Product details
Overview
DG441CY+ 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 analog paths. It features 85Ω max on-resistance, 4Ω max on-resistance matching between channels, <5nA off-leakage at +85°C, 10pC max charge injection, and operates from ±4.5V to ±20V bipolar or +10V to +30V single supply - used in test equipment, audio-signal routing, and battery-operated systems.
For engineers reviewing the DG441CY+ datasheet, DG441CY+ pinout, DG441CY+ application, or DG441CY+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed rDS(ON) flatness (9Ω max), TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, low power consumption (1.65mW), ESD tolerance (2000V min), and thermal stability across 0°C to +70°C operation.
Technical Context
The DG441CY+ implements four independent NC SPST switches using Maxim's 44V silicon-gate process, enabling symmetric conduction in either direction with rail-to-rail analog signal handling. Its architecture guarantees matched on-resistance (≤4Ω) and flat on-resistance (≤9Ω) over the full analog range under bipolar supply conditions.
Switching is controlled by active-low logic inputs (IN1–IN4), where logic "0" closes all switches. Timing performance includes tON < 250ns and tOFF < 170ns at ±15V, with low ground current (±1µA typ) and negligible supply current (±15µA max) supporting low-noise, low-distortion signal paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| rDS(ON) | 85Ω max - ensures minimal insertion loss and voltage drop in analog signal paths up to ±15.5V. |
| ΔrDS(ON) | 4Ω max - enables precise channel-to-channel signal matching critical for multiplexer and sample-and-hold circuits. |
| rFLAT(ON) | 9Ω max - maintains consistent gain and linearity across full analog input range (±15.5V) under bipolar operation. |
| Charge Injection | 10pC max - minimizes sampling errors and pedestal distortion in precision ADC driver and sample-hold applications. |
| Off-Leakage (IS(OFF)/ID(OFF)) | <5nA at +85°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and battery-backed circuits. |
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±20V bipolar or +10V to +30V single - supports flexible system-level power architecture without level-shifting. |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS - allows direct interfacing with microcontrollers, FPGAs, and digital sequencers without external buffers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin narrow SOIC (SO), RoHS-compliant lead-free, exposed pad not present (DG441CY+ uses standard SO, not QFN-EP).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 16, 9, 8 | IN1–IN4 | Active-low digital control inputs; logic "0" closes corresponding NC switch. |
| 2, 15, 10, 7 | D1–D4 | Drain terminals - bidirectional analog signal outputs connected to load or downstream circuitry. |
| 3, 14, 11, 6 | S1–S4 | Source terminals - bidirectional analog signal inputs tied to source or upstream signal path. |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply rail; must be connected for bipolar operation or grounded for single-supply use. |
| 5 | GND | Signal reference ground; separate from power ground in mixed-signal layouts to reduce noise coupling. |
| 12 | V+ | Positive supply rail; also serves as substrate connection - requires stable, low-impedance decoupling. |
| 13 | N.C. | No internal connection - left unconnected; no routing or termination required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Normally Closed (NC) Configuration | Ensures fail-safe signal continuity during power loss or logic reset - critical for safety-critical monitoring paths. |
| Guaranteed rDS(ON) Matching | ≤4Ω channel-to-channel variation enables accurate gain-matched multi-channel instrumentation front-ends. |
| Rail-to-Rail Analog Handling | Supports signals from V− to V+ (±15.5V) without clipping - eliminates need for external biasing in AC-coupled systems. |
| Low Charge Injection (10pC) | Reduces hold-mode error in sample-and-hold amplifiers and improves settling accuracy in data acquisition systems. |
| ESD Robustness (2000V HBM) | Withstands handling and board-level ESD events per Method 3015.7 - reduces field failure risk in test and industrial environments. |
Applications
| Test Equipment Signal Routing | Audio-Signal Switching |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG441BRZ | Quad NC SPST, 85Ω rDS(ON), but higher charge injection (25pC) and no guaranteed rFLAT(ON) spec. | Lacks guaranteed on-resistance flatness and tighter leakage specs - less suitable for precision sample-and-hold or high-Z sensor muxing. | Select DG441CY+ when rFLAT(ON) ≤9Ω and leakage <5nA @ +85°C are required; ADG441BRZ may suffice for general-purpose routing. |
| TS5A3157DCKR | Single-pole/double-throw (SPDT), 0.75Ω rDS(ON), but only single-channel, lower voltage rating (5.5V), and no NC default state. | Not functionally equivalent: SPDT vs SPST, no NC behavior, incompatible supply range - unsuitable for fail-safe or high-voltage routing. | DG441CY+ remains necessary for quad NC SPST topology, ±20V operation, and fail-safe closure; TS5A3157DCKR serves low-voltage, single-channel reconfiguration only. |
Compared with ADG441BRZ and TS5A3157DCKR, DG441CY+ uniquely delivers quad NC SPST functionality with guaranteed on-resistance flatness, ultra-low leakage at temperature, and bipolar ±20V capability - making it irreplaceable in precision, high-reliability, and fail-safe analog routing applications.

FAQ
What is the default switch state of DG441CY+?
The DG441CY+ is a normally closed (NC) analog switch: each of its four SPST switches conducts when the corresponding INx input is logic low (0V), and opens when INx is logic high (≥2.4V). This fail-safe behavior ensures signal continuity during power-down or controller reset - a key design feature confirmed in the functional diagram and truth table of the DG441CY+ datasheet.
Does DG441CY+ support single-supply operation?
Yes, DG441CY+ supports single-supply operation from +10V to +30V. In this mode, V− must be connected to ground (0V), and the analog signal range extends from 0V to V+. The device retains rail-to-rail signal handling, 85Ω max rDS(ON), and all key specs including charge injection (10pC) and leakage (<5nA at +85°C) - verified in the "Electrical Characteristics-Single Supply" section of the DG441CY+ datasheet.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range for DG441CY+?
The DG441CY+ supports analog signals from V− to V+, with absolute limits of ±15.5V when operated at ±15V supplies. Under full-rated bipolar conditions (±20V), the usable analog range is ±19.5V. These values are specified in the "Analog-Signal Range" parameter (±15V typical, ±15.5V guaranteed) and validated across temperature in the Typical Operating Characteristics graphs for DG441CY+.
Is DG441CY+ pin-compatible with legacy DG441 variants?
Yes, DG441CY+ is pin-compatible with all industry-standard DG441 variants in the 16-pin narrow SO package (e.g., DG441CY, DG441DY), sharing identical pinout, footprint, and electrical interface. The "+" suffix denotes lead-free compliance per Maxim's ordering convention - confirmed in the "Ordering Information" table and package drawings for DG441CY+.
What thermal performance can be expected from DG441CY+ at +85°C?
At +85°C, DG441CY+ guarantees off-leakage current <5nA (per IS(OFF)/ID(OFF) specs), on-resistance flatness ≤9Ω, and rDS(ON) ≤85Ω - all tested and 100% production-verified per the "Electrical Characteristics" tables. Thermal derating follows the narrow SO package's 8.70mW/°C specification, with 696mW max power dissipation at +70°C ambient - data confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Thermal Characteristics sections for DG441CY+.
