Product details
Overview
DG485AZ/883 from Vishay Siliconix is an octal SPST analog switch array with serial control interface, rail-to-rail analog signal handling (±15 V), 55 Ω typical on-resistance, and 170 ns typical turn-on time-designed for high-reliability data acquisition and avionics systems operating from –55 °C to +125 °C.
For engineers reviewing the DG485AZ/883 datasheet, DG485AZ/883 pinout, DG485AZ/883 application, or DG485AZ/883 equivalent, key selection criteria include MIL-PRF-38535 Class B qualification, LCC-20 hermetic package, serial daisy-chain capability, and guaranteed performance across extended temperature range without derating.
Technical Context
The DG485AZ/883 integrates an 8-bit shift register and octal latch controlled by CLK (edge-triggered), LD (level-triggered), and RS inputs-enabling precise serial programming of individual switch states. Its silicon-gate process ensures latchup immunity and supports ±44 V supply rails.
Analog channels conduct bidirectionally with matched on-resistance (ΔrDS(on) ≤ 6%), low charge injection (17 pC), and high off-isolation (–75 dB at 1 MHz). Digital logic operates at VL = 5 V with TTL/CMOS-compatible input thresholds and 10 MHz max clock frequency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15 V (rail-to-rail operation with ±15 V supplies; supports full-scale signal switching without clipping) |
| rDS(on) Typ. | 55 Ω (low on-resistance minimizes signal attenuation and gain error in precision analog paths) |
| tON / tOFF Typ. | 170 ns / 150 ns (fast switching enables multiplexing in >100 kSPS data acquisition systems) |
| Off Isolation | –75 dB at 1 MHz (high channel-to-channel isolation preserves signal integrity in multi-channel routing) |
| Charge Injection | 17 pC (low injection reduces sampling pedestal error in switched-capacitor and sample-hold circuits) |
| Supply Voltage Range | V+ = +44 V, V– = –44 V (wide bipolar supply tolerance simplifies power design in industrial and avionic systems) |
| Operating Temp. | –55 °C to +125 °C (MIL-STD-883 qualified for aerospace, defense, and downhole applications) |
Pinout & Package
LCC-20 (Leadless Chip Carrier), hermetically sealed ceramic package with 20 terminals, J-lead geometry, and center ground paddle for thermal and EMI performance. Compliant with MIL-PRF-38535 Class B screening.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 9 | CLK | Edge-triggered serial clock input; advances shift register on rising edge |
| 10 | DOUT | Serial data output; enables daisy-chaining of multiple DG485AZ/883 devices |
| 11 | LD | Level-triggered load input; latches shift register contents into octal latch on high level |
| 12 | RS | Asynchronous reset; forces all switches OFF and clears shift register on active low |
| 13 | V+ | Positive analog supply rail; supports up to +44 V; powers analog switches and internal logic |
| 14 | V– | Negative analog supply rail; supports down to –44 V; required for bipolar signal handling |
| 15 | GND | Digital ground reference; tied internally to substrate; must be connected to system ground plane |
| 16 | VL | Logic supply voltage; 4.75–5.25 V; sets TTL/CMOS input thresholds and output drive levels |
| 17 | DIN | Serial data input; accepts 8-bit control word MSB-first for switch configuration |
| 18, 19, 20 | NC | No-connect terminals; left unconnected per datasheet; not internally bonded |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal serial analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX306CPI+ | Parallel 16-channel analog multiplexer; no serial interface; ±20 V analog range; 120 Ω rDS(on); DIP-28 package | Requires 4 address lines + enable; suited for fixed-configuration systems with higher channel count but no need for daisy-chaining | Select when board layout allows parallel control and higher on-resistance is acceptable for DC-coupled signals |
| ADG508AKRZ-REEL7 | 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer; parallel 3-bit address; ±15 V rating; 170 Ω rDS(on); SOIC-16 package; commercial temp range only | Lacks serial interface and extended temperature support; lower integration density; no daisy-chain capability | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial controls where –40 °C to +85 °C suffices and PCB space permits larger footprint |
Compared with MAX306CPI+ and ADG508AKRZ-REEL7, the DG485AZ/883 uniquely combines serial expandability, MIL-qualified temperature range, and ultra-low on-resistance in a hermetic LCC package-making it irreplaceable for compact, high-reliability avionics and downhole telemetry designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the DG485AZ/883?
The DG485AZ/883 supports a maximum clock frequency of 10 MHz under standard operating conditions (V+ = 15 V, V– = –15 V, VL = 5 V). This allows full 8-bit serial loading in under 1 μs, enabling rapid reconfiguration in real-time signal routing applications. The device maintains timing specifications across its full –55 °C to +125 °C operating range without derating.
Does the DG485AZ/883 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on S1–S8 pins?
Yes-the DG485AZ/883 datasheet specifies that S1–S8 source terminals require 1 kΩ pull-down resistors when used in open-drain configurations (e.g., summing node applications shown in Figure 14). These resistors ensure defined logic states during switch transitions and prevent floating inputs that could cause leakage-induced errors in precision analog paths.
How does the DG485AZ/883 achieve latchup immunity?
The DG485AZ/883 achieves latchup immunity through Vishay Siliconix's proprietary high-voltage silicon gate process featuring an epitaxial layer that suppresses parasitic SCR formation. This structure is validated per MIL-PRF-38535 requirements and guarantees robust operation even under transient overvoltage conditions up to ±44 V on V+ and V– rails without destructive latchup events.
Can the DG485AZ/883 operate with unipolar supplies such as +12 V and GND?
Yes-the DG485AZ/883 supports unipolar operation with V+ = +12 V and V– = GND, enabling use in single-supply systems. In this configuration, the analog signal range is 0 V to +12 V, and the device maintains specified rDS(on) (55 Ω typ.), tON (170 ns typ.), and leakage performance. Refer to Figure 5-5 in the datasheet for rDS(on) vs. unipolar supply curves.
What is the purpose of the VL pin on the DG485AZ/883, and what voltage range is allowed?
The VL pin on the DG485AZ/883 sets the logic threshold and output drive level for digital control inputs (CLK, LD, RS, DIN). It must be supplied with 4.75 V to 5.25 V-matching standard TTL/CMOS logic families. Operating outside this range risks incorrect latch behavior or excessive input current; VL is not internally regulated and must be externally stabilized with local bypass capacitance.
