Product details
Overview
DG444DY-T1-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a quad SPST normally-closed (NC) analog switch IC designed for precision signal routing in instrumentation and data acquisition systems. It delivers 50 Ω on-resistance, 120 ns typical turn-on time (±15 V), and ±15 V analog signal range under dual supply, enabling low-error switching in sample-and-hold and audio routing applications.
For engineers reviewing the DG444DY-T1-E3 datasheet, DG444DY-T1-E3 pinout, DG444DY-T1-E3 application, or DG444DY-T1-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its NC configuration, 85 °C operating temperature range, SOIC-16 narrow-body package, and compatibility with ±5 V to ±20 V or +5 V to +36 V supplies.
Technical Context
The DG444DY-T1-E3 implements four independent bidirectional SPST switches fabricated using Vishay's high-voltage silicon-gate process, featuring epitaxial latchup protection. Each channel exhibits symmetrical conduction when on and blocks signals up to rail voltage when off.
Its TTL/CMOS-compatible digital inputs accept logic thresholds of ≤0.8 V (low) and ≥2.4 V (high) with <±0.01 nA input current. Charge injection is minimized to −1 pC (typ.), critical for precision sample-and-hold circuits where pedestal error must be suppressed.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Configuration | Quad SPST, normally closed (NC) - all four channels default closed at power-up or logic low |
| On-Resistance | 50 Ω (typ.) at ±15 V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision amplifier gain-switching |
| Turn-On Time | 120 ns (typ.) at ±15 V - supports >1 MHz sampling rates in data acquisition front-ends |
| Analog Signal Range | ±15 V (dual supply) or 0–12 V (single supply) - accommodates industrial sensor outputs and audio line-level signals |
| Charge Injection | −1 pC (typ.) - limits hold-mode voltage step error to <1 mV in 1 nF sample capacitors |
| Off-Leakage Current | ±0.01 nA (typ.) at ±15.5 V - preserves capacitor charge integrity over seconds in sample-and-hold operation |
| Supply Range | Single: +5 V to +36 V; Dual: ±5 V to ±20 V - enables use across battery-powered and industrial rail systems |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin narrow-body SOIC (JEDEC MS-012, 3.9 mm width), RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel (T1-E3 suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 | Digital control inputs | Active-low logic: logic "0" (≤0.8 V) closes switch; logic "1" (≥2.4 V) opens switch |
| S1–S4 | Source terminals | Bidirectional analog inputs/outputs; connect to signal source or load depending on circuit topology |
| D1–D4 | Drain terminals | Bidirectional analog inputs/outputs; paired with Sx to form NC switch path |
| V+ | Positive analog supply | Supports up to +36 V single or +20 V dual; powers internal switch core and level shifters |
| V− | Negative analog supply | Supports down to −20 V; required for bipolar signal handling and rail-to-rail analog range |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Common return for V− and signal paths; separate from logic ground unless tied externally |
| VL | Logic supply voltage | Accepts 5 V (typ.) for TTL/CMOS interface; decoupling required for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Normally closed (NC) architecture | Ensures fail-safe signal continuity during power loss or logic fault - critical in medical sensor monitoring paths |
| Low 50 Ω on-resistance matching | Maximizes channel-to-channel gain consistency in programmable-gain amplifiers using resistor networks |
| −1 pC charge injection | Enables sub-12-bit accuracy in 1 µs sample-and-hold cycles without external pedestal correction |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4674ESE+ | Quad SPST NO, 60 Ω RDS(on), 150 ns tON, +2.7 V to +36 V single supply only | Lacks dual-supply support; unsuitable for ±10 V sensor interfaces | Select when only single-supply operation and NO logic are acceptable |
| ADG1414BRUZ | Quad SPST NO, 1.8 Ω RDS(on), 125 ns tON, ±15 V dual supply, but requires logic high to close | NO configuration requires redesign of control logic; lower on-resistance increases cost | Choose for ultra-low on-resistance needs where NC behavior can be implemented externally |
Compared with DG444DY-T1-E3, MAX4674ESE+ offers simpler supply architecture but no NC function or bipolar support, while ADG1414BRUZ provides superior on-resistance yet mandates logic inversion and lacks inherent fail-safe closure - making DG444DY-T1-E3 uniquely suited for safety-critical analog signal paths requiring default continuity.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage supported by DG444DY-T1-E3?
DG444DY-T1-E3 supports analog signals from V− to V+, with absolute maximum ratings of V+ to V− = 44 V. Under dual-supply operation at ±15 V, it reliably passes ±15 V signals; under single supply at +12 V, it handles 0–12 V. Exceeding these voltages risks clamping by internal diodes or permanent damage.
Does DG444DY-T1-E3 require a separate logic supply voltage?
Yes, DG444DY-T1-E3 requires VL (logic supply) pin to be connected to 5 V for proper TTL/CMOS compatibility. The VL pin powers internal level shifters and must be decoupled with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor near the device. It is not internally regulated from V+ or V−.
How does the normally closed (NC) behavior of DG444DY-T1-E3 affect system safety?
The NC configuration of DG444DY-T1-E3 ensures analog continuity during power loss, reset, or logic fault - a critical safety feature in medical monitoring and industrial sensor loops. When INx is un-driven or low, the switch remains closed; only a logic high opens it, providing inherent fail-safe signal path integrity.
Can DG444DY-T1-E3 operate with asymmetric dual supplies, such as +12 V and −5 V?
Yes, DG444DY-T1-E3 supports asymmetric dual supplies within its absolute maximum ratings: V+ to V− ≤ 44 V, and |V−| ≤ 25 V referenced to GND. For example, +12 V and −5 V (17 V total) is valid, enabling custom rail configurations for mixed-signal systems without violating internal junction limits.
What is the thermal derating specification for DG444DY-T1-E3 in SOIC-16 package?
DG444DY-T1-E3 in narrow SOIC-16 has a power dissipation limit of 640 mW at TA ≤ 75 °C. Above 75 °C, it must be derated at 8 mW/°C - meaning maximum allowable power drops to 560 mW at 85 °C ambient. This ensures junction temperature stays within safe operating limits under continuous load.
