Product details
Overview
DG508ACJ+ from Maxim Integrated is a monolithic CMOS 8-channel single-ended analog multiplexer with break-before-make switching, ±4.5V to ±18V dual-supply operation, 400Ω typical on-resistance at ±15V, and 0.6μs typical switch transition time. It serves as a precision signal-routing device in data-acquisition systems requiring rail-to-rail analog signal handling and TTL/CMOS-compatible digital control.
For engineers reviewing the DG508ACJ+ datasheet, DG508ACJ+ pinout, DG508ACJ+ application, or DG508ACJ+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed latchup immunity with powered-off supplies, sub-1μs enable timing, <1nA off-leakage at ±10V, and compatibility with industrial temperature-range upgrades (e.g., DG508ADJ).
Technical Context
The DG508ACJ+ implements a fully decoded 3-bit address logic (A0–A2) driving eight bidirectional analog switches, each with symmetrical conduction and matched RDS(ON) across channels (≤6% variation). Its CMOS architecture ensures bidirectional signal flow and zero static power draw in standby mode.
Break-before-make timing is guaranteed at 0.2μs minimum, preventing momentary shorting during channel transitions. The enable input (EN) provides global mux control with 0.4μs turn-on and 0.2μs turn-off times, independent of address changes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15V - supports full-rail analog signals without clipping when V+ = +15V, V− = −15V |
| Drain-Source On-Resistance | 400Ω typ - low distortion and minimal voltage drop for ≤1mA analog loads | Greatest RDS(ON) Variation | 6% max - ensures channel-to-channel gain matching in multi-channel sampling |
| Off-Leakage Current | ±0.005nA typ at ±10V - preserves high-impedance sensor node integrity over temperature |
| Switch Transition Time | 0.6μs typ - enables ≥1MHz multiplexed sampling without settling-time penalty |
| Enable Turn-On/Off Time | 0.4μs / 0.2μs typ - allows tight synchronization with external control clocks |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±4.5V to ±18V - supports portable (±5V) and industrial (±15V) rails with same part |
Pinout & Package
DG508ACJ+ is housed in a 16-pin plastic DIP (dual in-line package) with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; pin numbering follows standard DIP convention (counter-clockwise from top-left corner).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15, 16 | A0, A1, A2 | 3-bit binary address inputs selecting one of eight analog channels (S1–S8) |
| 2 | EN | Active-high enable controlling global mux activation; disables all switches when low |
| 3 | V− | Negative supply rail connection; must be referenced to GND for proper biasing |
| 4–7 | S1–S4 | Bidirectional analog input/output terminals for channels 1–4 |
| 8 | D | Common analog output/input terminal (single-ended configuration) |
| 9–12 | S8–S5 | Bidirectional analog input/output terminals for channels 5–8 (reversed order per datasheet) |
| 13 | V+ | Positive supply rail connection; sets upper analog voltage limit |
| 14 | GND | Circuit reference ground; required for logic interface and internal bias stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed 0.2μs minimum open interval prevents signal shorting during channel changes |
| Latchup-proof construction | Immune to destructive latchup even when power supplies are off but analog signals remain present |
| TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs | Accepts 0.8V/2.4V thresholds and draws <10μA input current-no level-shifting needed |
| Symmetrical bidirectional operation | Identical on-resistance and leakage in either signal direction-enables mux/demux reuse |
| Low-power CMOS design | 0.02mA supply current in standby-extends battery life in portable data loggers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX338CPD+ | Single-supply 5V operation only; 350Ω RDS(ON); no ±15V capability | Designed for low-voltage portable systems-not suitable for ±12V/±15V industrial rails | Select MAX338CPD+ only when supply is strictly +5V and rail-to-rail analog range ≤4.5V. |
| DG508ADJ+ | Same functionality with extended −40°C to +85°C operating range; identical pinout and specs | Rated for automotive under-hood and industrial control cabinet environments | Choose DG508ADJ+ when ambient temperature exceeds +70°C-no redesign needed. |
Compared with MAX338CPD+, DG508ACJ+ supports wider supply and signal ranges but requires dual rails; compared with DG508ADJ+, it offers identical performance at lower cost for commercial-temperature applications only.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage supported by DG508ACJ+?
DG508ACJ+ supports analog signals from V− to V+, i.e., ±15V when operated at ±15V supplies. Absolute maximum ratings allow V− to V+ up to +44V total span, but functional analog range remains rail-limited. Exceeding V+ or V− clamps signals via internal diodes-designers must limit forward current to 20mA per terminal.
Does DG508ACJ+ require external pull-up resistors on address or enable lines?
No. DG508ACJ+ features TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs with guaranteed 0.8V low and 2.4V high thresholds and input currents under ±10μA. External pull-ups are unnecessary unless interfacing with open-drain controllers or long traces requiring noise immunity-standard microcontroller GPIOs drive it directly.
Can DG508ACJ+ operate from a single +5V supply?
No. DG508ACJ+ requires dual symmetric supplies (e.g., ±5V, ±12V, ±15V) within ±4.5V to ±18V range. Single-supply operation is not supported. For +5V-only systems, consider the pin-compatible MAX338, which shares the same 8-channel architecture but uses different process technology.
How does DG508ACJ+ prevent latchup during power-down sequences?
DG508ACJ+ uses latchup-proof CMOS fabrication that eliminates parasitic SCR formation. Even with analog inputs active while V+ and V− are at 0V, no destructive latchup occurs-verified per JEDEC JESD78. This enables safe "hot insertion" into live signal paths without system shutdown.
Is DG508ACJ+ RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. DG508ACJ+ carries the "+" suffix per Maxim's ordering nomenclature, indicating lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant packaging in its 16-pin plastic DIP. The device meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C).
