Product details
Overview
DG442DY-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a quad SPST normally open (NO) CMOS analog switch IC designed for precision signal routing in instrumentation and data acquisition systems. It delivers 50 Ω typical on-resistance, 150 ns typical turn-on time, ±15 V dual-supply or 12 V single-supply operation, and -1 pC charge injection-enabling low-distortion audio switching and sample-and-hold circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the DG442DY-E3 datasheet, DG442DY-E3 pinout, DG442DY-E3 application, or DG442DY-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its NO configuration, SOIC-16 narrow package, guaranteed 0.5 nA max off-leakage at full temperature range, and compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic levels across -40 °C to +85 °C.
Technical Context
The DG442DY-E3 implements four independent bidirectional SPST switches built on Vishay's high-voltage silicon-gate process, featuring epitaxial latchup protection. Each channel supports symmetrical conduction and blocks signals beyond supply rails when off.
Its control logic is TTL/CMOS-compatible with defined thresholds (≤0.8 V for logic "0", ≥2.4 V for logic "1"), and it operates with single-supply (0–12 V) or dual-supply (±15 V) configurations-enabling retrofit into legacy DG202 sockets without redesign.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch type | Quad SPST, normally open (NO) - all four channels default open until enabled |
| On-resistance | 50 Ω typ. at ±15 V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation in precision analog paths |
| Turn-on time | 150 ns typ. (RL = 1 kΩ, CL = 35 pF) - supports high-throughput multiplexing up to ~3 MHz |
| Charge injection | -1 pC typ. - reduces pedestal error in sample-and-hold and ADC front-end applications |
| Off-leakage current | ±0.5 nA max over -40 °C to +85 °C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces |
| Supply range | Single: 5–12 V; Dual: ±5 V to ±22 V - enables flexible power architecture in battery-powered and industrial systems |
| Logic compatibility | TTL/CMOS - simplifies interface with microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin narrow SOIC (JEDEC MS-012), body dimensions 9.8–10.0 mm × 3.8–4.0 mm × 1.35–1.75 mm height, 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5, 9, 13 | IN1–IN4 | Independent digital control inputs - each enables one SPST switch (NO logic: high = on) |
| 2, 6, 10, 14 | S1–S4 | Source terminals - bidirectional analog I/O nodes tied to system ground or signal return |
| 3, 7, 11, 15 | D1–D4 | Drain terminals - bidirectional analog I/O nodes connected to sensors, DACs, or amplifiers |
| 4 | V+ | Positive supply rail - accepts up to +22 V (dual) or +12 V (single) |
| 8 | V- | Negative supply rail - accepts down to -22 V (dual) or 0 V (single) |
| 12 | GND | Analog/digital reference ground - must be low-impedance for leakage and noise control |
| 16 | NC | No connect - internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional analog conduction | Equal on-resistance in both directions - eliminates polarity constraints in AC-coupled or differential signal paths |
| Low charge injection (-1 pC) | Minimizes voltage step errors during sampling - critical for 12-bit+ data acquisition accuracy |
| High off-isolation (60 dB @ 1 MHz) | Prevents crosstalk between adjacent channels - maintains signal integrity in dense multiplexer layouts |
| Single- and dual-supply operation | Eliminates need for external level shifters in mixed-rail systems - reduces BOM count and board space |
| Latchup-immune construction | Epitaxial isolation layer prevents destructive latchup - enhances reliability in noisy industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4618ESE+ | Lower on-resistance (0.5 Ω typ.), but only dual-channel; requires 2.7–5.5 V supply only | Not suitable for ±15 V or >5 V single-supply systems; better for low-voltage portable designs | Select MAX4618ESE+ only if supply is ≤5.5 V and channel count allows two devices |
| ADG1412BRUZ | Quad SPST NO, 1.3 Ω on-resistance, but higher charge injection (+2.5 pC), 12 V max supply | Superior on-resistance for precision gain-setting, but unsuitable for ±15 V or high-fidelity sample-and-hold | Choose ADG1412BRUZ when ultra-low RDS(on) outweighs charge injection sensitivity |
Compared with DG442DY-E3, MAX4618ESE+ offers lower resistance but lacks dual-supply capability and channel count, while ADG1412BRUZ trades higher charge injection for sub-ohm performance-making DG442DY-E3 optimal for ±15 V, low-leakage, and low-charge-injection requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for DG442DY-E3?
The DG442DY-E3 supports dual supplies up to ±22 V and single supplies up to 36 V. Absolute maximum ratings specify V+ to V- ≤ 44 V, with derating above 75 °C. For reliable long-term operation, Vishay recommends staying within ±15 V dual or 12 V single supply limits per the datasheet's recommended operating conditions. DG442DY-E3 must never exceed these limits to avoid permanent damage.
Does DG442DY-E3 support single-supply operation with ground-referenced signals?
Yes, DG442DY-E3 supports true single-supply operation from 5 V to 12 V with V- tied to GND. In this mode, analog signals must stay within 0 V to V+ (e.g., 0–12 V), and logic inputs remain TTL/CMOS-compatible. The device maintains 100 Ω typical on-resistance and 300 ns typical turn-on time under 12 V single supply-verified in the datasheet's single-supply specifications table. DG442DY-E3 is widely used in battery-powered data loggers for this reason.
How does the charge injection of DG442DY-E3 impact sample-and-hold accuracy?
DG442DY-E3 specifies -1 pC typical charge injection, measured with CL = 1 nF and VS = 0 V. In a 100 nF hold capacitor, this induces a 10 µV pedestal error-well within tolerance for 12-bit (≈2.4 mV LSB at 10 V full scale) and acceptable for many 14-bit systems. This value is guaranteed by design and validated across temperature. DG442DY-E3 is explicitly recommended for sample-and-hold circuits in Vishay's Application Note 826.
Is DG442DY-E3 pin-compatible with older DG202 series switches?
Yes, DG442DY-E3 is a direct socket upgrade for DG202 in 16-pin SOIC and DIP packages. Pin functions match exactly: INx, Sx, Dx, V+, V-, GND, and NC positions align. DG442DY-E3 improves on DG202 with lower on-resistance (50 Ω vs. 90 Ω), faster switching (150 ns vs. 300 ns), and reduced charge injection (-1 pC vs. -5 pC). No PCB changes are required when replacing DG202 with DG442DY-E3.
What is the off-isolation performance of DG442DY-E3 at 1 MHz?
DG442DY-E3 provides 60 dB minimum off-isolation at 1 MHz, measured with RL = 50 Ω and CL = 5 pF. This specification ensures strong rejection of coupled signals between adjacent channels in high-density multiplexer designs. Off-isolation remains >40 dB up to 10 MHz per typical characteristics curves. DG442DY-E3 achieves this via optimized internal layout and high-voltage silicon-gate process, making it suitable for RF-adjacent analog routing.
