Product details
Overview
DG442CY+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad, normally open (NO), single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch IC designed for precision signal routing in mixed-signal systems. It features 85Ω max on-resistance, 4Ω max on-resistance matching between channels, 9Ω max on-resistance flatness, 10pC max charge injection, and operates from +10V to +30V single supply or ±4.5V to ±20V dual supplies - used in audio-signal routing and test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the DG442CY+ datasheet, DG442CY+ pinout, DG442CY+ application, or DG442CY+ equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail analog signal handling (±15.5V), low off-leakage (<5nA at +85°C), TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, and exposed-pad Thin QFN-EP package thermal performance.
Technical Context
The DG442CY+ implements four independent SPST switches with complementary logic control: logic high enables conduction (NO configuration). Its silicon-gate 44V process ensures robust operation across wide supply ranges and temperature extremes (0°C to +70°C).
Switching is bidirectional with matched rDS(ON) and guaranteed flatness over the full analog range, enabling accurate signal gain/attenuation paths. Charge injection is tightly controlled (10pC max) to minimize sampling error in sample-and-hold circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| rDS(ON) | 85Ω max - ensures minimal insertion loss and voltage drop in signal paths up to ±15.5V analog range. |
| rDS(ON) Match | 4Ω max - enables precise channel-to-channel gain tracking in multi-path instrumentation. |
| rFLAT(ON) | 9Ω max - maintains consistent signal attenuation across full input voltage swing, critical for linear signal routing. |
| Charge Injection | 10pC max - reduces settling error and droop in sample-and-hold and ADC front-end applications. |
| tON/tOFF | <250ns / <170ns - supports fast multiplexing in automated test equipment and real-time signal switching. |
| Off-Leakage (IOFF) | <5nA at +85°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and battery-operated systems. |
| Supply Range | +10V to +30V (single) or ±4.5V to ±20V (dual) - accommodates industrial, telecom, and military power architectures. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin Narrow SO (Small Outline), lead(Pb)-free, exposed pad connected to V+ per datasheet requirement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 | Digital Control Input | TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs; high = switch ON (NO configuration) for corresponding channel. |
| D1–D4 | Analog Drain Terminal | One side of each SPST switch; bidirectional signal path, rated for ±15.5V relative to V−. |
| S1–S4 | Analog Source Terminal | Other side of each SPST switch; connects to load or downstream circuitry; rail-to-rail capable. |
| V+ | Positive Supply | Primary positive rail (up to +30V); substrate connection point; exposed pad must be tied to V+. |
| V− | Negative Supply | Negative rail for dual supply (down to −20V); required for bipolar operation and full analog range. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Logic ground reference; separate from analog signal return; not internally connected to substrate. |
| N.C. | No Internal Connection | Pin 12 (SO package) is unconnected - must be left floating or grounded per layout best practice. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports analog signals from V− to V+ (±15.5V typical), enabling full dynamic range utilization in ±15V systems. |
| Low charge injection (10pC) | Minimizes voltage step errors during switching in precision sampling circuits and DAC output buffering. |
| Guaranteed rDS(ON) match (4Ω) | Ensures uniform gain/loss across all four channels - essential for multi-channel calibration and beamforming. |
| ESD tolerance (2000V min) | Meets Method 3015.7 - improves robustness during board handling and system integration without external protection. |
| Bidirectional conduction | Enables flexible signal routing regardless of source/sink orientation - simplifies PCB layout in analog backplanes. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG442BRZ | 80Ω rDS(ON), 250ns tON, no exposed pad; operates up to +36V but lacks guaranteed rFLAT(ON). | Higher leakage (>20nA at +85°C); less suitable for precision sample-and-hold or high-temp industrial use. | Prefer DG442CY+ where on-resistance flatness and low high-temp leakage are critical. |
| TS5A3157DCKR | Single-channel, 0.9Ω rDS(ON), 3.3V logic only, ±5.5V analog range - incompatible supply architecture. | Not pin-compatible; requires redesign for quad-channel, high-voltage, bipolar operation. | Select DG442CY+ when quad SPST, ±20V dual-supply capability, and 4Ω match are mandatory. |
Compared with ADG442BRZ and TS5A3157DCKR, the DG442CY+ uniquely delivers guaranteed 9Ω rFLAT(ON) and <5nA off-leakage at +85°C in a quad NO configuration - making it the only option for high-accuracy, temperature-stable analog multiplexing in ±15V systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the DG442CY+?
The DG442CY+ supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V− to V+, with a typical range of ±15.5V under ±15V dual-supply conditions. When operated from a +12V single supply (V− = 0V), the analog range extends from 0V to +12V. Absolute maximum analog voltage is limited to (V− − 2V) to (V+ + 2V) per pin ratings, and the difference between V+ and V− must not exceed +44V.
Is the DG442CY+ pin-compatible with legacy DG442 variants?
Yes - the DG442CY+ uses the same 16-pin Narrow SO footprint and pinout as the standard DG442CY. The "+" suffix denotes lead(Pb)-free packaging per Maxim's ordering convention; electrical, thermal, and functional behavior is identical to non-"+" versions.
Does the DG442CY+ require external protection diodes for overvoltage conditions?
No - the DG442CY+ includes internal ESD protection rated to 2000V per Method 3015.7. However, external series diodes are recommended if supply sequencing cannot be guaranteed (V+ first, then V−), as they prevent latch-up during power-up transients while preserving low rDS(ON) and leakage performance.
What is the significance of the exposed pad (EP) on the DG442CY+ package?
The exposed pad on the DG442CY+ Thin QFN-EP package must be soldered and electrically connected to V+ to ensure proper substrate biasing and thermal dissipation. It is not a standalone V+ connection - the main V+ pin (Pin 13) must still be bonded. Failure to connect EP to V+ may cause increased on-resistance or thermal instability.
How does the DG442CY+ perform in high-temperature environments?
The DG442CY+ is rated for 0°C to +70°C operation and guarantees <5nA off-leakage current at +85°C - significantly improved over prior-generation analog switches. On-resistance increases predictably with temperature (see Figure 5), but rDS(ON) match remains within 4Ω and flatness within 9Ω across the full specified range.
