Product details
Overview
DG442LDQ-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a precision monolithic quad SPST low-voltage CMOS analog switch with break-before-make switching action, 20 ns turn-on time, 12 ns turn-off time, and 17 Ω on-resistance - designed for audio/video signal routing in battery-powered systems and precision data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the DG442LDQ-E3 datasheet, DG442LDQ-E3 pinout, DG442LDQ-E3 application, or DG442LDQ-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include single/dual supply operation (2.7–12 V or ±3–±6 V), 0.25 nA leakage, 2000 V ESD protection, and TSSOP-16 package compatibility with industry-standard layout footprints.
Technical Context
The DG442LDQ-E3 implements complementary CMOS switch architecture with BiCMOS fabrication, enabling flat RDS(on) over full analog signal range and minimal charge injection (5 pC). Its control logic is inverted relative to DG441L: logic high disables all switches, logic low enables them.
It supports rail-to-rail analog signal handling (0–12 V single supply or ±5 V dual supply), features TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.4 V), and delivers -50 dB off-isolation and -95 dB crosstalk at 50 MHz - critical for high-fidelity signal integrity in multiplexed measurement paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance | 17 Ω typical at 12 V supply - ensures minimal signal attenuation and thermal drift in precision gain-setting and sensor interface circuits |
| Turn-on / Turn-off time | 20 ns / 12 ns - enables fast channel switching in automated test equipment without timing-induced settling errors |
| Analog signal range | 0 to 12 V (single supply) or ±5 V (dual supply) - supports full-rail operation in mixed-signal systems without level-shifting |
| Leakage current | 0.25 nA max - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sample-and-hold and microamp-level sensor front-ends |
| ESD protection | 2000 V HBM - reduces need for external transient suppression in handheld and field-deployable instrumentation |
| Off-isolation | -50 dB at 50 MHz - prevents signal bleed between channels in RF-adjacent audio routing applications |
| Charge injection | 5 pC - limits voltage glitch amplitude in precision integrators and switched-capacitor filters |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin TSSOP (JEDEC MS-012, 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm × 1.2 mm height), lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 (IN1–IN4) | Digital control input | Active-low logic: low = switch closed; compatible with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers without level shifters |
| 5, 6, 13, 14 (S1–S4) | Switch source terminal | Common analog node per channel; connects to signal source in SPST configuration |
| 7, 8, 11, 12 (D1–D4) | Switch drain terminal | Output node per channel; routed to ADC input, amplifier stage, or signal path |
| 9 (GND) | Analog/digital ground reference | Single shared ground for both analog and digital sections - requires star grounding for optimal noise rejection |
| 10 (NC) | No-connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or via allowed |
| 15 (V−) | Negative supply rail | Required for dual-supply operation; tied to GND in single-supply mode |
| 16 (V+) | Positive supply rail | Supplies internal bias and switch driver; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) mandatory adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Break-before-make switching | Prevents momentary shorting between channels during state transition - essential for avoiding signal transients in multiplexed sensor arrays |
| Rail-to-rail analog capability | Supports signals from V− to V+ without clipping - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in ±5 V systems |
| Low on-resistance match | ΔRDS(on) ≤ 0.5 Ω - maintains channel-to-channel gain consistency in programmable-gain amplifiers |
| High-speed switching | tON/tOFF ≤ 20/12 ns - meets timing budgets in 10 MSPS data acquisition systems with <1 LSB settling error |
| Low charge injection | 5 pC - restricts hold-mode voltage step to <50 µV in 10 nF sample capacitors, preserving 16-bit resolution |
Applications
| Precision Data Acquisition | Audio Signal Routing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Multiplexing thermocouple, RTD, and strain gauge inputs into a 24-bit sigma-delta ADC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad SPST switch isolating each sensor path before the instrumentation amplifier; controlled by FPGA GPIO with 100 ns setup/hold margin.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Switching precision metal-film resistors into op-amp feedback loop; controlled by isolated SPI interface. Use Value: ΔRDS(on) ≤ 0.5 Ω ensures gain error <0.05% across all ranges; low leakage avoids DC offset accumulation in AC-coupled biopotential paths. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4618ESE+ | Higher RDS(on) (45 Ω typ), slower tON (40 ns), but offers fault protection and overvoltage tolerance up to ±20 V | Suitable for industrial PLC I/O modules where input overvoltage risk exists, not for low-distortion audio | Select when robustness against field wiring faults outweighs speed and on-resistance requirements |
| ADG1412BRUZ | Lower RDS(on) (1.3 Ω typ), higher supply voltage (up to ±15 V), but larger 16-lead TSSOP (5 mm × 4.4 mm) and higher cost | Preferred for high-precision laboratory instruments requiring sub-0.1% gain matching and wide dynamic range | Choose when ultra-low on-resistance and temperature stability are critical, and board space allows larger footprint |
Compared with MAX4618ESE+ and ADG1412BRUZ, the DG442LDQ-E3 provides optimal balance of speed, on-resistance, and supply flexibility for portable and cost-sensitive precision signal routing - especially where 3–12 V operation and compact TSSOP-16 layout are design constraints.

FAQ
What supply voltage ranges does the DG442LDQ-E3 support?
The DG442LDQ-E3 operates from 2.7 V to 12 V single supply (with V− tied to GND) or ±3 V to ±6 V dual supply. At 12 V, RDS(on) is 17 Ω typical; at ±5 V, it is 20 Ω typical. The device guarantees full functionality across its specified temperature range (-40 °C to +85 °C) under these conditions. DG442LDQ-E3 maintains rail-to-rail analog signal handling within these supply boundaries.
Is the DG442LDQ-E3 pin-compatible with the standard DG442?
Yes, the DG442LDQ-E3 is pin-for-pin compatible with the industry-standard DG442 family and its low-voltage companion DG442L. It shares identical pinout, package dimensions (TSSOP-16), and functional block diagram. The "L" suffix denotes improved performance including lower on-resistance and faster switching versus legacy DG442 variants. DG442LDQ-E3 retains the same truth table and control logic polarity.
What is the maximum analog signal frequency supported by the DG442LDQ-E3?
The DG442LDQ-E3 maintains -3 dB insertion loss at 280 MHz under 12 V single-supply conditions, with -50 dB off-isolation and -95 dB crosstalk measured at 50 MHz. Its bandwidth is limited by channel capacitance (CD(on) = 15 pF, CS(off)/CD(off) ≈ 5–6 pF) and RDS(on). For high-fidelity audio (20 Hz–20 kHz) and video baseband (up to ~5 MHz), DG442LDQ-E3 introduces negligible phase or amplitude distortion.
Does the DG442LDQ-E3 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its digital inputs?
No, the DG442LDQ-E3 has TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs with guaranteed switching thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.4 V) and low input current (<1.5 µA). It interfaces directly with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers, FPGAs, and logic devices without external biasing. DG442LDQ-E3 input structure includes internal ESD protection diodes referenced to V+ and GND, making external resistors unnecessary for normal operation.
How does the DG442LDQ-E3 handle analog signals exceeding the supply rails?
The DG442LDQ-E3 includes internal clamping diodes that limit analog signals on Sx or Dx pins to V+ + 0.3 V and V− − 0.3 V. Exceeding these limits risks forward-biasing the diodes and exceeding the absolute maximum current rating (30 mA continuous). To protect against overvoltage, external series resistors must be used to limit diode current - DG442LDQ-E3 does not provide fault protection beyond this intrinsic clamping behavior.
