Product details
Overview
DG442DY from Vishay Siliconix is a quad SPST normally open CMOS analog switch in 16-pin narrow SOIC package, featuring 50 Ω typical on-resistance, 150 ns typical turn-on time, and ±15 V dual-supply operation. It enables low-distortion signal routing in precision sample-and-hold circuits and battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the DG442DY datasheet, DG442DY pinout, DG442DY application, or DG442DY equivalent, key selection criteria include its 80 pA max off-leakage at full temperature range, TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs (0.8 V low / 2.4 V high), and guaranteed charge injection of –1 pC for pedestal error control in analog sampling.
Technical Context
The DG442DY implements four independent bidirectional analog switches fabricated on Vishay's high-voltage silicon-gate process with epitaxial latchup prevention. Each channel conducts equally in both directions when ON and blocks signals up to supply rails when OFF.
Its logic interface accepts standard TTL/CMOS voltage levels and drives internal transmission gates without external level shifting. The device supports dual-supply (±15 V) and single-supply (12 V) configurations, with analog signal range spanning full rail-to-rail under specified conditions.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4618ESE+ | Higher rDS(on) (120 Ω typ.), lower supply voltage (±5.5 V max), no single-supply mode | Not suitable for ±15 V industrial sensors or 12 V battery systems | Select DG442DY for rail-to-rail analog range and single-supply flexibility |
| ADG442BRZ | Same pinout, identical rDS(on) and tON specs, but 100 pA max ID(off) vs DG442DY's 20 nA | Superior leakage performance for ultra-high-Z medical front-ends | Choose ADG442BRZ where sub-nA leakage dominates design margin |
Compared with MAX4618ESE+ and ADG442BRZ, the DG442DY uniquely balances ±15 V operation, 12 V single-supply capability, and 20 nA leakage-making it optimal for cost-sensitive industrial DAQ and portable test equipment where supply flexibility and moderate leakage tolerance coexist.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the DG442DY?
The DG442DY supports an analog signal range of ±15 V when operated with ±15 V supplies, and 0–12 V with a +12 V single supply. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (Document Number 70053, page 2), where V+ to V– is rated at 44 V and analog signal range is specified as full rail-to-rail under test conditions. Exceeding these limits risks clamping or damage.
Does the DG442DY require external level-shifting circuitry when driven by 3.3 V logic?
No, the DG442DY does not support direct 3.3 V logic drive. Its digital inputs require TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds: 0.8 V max for logic low and 2.4 V min for logic high. Driving with 3.3 V logic may result in undefined states unless the 3.3 V system guarantees ≥2.4 V high output. For 3.3 V microcontrollers, a simple resistor divider or buffer is recommended to ensure compliance with DG442DY input specifications.
Can the DG442DY be used in a single-supply +5 V system?
No, the DG442DY is not characterized or guaranteed for +5 V single-supply operation. Datasheet test conditions specify minimum +12 V (or ±15 V) for functional validation. At +5 V, rDS(on) increases significantly (>200 Ω), leakage rises, and switching times degrade beyond specification-per the Unipolar Supply section (page 4). Use DG442DY only in +12 V or ±15 V systems.
How does the DG442DY differ from the DG441DY in functionality?
The DG442DY is a quad SPST normally open (NO) switch, while the DG441DY is normally closed (NC). When all INx inputs are low, DG442DY channels are open (high impedance), whereas DG441DY channels conduct. This functional difference is explicitly stated in the first paragraph of the datasheet (page 1): "The DG441 has a normally closed function. The DG442 has a normally open function." Pinouts and electrical specs are otherwise identical.
Is the DG442DY RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the DG442DY is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. Vishay confirms RoHS compliance for all current-production SOIC-packaged DG442 variants, including DG442DY, per their official product change notices and packaging data sheets. The device carries the "Y" suffix per Vishay's part numbering convention for lead-free, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant SOIC packages.
