Product details
Overview
DG418LDJ+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision CMOS single-pole/single-throw (SPST), normally open analog switch optimized for signal routing in battery-operated and industrial systems. It features 35Ω maximum on-resistance, ±15V dual-supply or +9V to +36V single-supply operation, guaranteed 3Ω max RON matching, and rail-to-rail analog signal handling from –15V to +15V (dual) or 0V to +12V (single). Its +3V logic-compatible digital input (VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.0V) enables direct interface with low-voltage microcontrollers.
For engineers reviewing the DG418LDJ+ datasheet, DG418LDJ+ pinout, DG418LDJ+ application, or DG418LDJ+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, package-specific terminal roles, real-world use cases in audio routing and test equipment, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The DG418LDJ+ implements a fully complementary CMOS transmission gate architecture with matched P- and N-channel devices, enabling bidirectional conduction and low charge injection (≤15pC). Its logic interface operates independently of supply sequencing-no VL pin required-eliminating latch-up risk during power-up under ±4.5V to ±20V or +9V to +36V conditions.
It guarantees monotonic on-resistance flatness (≤4Ω max over signal range) and ultra-low off-leakage (<5nA at +85°C), making it suitable for high-impedance sample-and-hold and precision sensor front-ends where signal integrity and DC accuracy are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 35Ω max at ±15V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision analog paths |
| RON Matching | 3Ω max between channels - critical for differential signal switching and matched gain stages |
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±20V dual or +9V to +36V single - supports wide-range industrial and legacy system integration |
| Logic Thresholds | VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.0V - ensures reliable TTL/CMOS compatibility without level-shifting circuitry |
| Off-Leakage Current | <5nA at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance circuits like integrators and sensor interfaces |
| Switching Time (tON/tOFF) | <175ns / <185ns at ±15V - enables fast multiplexing in data acquisition and communications systems |
| Analog Signal Range | Rail-to-rail: (V– – 0.3V) to (V+ + 0.3V) - supports full dynamic range utilization across supply configurations |
Pinout & Package
DG418LDJ+ is housed in an 8-pin plastic DIP package (0.300" width), RoHS-compliant and rated for –40°C to +85°C operation. Pin spacing is 0.100", compatible with standard through-hole PCB layouts and socket-based prototyping.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | COM | Analog common terminal - connects to signal source or load; bidirectional current path |
| 2 | N.C. | No internal connection - must be left unconnected; not electrically tied to any internal node |
| 3 | GND | Digital logic ground reference - separate from analog supply grounds but referenced for input thresholds |
| 4 | V+ | Positive analog supply - sets upper rail for analog signal range and powers internal logic |
| 6 | IN | Active-high logic control input - drives internal transmission gate; accepts +3V logic directly |
| 7 | V– | Negative analog supply - sets lower rail for analog signal range; required for bipolar operation |
| 8 | NO | Normally open analog switch terminal - connects to COM only when IN = high; isolated otherwise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| +3V logic-compatible inputs | VIH = 2.0V / VIL = 0.8V thresholds eliminate need for external level shifters with modern MCUs |
| Power-supply sequencing-free operation | No VL pin or strict V+, V–, GND startup order required - reduces system design complexity and BOM count |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports signals from V– – 0.3V to V+ + 0.3V - maximizes usable dynamic range in both single- and dual-supply modes |
| Guaranteed RON flatness (4Ω max) | Minimizes harmonic distortion and gain error across full signal swing - essential for audio and instrumentation |
| Low charge injection (≤15pC) | Reduces voltage glitch on sampled nodes - improves accuracy in S/H circuits and ADC front-ends |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4618EPA+ | Higher RON (45Ω typ), wider temp range (–40°C to +125°C), same 8-pin PDIP package | Better suited for automotive under-hood environments requiring extended temperature rating | Select MAX4618EPA+ if operating above +85°C or needing higher ESD tolerance (±4kV HBM) |
| ADG1419BRZ | Lower RON (2.6Ω typ), SPI-controlled, SOIC-16 package, requires external logic interface | Designed for digitally controlled, multi-channel matrix switching rather than simple SPST logic control | Choose ADG1419BRZ only when programmable channel mapping and sub-3Ω RON outweigh need for direct +3V logic drive |
Compared with DG418LDJ+, MAX4618EPA+ trades lower leakage and tighter RON matching for higher on-resistance and no guaranteed flatness spec, while ADG1419BRZ replaces simplicity with digital configurability at the cost of added firmware overhead and larger footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by DG418LDJ+?
DG418LDJ+ supports rail-to-rail analog signals from (V– – 0.3V) to (V+ + 0.3V). With ±15V supplies, this yields –15.3V to +15.3V; with +12V single supply (V– = 0V), it supports 0V to +12.3V. Exceeding these limits risks clamping or damage due to internal diode conduction.
Can DG418LDJ+ operate from a single +12V supply?
Yes, DG418LDJ+ is fully specified for single-supply operation from +9V to +36V. At +12V, its on-resistance is ≤125Ω (max), tON/tOFF remain under 400ns, and logic thresholds stay valid. GND serves as the reference for both digital input and analog return path.
Is DG418LDJ+ pin-compatible with the older DG418DJ?
No. DG418LDJ+ uses the same 8-pin DIP footprint as DG418DJ, but pin functions differ: DG418DJ has a VL pin (pin 3) for logic supply, whereas DG418LDJ+ uses pin 3 as GND. Direct replacement requires PCB modification to reroute GND and remove VL connections.
What is the typical charge injection of DG418LDJ+ and why does it matter?
DG418LDJ+ specifies ≤15pC typical charge injection. This parasitic charge transfer occurs during switching and causes voltage glitches on high-impedance nodes (e.g., S/H capacitors). In precision sampling applications, low charge injection minimizes settling error and maintains DC accuracy after switching.
Does DG418LDJ+ require external protection diodes on analog pins?
No. DG418LDJ+ includes internal ESD protection diodes on COM, NO, and NC pins that clamp signals exceeding V+ or V– by ±0.3V. However, forward current must be limited to ≤30mA continuous or ≤100mA pulsed (1ms, 10% duty cycle) to avoid damage - external series resistors may be needed in high-energy transient environments.
