Product details
Overview
DG418DJ from Maxim Integrated is a precision CMOS single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch with normally open configuration, 35Ω maximum on-resistance, <5nA off-leakage at +85°C, and guaranteed 3Ω max on-resistance matching between channels. It operates from ±4.5V to ±20V bipolar or +10V to +30V single supply and is used in battery-operated test equipment requiring rail-to-rail signal handling and low charge injection.
For engineers reviewing the DG418DJ datasheet, DG418DJ pinout, DG418DJ application, or DG418DJ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping, functional pin roles, real-world use scenarios, and two confirmed alternative parts - all validated against Maxim's official 1996 datasheet Rev 2.
Technical Context
The DG418DJ implements a silicon-gate CMOS process with 44V breakdown tolerance and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs. Its SPST NO topology uses a single control input (IN) referenced to VL to gate conduction between S (source) and D (drain), with no internal connection on pins 2 and 6.
It guarantees on-resistance flatness ≤4Ω over full analog signal range under bipolar operation and achieves <10pC charge injection - critical for sample-and-hold accuracy. Switching times are specified at <175ns tON and <145ns tOFF with ±15V supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | SPST, normally open - enables signal path only when IN = high (TTL/CMOS compatible) |
| RDS(ON) Max | 35Ω at +25°C - ensures minimal signal attenuation in precision analog paths |
| ΔRDS(ON) Max | 3Ω between channels - supports matched gain/attenuation in dual-path systems |
| Charge Injection | 10pC max - limits voltage glitch in sample-and-hold capacitors ≤100pF |
| Off-Leakage @ +85°C | <5nA - preserves DC integrity in high-impedance sensor front-ends |
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±20V bipolar or +10V to +30V single - supports industrial and battery-powered rails |
| tON/tOFF | <175ns / <145ns - enables multiplexing of signals up to ~2MHz without timing skew |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin plastic DIP (dual in-line package), 0.3-inch width, through-hole mount. Pin pitch: 0.1 inch (2.54 mm). RoHS-compliant lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Analog Source (S) | Input node for normally open switch; connects to D when IN = high |
| 2 | No Internal Connection | Unbonded pad - must remain floating; no PCB trace or component |
| 3 | GND | Logic ground reference for VL and digital inputs; separate from analog V− |
| 4 | V+ | Analog positive supply rail; sets upper limit of rail-to-rail signal range |
| 5 | VL | Logic supply input; set to +5V for TTL compatibility or tied to V+ for CMOS |
| 6 | No Internal Connection | Unbonded pad - must remain floating; no PCB trace or component |
| 7 | V− | Analog negative supply rail; sets lower limit of rail-to-rail signal range |
| 8 | D | Analog drain terminal; output node of SPST switch; bidirectional conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals from V− to V+ without clipping - essential for ±15V instrumentation |
| Guaranteed RFLAT(ON) ≤4Ω | Ensures consistent gain across full input voltage swing - critical for linear data acquisition |
| ESD tolerance ≥2000V | Meets Method 3015.7 - reduces handling damage risk during assembly and field service |
| Low power consumption ≤35µW | Enables multi-channel switching in portable devices with <100µA total supply current |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | Accepts 0.8V/2.4V thresholds - interoperates directly with microcontrollers and FPGAs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1418BRMZ | 44V supply rating, 1.3Ω RDS(ON), but requires ≥4.5V logic supply; no guaranteed RFLAT(ON) | Higher bandwidth (170MHz) but higher cost; suited for RF-adjacent signal chains, not precision DC | Select ADG1418BRMZ only if sub-2Ω on-resistance and faster switching (>100MHz) outweigh guaranteed flatness and leakage specs. |
| TS5A23157DCUR | Single-supply only (1.65V–5.5V), 0.9Ω RDS(ON), 15pC charge injection, −40°C to +85°C grade | Optimized for low-voltage portable audio; lacks bipolar support and rail-to-rail analog range | Choose TS5A23157DCUR for 3.3V/5V systems where ultra-low on-resistance matters more than bipolar operation or leakage stability. |
Compared with DG418DJ, ADG1418BRMZ offers lower resistance and higher speed but sacrifices guaranteed on-resistance flatness and leakage performance over temperature; TS5A23157DCUR provides better low-voltage efficiency but cannot replace DG418DJ in ±15V instrumentation or sample-and-hold circuits.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for DG418DJ?
The DG418DJ is rated for −40°C to +85°C operation, as confirmed in the Ordering Information table on page 10 of the official datasheet. This extended temperature grade makes it suitable for industrial and automotive-adjacent applications where ambient conditions exceed commercial-grade limits. The DG418DJ maintains guaranteed leakage, on-resistance, and switching performance across this full range.
Does DG418DJ support single-supply operation?
Yes, DG418DJ supports single-supply operation from +10V to +30V, with V− connected to ground. The datasheet specifies analog signal range as 0V to V+ under this configuration, preserving rail-to-rail capability. Single-supply use is explicitly validated in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS-Single Supply" section (page 4), including RDS(ON), tON, and leakage parameters.
What is the function of pin 2 and pin 6 on DG418DJ?
Both pin 2 and pin 6 on DG418DJ are designated "No Internal Connection" (N.C.) per the Pin Description table on page 6 of the datasheet. These pins are unconnected die pads and must remain electrically floating - no PCB trace, pull-up, pull-down, or capacitor should be attached. This is confirmed in the top-view diagram and functional truth tables.
How does DG418DJ achieve low charge injection?
DG418DJ achieves ≤10pC charge injection via matched transistor geometry and optimized layout in its 44V silicon-gate CMOS process, as stated in the "New Features" section. This value is guaranteed and tested - critical for minimizing voltage step errors in sample-and-hold circuits using capacitors ≤100pF. The specification holds across the full analog signal range and temperature.
Is DG418DJ pin-compatible with older DG418 variants?
Yes, DG418DJ shares identical 8-pin DIP pinout, electrical behavior, and functional logic with all DG418 variants (e.g., DG418CJ, DG418DY), as shown in the unified top-view diagram and Pin Description table. The "D" suffix denotes the −40°C to +85°C temperature grade, but mechanical and electrical interface compatibility is maintained across the DG418 family.
