Product details
Overview
DG444DY+T from Maxim Integrated is a quad, normally closed (NC), single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch IC designed for precision signal routing in bipolar and 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 (±15V), and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs. It is used in test equipment, audio signal routing, and military radios requiring low distortion and high channel-to-channel matching.
For engineers reviewing the DG444DY+T datasheet, DG444DY+T pinout, DG444DY+T application, or DG444DY+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance flatness (9Ω max), bipolar supply operation (±4.5V to ±20V), low power consumption (35µW max), ESD tolerance (2000V min), and -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating.
Technical Context
The DG444DY+T implements four independent NC SPST switches fabricated using a 44V silicon-gate process, enabling robust operation across wide supply ranges. Its architecture guarantees matched on-resistance (4Ω max) and flat on-resistance (9Ω max) over the full analog signal range under bipolar supplies - critical for precision multiplexing and sample-and-hold circuits.
Switching is controlled by active-low logic inputs referenced to VL (5V), with separate V+ and V− rails defining the analog signal swing. The device supports unbalanced supplies (e.g., +24V/−5V), maintains rail-to-rail signal integrity, and exhibits minimal charge injection (10pC max) - essential for low-glitch data acquisition and battery-operated systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RDS(ON)) | 85Ω max at ±15V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision analog paths |
| On-Resistance Matching | 4Ω max between channels - enables accurate differential signal switching without channel skew |
| Charge Injection | 10pC max - limits voltage glitch in sample-and-hold and ADC front-end applications |
| Off-Leakage Current | <5nA at +85°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces |
| Analog Signal Range | ±15V - supports full rail-to-rail operation with bipolar supplies, ideal for industrial instrumentation |
| Supply Range | Bipolar ±4.5V to ±20V or single +10V to +30V - provides design flexibility across legacy and modern power architectures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG444BRZ | Quad NC SPST; 75Ω max RDS(ON); −40°C to +85°C; SOIC-16; 10pC charge injection | Lower on-resistance but higher off-leakage (>10nA at +85°C); no guaranteed RFLAT(ON) | Preferred where lower RON outweighs leakage sensitivity; requires verification of flatness in signal-path-critical designs |

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the DG444DY+T?
The DG444DY+T supports an analog signal range of ±15V when operated from bipolar ±15V supplies. This rail-to-rail capability allows full-swing signal handling without clipping, making it suitable for industrial instrumentation and professional audio interfaces. Operation outside this range violates absolute maximum ratings and risks permanent damage.
Is the DG444DY+T pin-compatible with the original DG444 series?
Yes, the DG444DY+T is a drop-in replacement for legacy DG444 variants in the same 16-pin narrow SO package. Pin functions, layout, and electrical behavior are identical - including IN1–IN4, D1–D4, S1–S4, V+, V−, GND, and VL assignments. No PCB changes are required when upgrading to the improved DG444DY+T.
Does the DG444DY+T require external pull-up resistors on its logic inputs?
No, the DG444DY+T does not require external pull-up resistors. Its logic inputs (IN1–IN4) are TTL/CMOS-compatible with defined thresholds (VINL ≤ 0.8V, VINH ≥ 2.4V) and exhibit low input current (±0.5µA max). Driving directly from microcontroller GPIO or FPGA outputs is fully supported without additional biasing components.
What is the typical turn-on time for the DG444DY+T under ±15V supplies?
Under ±15V bipolar supplies, the DG444DY+T has a typical turn-on time (tON) of 150ns and a maximum of 250ns. This specification is measured with CL = 5pF and RL = 50Ω, and applies across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), ensuring predictable timing in real-time signal routing applications.
Can the DG444DY+T operate with unbalanced supplies such as +24V and −5V?
Yes, the DG444DY+T supports unbalanced supplies like +24V and −5V, provided the differential voltage (V+ − V−) does not exceed 44V and each rail stays within absolute maximum ratings. This flexibility enables integration into legacy systems with asymmetric power domains while maintaining full analog signal range and switching performance.
