Product details
Overview
DG418CY from Maxim Integrated is a precision CMOS single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch with normally open configuration, 35Ω max on-resistance, <5nA off-leakage at +85°C, and 175ns max turn-on time. It operates from ±4.5V to ±20V bipolar or +10V to +30V single supply, enabling rail-to-rail signal routing in battery-operated test equipment and audio signal paths.
For engineers reviewing the DG418CY datasheet, DG418CY pinout, DG418CY application, or DG418CY equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, package mapping, real-world use scenarios, and two confirmed alternative parts for SPST analog switching in industrial and communications systems.
Technical Context
The DG418CY uses a 44V silicon-gate CMOS process to achieve guaranteed on-resistance matching ≤3Ω between channels and flatness ≤4Ω over the full analog range under bipolar supply operation. Its TTL/CMOS-compatible logic input (VL = 5V or V+) enables direct interfacing with microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting.
Charge injection is limited to 10pC max, and ESD tolerance meets 2000V minimum per Method 3015.7. Off-isolation rejection ratio reaches 68dB at 1MHz, supporting high-fidelity signal integrity in sample-and-hold and guidance control circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RDS(ON)) | 35Ω max at +25°C - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision analog paths |
| On-Resistance Flatness | 4Ω max over signal range - maintains consistent gain and linearity across ±15.5V analog swing |
| Turn-On Time (tON) | 175ns max - supports fast multiplexing in high-speed data acquisition up to ~5MHz effective bandwidth |
| Off-Leakage Current | <5nA at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sample-and-hold and sensor front-ends |
| Charge Injection | 10pC max - minimizes voltage glitch on hold capacitors, critical for sub-12-bit ADC interface stability |
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±20V bipolar or +10V to +30V single - enables flexible power architecture in portable and industrial gear |
| ESD Tolerance | 2000V min (Method 3015.7) - reduces need for external protection in field-deployable test equipment |
Pinout & Package
DG418CY is supplied in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant, with 1.27mm pitch and standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Analog-Switch Source Terminal (normally open) | Input node that connects to load only when switch is enabled; floating when disabled |
| 2 | No Internal Connection | Unbonded pad - must be left unconnected on PCB; no thermal or electrical function |
| 3 | Logic Ground (GND) | Reference for VL and digital inputs; separate from analog ground to reduce noise coupling |
| 4 | Analog-Signal Positive Supply (V+) | Bias rail for analog channel conduction; sets upper limit of rail-to-rail signal handling |
| 5 | Logic-Level Positive Supply (VL) | Supplies internal logic; set to 5V for TTL compatibility or tied to V+ for CMOS-level inputs |
| 6 | Logic-Level Input (IN) | Active-high control: logic high enables switch, logic low disconnects source from drain |
| 7 | Analog-Signal Negative Supply (V−) | Bias rail for analog channel conduction; sets lower limit of rail-to-rail signal handling |
| 8 | Analog-Switch Drain Terminal (D) | Output node connected to source when switch is on; high-impedance when off |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals from V− to V+ without clipping - essential for ±15V instrumentation front-ends |
| Guaranteed RDS(ON) match ≤3Ω | Enables matched-channel applications like differential signal switching and precision gain-setting networks |
| Low power consumption (35µW max) | Reduces thermal drift and extends battery life in portable modems and fax machines |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | Eliminates external level shifters when interfacing with 3.3V/5V microcontrollers or CPLDs |
| 2000V ESD tolerance (Method 3015.7) | Improves manufacturing yield and field reliability in unshielded test equipment and PBX interfaces |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPST analog switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1419BRMZ | SPDT configuration (NC/NO), 1.5Ω RDS(ON), requires dual supply only; no single-supply mode | Not suitable for simple ON/OFF gating; better for signal routing where polarity inversion or dual-path selection is needed | Select ADG1419BRMZ only if SPDT functionality and lower on-resistance outweigh need for single-supply operation. |
| TS5A23157DCUR | Single-supply only (1.65V–5.5V), 0.9Ω RDS(ON), 1.5pC charge injection, but max analog range limited to VCC–0.2V | Restricted to low-voltage logic domains; incompatible with ±15V or +24V industrial signal levels | Choose TS5A23157DCUR for 3.3V embedded systems requiring ultra-low distortion, not for wide-range analog switching. |
Compared with DG418CY, ADG1419BRMZ offers superior on-resistance and SPDT flexibility but lacks single-supply capability, while TS5A23157DCUR delivers lower charge injection and power at the cost of voltage range - making DG418CY uniquely suited for wide-supply, rail-to-rail SPST switching in industrial test and comms hardware.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal range supported by DG418CY?
DG418CY supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V− to V+, with absolute maximum ratings of V+ ≤ 44V referenced to V−. Under bipolar ±15V operation, the usable analog range is ±15.5V; under +12V single supply (V− = 0V), it spans 0V to 11.8V. This range is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Operating Characteristics curves DG417-03 and DG417-04.
Does DG418CY require a negative supply to operate?
No - DG418CY operates with either bipolar supplies (±4.5V to ±20V) or a single positive supply (+10V to +30V), where V− is connected to ground. The datasheet explicitly states "connect V− to 0V when operating with a single supply" and provides full single-supply electrical characteristics on page 4. DG418CY functionality is fully preserved in single-supply mode.
What is the logic voltage requirement for the IN pin of DG418CY?
The IN pin of DG418CY accepts TTL- or CMOS-compatible logic levels. When VL = 5V, VINH ≥ 2.4V and VINL ≤ 0.8V; when VL is tied to V+, logic thresholds scale with supply (e.g., VINH ≈ 0.7×V+). This dual-mode compatibility is specified in the "Existing Features" section and Electrical Characteristics tables for both dual and single-supply conditions.
Can DG418CY be used in audio signal routing applications?
Yes - DG418CY is listed in the official Applications section for "Audio Signal Routing." Its low 10pC charge injection, 68dB off-isolation at 1MHz, and rail-to-rail capability enable clean switching of line-level and microphone signals without audible pop or crosstalk, especially in professional audio mixers and VoIP gateways where ±12V or +24V supplies are common.
Is DG418CY pin-compatible with older DG418 variants?
Yes - DG418CY shares identical 8-pin SO packaging, pinout, and functional behavior with DG418CJ, DG418DJ, and DG418DY. The "New Features" section confirms it is a plug-in upgrade for industry-standard DG418 devices, with improved RDS(ON) matching and leakage performance while maintaining full electrical and mechanical backward compatibility.
