Product details
Overview
DG442LEDQ-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a quad single-pole-single-throw (SPST) analog switch with normally open (NO) configuration, designed for precision signal routing in data acquisition and sample-and-hold circuits. It delivers 16 Ω typical on-resistance, 18 ns typical turn-on time, and <8 pC charge injection across full analog swing - enabling low-distortion switching of ±5 V, +12 V, or +3 V signals in instrumentation-grade systems.
For engineers reviewing the DG442LEDQ-GE3 datasheet, DG442LEDQ-GE3 pinout, DG442LEDQ-GE3 application, or DG442LEDQ-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its TSSOP-16 package compatibility, dual-supply operation (±3 V to ±8 V), low leakage (<10 pA typ.), and guaranteed channel-to-channel crosstalk >113 dB - critical for high-fidelity multiplexing and relay replacement in medical and test equipment.
Technical Context
The DG442LEDQ-GE3 implements four independent MOSFET-based SPST switches with complementary control logic: logic high (≥2.4 V) enables conduction, logic low (≤0.8 V) disables. Each channel conducts bidirectionally when on and blocks analog voltages up to supply rails when off, supporting rail-to-rail signal handling without external clamping.
Its architecture integrates low-capacitance design (CD(ON) = 15 pF, CS(OFF) = 5 pF) and matched RDS(on) tracking (ΔRDS(on) ≤ 0.5 Ω typ.) to minimize signal-dependent errors and timing skew across channels - essential for synchronized sampling and programmable-gain amplifier topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance (RDS(on)) | 16 Ω typ. at +12 V single supply - ensures minimal voltage drop and gain error in precision signal paths. |
| Turn-on time (tON) | 18 ns typ. at +12 V - supports ≥25 MHz sampling rates in data acquisition front-ends. |
| Charge injection | 6.6 pC typ. - limits hold-mode voltage step error in sample-and-hold circuits to <1 LSB for 16-bit ADCs. |
| Analog signal range | 0 to +12 V (single supply) or ±5 V (dual supply) - accommodates industrial sensor outputs and audio line-level signals. |
| Off isolation (OIRR) | 68.4 dB at 1 MHz - suppresses crosstalk between active and inactive channels in dense multiplexer layouts. |
| Leakage current (IS(off)) | <1 nA max at +85 °C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and battery-powered metering. |
| Supply range | +3 V to +16 V single supply or ±3 V to ±8 V dual supply - enables direct interface with legacy 5 V logic and modern low-voltage microcontrollers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead TSSOP (JEDEC MS-012, body dimensions 5.00 × 4.40 × 1.20 mm). Pin 1 marked by dot; pin 1 corner located at bottom-left when viewed top-side with marking facing up.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN1) | Digital control input for Channel 1 | Active-high logic: ≥2.4 V enables switch; ≤0.8 V disables. TTL/CMOS compatible. |
| 2 (IN2) | Digital control input for Channel 2 | Independent enable for second SPST path; no internal logic coupling to IN1. |
| 3 (D1) | Drain terminal for Channel 1 | Analog I/O node; bidirectional conduction when switch is on; withstands full supply voltage when off. |
| 4 (D2) | Drain terminal for Channel 2 | Electrically isolated from D1; supports differential or independent signal routing. |
| 5 (S1) | Source terminal for Channel 1 | Paired with D1; forms closed path with ≤16 Ω resistance when IN1 = high. |
| 6 (S2) | Source terminal for Channel 2 | Matches S1 electrical characteristics; enables matched gain/phase response in dual-path designs. |
| 7 (V−) | Negative supply rail | Required for dual-supply operation; tied to GND for single-supply use (0 V reference). |
| 8 (V+) | Positive supply rail | Bias source for internal level shifters; sets maximum analog signal range (V+ to V−). |
| 9 (GND) | Ground reference | Logic and analog common return; must be low-impedance to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 10 (NC) | No-connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per PCB layout best practices. |
| 11 (S4) | Source terminal for Channel 4 | Final analog I/O in quad configuration; matches S1–S3 performance within ΔRDS(on) ≤ 0.5 Ω. |
| 12 (S3) | Source terminal for Channel 3 | Third independent source node; supports 4:1 multiplexing or parallel channel expansion. |
