Product details
Overview
DG441BDJ from Vishay Siliconix is a quad SPST CMOS analog switch optimized for bidirectional signal routing in precision analog systems, featuring 45 Ω typical on-resistance, 120 ns typical turn-on time, and ±15 V dual-supply operation - deployed in data acquisition front-ends and medical instrumentation sample-and-hold stages.
For engineers reviewing the DG441BDJ datasheet, DG441BDJ pinout, DG441BDJ application, or DG441BDJ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed low charge injection (–1 pC), TTL/CMOS-compatible logic thresholds, and 16-pin plastic DIP package compatibility with legacy test equipment layouts.
Technical Context
The DG441BDJ implements four independent single-pole single-throw (SPST) switches using high-voltage silicon-gate CMOS technology with epitaxial latchup protection. Each channel conducts equally in both directions when ON and blocks analog signals up to ±15 V when OFF.
It operates from dual supplies (±15 V) or single supply (12 V), supports logic inputs of 0.8 V (low) and 2.4 V (high), and maintains sub-5 nA off-leakage across –40 °C to +85 °C. Charge injection is minimized at the drain terminal to reduce pedestal error in sampling circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance | 45 Ω typ. - enables <1 % gain error in 1 kΩ impedance signal paths |
| Turn-On Time | 120 ns typ. - supports >3 MHz switching in multiplexed ADC sampling |
| Charge Injection | –1 pC typ. - limits hold-mode voltage step to <1 mV in 1 nF sample capacitors |
| Analog Signal Range | ±15 V - accommodates full-rail bipolar sensor outputs and op-amp swing |
| Off Isolation | –90 dB @ 100 kHz - suppresses crosstalk between adjacent channels in multi-channel DAQ |
| Supply Current | ±5 µA max. - enables low-quiescent-power battery-operated portable instruments |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS - interfaces directly with FPGA I/O banks and microcontroller GPIO without level shifters |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin plastic DIP (JEDEC MS-012), 0.300" wide body, through-hole mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | IN1–IN4 | Digital control inputs - active-high logic turns corresponding switch ON |
| 5, 6, 13, 14 | S1–S4 | Switch source terminals - connect to common analog bus or signal source |
| 7, 8, 11, 12 | D1–D4 | Switch drain terminals - route to individual ADC inputs or signal destinations |
| 9 | V− | Negative supply rail - required for bipolar analog range support |
| 10 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be low-impedance star point |
| 15, 16 | V+ | Positive supply rail - powers internal logic and switch driver circuitry |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 10 is GND; Pin 15/16 are tied to V+ - no internal connection at pin 10 (GND) location in this layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low on-resistance matching | ΔRDS(on) ≤ 4 Ω max. - ensures <0.3 % channel-to-channel gain mismatch in programmable gain amplifiers |
| Drain-side charge injection minimization | –1 pC typ. - reduces hold-step error to <0.5 mV in 2 nF sample capacitors |
| High off-isolation | –90 dB @ 100 kHz - prevents signal bleed between audio channels or sensor inputs |
| Bidirectional conduction | Identical RDS(on) in either direction - eliminates polarity constraints in AC-coupled signal paths |
| Latchup immunity | Epitaxial layer isolation - guarantees robust operation under transient overvoltage conditions |
Applications
| Audio Switching | Data Acquisition |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4617ESE+ | Higher on-resistance (60 Ω typ.), lower charge injection (–0.5 pC), SOIC-16 only | Optimized for ultra-low-distortion audio; lacks DIP packaging | Select when lowest possible charge injection is critical and PCB redesign is acceptable |
| ADG441BRZ | Wider supply range (±20 V), higher leakage (±20 nA), same 16-pin SOIC/DIP footprint | Better suited for industrial HV sensor conditioning where leakage tolerance >10 nA | Choose for extended voltage headroom where ±15 V margin is insufficient |
Compared with DG441BDJ, MAX4617ESE+ offers superior charge injection performance but requires SOIC layout adaptation, while ADG441BRZ extends analog voltage range at the cost of higher off-leakage - making DG441BDJ optimal for cost-sensitive, DIP-based medical DAQ designs requiring balanced speed, precision, and legacy compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by DG441BDJ?
DG441BDJ supports a full analog signal range of ±15 V when operated from dual supplies (V+ = +15 V, V− = −15 V). This allows direct interfacing with bipolar op-amps and sensors without external level-shifting. The device clamps input signals exceeding V+ or V− via internal diodes, provided forward current remains within 30 mA absolute maximum rating.
Does DG441BDJ require separate logic and analog grounds?
No - DG441BDJ uses a single GND pin (pin 10) serving as the common reference for both digital control inputs and analog signal paths. Its design integrates logic and analog ground domains internally, eliminating need for split-ground layout. However, best practice recommends routing this GND to a low-impedance star point shared with V+ and V− decoupling capacitors.
Can DG441BDJ operate from a single 12 V supply?
Yes - DG441BDJ functions with single-supply operation (V+ = 12 V, V− = 0 V), delivering an analog signal range of 0 V to 12 V. In this mode, on-resistance increases to 90 Ω typ., and turn-on time extends to 120 ns typ., maintaining compatibility with most 12 V data acquisition architectures without redesign.
How does DG441BDJ minimize pedestal error in sample-and-hold circuits?
DG441BDJ minimizes pedestal error by reducing charge injection to –1 pC typ. at the drain terminal. When used in the hold path (drain connected to hold capacitor), this low charge transfer limits voltage step upon switch opening - ensuring <1 mV error in standard 1 nF sample capacitors and preserving DC accuracy in precision measurement loops.
Is DG441BDJ pin-compatible with the original DG441?
Yes - DG441BDJ is a direct upgrade to the legacy DG441, sharing identical pinout, electrical specifications, and package dimensions (16-pin plastic DIP). It improves on the original with tighter on-resistance matching, reduced charge injection, and enhanced latchup immunity - enabling drop-in replacement without PCB or firmware changes.
