Product details
Overview
DG442DY 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 instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the DG442DY datasheet, DG442DY pinout, DG442DY application, or DG442DY 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 ESD tolerance (2000V min per Method 3015.7).
Technical Context
The DG442DY implements four independent SPST switches with active-high control logic and no internal connection between channels. Each switch conducts bidirectionally with matched on-resistance across all four channels and flat on-resistance (<9Ω variation) over the full analog signal range under bipolar supply conditions.
It uses a 44V silicon-gate process enabling operation up to ±20V supplies while maintaining low leakage and fast switching. The device requires proper supply sequencing (V+ before V−) and supports unbalanced supplies like +24V/−5V, with analog range limited only by supply rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| rDS(ON) max | 85Ω - Ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision analog paths. |
| rDS(ON) match | 4Ω max - Enables accurate channel-to-channel signal matching in multiplexed or differential applications. |
| Charge injection | 10pC max - Reduces sampling error and pedestal distortion in sample-and-hold circuits. |
| tON / tOFF | 250ns / 170ns max - Supports high-speed signal switching in automated test and comms systems. |
| Analog range | Rail-to-rail (±15.5V typical) - Allows full utilization of supply voltage headroom without clipping. |
| Off-leakage @ +85°C | <5nA - Maintains signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and battery-powered standby modes. |
| Supply range | ±4.5V to ±20V or +10V to +30V - Provides flexibility for industrial, military, and portable designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin narrow SO (SOIC-16), -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 16, 9, 8 | IN1–IN4 | Active-high digital control inputs; TTL/CMOS compatible; drive internal gate of respective switch. |
| 2, 15, 10, 7 | D1–D4 | Drain terminals - bidirectional analog signal nodes; connected to load or downstream circuitry. |
| 3, 14, 11, 6 | S1–S4 | Source terminals - bidirectional analog signal nodes; connected to source or upstream signal path. |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply rail input; must be connected for bipolar operation or grounded for single-supply use. |
| 5 | GND | Digital ground reference; separate from analog signal return unless system design mandates common ground. |
| 12 | V+ | Positive supply rail input; also tied to substrate; connects to exposed pad in QFN variants (not applicable to DG442DY). |
| 13 | N.C. | No internal connection - must remain unconnected; not used for thermal or electrical purposes. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG442BRZ | 44V supply rating, 40Ω rDS(ON) typ, 20pC charge injection, SOIC-16 package | Higher on-resistance flatness spec not guaranteed; lower ESD rating (1500V HBM) | Preferred where lower typical on-resistance outweighs need for guaranteed matching or ESD margin. |
| TS5A23157DGSR | Single-supply only (+1.65V to +5.5V), 0.9Ω rDS(ON) typ, 15pC charge injection, 10-pin VSSOP | Not suitable for ±15V or high-voltage analog routing; optimized for low-voltage portable audio | Select when operating below +5.5V and prioritizing ultra-low on-resistance over high-voltage capability. |
Compared with DG442DY, ADG442BRZ offers lower typical on-resistance but lacks guaranteed rDS(ON) matching and reduced ESD robustness, while TS5A23157DGSR enables ultra-low-voltage operation but cannot support the ±20V or +30V supply ranges required in industrial test and military systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for DG442DY?
The DG442DY has an absolute maximum V+ rating of 44V referenced to V−, with recommended dual-supply operation from ±4.5V to ±20V or single-supply operation from +10V to +30V. Exceeding ±20V or +30V risks permanent damage, and the difference between V+ and V− must not exceed +44V per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table in the DG442DY datasheet.
Does DG442DY support rail-to-rail analog signal switching?
Yes, the DG442DY supports rail-to-rail analog signal handling - its analog inputs (S and D pins) can swing from V− to V+ without degradation in on-resistance or increased distortion. This capability is explicitly confirmed in the "Existing Features" section and verified across electrical characteristics tables for both bipolar and single-supply configurations of the DG442DY.
What is the logic polarity of DG442DY control inputs?
The DG442DY features active-high logic: each INx pin controls its corresponding SPST switch such that a logic high (≥2.4V) turns the switch ON (closed), and a logic low (≤0.8V) turns it OFF (open). This is confirmed in the functional diagram, truth table, and pin description sections of the DG442DY datasheet, distinguishing it from the DG441DY (normally closed, same logic polarity).
Is DG442DY pin-compatible with older industry-standard DG442 variants?
Yes, the DG442DY is a direct replacement for legacy DG442 devices in the 16-pin narrow SO package, retaining identical pinout, logic behavior, and electrical interface. The "Plug-In Upgrades" section of the DG442DY datasheet explicitly states backward compatibility, and all pin functions (IN1–IN4, S1–S4, D1–D4, V+, V−, GND, N.C.) match the original industry-standard layout.
What is the guaranteed off-leakage current specification for DG442DY at elevated temperature?
The DG442DY guarantees off-leakage current of less than 5nA at +85°C, as specified in the "New Features" list and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics tables under IS(OFF) and ID(OFF) parameters. This value is 100% tested at maximum rated hot temperature and correlated at +25°C - a key improvement over earlier DG442 versions and critical for high-impedance sensor and sample-and-hold applications.
