Product details
Overview
DG442ETE+ 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, rail-to-rail analog signal handling (±15.5V), and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs - enabling use in test equipment front-ends and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the DG442ETE+ datasheet, DG442ETE+ pinout, DG442ETE+ application, or DG442ETE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance matching (4Ω max between channels), on-resistance flatness (9Ω max over signal range), ESD tolerance (2000V min), dual-supply operation (±4.5V to ±20V), and thin QFN-EP package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The DG442ETE+ implements four independent SPST switches using a 44V silicon-gate process, supporting both unipolar (+10V to +30V) and bipolar (±4.5V to ±20V) supply configurations. Each switch conducts bidirectionally with matched rDS(ON) and tightly controlled rFLAT(ON), ensuring consistent signal integrity across all four channels.
Its logic interface accepts standard TTL/CMOS voltage levels, while internal clamping diodes protect S/D terminals against signals exceeding V+ or V−. The exposed pad (EP) must be connected to V+, and the N.C. pin (Pin 10 in SO/DIP, Pin 12 in QFN) is not internally bonded - critical for thermal and layout design in industrial-grade applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| rDS(ON) | 85Ω max - ensures minimal insertion loss and low distortion for audio and sensor signals up to ±15.5V. |
| ΔrDS(ON) | 4Ω max - guarantees channel-to-channel on-resistance matching for multi-channel calibration and multiplexing. |
| rFLAT(ON) | 9Ω max - maintains stable gain and linearity across full analog input range under bipolar supply operation. |
| Charge Injection | 10pC max - minimizes voltage glitch in sample-and-hold circuits and precision ADC front-ends. |
| Off-Leakage Current | <5nA at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and battery-operated metering. |
| tON/tOFF | <250ns / <170ns - supports fast switching in automated test equipment and real-time signal routing. |
| ESD Tolerance | 2000V min (HBM, Method 3015.7) - enables robust handling in manufacturing and field-deployed systems. |
Pinout & Package
The DG442ETE+ is housed in a 16-pin Thin QFN-EP (5mm × 5mm) package with exposed pad. Pin 1 is D1; Pin 2 is V−; Pin 3 is GND; Pin 4 is S4; Pin 5 is D4; Pin 6 is IN4; Pin 7 is IN3; Pin 8 is D3; Pin 9 is S3; Pin 10 is N.C.; Pin 11 is V+; Pin 12 is S2; Pin 13 is D2; Pin 14 is IN2; Pin 15 is IN1; Pin 16 is D1. Exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to V+ for thermal performance and ESD robustness.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 | Digital control input | TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs that enable respective SPST switch (high = ON for DG442). |
| S1–S4 | Analog source terminal | Low-impedance connection point for analog signal return path; bidirectional conduction with D pins. |
| D1–D4 | Analog drain terminal | Primary analog signal path terminal; supports rail-to-rail voltages up to ±15.5V with matched rDS(ON). |
| V+ | Positive supply rail | Connects to substrate and exposed pad; must be ≥ |V−| + 0.3V and ≤ 44V above V−. |
| V− | Negative supply rail | Required for bipolar operation; sets lower bound of analog signal range and defines off-state isolation. |
| GND | Logic reference ground | Reference for digital inputs only; not tied to analog signal path - enables mixed-signal system partitioning. |
| N.C. | No internal connection | Pin 10 is unconnected die bond site; must be left floating or grounded per layout best practices. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to V+ plane; improves thermal dissipation (derate 20.8mW/°C above +70°C) and ESD path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG442BRUZ | 80Ω max rDS(ON), 15pC charge injection, SOIC-16 package only - no exposed pad or QFN option. | Lacks thin QFN-EP thermal performance; higher charge injection limits use in precision sample-and-hold. | Select when SOIC-16 footprint is mandatory and thermal load is moderate; verify rFLAT(ON) spec is not required. |
| TS5A3157DCKR | Single-channel, 0.9Ω typical rDS(ON), 3.3V-only supply - incompatible with ±15V or +24V operation. | Not suitable for high-voltage analog routing; limited to low-voltage consumer electronics. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-voltage (<5.5V) applications where quad integration and high-voltage support are unnecessary. |
Compared with ADG442BRUZ and TS5A3157DCKR, the DG442ETE+ uniquely combines quad SPST topology, ±20V bipolar support, 4Ω max rDS(ON) matching, and thermally enhanced QFN-EP packaging - making it the only option qualified for industrial ATE and military-grade signal routing where channel uniformity and thermal reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the DG442ETE+?
The DG442ETE+ is rated for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C. This range is validated across all electrical specifications including rDS(ON), off-leakage current (<5nA at +85°C), and switching times. The device uses Maxim's 44V silicon-gate process to maintain parameter stability across this full range, and its Thin QFN-EP package enhances thermal dissipation to sustain performance under continuous load.
Does the DG442ETE+ support single-supply operation?
Yes, the DG442ETE+ supports single-supply operation from +10V to +30V. In this mode, V− must be connected to ground (0V), and the analog signal range becomes 0V to V+ − 0.5V. Key parameters like rDS(ON) (100Ω max) and charge injection (10pC max) remain specified and tested under single-supply conditions, though rFLAT(ON) and ΔrDS(ON) guarantees apply only with bipolar supplies per datasheet Note 4.
How should the exposed pad (EP) on the DG442ETE+ be connected?
The exposed pad (EP) on the DG442ETE+ must be soldered directly to the V+ power plane on the PCB. It is not a standalone V+ connection - the main V+ pin (Pin 11) must also be routed. Connecting EP to V+ reduces thermal resistance by ~50%, enabling 1667mW max power dissipation at +70°C (derated 20.8mW/°C above). Failure to connect EP degrades thermal performance and ESD robustness, potentially violating the 2000V HBM specification.
Is the DG442ETE+ pin-compatible with older DG442 variants?
Yes, the DG442ETE+ is pin-compatible with other 16-pin DG442 variants including DG442DY (SOIC) and DG442DJ (PDIP), sharing identical pin functions and spacing. However, the Thin QFN-EP footprint differs mechanically - land pattern and solder stencil must follow Maxim's T1655-2 package drawing (Document No. 21-0140). Electrical behavior, including timing and leakage, is improved over legacy versions but retains full functional equivalence.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage the DG442ETE+ can handle?
The DG442ETE+ supports rail-to-rail analog signals up to ±15.5V when operated with ±16.5V supplies, or 0V to V+ − 0.5V in single-supply mode. This limit is defined by the absolute maximum rating of (V− − 2V) to (V+ + 2V) on S/D pins. Exceeding these bounds risks forward-biasing internal clamping diodes, increasing leakage and distorting signal fidelity - especially critical in high-precision sensor and audio routing applications using the DG442ETE+.
