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 ±15V or +12V systems. It delivers 35Ω max on-resistance, <5nA off-leakage at +85°C, and 175ns max turn-on time, enabling high-fidelity audio and data acquisition paths in battery-powered test equipment and communications hardware.
For engineers reviewing the DG418LDJ datasheet, DG418LDJ pinout, DG418LDJ application, or DG418LDJ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON matching (≤3Ω), rail-to-rail analog signal handling, +3V logic compatibility with 0.8V/2.0V thresholds, and extended temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C in an 8-pin plastic DIP package.
Technical Context
The DG418LDJ implements a fully differential CMOS transmission gate architecture with matched P- and N-channel devices, enabling bidirectional conduction and low charge injection (15pC typical). Its digital input stage features TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds independent of supply voltage, allowing direct interface with +3V microcontrollers without level shifting.
It operates across dual supplies (±4.5V to ±20V) or single supplies (+9V to +36V), with power-supply sequencing-free startup-eliminating latch-up risk during V+, V–, or GND ramp sequences. Off-isolation exceeds –90dB at 1MHz, and THD remains below 0.002% over 20Hz–20kHz with 600Ω load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 35Ω max at ±15V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision instrumentation paths |
| RON Matching | 3Ω max between channels - critical for differential signal integrity and balanced switching applications |
| Off-Leakage Current | <5nA at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sample-and-hold and sensor front-ends |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 175ns / 185ns max - supports multiplexing rates up to ~5MHz in automated test equipment |
| Analog Signal Range | Rail-to-rail: (V– – 0.3V) to (V+ + 0.3V) - enables full utilization of supply headroom in ±15V op-amp circuits |
| Logic Compatibility | VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.0V - interoperable with +3V FPGA I/O, ARM GPIO, and low-voltage microcontrollers |
| Supply Range | Single: +9V to +36V; Dual: ±4.5V to ±20V - supports industrial PLCs, military radios, and portable medical devices |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin plastic DIP (0.3-inch width), through-hole mount, rated for –40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 COM | Analog Switch Common Terminal | Signal path hub - connects to source or load; bidirectional current flow supported |
| 2 N.C. | No Connection | Internally unconnected - must remain floating; no external tie required |
| 3 GND | Logic Ground Reference | Reference for digital control inputs only - separate from analog ground unless system design mandates common reference |
| 4 V+ | Analog Positive Supply Input | Bias for P-channel device; sets upper analog signal limit and powers internal logic |
| 6 IN | Logic-Level Control Input | Active-high enable: logic high closes switch (NO → COM); logic low opens (high-impedance state) |
| 7 V– | Analog Negative Supply Input | Bias for N-channel device; sets lower analog signal limit and completes analog bias network |
| 8 NC | Analog Normally Closed Terminal | Not used in DG418L configuration - left unconnected; distinct from DG417L's NC function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| +3V Logic-Compatible Inputs | VIH = 2.0V / VIL = 0.8V thresholds eliminate need for level shifters when interfacing with modern low-voltage controllers |
| Guaranteed RON Flatness | 4Ω max variation across full analog range - maintains consistent gain and linearity in precision gain-switching networks |
| Power-Supply Sequencing-Free Operation | No required power-up order for V+, V–, or GND - removes risk of latch-up and simplifies power management in multi-rail systems |
| Rail-to-Rail Analog Handling | Supports signals from (V– – 0.3V) to (V+ + 0.3V) - maximizes dynamic range in ±15V op-amp stages and data converter interfaces |
| Low Charge Injection | 15pC typical - minimizes voltage glitch on sampled nodes in S/H circuits and ADC front-ends |

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 use; less ideal for ultra-low-distortion audio due to higher RON | Select MAX4618EPA+ if extended temperature rating is mandatory and RON tolerance >45Ω is acceptable. |
| ADG1419BRUZ | Lower RON (3.8Ω typ), SPI-controlled, 16-pin TSSOP - not pin-compatible | Requires digital control logic and PCB redesign; superior for high-channel-count, low-RON systems | Choose ADG1419BRUZ only when upgrading to serial control and accepting layout change for sub-4Ω performance. |
Compared with DG418LDJ, MAX4618EPA+ trades lower distortion and tighter RON matching for extended temperature capability, while ADG1419BRUZ offers dramatically lower resistance but demands full system re-engineering - making DG418LDJ optimal for drop-in replacement in legacy ±15V industrial and test gear.

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, it covers 0V to +12.3V. This range is enforced by internal clamp diodes and must stay within absolute maximum ratings to avoid damage.
Does DG418LDJ require power-supply sequencing during startup?
No. DG418LDJ features power-supply sequencing-free operation - V+, V–, and GND may power up in any order without risk of latch-up. This eliminates the need for external diodes or sequencing circuitry required by older DG417/DG418 devices, simplifying system power design.
Can DG418LDJ be used with a single +12V supply?
Yes. DG418LDJ operates from a single +9V to +36V supply. When using +12V, V– is connected to ground, V+ to +12V, and the analog signal range becomes 0V to +12.3V. RON increases to 125Ω max under these conditions, as specified in the single-supply electrical characteristics table.
What is the logic polarity of the IN pin on DG418LDJ?
The IN pin on DG418LDJ is active-high: a logic high (≥2.0V) closes the switch (connects NO to COM), and a logic low (≤0.8V) opens it (high-impedance state). This matches standard positive-logic control schemes and requires no inversion in FPGA or microcontroller firmware.
How does DG418LDJ compare to DG417LDJ in pinout and function?
DG418LDJ and DG417LDJ share identical 8-pin DIP pinouts and supply connections, but differ functionally: DG418LDJ is normally open (NO), while DG417LDJ is normally closed (NC). Their truth tables are complementary - both use the same IN pin logic, but assert opposite default states when IN is low.