| 13 (D4) | Drain terminal for Channel 4 | Complements S4; completes fourth SPST path with identical CD(ON) = 15 pF and leakage specs. |
| 14 (D3) | Drain terminal for Channel 3 | Matches D1/D2 capacitance and RDS(on); enables consistent bandwidth across all four channels. |
| 15 (IN4) | Digital control input for Channel 4 | Full logic-level compatibility; timing matched to IN1–IN3 within tON/tOFF variation ≤10 ns. |
| 16 (IN3) | Digital control input for Channel 3 | Enables independent gating of third channel; no shared control bus required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad SPST NO configuration | Four independent switches with logic-high activation - simplifies control sequencing in multi-sensor data loggers. |
| Low charge injection (6.6 pC) | Reduces hold-step error to <50 µV in 100 kΩ source impedance sample-and-hold circuits. |
| Bidirectional analog conduction | Eliminates need for signal polarity awareness - supports AC-coupled audio routing and sensor excitation reversal. |
| Rail-to-rail analog range | Operates with signals from V− to V+ - enables direct interfacing with op-amp outputs and DACs without level shifting. |
| TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs | Accepts standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic without external level translators - reduces BOM count in mixed-voltage systems. |
Applications
| Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) | Data Acquisition Systems |
|---|---|

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) (35 Ω typ.), slower tON (45 ns typ.), SOIC-16 only | Limited to lower-speed industrial controls; unsuitable for >10 MSPS sampling | Select when SOIC-16 footprint is mandatory and 12-bit resolution suffices. |
| ADG1419BRUZ | Lower RDS(on) (1.3 Ω typ.), higher supply voltage (±15 V), TSSOP-16 | Supports higher-voltage sensor excitation but requires level-shifting for 3.3 V logic | Choose for ultra-low distortion in precision weigh-scale bridges where cost premium is acceptable. |
Compared with DG442LEDQ-GE3, MAX4618ESE+ trades speed and on-resistance for broader temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C), while ADG1419BRUZ delivers superior analog performance at the cost of logic-level compatibility and price - making DG442LEDQ-GE3 optimal for cost-sensitive, medium-speed instrumentation with 3.3 V/5 V control.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage supported by DG442LEDQ-GE3?
DG442LEDQ-GE3 supports analog signals from V− to V+ across its full operating range: 0 V to +12 V in single-supply mode, or ±5 V in dual-supply mode. Absolute maximum ratings allow V+ to V− up to +18 V, but functional analog range is limited by supply rails - exceeding V+ or V− clamps signals via internal diodes, risking damage if forward current exceeds 30 mA.
Does DG442LEDQ-GE3 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its digital inputs?
No, DG442LEDQ-GE3 does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors. Its digital inputs are TTL/CMOS compatible with defined thresholds: logic high recognized at ≥2.4 V and logic low at ≤0.8 V. Input leakage is <1.5 μA across temperature, so direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs or FPGA outputs is safe and reliable.
How does DG442LEDQ-GE3 differ from DG441LEDQ-GE3?
DG442LEDQ-GE3 is a normally open (NO) quad SPST switch, while DG441LEDQ-GE3 is normally closed (NC). In DG442LEDQ-GE3, channels conduct only when INx = high; in DG441LEDQ-GE3, they conduct when INx = low. Both share identical RDS(on), charge injection, and package - making them functionally complementary for fail-safe or default-state-critical designs like emergency shutdown circuits.
Can DG442LEDQ-GE3 operate from a single +3.3 V supply?
Yes, DG442LEDQ-GE3 operates from +3 V to +16 V single supply. At +3.3 V, RDS(on) increases to 71 Ω typ. and tON extends to 141 ns typ., but it remains fully functional for low-speed applications like sensor multiplexing in battery-powered IoT nodes where power efficiency outweighs speed requirements.
What is the thermal derating behavior of DG442LEDQ-GE3 in TSSOP-16 package?
In its 16-pin TSSOP package, DG442LEDQ-GE3 has a power dissipation limit of 450 mW at +25 °C, derating linearly by 7 mW/°C above +75 °C. This means usable power drops to ~380 mW at +85 °C ambient - sufficient for typical analog switch operation (<100 μW static consumption) but constrains simultaneous high-current channel conduction.
