Product details
Overview
DG445BDJ from Vishay Siliconix is a quad SPST analog switch IC designed for bidirectional signal routing in precision analog systems. It features 45 Ω typical on-resistance, 120 ns typical turn-on time (with unipolar 12 V supply), and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic control. The device operates with dual ±15 V or single 12 V supplies and is used in sample-and-hold circuits where low charge injection (4 pC) minimizes pedestal error.
For engineers reviewing the DG445BDJ datasheet, DG445BDJ pinout, DG445BDJ application, or DG445BDJ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed off-isolation (–90 dB at 100 kHz), channel-to-channel crosstalk (–95 dB), and operation across –40 °C to +85 °C in 16-pin plastic DIP packaging.
Technical Context
The DG445BDJ implements four independent SPST switches with complementary logic behavior versus DG444B: logic high enables conduction (ON), logic low disables (OFF). Each switch conducts equally well in both directions when ON and blocks analog signals up to ±15 V when OFF.
It uses Vishay Siliconix's high-voltage silicon-gate process with an epitaxial layer to prevent latchup. Charge injection is minimized at the drain terminal-critical for accurate sampling in precision data acquisition systems using external hold capacitors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance | 45 Ω typ. (±15 V supplies); ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision amplifier gain-switching networks. |
| Turn-On Time | 120 ns typ. (12 V unipolar supply); supports >1 MHz switching rates in automated test equipment scan paths. |
| Charge Injection | 4 pC max. (unipolar 12 V); limits voltage step error on 1 nF hold capacitors to <4 mV-enabling 12-bit+ sample-and-hold accuracy. |
| Off Isolation | –90 dB at 100 kHz; suppresses coupling between active and inactive channels in multi-channel audio routing. |
| Crosstalk | –95 dB (channel-to-channel); maintains signal integrity in dense PCB layouts with shared ground planes. |
| Analog Signal Range | ±15 V (dual supply) or 0–12 V (single supply); accommodates industrial sensor outputs and medical front-end amplifiers. |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL/CMOS inputs (0.8 V low / 2.4 V high); interfaces directly with FPGA I/O banks and microcontroller GPIO without level shifters. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin plastic DIP (JEDEC MS-012), 0.300" wide body, lead pitch 0.100", RoHS-compliant (DG445BDJ-E3 variant available).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 15, 16 | IN1–IN4 (digital control inputs) | Active-high logic inputs; INx = HIGH enables corresponding switch; inverted truth table vs. DG444B. |
| 3, 4, 13, 14 | D1–D4 (drain terminals) | Analog output nodes; low-capacitance (5 pF off) and low charge injection enable clean signal routing to ADCs or buffers. |
| 5, 6, 11, 12 | S1–S4 (source terminals) | Analog input nodes; symmetrical conduction allows bidirectional signal flow (e.g., sensor ↔ amplifier). |
| 7 | V− | Negative supply rail; must be ≥ –15 V; clamps analog inputs exceeding V− via internal diodes (max 30 mA forward current). |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply rail; must be ≤ +15 V; defines upper analog signal limit and powers internal switch driver circuitry. |
| 9 | GND | Digital ground reference; separate from analog ground in mixed-signal designs to avoid noise coupling into sensitive analog paths. |
| 10 | VL | Logic supply rail; accepts 4.5–5.5 V; isolates digital switching noise from analog core; decoupling capacitor required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low on-resistance matching | ≤5 Ω max. mismatch between channels ensures consistent gain scaling in programmable-gain amplifier applications. |
| High off-isolation | –90 dB at 100 kHz enables simultaneous multi-channel signal conditioning without inter-channel interference. |
| Low power consumption | 1 µA max. supply current per rail reduces thermal drift and simplifies power budgeting in battery-powered instrumentation. |
| Latchup immunity | Epitaxial isolation layer prevents destructive latchup under overvoltage transients common in industrial environments. |
| Wide supply range | Supports ±5 V to ±20 V dual supplies or 5–15 V single supplies-flexible integration into legacy and new analog subsystems. |
Applications
| Audio Switching | Data Acquisition |

| Sample-and-Hold Circuits | Medical Instrumentation |
|
Use Scenario: Capturing transient ECG waveforms with sub-millisecond timing fidelity in portable diagnostic devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-charge-injection switch controlling connection between front-end amplifier and hold capacitor. Use Value: 4 pC injection limits pedestal error to <4 mV on 1 nF hold capacitors-preserving baseline stability for accurate ST-segment analysis. |
Use Scenario: Isolating patient-connected EEG electrode inputs from high-speed digitization circuitry in neurodiagnostic equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Medical-grade analog switch providing galvanic isolation and leakage-limited signal routing (±0.01 nA off-leakage).

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 on-resistance (60 Ω typ.), lower off-isolation (–75 dB), same 16-pin SOIC package but not DIP-compatible. | Less suitable for precision sample-and-hold due to higher charge injection (10 pC) and leakage (±0.1 nA). | Select MAX4617ESE+ only if SOIC footprint and lower cost outweigh need for <5 pC charge injection. |
| ADG1419BRUZ | Lower on-resistance (2.5 Ω typ.), higher supply voltage (±20 V), but requires 3.3 V logic and lacks VL pin separation. | Better for high-precision, low-distortion applications but incompatible with 5 V TTL control and dual-rail logic isolation. | Choose ADG1419BRUZ when ultra-low RDS(on) and extended voltage range justify redesign for 3.3 V logic interface. |
Compared with MAX4617ESE+ and ADG1419BRUZ, the DG445BDJ uniquely balances 45 Ω on-resistance, 4 pC charge injection, and independent VL rail-all in a through-hole DIP package ideal for prototyping, medical isolation, and legacy system upgrades.

FAQ
What is the logic polarity of DG445BDJ compared to DG444BDJ?
The DG445BDJ has active-high logic control: a logic HIGH (≥2.4 V) on INx turns the corresponding switch ON, while a logic LOW (≤0.8 V) turns it OFF. This is the inverse of DG444BDJ, which is active-low. Both share identical analog characteristics, so swapping them requires inverting the control signal in firmware or hardware.
Can DG445BDJ operate with a single 5 V supply?
No-DG445BDJ requires either dual supplies (e.g., ±15 V, ±12 V, or ±5 V) or a unipolar supply with V+ ≥ 5 V and V− = 0 V (e.g., V+ = 12 V, V− = 0 V). A 5 V-only supply violates the minimum V+–V− differential needed for full analog swing and risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings on the analog pins.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage supported by DG445BDJ?
With ±15 V supplies, DG445BDJ supports analog signals from –15 V to +15 V. With 12 V single supply (V+ = 12 V, V− = 0 V), the usable analog range is 0 V to 12 V. Signals beyond these rails are clamped by internal diodes; forward current must be limited to 30 mA to avoid damage.
Does DG445BDJ require external bypass capacitors?
Yes-DG445BDJ requires a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between VL and GND, and separate 0.1 µF + 10 µF (tantalum) capacitors between V+ and GND and between V− and GND. These minimize supply noise coupling into analog paths and ensure stable switching performance per Figure 1 in the datasheet.
Is DG445BDJ RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes-the DG445BDJ-E3 variant is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free per Vishay specification 99912. Standard DG445BDJ (non-E3) meets RoHS but may contain brominated flame retardants; for full compliance, specify DG445BDJ-E3 or verify material declaration with Vishay's PPAP documentation.
