Product details
Overview
DG442DJ from Maxim Integrated is a quad, normally open (NO), single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch IC designed for precision signal routing in bipolar or single-supply systems. It features 85Ω max on-resistance, <5nA off-leakage at +85°C, 10pC max charge injection, 250ns max tON, and operates from ±4.5V to ±20V or +10V to +30V supplies - used in test equipment, audio-signal routing, and battery-operated systems.
For engineers reviewing the DG442DJ datasheet, DG442DJ pinout, DG442DJ application, or DG442DJ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed rDS(ON) matching (4Ω max), rail-to-rail analog signal handling, TTL/CMOS logic compatibility, low power consumption (1.65mW), and -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating.
Technical Context
The DG442DJ implements four independent SPST switches with active-high digital control inputs and complementary logic sense versus DG441DJ. Each switch conducts bidirectionally with matched on-resistance across channels and flat on-resistance over the full analog range (9Ω max variation).
It uses a 44V silicon-gate process enabling operation up to ±20V supplies while maintaining ESD tolerance of ≥2000V per Method 3015.7. Switching performance is characterized under both dual-supply (±15V) and single-supply (+12V) conditions, with leakage and charge injection fully tested at maximum operating temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | Quad SPST, normally open (NO), TTL/CMOS-compatible control |
| On-Resistance (rDS(ON)) | 85Ω max - ensures minimal signal attenuation in precision analog paths |
| On-Resistance Match | 4Ω max between channels - critical for multi-channel signal matching in instrumentation |
| Charge Injection | 10pC max - reduces voltage glitch in sample-and-hold and multiplexer applications |
| Off-Leakage Current | <5nA at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces |
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±20V or +10V to +30V - supports flexible system-level power architecture |
| Switching Time (tON/tOFF) | 250ns / 170ns max - enables fast channel switching in automated test equipment |
Pinout & Package
DG442DJ is supplied in a 16-pin plastic DIP package with through-hole mounting and standard 0.3-inch width. Pin 1 is S1 (source terminal of Channel 1), and the exposed pad is not present - this variant uses traditional DIP construction without thermal EP.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | S1 | Source terminal of Channel 1 - connects to signal path when switch is enabled |
| 2 | V− | Negative supply rail - must be connected for bipolar operation or grounded for single supply |
| 3 | GND | Logic ground reference - separate from analog signal ground in mixed-signal layouts |
| 4 | S4 | Source terminal of Channel 4 - independently controllable, bidirectional conduction |
| 5 | D4 | Drain terminal of Channel 4 - completes signal path with S4 when IN4 = high |
| 6 | IN4 | Digital control input for Channel 4 - active-high logic enables switch closure |
| 7 | IN3 | Digital control input for Channel 3 - TTL/CMOS compatible, VIH = 2.4V min |
| 8 | D3 | Drain terminal of Channel 3 - routed to external circuitry when switch is on |
| 9 | S3 | Source terminal of Channel 3 - forms low-distortion analog path with D3 |
| 10 | N.C. | No internal connection - left unconnected on PCB |
| 11 | V+ | Positive supply rail - powers analog core and logic interface; substrate tie |
| 12 | S2 | Source terminal of Channel 2 - electrically isolated from other channels |
| 13 | D2 | Drain terminal of Channel 2 - supports rail-to-rail signal swing up to V+ and V− |
| 14 | IN2 | Digital control input for Channel 2 - shares same logic threshold as IN1–IN4 |
| 15 | IN1 | Digital control input for Channel 1 - controls S1–D1 path; no internal pull-up/down |
| 16 | D1 | Drain terminal of Channel 1 - primary signal output node for first switch |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed rDS(ON) match | ≤4Ω between all four channels - eliminates gain mismatch in multi-path data acquisition |
| rFLAT(ON) over signal range | ≤9Ω variation from V− to V+ - maintains consistent gain across full analog input span |
| Low charge injection | ≤10pC - minimizes sampling error in precision ADC front-ends and hold circuits |
| Enhanced off-leakage | <5nA at +85°C - sustains accuracy in high-Z medical sensor and battery-monitoring circuits |
| Rail-to-rail signal handling | Supports signals from V− to V+ - enables direct interfacing with op-amps and DACs without level-shifting |
Applications
| Test Equipment Signal Routing | Audio-Signal Multiplexing |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG442BRZ | 16-pin SOIC, 40Ω max rDS(ON), 2.5V–12V single-supply only, no bipolar support | Limited to low-voltage systems; unsuitable for ±15V instrumentation or industrial rails | Select when operating exclusively below +12V and board space requires surface-mount packaging |
| TS5A4624DCKR | 6-pin SC70, single-channel, 0.7Ω rDS(ON), 1.65V–5.5V supply, 300mA continuous current | Requires four discrete units; optimized for portable USB/audio, not precision analog routing | Choose only for ultra-low RON in compact consumer designs - not a functional or pinout replacement for DG442DJ |
Compared with ADG442BRZ and TS5A4624DCKR, DG442DJ uniquely supports industrial bipolar supplies (±4.5V to ±20V), guarantees channel-to-channel rDS(ON) matching, and delivers verified performance at +85°C - making it irreplaceable in test equipment and ruggedized embedded signal routing where supply flexibility and matching accuracy are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for DG442DJ?
The DG442DJ is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C, qualifying it for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications. This range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and applies specifically to the plastic DIP variant (DG442DJ), distinct from commercial-grade (C-suffix) or military-grade (AK/MY-suffix) versions.
Does DG442DJ support single-supply operation?
Yes, DG442DJ supports single-supply operation from +10V to +30V. In this configuration, V− must be connected to ground (0V), and the analog signal range extends rail-to-rail from 0V to V+. The device maintains all key specifications including 10pC max charge injection and <5nA off-leakage at +85°C under single-supply conditions.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by DG442DJ?
The DG442DJ supports analog signals from V− to V+, enabling true rail-to-rail operation. With ±15V supplies, the signal range is -15V to +15V; with +12V single supply (V− = 0V), the range is 0V to +12V. Absolute maximum ratings limit V+ to 44V above V−, but functional analog range is bounded by supply rails.
Is DG442DJ pin-compatible with older DG442 variants?
Yes, DG442DJ maintains identical pinout and electrical behavior with prior DG442 versions in the same 16-pin DIP package, including DG442CJ. The "D" grade denotes the -40°C to +85°C temperature range, while functionality, timing, and DC parameters are backward-compatible per Maxim's plug-in upgrade specification.
What logic levels are compatible with DG442DJ's digital inputs?
DG442DJ's IN1–IN4 inputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible, with VIH = 2.4V minimum and VIL = 0.8V maximum at V+ = 15V. Input current remains ≤±5nA across temperature, allowing direct interfacing with microcontrollers, FPGAs, and logic families without level-shifting or buffering - a key feature confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics tables.
