Product details
Overview
DG444DY-T from Intersil is a monolithic quad SPST CMOS analog switch with TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs, 85Ω max ON resistance, <250ns turn-on time, and ±20V analog signal handling capability. It serves as a drop-in replacement for DG211/DG212 in precision sample-and-hold, audio routing, and data acquisition circuits operating across -40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the DG444DY-T datasheet, DG444DY-T pinout, DG444DY-T application, or DG444DY-T equivalent, key selection factors include its bilateral AC signal support, low 1pC charge injection, 60dB OFF isolation at 1MHz, and compatibility with single (12V) or split (±15V) supplies - critical for battery-operated and hi-rel systems requiring stable analog switching performance.
Technical Context
The DG444DY-T implements four independent, bidirectional SPST switches using a high-voltage silicon-gate CMOS process with epitaxial layer latch-up protection. Its logic control is active-low: INx = ≤0.8V enables conduction (ON), while ≥2.4V disables (OFF).
It supports dual supply operation (V+ to V− up to 44V) and single-supply mode (V− = GND), with analog signal range spanning -15V to +15V under ±15V supplies or 0–12V under 12V single supply. VL pin sets logic reference independently from power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ON Resistance (max) | 85Ω at ±15V supplies - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision gain-switching amplifier designs |
| Turn-On Time (tON, max) | 250ns at RL=1kΩ, CL=35pF - enables reliable switching in 1MSPS data acquisition systems |
| Charge Injection (typ) | -1pC - reduces hold-mode voltage step error in sample-and-hold circuits without additional correction circuitry |
| OFF Isolation (min) | 60dB at 1MHz - prevents crosstalk between active and inactive channels in multi-signal routing applications |
| Analog Signal Range | ±15V (dual supply) or 0–12V (single supply) - supports industrial sensor interfaces and audio line-level signal handling |
| Supply Voltage Range | V+ to V− ≤ 44V - allows control of ±20V signals with margin, meeting MIL-STD-883 Class B hi-rel requirements |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL and CMOS inputs - simplifies interface with legacy microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead SOIC (M16.15), body width 3.90–4.00 mm, RoHS-compliant Pb-free plus anneal finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8, 9, 16 (IN1–IN4) | Logic Control Input | Active-low enable: ≤0.8V = ON state; ≥2.4V = OFF state - matches standard TTL thresholds without external pull-ups |
| 2, 7, 10, 15 (D1–D4) | Drain (Output) Terminal | Bidirectional analog output node - interchangeable with source for AC-coupled signals; connects to load or next stage |
| 3, 6, 11, 14 (S1–S4) | Source (Input) Terminal | Bidirectional analog input node - accepts ±15V signals under dual supply; symmetric RDS(ON) ensures matched channel behavior |
| 4 (V−) | Negative Supply Rail | Reference for negative analog swing and substrate bias - must be decoupled locally to minimize noise coupling |
| 5 (GND) | Logic Ground | Common return for digital inputs and VL reference - separate from analog power grounds to avoid digital noise injection |
| 12 (VL) | Logic Reference Voltage | Independent 5V logic threshold reference - isolates switching logic from V+/V− rail fluctuations during dynamic load changes |
| 13 (V+) | Positive Supply Rail | Substrate connection and positive analog rail - requires low-ESR ceramic decoupling within 5mm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Drop-in DG211/DG212 replacement | Identical pinout and function with improved specs - enables direct upgrade in legacy designs without PCB revision |
| Bilateral analog switching | Matched RDS(ON) and capacitance in both directions - preserves signal integrity for AC-coupled audio and sensor signals |
| Low charge injection (-1pC typ) | Minimizes hold-step error in sample-and-hold circuits - eliminates need for external zeroing or calibration in 12-bit systems |
| Latch-up immunity | Epitaxial layer prevents SCR triggering - ensures robust operation in noisy industrial environments with transient surges |
| Pb-free plus anneal packaging | 100% matte tin termination compatible with SnPb and Pb-free reflow - meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL3 requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4617ESE+ | Higher 120Ω RDS(ON), slower 350ns tON, no VL pin - logic tied to V+; requires external level translation for mixed-supply systems | Optimized for low-voltage (2.7–5.5V) portable applications; lacks ±20V signal handling | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed and voltage range; verify logic interface compatibility with host controller |
| ADG1414BRUZ | Lower 1.5Ω RDS(ON), faster 120ns tON, but only ±15V max supply; uses CMOS-compatible logic without VL pin | Targeted at high-precision instrumentation where ON-resistance matching and THD matter more than wide supply range | Choose for 16-bit+ data acquisition where <0.001% gain error is mandatory; confirm thermal derating at full ±15V operation |
Compared with MAX4617ESE+ and ADG1414BRUZ, the DG444DY-T uniquely balances wide ±20V analog range, 250ns switching, and drop-in DG211 compatibility - making it optimal for upgrading legacy industrial and aerospace systems where board space and qualification cycles constrain redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage the DG444DY-T can handle?
The DG444DY-T supports analog signals up to ±15V when operated with ±15V supplies, and 0–12V with a 12V single supply. Its absolute maximum V+ to V− rating is 44V, enabling safe control of ±20V signals with appropriate headroom - confirmed in Absolute Maximum Ratings (Page 3) and Electrical Specifications (Page 3–4) of FN3586 Rev 10.00.
Is the DG444DY-T pin-compatible with the DG211 series?
Yes, the DG444DY-T is a documented drop-in replacement for the DG211 and DG212 series, sharing identical 16-lead SOIC pinout and functional behavior. Key improvements - including lower ON resistance (<85Ω vs. >100Ω), faster switching (<250ns vs. >300ns), and reduced charge injection - are achieved without altering PCB layout, as stated on Page 1 of FN3586 Rev 10.00.
Does the DG444DY-T require a separate logic supply voltage?
No, the DG444DY-T uses the VL pin to accept an independent 5V logic reference, decoupling digital input thresholds from V+ and V− rails. This allows clean TTL/CMOS-compatible switching even when analog supplies are asymmetric or noisy - a design feature explicitly detailed in Pin Descriptions (Page 2) and Functional Diagrams (Page 2) of the DG444DY-T datasheet FN3586.
What is the typical charge injection value for the DG444DY-T, and why does it matter?
The DG444DY-T exhibits -1pC typical charge injection (Page 3, Electrical Specifications), a critical parameter for sample-and-hold and multiplexer applications. Low charge injection minimizes voltage step errors on hold capacitors, directly improving DC accuracy and reducing need for calibration - especially vital in 12-bit+ data acquisition systems where even 1pC can cause >1 LSB error at 1nF hold capacitance.
Can the DG444DY-T operate from a single 12V supply?
Yes, the DG444DY-T supports single-supply operation with V− = GND and V+ = 12V, delivering 0–12V analog signal range and 450ns max tON. This mode is fully characterized in the "Electrical Specifications (Single Supply)" table (Page 4 of FN3586), confirming functionality for battery-powered and low-voltage industrial systems without requiring negative rails.
