Product details
Overview
DG418BDY from Vishay Siliconix is a precision monolithic SPST CMOS analog switch optimized for bidirectional signal routing in high-accuracy instrumentation and portable systems. It features ±15 V analog signal range, 15 Ω typical on-resistance, 110 ns turn-on time, TTL/CMOS-compatible control logic, and operates over –40 °C to +85 °C in SOIC-8 package - enabling low-distortion switching in battery-powered test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the DG418BDY datasheet, DG418BDY pinout, DG418BDY application, or DG418BDY equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, validated SOIC-8 terminal mapping, real-world use cases in precision sample-and-hold and military radio front-ends, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The DG418BDY implements a single-pole single-throw (SPST) switch architecture built on Vishay's high-voltage silicon gate (HVSG) process, supporting rail-to-rail analog signals up to ±15 V while maintaining guaranteed break-before-make behavior only in the DG419B variant - not applicable to DG418BDY. Its complementary logic response (ON at logic low) distinguishes it from the DG417B.
Each channel conducts identically in both directions when ON and blocks signals up to the supply rails when OFF; an epitaxial layer prevents latchup. Switching performance is characterized at V+ = 15 V, V− = −15 V, VL = 5 V, with dynamic parameters measured under RL = 300 Ω and CL = 35 pF conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15 V - supports full-rail signal switching without clipping in dual-supply precision systems |
| On-Resistance (RDS(on)) | 15 Ω typical - minimizes signal attenuation and gain error in low-impedance sensor interfaces |
| Turn-On Time (tON) | 110 ns - enables fast multiplexing in data acquisition systems sampling at ≥5 MHz |
| Off-Leakage Current | ±0.25 nA max - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sample-and-hold and integrator circuits |
| Charge Injection | 38 pC - limits voltage glitch amplitude in switched-capacitor applications with ≤10 nF hold capacitors |
| Off Isolation (OIRR) | –82 dB at 1 MHz - suppresses crosstalk between adjacent channels in multi-channel instrumentation |
| Supply Voltage Range | V+ = 20 V max, V− = –20 V max - accommodates industrial ±15 V and automotive 12 V single-supply configurations |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin narrow SOIC (JEDEC MS-012), body dimensions 4.90 mm × 3.90 mm × 1.50 mm, RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Digital control input | Active-low enable: switch closes when voltage ≤ 0.8 V; opens when ≥ 2.4 V |
| 2 (S) | Source terminal | Bidirectional analog I/O node; connects to signal source or load depending on system topology |
| 3 (D) | Drain terminal | Bidirectional analog I/O node; complements S terminal for SPST signal path completion |
| 4 (V−) | Negative supply rail | Reference for negative analog swing; must be decoupled locally to minimize noise coupling |
| 5 (GND) | Digital ground | Logic reference for control inputs; isolated from analog ground in mixed-signal layouts |
| 6 (VL) | Logic supply | Accepts 5 V TTL/CMOS levels independent of analog supply rails; enables level-shifting interface |
| 7 (V+) | Positive supply rail | Reference for positive analog swing; supports up to +20 V for transient margin |
| 8 (NC) | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no external tie or pull-up/pull-down |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog switching | Supports signals from V− to V+ without distortion - critical for ±12 V sensor outputs and DAC buffers |
| Low on-resistance flatness | ≤3 Ω variation across ±12.5 V signal range - ensures consistent gain in programmable-gain amplifier paths |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | Operates with standard 5 V logic families without level shifters - simplifies FPGA/microcontroller interface |
| Epitaxial latchup immunity | Guaranteed per MIL-STD-883 Class B - enables robust operation in high-noise military and industrial environments |
| Low charge injection | 38 pC maximum - reduces settling error in 16-bit SAR ADC sample-and-hold stages with 10 nF capacitors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4617EUA+ | Higher on-resistance (35 Ω typ), wider supply range (±20 V), same SOIC-8 package | Less suitable for sub-1 LSB error in 16-bit DAQ; better for high-voltage industrial transducer interfaces | Select when absolute maximum supply rating > ±15 V is required and on-resistance tolerance >20 Ω is acceptable |
| ADG1419BRMZ | Lower on-resistance (1.3 Ω typ), higher cost, 10-lead MSOP package, requires different PCB layout | Enables ultra-low distortion in audio and medical imaging; incompatible with existing SOIC-8 footprint | Select only if RDS(on) < 2 Ω is mandatory and board redesign for MSOP-10 is feasible |
Compared with MAX4617EUA+ and ADG1419BRMZ, the DG418BDY offers the optimal balance of low on-resistance, industry-standard SOIC-8 compatibility, and sub-nanoampere leakage - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, battery-operated precision instruments where layout continuity and power efficiency are prioritized over ultra-low RDS(on).

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the DG418BDY?
The DG418BDY supports an analog signal range of ±15 V when operated with V+ = +15 V and V− = −15 V. This rail-to-rail capability allows undistorted switching of signals spanning the full supply range, making DG418BDY suitable for high-dynamic-range applications such as precision DAC output buffering and sensor signal conditioning in industrial control systems.
Does the DG418BDY have break-before-make functionality?
No, the DG418BDY does not implement break-before-make switching. That feature is guaranteed only for the DG419B (SPDT) variant per the datasheet. The DG418BDY is a single-pole single-throw (SPST) switch with complementary logic control - its switching action is simple ON/OFF without overlap or intentional delay between states.
What is the recommended logic supply voltage (VL) for the DG418BDY?
The DG418BDY specifies VL = 5 V for TTL/CMOS compatibility, with valid input thresholds of ≤0.8 V (logic low) and ≥2.4 V (logic high). While VL may track V+ in some designs, the datasheet characterizes all timing and leakage parameters at VL = 5 V - using other voltages risks undefined switching behavior and increased leakage in the DG418BDY.
Can the DG418BDY operate from a single 12 V supply?
Yes, the DG418BDY can operate from a single 12 V supply (V+ = 12 V, V− = 0 V), supporting analog signals from 0 V to 12 V. In this configuration, RDS(on) increases to 26 Ω typical and tON extends to 100 ns, but all key specifications remain valid and production-tested - enabling use in automotive and industrial 12 V systems without dual-rail generation.
Is the NC (pin 8) on the DG418BDY internally connected or should it be left floating?
Pin 8 of the DG418BDY is designated "No Connect" (NC) and is internally unconnected. It must remain electrically floating - no external connection, pull-up, pull-down, or grounding is permitted. Violating this requirement may compromise isolation performance or induce parasitic coupling in high-precision analog paths using the DG418BDY.
