Product details
Overview
DG411AK from Vishay Siliconix is a precision monolithic quad SPST CMOS analog switch designed for high-speed, low-error signal routing in dual-supply systems. It features 25 Ω on-resistance, 110 ns turn-on time, ±15 V analog signal range, and operates across –55 °C to +125 °C in 16-pin CerDIP packaging - ideal for military-grade test equipment and ruggedized data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the DG411AK datasheet, DG411AK pinout, DG411AK application, or DG411AK equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed rDS(on) ≤ 45 Ω over full temperature range, break-before-make timing compliance, TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, and 44 V max supply rating with latchup-immune silicon gate process.
Technical Context
The DG411AK implements four independent bidirectional SPST switches using high-voltage silicon gate CMOS technology with epitaxial isolation to prevent latchup. Each switch conducts equally in both directions when ON and blocks signals up to supply rails when OFF.
It supports dual-supply operation (±15 V typical) and single-supply mode (up to 44 V), with logic control referenced to VL (typically 5 V). The DG411AK uses active-low enable logic: logic "0" (≤ 0.8 V) turns switches ON; logic "1" (≥ 2.4 V) turns them OFF - distinct from DG412's inverted logic and DG413's mixed NO/NC configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15 V - supports full-rail bipolar signal switching without clipping in precision instrumentation. |
| rDS(on) Max | 45 Ω at ±15 V, –55 °C to +125 °C - ensures minimal gain error and THD degradation in 12-bit+ data paths. |
| tON / tOFF | 240 ns / 160 ns max over full temp - enables sub-microsecond multiplexing in automated test systems. |
| Charge Injection | 5 pC - limits voltage step errors in sample-and-hold and switched-capacitor circuits. |
| Off Isolation (OIRR) | 68 dB at 1 MHz - suppresses crosstalk between adjacent channels in multi-channel DAQ front-ends. |
| Supply Voltage Range | V+ to V– = 44 V max - allows operation from ±22 V supplies or 0–44 V unipolar rails. |
| Logic Supply (VL) | (GND –0.3 V) to (V+) +0.3 V - enables direct interfacing with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers without level shifters. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (CerDIP), hermetically sealed, rated for –55 °C to +125 °C operation and suitable for high-reliability military/aerospace applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 | Digital control inputs | Active-low logic: INx = 0 V → corresponding switch ON; compatible with TTL/CMOS thresholds. |
| S1–S4 | Switch source terminals | Bidirectional analog I/O; connect to signal sources or sensor outputs. |
| D1–D4 | Switch drain terminals | Bidirectional analog I/O; connect to ADC inputs, amplifier stages, or multiplexer outputs. |
| V+ | Positive analog supply | Accepts up to +44 V; must be ≥ |V–| for proper switch biasing and rail-to-rail conduction. |
| V– | Negative analog supply | Accepts down to –44 V; establishes lower analog rail and defines switch OFF-state blocking range. |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Common return for V– and analog signal paths; separate from digital ground unless system design permits sharing. |
| VL | Logic supply reference | Defines logic threshold; typically tied to +5 V or +3.3 V; must remain within (V– –0.3 V) to (V+ +0.3 V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision analog switching | Guaranteed rDS(on) ≤ 45 Ω over –55 °C to +125 °C ensures stable gain and linearity in calibrated systems. |
| Break-before-make timing | Prevents momentary shorting during channel transitions - critical for avoiding signal glitches in multiplexed sensor arrays. |
| Latchup immunity | Epitaxial layer isolation eliminates destructive latchup under transient overvoltage or ESD events. |
| Ultra-low power dissipation | 0.35 W typical - enables dense packaging in battery-powered or thermally constrained portable test gear. |
| Wide dynamic range | ±15 V analog swing with < 0.01% THD supports 16-bit resolution in precision data acquisition front-ends. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4617CPE+ | Higher rDS(on) (100 Ω typ), narrower temp range (–40 °C to +85 °C), SOIC-16 only | Not qualified for extended temperature or hermetic packaging; unsuitable for aerospace/military use | Select only for commercial-grade cost-sensitive designs where ±15 V signal range and 125 °C operation are not required. |
| ADG411BRZ | Lower leakage (0.1 nA max), same rDS(on) spec, but limited to –40 °C to +85 °C and plastic DIP/SOIC | Lacks MIL-PRF-38535 qualification and CerDIP packaging; not approved for high-reliability programs | Prefer for medical or industrial DAQ where long-term reliability matters more than extreme temperature or radiation hardness. |
Compared with MAX4617CPE+ and ADG411BRZ, the DG411AK delivers unique value in extended temperature operation, hermetic sealing, and guaranteed performance across military-grade supply and signal margins - making it irreplaceable in certified avionics and space-qualified subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for DG411AK?
The DG411AK supports a maximum V+ to V– differential of 44 V. This means it can operate with ±22 V supplies, +44 V/0 V, or any combination where the absolute difference does not exceed 44 V. Exceeding this rating risks permanent damage to the internal protection diodes and switch elements. Always observe derating curves above +75 °C ambient per the datasheet's power dissipation table.
Does DG411AK support single-supply operation?
Yes, DG411AK supports single-supply operation from 5 V to 44 V. In this mode, V+ is connected to VL (logic supply), and V– is tied to ground. The analog signal range becomes 0 V to V+, and the input logic thresholds scale accordingly - verified in the Input Switching Threshold vs. Supply Voltage curve on page 4-5 of the datasheet.
What is the logic polarity of DG411AK control inputs?
DG411AK uses active-low logic: applying ≤ 0.8 V to IN1–IN4 turns the corresponding switch ON, while ≥ 2.4 V turns it OFF. This is confirmed in the Truth Table on page 4-1 and distinguishes DG411AK from DG412AK (active-high) and DG413AK (mixed NO/NC configuration). No external inverters are needed for microcontroller GPIO interfacing.
Is DG411AK pin-compatible with DG411DJ or DG411DY?
No - DG411AK uses a 16-pin CerDIP package with different lead frame geometry and thermal characteristics than the plastic DIP (DG411DJ) or narrow SOIC (DG411DY). While pin functions match electrically, mechanical fit, solder reflow profile, and thermal resistance differ significantly. PCB layout must be redesigned for CerDIP mounting and hermetic sealing requirements.
What is the guaranteed rDS(on) specification for DG411AK over temperature?
DG411AK guarantees rDS(on) ≤ 45 Ω across its full operating temperature range of –55 °C to +125 °C when tested at V+ = 15 V, V– = –15 V, IS = –10 mA, and VD = 8.5 V. This is specified in the "Min/Max" column under "Full" temperature condition on page 4-3 of the datasheet - a key differentiator versus commercial-grade alternatives.
