Product details
Overview
DG418LEUA+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision CMOS single-pole/single-throw (SPST), normally open analog switch optimized for low-distortion signal routing in ±15V or +12V systems. It delivers 35Ω max on-resistance, 3Ω max RON matching, <5nA off-leakage at +85°C, and rail-to-rail analog signal handling - enabling high-fidelity audio switching and sample-and-hold circuits in test equipment and battery-operated systems.
For engineers reviewing the DG418LEUA+T datasheet, DG418LEUA+T pinout, DG418LEUA+T application, or DG418LEUA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RON flatness (4Ω max), +3V logic compatibility (VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.0V), sub-185ns tOFF, and µMAX-8 package suitability for space-constrained industrial and communications designs.
Technical Context
The DG418LEUA+T implements a fully differential CMOS switch architecture with matched P- and N-channel transistor pairs, enabling symmetrical conduction in both directions and minimizing charge injection (≤15pC). Its logic interface operates independently of supply sequencing - eliminating the need for controlled VL ramping required by legacy DG418 variants.
It supports dual-supply operation from ±4.5V to ±20V and single-supply operation from +9V to +36V, with guaranteed performance across –40°C to +85°C. Analog signal range extends from V– to V+, and internal ESD protection enables robust operation in guidance systems and PBX infrastructure without external clamping.
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 matched gain/phase in differential or multiplexed sensor interfaces. |
| Off-Leakage Current | <5nA at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sample-and-hold and battery-monitoring circuits. |
| Turn-Off Time (tOFF) | 185ns max at ±15V - enables fast channel switching in automated test equipment with ≤200ns settling. |
| Logic Thresholds | VIL = 0.8V, VIH = 2.0V - guarantees reliable interfacing with +3V TTL and CMOS controllers without level shifters. |
| Analog Signal Range | Rail-to-rail (V– to V+) - supports full dynamic range utilization in audio routing and industrial voltage monitoring. |
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±20V dual or +9V to +36V single - simplifies power architecture in mixed-signal systems with legacy ±15V rails or modern +12V/24V supplies. |
Pinout & Package
The DG418LEUA+T is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (3.0mm × 3.0mm, 0.8mm height), specified for surface-mount assembly with exposed pad thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is COM (common terminal); pins 2 and 5 are no-connect (N.C.); pin 3 is GND; pin 4 is V+; pin 6 is IN (logic control input); pin 7 is V–; and pin 8 is NO (normally open switch terminal).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - COM | Analog common node | Signal path junction shared between input and output; must be routed with controlled impedance in RF/audio applications. |
| 2, 5 - N.C. | No internal connection | Unused pins; may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability - no electrical function. |
| 3 - GND | Digital logic reference | Reference for logic inputs only; separate from analog ground but must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling. |
| 4 - V+ | Positive analog supply | Bias source for P-channel devices; sets upper analog signal limit and affects RON and leakage performance. |
| 6 - IN | Logic control input | +3V-compatible digital enable; active-high for DG418L (NO closes when IN = high). |
| 7 - V– | Negative analog supply | Bias source for N-channel devices; defines lower analog signal limit and impacts charge injection and THD. |
| 8 - NO | Normally open switch terminal | Open-circuit when IN = low; connects to COM when IN = high - used for interruptible signal paths in modems and fax machines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| +3V logic compatibility | VIH = 2.0V / VIL = 0.8V thresholds eliminate level-shifter ICs when interfacing with microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| Power-supply sequencing-free operation | No VL pin or startup sequence dependency - prevents latch-up during uncontrolled power-up in military radios and embedded control units. |
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Full V– to V+ conduction enables use in ±12V op-amp signal chains and +24V industrial I/O modules without clipping. |
| Guaranteed RON flatness | 4Ω max variation over signal range - maintains consistent gain and linearity in audio signal routing and precision data acquisition. |
| Low charge injection | 15pC max - minimizes voltage glitch on sampled capacitors in hold circuits, reducing droop and calibration drift. |
Applications
| Audio Signal Routing | Test Equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX318ESA+ | Same pinout, identical µMAX-8 package, but higher RON (45Ω max) and wider leakage (10nA @ +85°C). | Suitable for less demanding industrial controls where cost sensitivity outweighs precision requirements. | Select MAX318ESA+ only if system tolerates higher on-resistance and leakage; not recommended for audio or high-resolution data acquisition. |
| ADG1419BRMZ | Different pinout (10-lead MSOP), higher supply voltage (±22V), lower RON (2.6Ω), but requires +5V logic interface. | Better suited for high-speed, low-distortion applications like automated test equipment requiring faster switching (tON = 100ns). | Choose ADG1419BRMZ when upgrading performance is prioritized over drop-in replacement; PCB redesign required due to pin count and layout mismatch. |
Compared with DG418LEUA+T, MAX318ESA+ offers cost savings at the expense of precision and leakage control, while ADG1419BRMZ delivers superior RON and speed but mandates logic-level and footprint changes - making DG418LEUA+T optimal for legacy +3V logic systems needing proven reliability in extended temperature environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for DG418LEUA+T?
The DG418LEUA+T supports dual-supply operation up to ±20V and single-supply operation up to +36V. Absolute maximum ratings specify V+ to V– ≤ 44V and V+ to GND ≤ 25V. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term operation, stay within the recommended ranges: ±4.5V to ±20V (dual) or +9V to +36V (single). The DG418LEUA+T datasheet confirms these values under Absolute Maximum Ratings on page 2.
Does DG418LEUA+T require power-supply sequencing during startup?
No, DG418LEUA+T does not require controlled power-supply sequencing. Unlike legacy DG418 variants, it eliminates the VL pin and supports arbitrary power-up order of V+, V–, and GND. This feature prevents latch-up in systems with independent rail regulators - a key advantage confirmed in the Applications Information section (page 9) of the DG418LEUA+T datasheet.
What is the typical charge injection value for DG418LEUA+T, and why does it matter?
The DG418LEUA+T specifies a maximum charge injection of 15pC under standard test conditions (VGEN = 0, CL = 1nF). This low value minimizes voltage glitches on hold capacitors in sample-and-hold circuits, directly improving acquisition accuracy and reducing calibration drift. The DG418LEUA+T datasheet reports this in the Dynamic Characteristics table (page 3) and illustrates its impact in Figure 4.
Can DG418LEUA+T operate from a single +12V supply?
Yes, DG418LEUA+T is fully specified for single-supply operation from +9V to +36V. At +12V, it delivers RON ≤ 125Ω (max), tON ≤ 300ns, and off-leakage <5nA at +85°C. These parameters are validated in the "Electrical Characteristics-Single +12V Supply" tables (pages 4–5) of the DG418LEUA+T datasheet, confirming suitability for battery-powered instrumentation and industrial controls.
Is DG418LEUA+T pin-compatible with the original DG418?
No, DG418LEUA+T is not pin-compatible with the legacy DG418. While both are SPST NO switches in 8-pin packages, the DG418LEUA+T omits the VL pin (replacing it with N.C.) and reassigns pin 8 to NO (vs. NC on DG418). This structural change enables sequencing-free operation but requires PCB layout revision. The DG418LEUA+T datasheet explicitly notes this difference in the Pin Description table (page 8) and Ordering Information (page 10).
