40 °C to +85 °C).
Technical Context
The DG409LEDQ-GE3 implements a dual independent 4:1 differential switch architecture with separate A0/A1 address decoding per channel pair and shared EN control. Each 4-channel block routes one differential input (S1a/S1b through S4a/S4b) to common differential outputs (Da/Db), supporting bidirectional analog signal flow with rail-to-rail voltage handling up to ±5 V.
Its internal voltage regulator powers logic circuitry independently, enabling stable 6 μA max supply current across supply voltages and reducing system power dependency. Break-before-make timing (tOPEN ≥ 75 ns) is guaranteed to prevent transient crosstalk during channel transitions, and all digital inputs meet TTL-compatible thresholds across the full operating temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Configuration | Dual 4:1 differential analog multiplexer - two independent 4-input differential switch banks sharing one enable and address bus. |
| On-resistance (RDS(on)) | 15 Ω typ. at ±5 V - enables low insertion loss and minimal gain error in precision sensor signal paths. |
| Crosstalk | -109 dB at 100 kHz - ensures high channel isolation critical for multi-sensor differential measurements. |
| Switching time (tON/tOFF) | 72 ns / 50 ns max. over -40 °C to +85 °C - supports sampling rates up to ~10 MHz in automated test equipment. |
| Off-leakage current | ±5 nA max. at full temperature - preserves accuracy in high-impedance biomedical front-ends (e.g., ECG, EEG). |
| Supply range | Single: 3–16 V; Dual: ±3 V to ±8 V - accommodates battery-powered portable devices and industrial ±5 V rails. |
| Logic compatibility | TTL/CMOS/LV (3 V) - interfaces directly with microcontrollers, FPGAs, and ADC drivers without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin QFN (3 mm × 3 mm), exposed thermal pad (may be connected to GND, V−, or left floating per design requirements).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 (S1a–S4a) | Differential source inputs (Channel A) | Positive-side analog inputs for four differential channels; conduct bidirectionally when selected. |
| 5 (Da) | Differential output (A-side) | Common positive output node for selected Sxa channel; routed to external differential receiver. |
| 6 (Db) | Differential output (B-side) | Common negative output node for selected Sxb channel; pairs with Da for balanced signal delivery. |
| 7, 8, 9, 10 (S1b–S4b) | Differential source inputs (Channel B) | Negative-side analog inputs corresponding to S1a–S4a; matched to maintain common-mode rejection. |
| 11 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; resets all switches to OFF state when low - enables stacking and power-gating. |
| 12, 13 (A0, A1) | Binary address inputs | Selects one of four differential pairs (00→S1, 01→S2, 10→S3, 11→S4); TTL/CMOS compatible. |
| 14 (GND) | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for logic and analog sections; decoupling recommended near pin. |
| 15 (V−) | Negative supply rail | Accepts 0 V (single-supply) or negative voltage (dual-supply); sets lower analog signal limit. |
| 16 (V+) | Positive supply rail | Accepts 3–16 V (single) or +3–+8 V (dual); powers analog switches and internal regulator. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Break-before-make guarantee | Prevents momentary shorting between adjacent differential channels during address changes - eliminates transient crosstalk in sensitive measurement systems. |
| Internal logic regulator | Decouples digital control power from analog supply rails, reducing supply noise coupling and enabling stable 6 μA max I+ across voltage ranges. |
| Differential 4:1 x 2 topology | Supports true differential signal routing without external baluns or op-amp buffering - preserves CMRR and reduces PCB area in medical sensors. |
| Low charge injection (-10 pC) | Minimizes voltage glitches at high-impedance nodes (e.g., ADC sample capacitors), improving DC accuracy in data acquisition. |
| ESD protection | ±2.5 kV HBM - enhances robustness during board assembly and field handling in portable healthcare devices. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4619ESE+ | Single 4:1 differential mux (not dual); 12 Ω RDS(on); SOIC-16 only; no internal regulator. | Suitable for space-constrained single-bank routing but lacks dual independent channel capability. | Select when only one differential 4:1 path is needed and QFN footprint is not required. |
| ADG1419BRUZ | 12 Ω RDS(on); ±15 V dual-supply capable; TSSOP-16; higher 125 ns tON; no integrated logic regulator. | Better for high-voltage industrial sensing but less optimized for low-power portable designs. | Prefer for ±15 V systems where wider signal swing outweighs power and speed advantages of DG409LEDQ-GE3. |
Compared with MAX4619ESE+ and ADG1419BRUZ, the DG409LEDQ-GE3 uniquely combines dual independent 4:1 differential switching, QFN16 compactness, internal logic regulation for ultra-low I+, and guaranteed break-before-make - making it optimal for portable, multi-sensor medical and test equipment where size, power, and channel integrity are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for DG409LEDQ-GE3?
The DG409LEDQ-GE3 supports single-supply operation up to 16 V and dual-supply operation up to ±8 V. Absolute maximum ratings specify V+ to V− ≤ 18 V, and exceeding these limits risks permanent damage. For reliable operation in medical or industrial environments, design margins should maintain V+ ≤ 15 V and |V−| ≤ 7.5 V.
Does DG409LEDQ-GE3 require external level-shifting for 3.3 V microcontroller control?
No - DG409LEDQ-GE3 features LV logic compatibility down to 3 V, with VINL ≤ 0.6 V and VINH ≥ 2.4 V at V+ = 5 V, ensuring direct interface with 3.3 V GPIOs without level shifters. Its internal regulator maintains consistent logic thresholds across supply voltages, simplifying mixed-voltage system design.
How is the exposed thermal pad on the QFN16 package of DG409LEDQ-GE3 intended to be used?
The exposed pad on DG409LEDQ-GE3 may be connected to GND, V−, or left floating based on thermal and noise requirements. Vishay recommends soldering it to a dedicated thermal pad tied to GND for optimal heat dissipation and noise suppression - especially critical in low-noise medical signal chains where thermal resistance must stay below 40 °C/W.
Is DG409LEDQ-GE3 pin-compatible with legacy DG409 variants?
Yes - DG409LEDQ-GE3 is pin-for-pin compatible with DG409 and DG509 in QFN16, SOIC16, and TSSOP16 packages. The "LE" suffix denotes enhanced performance (lower RDS(on), improved crosstalk), while "-GE3" confirms lead-free/RoHS compliance. No PCB layout changes are needed when upgrading from standard DG409 parts.
What is the guaranteed break-before-make interval for DG409LEDQ-GE3?
The DG409LEDQ-GE3 guarantees a minimum break-before-make time (tOPEN) of 75 ns at room temperature and 120 ns maximum over full -40 °C to +85 °C range under ±5 V dual-supply conditions. This ensures no overlap between channel conduction states, preventing transient short circuits in high-precision differential measurement paths.
