Product details
Overview
DG442LEDY-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 instrumentation systems. It delivers 16 Ω typical on-resistance, 18 ns typical turn-on time, and <8 pC charge injection over full signal swing - enabling low-distortion switching of ±5 V, +12 V, or +3 V analog signals in sample-and-hold and ADC input circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DG442LEDY-GE3 datasheet, DG442LEDY-GE3 pinout, DG442LEDY-GE3 application, or DG442LEDY-GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified on-resistance matching across channels (≤0.5 Ω), guaranteed off-isolation (>68 dB at 1 MHz), dual-supply compatibility (±3 V to ±8 V), and SOIC-16 package thermal derating (12 mW/°C above 75 °C).
Technical Context
The DG442LEDY-GE3 implements four independent bidirectional analog switches controlled by TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs. Each channel conducts equally well in both directions when enabled and blocks analog voltages up to the supply rails when disabled. Its architecture minimizes charge injection via matched transistor pairs and low-parasitic layout, critical for maintaining accuracy in high-resolution sampling.
It supports single-supply operation from 3 V to 16 V and dual-supply operation from ±3 V to ±8 V. The device features internal clamping diodes that limit analog signal excursions beyond V+ or V−, requiring external current limiting per datasheet Note a. Logic thresholds are fixed at ≤0.8 V (low) and ≥2.4 V (high) across all supply conditions.
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 signal attenuation in precision gain-setting or sensor interface paths. |
| Turn-on time (tON) | 18 ns typ. at +12 V - enables fast multiplexing in high-speed data acquisition without introducing timing skew between channels. |
| Charge injection | <8 pC over full analog range - prevents output voltage glitches in sample-and-hold circuits and maintains DC accuracy in programmable-gain amplifiers. |
| Off-isolation (OIRR) | 68.4 dB at 1 MHz - suppresses crosstalk between active and inactive channels in multi-signal routing applications like audio/video switching. |
| Analog signal range | 0 to +12 V (single supply) or ±5 V (dual supply) - supports direct interfacing with industrial sensors, medical front-ends, and battery-powered instrumentation. |
| Leakage current (IS(off)) | <1 nA max at room temperature - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance measurement nodes such as pH probes or thermocouple amplifiers. |
| Supply voltage range | +3 V to +16 V single or ±3 V to ±8 V dual - allows flexible integration into mixed-voltage systems without level-shifting circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin narrow-body SOIC (SO-16 AS), JEDEC MS-012 compliant, body dimensions 9.8–10.0 mm × 3.8–4.0 mm, lead pitch 1.27 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 (IN1–IN4) | Digital control input | Active-high logic inputs; drive corresponding switch ON when ≥2.4 V (NO function). |
| 5, 6, 12, 13 (S1–S4) | Source terminal | Analog input/output node; bidirectional conduction path when switch is ON. |
| 7, 8, 11, 10 (D1–D4) | Drain terminal | Analog input/output node; electrically identical to source; no polarity dependence. |
| 9 (GND) | Ground reference | Logic ground return; must be connected to system ground for proper threshold referencing. |
| 14 (V−) | Negative supply rail | Required for dual-supply operation; tied to 0 V in single-supply mode. |
| 15 (V+) | Positive supply rail | Primary power rail; sets analog signal ceiling and logic high threshold. |
| 16 (NC) | No connect | Internally unconnected pin; must remain floating or grounded per PCB layout best practices. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional analog conduction | Enables symmetric signal routing in AC-coupled or differential topologies without polarity constraints. |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | Eliminates need for external level shifters when interfacing with microcontrollers or FPGAs operating at 3.3 V or 5 V. |
| Low parasitic capacitance | CD(ON) = 15 pF and CS(OFF) = 5 pF - minimizes bandwidth degradation and settling time in RF-adjacent signal paths. |
| Guaranteed on-resistance match | ΔRDS(on) ≤ 0.5 Ω - ensures consistent gain scaling across multiple switched resistor networks in programmable amplifiers. |
| Clamped analog inputs | Internal ESD diodes protect against overvoltage transients up to ±0.3 V beyond rails, reducing need for external protection components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1412BRUZ | Higher on-resistance (1.8 Ω typ. at ±15 V), lower charge injection (0.2 pC), 16-pin TSSOP only | Better suited for ultra-low-distortion applications but requires higher supply voltage and lacks SOIC packaging | Select ADG1412BRUZ only if sub-pC charge injection is mandatory and ±15 V supplies are available. |
| MAX4617ESA+ | Lower on-resistance (6 Ω typ. at +5 V), slower switching (75 ns tON), SOIC-8 package (dual-channel only) | Requires two devices for quad functionality; better for cost-sensitive, low-voltage (<5 V) portable designs | Choose MAX4617ESA+ when board space permits dual SOIC-8 placement and 5 V operation suffices. |
Compared with DG442LEDY-GE3, ADG1412BRUZ offers superior charge injection performance but demands higher voltage headroom and lacks SOIC-16 availability, while MAX4617ESA+ reduces on-resistance at the expense of speed and channel count - making DG442LEDY-GE3 optimal for balanced performance in industrial and medical SOIC-based designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the DG442LEDY-GE3?
The DG442LEDY-GE3 supports analog signals from 0 V to +12 V under single-supply operation and ±5 V under dual-supply operation. When operated at ±5 V, the full analog range extends from –5 V to +5 V. Exceeding these limits triggers internal clamping diodes, requiring external current limiting per datasheet Note a to avoid damage.
Does the DG442LEDY-GE3 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its digital control inputs?
No, the DG442LEDY-GE3 does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors. Its digital inputs are TTL/CMOS compatible with defined thresholds (≤0.8 V for logic low, ≥2.4 V for logic high) and exhibit low input current (±1.5 μA max). Direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs or FPGA I/O banks is sufficient for reliable switching control of the DG442LEDY-GE3.
How does the DG442LEDY-GE3 differ from the DG441LE variant?
The DG442LEDY-GE3 is a normally open (NO) quad SPST switch, while the DG441LE is normally closed (NC). In the DG442LEDY-GE3, all four switches remain open (non-conductive) until a logic high is applied to their respective INx pins. This functional difference determines fail-safe behavior in safety-critical signal paths - DG442LEDY-GE3 defaults to isolation, whereas DG441LE defaults to continuity.
Can the DG442LEDY-GE3 operate reliably at 3 V single supply?
Yes, the DG442LEDY-GE3 is fully specified for 3 V single-supply operation, with RDS(on) = 71 Ω typ. and tON = 141 ns typ. at room temperature. While on-resistance increases and switching slows versus +12 V operation, the device maintains guaranteed leakage (<1 nA) and charge injection (2 pC typ.), making it viable for low-power portable instrumentation where supply voltage headroom is constrained.
Is thermal derating required for the DG442LEDY-GE3 in continuous operation?
Yes, thermal derating is required above 75 °C ambient. For the SOIC-16 package (DG442LEDY-GE3), power dissipation must be reduced by 12 mW per °C above 75 °C, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings. This ensures junction temperature remains within safe limits during sustained operation in industrial enclosures or high-density PCB layouts.
