Product details
Overview
DG508ACWE+T 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, 0.5nA max off-leakage at +25°C, and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs - used for precision signal routing in data-acquisition systems requiring rail-to-rail analog signal handling.
For engineers reviewing the DG508ACWE+T datasheet, DG508ACWE+T pinout, DG508ACWE+T application, or DG508ACWE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed latchup immunity with powered-off supplies, symmetrical bidirectional analog path performance, low standby supply current (0.02mA), and wide-temperature compatibility across industrial control and avionics interfaces.
Technical Context
The DG508ACWE+T implements a fully decoded 3-bit address logic (A0–A2) driving eight independent analog switches, each featuring matched RDS(ON) and <±6% channel-to-channel on-resistance variation. Its enable-controlled architecture ensures all channels remain open-circuit when EN = low, with 0.2μs break-before-make interval preventing signal shorting during channel transitions.
Designed for dual-supply analog signal conditioning, the device supports continuous operation across ±4.5V to ±18V, with analog input range extending to ±15V and internal clamp diodes protecting S/D terminals against overvoltage beyond rails. Logic inputs tolerate voltages up to V+ + 2V and draw ≤10μA at 2.4V high-level input.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15V - supports full-rail analog signals without clipping in ±15V systems |
| Drain-Source On-Resistance | 400Ω typ at ±15V - enables low-insertion-loss signal routing for 10kΩ+ source/load impedances |
| Break-Before-Make Interval | 0.2μs - prevents momentary shorting between channels during address changes |
| Off-Leakage Current | ±0.5nA max at +25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends and sample-hold circuits |
| Enable Turn-On/Off Time | 0.4μs / 0.2μs - allows fast channel switching synchronized to digital control clocks |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±4.5V to ±18V - accommodates legacy ±12V, ±15V, and modern ±5V-derived bias rails |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL and CMOS - interfaces directly with microcontrollers, FPGAs, and discrete logic without level-shifting |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX338ESE+ | Single-supply operation (4.5V to 20V), 350Ω RDS(ON), 100pA leakage, 16-pin SO | Optimized for battery-powered systems; lacks dual-supply flexibility and ±15V analog range | Select MAX338ESE+ when single-rail operation and ultra-low leakage outweigh dual-supply requirements |
| ADG508AKRZ-REEL7 | ±15V rating, 450Ω RDS(ON), 2nA leakage, 16-pin SO, ADI's improved latchup immunity | Higher leakage and slightly slower switching vs. DG508ACWE+T; identical pinout but different enable polarity | Choose ADG508AKRZ-REEL7 only if sourcing from ADI's qualified supply chain is mandatory for qualification-critical programs |
Compared with MAX338ESE+ and ADG508AKRZ-REEL7, the DG508ACWE+T uniquely balances wide dual-supply range, sub-nA leakage, and proven plug-in compatibility with legacy DG508A designs - making it optimal for industrial upgrades where analog rail flexibility and reliability are prioritized over single-supply convenience or alternate vendor qualification.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage supported by the DG508ACWE+T?
The DG508ACWE+T supports analog signals from V− to V+, with absolute maximum ratings allowing input voltages up to −2V to (V+ + 2V). At ±15V supplies, its specified analog signal range is ±15V - meaning the DG508ACWE+T can pass full-rail signals without distortion or clipping when operated within its recommended supply range.
Does the DG508ACWE+T require external pull-up resistors on its logic inputs?
No, the DG508ACWE+T does not require external pull-up resistors. Its logic inputs (A0, A1, A2, and EN) are TTL- and CMOS-compatible, with input current ≤10μA at 2.4V high level and ≤30μA across temperature. The DG508ACWE+T operates reliably with direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs or FPGA outputs without additional biasing components.
Is the DG508ACWE+T pin-compatible with older DG508A variants in SO packages?
Yes, the DG508ACWE+T uses the same 16-pin Wide SO footprint (W16-2) as the original DG508A in SO packages and shares identical pin functions, address decoding, and enable behavior. The DG508ACWE+T is explicitly documented as a plug-in upgrade - requiring no PCB changes while delivering lower leakage, faster enable timing, and improved latchup immunity over legacy versions.
What is the typical on-resistance matching between channels of the DG508ACWE+T?
The DG508ACWE+T exhibits ≤6% variation in drain-source on-resistance (RDS(ON)) between channels when measured at ±15V supplies. This tight matching ensures consistent gain and attenuation across all eight channels - critical for applications like programmable-gain amplifiers and multi-channel calibration systems where channel-to-channel uniformity directly impacts measurement accuracy. The DG508ACWE+T achieves this via monolithic CMOS process optimization and matched transistor layouts.
Can the DG508ACWE+T operate with asymmetric supply voltages such as +12V and −5V?
No, the DG508ACWE+T is specified only for symmetric dual supplies ranging from ±4.5V to ±18V. Asymmetric operation (e.g., +12V/−5V) violates the device's absolute maximum ratings and may cause undefined behavior, increased leakage, or permanent damage. For non-symmetric rail requirements, consider alternatives like the MAX338 or ADG508A - but the DG508ACWE+T must be used with matched positive and negative supplies to ensure guaranteed performance and reliability.
