Product details
Overview
DG445DY from Maxim Integrated is a quad, normally open (NO), single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch IC designed for precision signal routing in bipolar or 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 logic compatibility - enabling use in test equipment, audio routing, and military radio front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the DG445DY datasheet, DG445DY pinout, DG445DY application, or DG445DY equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance matching (4Ω max), on-resistance flatness (9Ω max), ESD tolerance (2000V min), switching speed (tON < 250ns), and operation across ±4.5V to ±20V or +10V to +30V supply ranges.
Technical Context
The DG445DY implements four independent SPST switches with complementary control logic: logic high closes the switch (NO configuration). Its silicon-gate 44V process ensures robust voltage handling and low leakage over temperature. All channels share common V+, V−, GND, and VL pins, supporting both unbalanced and symmetric dual supplies.
Switching performance is tightly specified: tON < 250ns and tOFF < 70ns at ±16.5V, with dynamic parameters including 100dB crosstalk rejection and 60dB off-isolation at 1MHz. Charge injection (≤10pC) and on-resistance flatness (≤9Ω) are guaranteed only under bipolar-supply operation per datasheet Note 4.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG1414BRUZ | 16-channel, 4.5Ω typical RON, ±15V supply, but requires external level shifters for TTL logic | Higher channel count; better RON match but larger package and higher cost | Select when multi-channel density outweighs cost and layout constraints |
| TS5A23159DCKR | Single-supply only (+1.65V to +5.5V), 0.9Ω RON, but limited to 5.5V max analog range and no bipolar support | Optimized for low-voltage portable audio; unsuitable for ±15V industrial signal chains | Choose only for battery-powered, low-voltage consumer applications |
Compared with ADG1414BRUZ and TS5A23159DCKR, the DG445DY uniquely balances wide analog voltage range (±15V), bipolar supply capability, guaranteed on-resistance flatness, and −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade - making it irreplaceable in high-fidelity test, military comms, and precision sample-hold systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the DG445DY?
The DG445DY supports an analog signal range of ±15V when operated from ±15V supplies. This rail-to-rail capability allows full-swing signal handling without clipping, provided V+ and V− remain within their absolute maximum ratings (V+ ≤ 44V referenced to V−). The device maintains specified performance across its entire signal range, with guaranteed on-resistance flatness of ≤9Ω.
Does the DG445DY require a separate logic supply voltage (VL), and what are the options?
Yes, the DG445DY requires VL to set logic threshold levels. VL can be connected to +5V for TTL compatibility or tied directly to V+ for CMOS-level inputs. The datasheet specifies VL must remain within (GND − 0.3V) to (V+ + 0.3V). Using VL = V+ enables single-supply system integration while maintaining noise margin in noisy environments.
Can the DG445DY operate from unbalanced supplies such as +24V and −5V?
Yes, the DG445DY supports unbalanced supplies - for example, +24V and −5V - as long as the difference between V+ and V− does not exceed +44V and each supply remains within its absolute maximum ratings. This flexibility simplifies power architecture in systems with asymmetric voltage rails, though analog signal range scales accordingly (e.g., −5V to +24V).
What is the guaranteed on-resistance matching specification for the DG445DY, and under what conditions does it apply?
The DG445DY guarantees on-resistance matching of ≤4Ω between channels at +25°C, and ≤5Ω over the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range. This specification applies only under bipolar-supply operation (e.g., ±15V) with VD = ±10V and IS = −10mA, as defined in datasheet Note 4. It does not apply to single-supply configurations.
Is the DG445DY pin-compatible with earlier industry-standard DG445 variants?
Yes, the DG445DY maintains identical pinout and footprint with legacy DG445 devices in the 16-pin narrow SO package. It is a drop-in upgrade offering improved on-resistance matching (4Ω vs. older 10Ω spec), lower off-leakage (<5nA vs. 10nA), and enhanced ESD tolerance (2000V vs. 1000V), with no PCB or schematic changes required.
