Product details
Overview
DG444DY-T1 from Vishay Siliconix is a quad SPST normally-closed CMOS analog switch IC designed for precision signal routing in mixed-signal systems. It delivers 50 Ω typical on-resistance, 120 ns typical turn-on time, ±15 V dual-supply operation, and 80 pA maximum off-leakage - enabling low-distortion audio switching, sample-and-hold circuits, and battery-powered data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the DG444DY-T1 datasheet, DG444DY-T1 pinout, DG444DY-T1 application, or DG444DY-T1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its NC (normally closed) logic behavior, SOIC-16 package compatibility, dual/unipolar supply flexibility (+5 V to +36 V single or ±5 V to ±20 V dual), and charge injection of ≤1 pC for precision hold-step integrity.
Technical Context
The DG444DY-T1 implements four independent bidirectional analog switches fabricated on Vishay's high-voltage silicon-gate process, with epitaxial layer latchup protection. Each channel supports rail-to-rail analog signal ranges up to ±15 V under dual supplies and exhibits symmetrical on-resistance regardless of signal direction.
Its TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs (logic "0" ≤ 0.8 V, "1" ≥ 2.4 V) interface directly with microcontrollers and FPGAs, while the VL pin enables independent logic-level translation - critical for interfacing 3.3 V or 5 V control logic with higher analog supply rails.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4617ESE+ | Quad SPST NO (normally open); 60 Ω RDS(on); 150 ns tON; requires external pull-down for NC behavior | Not drop-in: requires logic inversion and external biasing to emulate DG444DY-T1's NC state | Select when NO function is acceptable and layout allows added passive components |
| ADG1414BRUZ | Quad SPST NO; 1.8 Ω RDS(on); 15 V max supply; no V− pin - single-supply only | Cannot replace DG444DY-T1 in ±15 V dual-rail or NC-required systems without redesign | Prefer for ultra-low on-resistance in single-supply 12 V systems where NC is not mandatory |
Compared with MAX4617ESE+ and ADG1414BRUZ, the DG444DY-T1 uniquely provides true NC operation with ±20 V dual-supply support and 50 Ω on-resistance in a standard SOIC-16 package - eliminating need for external logic inversion or supply rail adaptation in legacy industrial and test equipment designs.

FAQ
What is the logic behavior of DG444DY-T1 versus DG445DY-T1?
The DG444DY-T1 is a normally closed (NC) analog switch: each channel conducts when its INx input is logic low (≤0.8 V) and opens when high (≥2.4 V). In contrast, DG445DY-T1 is normally open (NO), conducting only when INx is high. This fundamental difference means DG444DY-T1 maintains signal continuity during power-down or logic reset - a critical safety feature in audio mute paths and sensor monitoring circuits where default connection is required.
Can DG444DY-T1 operate from a single +12 V supply?
Yes, DG444DY-T1 supports unipolar operation from +5 V to +36 V. At +12 V, it delivers 100 Ω typical on-resistance and 300 ns typical turn-on time - verified per Vishay's S13-2503 Rev. H specifications. The analog signal range becomes 0 V to +12 V, and the VL pin must be tied to the same 5 V logic supply used for control inputs to ensure proper threshold referencing.
How does DG444DY-T1 minimize pedestal error in sample-and-hold applications?
DG444DY-T1 minimizes pedestal error primarily through ultra-low charge injection (−1 pC typical) and sub-0.01 nA off-leakage. When the switch opens during hold phase, injected charge displaces hold capacitor voltage by ΔV = Q/CHOLD; with a 1 nF capacitor, −1 pC yields only −1 mV error. Its epitaxial construction also suppresses substrate coupling that could induce additional settling errors in precision timing paths.
Is DG444DY-T1 pin-compatible with older DG211/DG212 sockets?
Yes, DG444DY-T1 is a direct upgrade for DG211 and DG212 sockets in SOIC-16 footprint. It matches their pinout exactly - including identical IN/S/D/V+/V−/GND/VL assignments - while improving on-resistance (50 Ω vs. 90 Ω), speed (120 ns vs. 250 ns), and leakage (0.01 nA vs. 1 nA). No PCB changes are required for drop-in replacement in existing designs.
What is the maximum allowable analog signal voltage when using ±15 V supplies with DG444DY-T1?
With ±15 V supplies, DG444DY-T1 supports analog signals from −15 V to +15 V - full rail-to-rail operation - as confirmed in the "Analog Signal Range" specification (VANALOG = −15 V to +15 V, typ.). Signals exceeding these rails are clamped by internal diodes; forward current must be limited to ≤30 mA per diode to avoid damage, per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
