Product details
Overview
DG509ACJ from Maxim Integrated is a differential 4-channel (2-of-8) monolithic CMOS analog multiplexer with break-before-make switching, ±4.5V to ±18V dual-supply operation, and TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs. It features 500Ω typical on-resistance, <0.5nA max off-leakage at ±10V, and 0.6μs typical switch transition time - enabling precision signal routing in data-acquisition systems requiring rail-to-rail analog handling.
For engineers reviewing the DG509ACJ datasheet, DG509ACJ pinout, DG509ACJ application, or DG509ACJ equivalent, this part supports differential channel selection in high-reliability industrial instrumentation where supply tolerance, low leakage, and latchup immunity are critical design constraints.
Technical Context
The DG509ACJ implements a fully decoded 2-bit address logic (A0/A1) controlling four independent differential switch pairs (S1A/S1B through S4A/S4B), each bidirectional and symmetrical. Its CMOS architecture ensures matched on-resistance across channels and guarantees no latchup even with input signals present during power-down.
It operates over ±4.5V to ±18V supplies with validated performance at ±15V, delivering 68dB off-isolation at 500kHz and <5pF source off-capacitance. Enable (EN) control provides full channel disable with 0.4μs turn-on and 0.2μs turn-off timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15V - supports rail-to-rail signal switching without clipping in ±15V systems |
| Drain-Source On-Resistance | 500Ω typ - ensures minimal gain error and voltage drop in precision analog paths |
| Source Off-Leakage Current | ±50nA max at ±10V - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces |
| Switch Transition Time | 0.6μs typ - enables sub-microsecond channel switching for fast-sampling DAQ |
| Off-Isolation | 68dB at 500kHz - suppresses crosstalk between active and inactive differential pairs |
| Enable Turn-On Time | 0.4μs typ - allows tight synchronization of mux enable with ADC sampling windows |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±4.5V to ±18V - accommodates legacy industrial ±5V, ±12V, and ±15V power rails |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin plastic DIP (0°C to +70°C operating range), RoHS-compliant with + suffix option.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 16 | A0, A1 | 2-bit binary address inputs selecting one of four differential switch pairs |
| 2 | EN | Active-high enable: disables all switches when low, prevents partial conduction |
| 3 | V− | Negative supply rail connection - must be referenced to GND for proper biasing |
| 4–7 | S1A–S4A | First side of differential analog inputs/outputs - bidirectional, matched to SxB pins |
| 8, 9 | DA, DB | Differential analog outputs - routed from selected SxA/SxB pair when EN = high |
| 10–13 | S4B–S1B | Second side of differential analog inputs/outputs - electrically mirrored to SxA pins |
| 14 | V+ | Positive supply rail connection - establishes upper analog voltage limit |
| 15 | GND | Signal reference ground - required for logic interface and analog common-mode stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Symmetrical, bidirectional operation | Identical on-resistance and capacitance for both signal directions - enables flexible mux/demux reuse |
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed 0.2μs minimum open interval - prevents momentary shorting between differential channels |
| Latchup-proof construction | No latchup observed with inputs active during power-off - eliminates system reset requirements |
| TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs | Accepts 0.8V/2.4V thresholds - interoperable with standard microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters |
| 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 differential analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX339CPE+ | Improved successor with ±5V min supply, lower 120Ω RDS(ON), and 0.1nA leakage - but only 0°C to +70°C plastic DIP variant available | Designed for lower-voltage systems; not rated for ±18V operation like DG509ACJ | Select MAX339CPE+ when supply is limited to ±5V/±12V and ultra-low on-resistance is prioritized |
| ADG509AKRZ | Analog Devices' pin-compatible 16-pin SOIC variant with identical 2-of-8 differential topology, 400Ω RDS(ON), and −40°C to +85°C rating | Same functional behavior but wider temperature range and surface-mount packaging | Select ADG509AKRZ for extended temperature operation or PCB space-constrained designs requiring SOIC |
Compared with DG509ACJ, MAX339CPE+ offers better performance at lower voltages but sacrifices high-voltage robustness, while ADG509AKRZ provides identical functionality in a modern SOIC package with broader temperature support - neither is pin-compatible with the DG509ACJ's 16-pin DIP footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for DG509ACJ?
The DG509ACJ supports continuous operation from ±4.5V to ±18V. Absolute maximum ratings specify V+ up to +44V referenced to V−, but functional operation is guaranteed only within the ±4.5V to ±18V range. Exceeding ±18V may degrade performance or reliability, and the DG509ACJ is not characterized beyond that range.
Does DG509ACJ support bidirectional signal flow?
Yes, DG509ACJ supports fully bidirectional analog signal flow on all terminals - S1A/S1B through S4A/S4B and DA/DB - with symmetrical on-resistance and capacitance. This allows the same device to function as either a multiplexer or demultiplexer without circuit redesign, preserving signal integrity in both directions.
What does "break-before-make" mean for DG509ACJ switching?
Break-before-make ensures that one differential switch pair fully opens before the next closes - with a guaranteed minimum 0.2μs open interval. For DG509ACJ, this prevents momentary short circuits between channels during address transitions, which is essential in fault-tolerant systems like aircraft HUDs where signal contention could cause display corruption.
Can DG509ACJ operate with a single 5V supply?
No, DG509ACJ requires dual ±4.5V to ±18V supplies and is not specified for single 5V operation. Its internal CMOS switch structure relies on symmetric rail referencing. For single 5V or ±5V applications, Maxim recommends the MAX338/MAX339 - the DG509ACJ will not function correctly or meet specifications under single-supply conditions.
Is DG509ACJ RoHS-compliant?
Yes, DG509ACJ is available in a lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant plastic DIP package. To order the RoHS version, add a plus (+) suffix to the part number (i.e., DG509ACJ+). The base DG509ACJ part is also RoHS-compliant per Maxim's documentation, with exemption status confirmed in the original package data sheet.
