Product details
Overview
DG441C/D from Maxim Integrated is a quad, normally-closed (NC), single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch IC designed for precision signal routing in rail-to-rail, bipolar or single-supply systems. It features 85Ω max on-resistance, 4Ω max on-resistance matching between channels, 10pC max charge injection, <5nA off-leakage at +85°C, and operates from ±4.5V to ±20V or +10V to +30V supplies - ideal for test equipment and audio-signal routing where channel consistency and low distortion are critical.
For engineers reviewing the DG441C/D datasheet, DG441C/D pinout, DG441C/D application, or DG441C/D equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed rDS(ON) flatness (9Ω max), TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, ESD tolerance (2000V min), dual- or single-supply flexibility, and die-level form factor for hybrid or custom module integration.
Technical Context
The DG441C/D implements four independent NC SPST switches using a 44V silicon-gate process, enabling rail-to-rail analog signal handling across its full supply range. Each switch conducts bidirectionally with matched on-resistance (≤4Ω) and tightly controlled on-resistance flatness (≤9Ω) over the signal range under bipolar operation.
It supports fast switching (tON < 250ns, tOFF < 170ns), low power consumption (1.65mW max), and robust ESD protection (2000V min per Method 3015.7). Its logic inputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible, and internal clamping diodes protect S/D terminals against signals exceeding V+ or V−.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | Quad, normally-closed (NC), SPST analog switch - all four channels default closed when logic input is low. |
| rDS(ON) Max | 85Ω at +25°C - ensures minimal signal attenuation in low-current analog paths. |
| rDS(ON) Match | 4Ω max between channels - enables precise gain/phase matching in multi-channel instrumentation. |
| Charge Injection | 10pC max - reduces voltage glitch and settling error in sample-and-hold and multiplexed ADC front-ends. |
| Off-Leakage Current | <5nA at +85°C - preserves DC accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and battery-operated systems. |
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±20V (bipolar) or +10V to +30V (single) - supports industrial, military, and telecom voltage rails without level-shifting. |
| ESD Rating | 2000V min per Method 3015.7 - provides built-in handling robustness for assembly and field environments. |
Pinout & Package
DG441C/D is supplied as a bare die (dice) - no leadframe or molded package - intended for hybrid microcircuit assembly, chip-on-board (COB), or custom module integration. The die includes bond pads corresponding to the 16-pin DIP/SO pinout layout, with exposed substrate connection to V+.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 | Digital control input | Active-low logic inputs: low = switch closed (NC function); compatible with TTL/CMOS voltage thresholds. |
| D1–D4 | Analog drain terminal | Bidirectional analog node - connects to signal source or load depending on system topology; clamped to V+/V−. |
| S1–S4 | Analog source terminal | Bidirectional analog node - completes switch path with corresponding Dx; rail-to-rail capable. |
| V+ | Positive supply | Connects to substrate; must be tied to highest potential in bipolar mode or +10V to +30V in single-supply mode. |
| V− | Negative supply | Required for bipolar operation (±4.5V to ±20V); tie to GND for single-supply use (+10V to +30V). |
| GND | Ground reference | Logic ground reference; separate from analog signal ground unless system design mandates common reference. |
| N.C. | No internal connection | Pin 10 (DIP/SO) has no internal bond - electrically floating; must not be connected in layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed rFLAT(ON) | 9Ω max over full analog signal range - ensures linear gain response in precision attenuators and programmable gain stages. |
| Low charge injection | 10pC max - minimizes sampling error in data acquisition systems with >12-bit resolution requirements. |
| Improved off-leakage | <5nA at +85°C - maintains accuracy in high-impedance thermistor or photodiode front-ends over temperature. |
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals from V− to V+ - eliminates need for external level-shifting in wide-dynamic-range systems. |
| TTL/CMOS logic interface | Input thresholds of 0.8V (low) and 2.4V (high) - allows direct interfacing with standard 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4617C/D | Quad SPST, normally-open (NO), 60Ω rDS(ON), 2.5V to 36V supply, 20pC charge injection | Requires active-high logic drive; higher on-resistance and charge injection limit use in precision sample-and-hold | Select when NO logic polarity is required and lower leakage at extreme temperatures is less critical than cost. |
| ADG1411YCPZ-REEL7 | Quad SPST, NC, 1.8Ω rDS(ON), ±15V supply, 0.2pC charge injection, but only available in 16-lead LFCSP | Superior performance but incompatible die form factor; requires PCB redesign and requalification | Choose only if system-level performance demands justify packaging change and qualification effort. |
Compared with MAX4617C/D and ADG1411YCPZ-REEL7, DG441C/D uniquely balances NC functionality, die-level integration, 4Ω channel matching, and proven 2000V ESD robustness - making it optimal for hybrid military, test, and high-reliability embedded designs where footprint, thermal management, and supply flexibility are constrained.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for DG441C/D?
The DG441C/D is rated for 0°C to +70°C operation. This temperature grade is defined in the ordering information table and applies specifically to the DG441C/D variant. It is distinct from the wider-range DG441D/E (–40°C to +85°C) and DG441AK/MY (–55°C to +125°C) variants. Thermal derating and leakage performance are validated within this range.
Is DG441C/D a normally-open or normally-closed switch?
DG441C/D is a normally-closed (NC) analog switch. When the digital input (INx) is logic low (≤0.8V), the corresponding switch is closed; when high (≥2.4V), it opens. This behavior is explicitly defined in the functional diagrams and truth tables for the DG441 family - in contrast to the DG442, which is normally-open. DG441C/D implements four independent NC SPST switches.
Does DG441C/D support single-supply operation?
Yes, DG441C/D supports single-supply operation from +10V to +30V. In this configuration, V− must be connected to ground (0V), and the analog signal range extends from 0V to V+. The datasheet confirms this in both the General Description and Electrical Characteristics sections, including specific single-supply test conditions (e.g., V+ = 12V, V− = 0V).
What does the "/D" suffix mean in DG441C/D?
The "/D" suffix in DG441C/D indicates the die (bare die) version of the device. As confirmed in the Ordering Information table, DG441C/D is specified for 0°C to +70°C operation and packaged as dice - not in plastic DIP, SO, or QFN. This format is intended for hybrid circuit assembly, chip-on-board integration, or custom module fabrication where leaded packages are unsuitable.
Can DG441C/D be used with unbalanced supplies like +24V and –5V?
Yes, DG441C/D can operate with unbalanced supplies such as +24V and –5V, provided the total voltage difference (V+ – V−) does not exceed 44V and each supply remains within its absolute maximum ratings (V+ ≤ 44V referenced to V−, GND ≤ 25V referenced to V−). The Applications Information section explicitly states this capability and notes that analog signal range adjusts accordingly.
