Product details
Overview
DG509ACWE from Maxim Integrated is a differential 4-channel (2-of-8) monolithic CMOS analog multiplexer with ±4.5V to ±18V dual-supply operation, guaranteed break-before-make switching, and 130Ω typical on-resistance at ±15V. It features TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs, latchup-proof construction, and is designed for precision signal routing in data-acquisition and control systems.
For engineers reviewing the DG509ACWE datasheet, DG509ACWE pinout, DG509ACWE application, or DG509ACWE equivalent, key selection criteria include its differential channel architecture, -55°C to +125°C extended temperature capability (via other variants), low 0.002nA typical source off-leakage, and compatibility with ±15V analog signal ranges in high-isolation routing scenarios.
Technical Context
The DG509ACWE implements a fully symmetrical, bidirectional analog switch matrix controlled by two address bits (A0, A1) and an active-high enable (EN). Its internal decode logic selects one of four differential pairs (S1A/S1B through S4A/S4B), routing them to DA/DB outputs with matched on-resistance and capacitance across channels.
It operates with true rail-to-rail analog signal handling (±15V range), supports break-before-make timing of 0.2µs, and maintains stable performance across supply voltages from ±4.5V to ±18V - enabling use in both industrial ±15V and portable ±5V systems when paired with appropriate support circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15V - supports full-range bipolar signal routing without clipping in standard industrial instrumentation. |
| Drain-Source On-Resistance | 130Ω typ - ensures minimal insertion loss and gain error in precision measurement paths. |
| Break-Before-Make Interval | 0.2µs - prevents momentary shorting between differential channels during switching. |
| Source Off-Leakage Current | 0.002nA typ - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and data-logging front-ends. |
| Off-Isolation | 68dB at 500kHz - provides strong channel-to-channel crosstalk suppression in multi-signal routing. |
| Enable Turn-On Time | 0.4µs typ - enables fast multiplexing in real-time sampling applications like aircraft HUDs. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±4.5V to ±18V - allows direct integration into legacy ±15V systems and low-power ±5V designs with external level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin Wide SO (Small Outline) - surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, 7.5mm body width, suitable for automated PCB assembly and space-constrained industrial modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 16 | A0, A1 | Binary address inputs selecting one of four differential channel pairs (S1A/S1B–S4A/S4B). |
| 2 | EN | Active-high enable controlling global mux activation; disables all switches when low. |
| 3 | V− | Negative supply rail input - must be connected to system −V for proper analog signal swing. |
| 4–7 | S1A–S4A | Positive-side analog inputs/outputs of four differential channels - bidirectional, matched to SxB pins. |
| 8, 9 | DA, DB | Differential analog outputs - routed from selected SxA/SxB pair; maintain common-mode integrity. |
| 10–13 | S4B–S1B | Negative-side analog inputs/outputs - complementary to SxA pins; defines differential pair polarity. |
| 14 | V+ | Positive supply rail input - sets upper analog voltage limit and powers internal logic. |
| 15 | GND | Analog/digital reference ground - requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Symmetrical, bidirectional operation | Enables flexible signal flow - same pin serves as input or output without direction control logic. |
| Latchup-proof CMOS construction | Guarantees no destructive latchup even with power-off input signals - critical for hot-swap or fault-tolerant systems. |
| TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs | Accepts standard 0.8V/2.4V logic thresholds - eliminates need for level shifters in mixed-voltage digital control. |
| Plug-in upgrade for DG509A | Same pinout and function as legacy industry-standard part - enables drop-in replacement with improved specs. |
| Low 0.2mA total supply current | Reduces thermal load and extends battery life in portable data loggers and handheld test equipment. |
Applications
| Control Systems | Data-Acquisition Systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX339CPE+ | Lower on-resistance (100Ω typ), wider temp range (−40°C to +85°C), but only 4-channel single-ended. | Not differential - requires external inversion for true differential routing; better suited for cost-sensitive non-differential systems. | Select MAX339CPE+ when single-ended topology suffices and lower RDS(ON) is prioritized over differential signaling. |
| ADG509AKRZ | Pin-compatible 16-pin SO, ±15V rating, but higher 200Ω on-resistance and 0.5nA off-leakage. | Same differential 4-channel function and footprint - direct physical replacement where tighter leakage specs are not required. | Select ADG509AKRZ when board layout reuse is critical and leakage tolerance >0.1nA is acceptable. |
Compared with DG509ACWE, MAX339CPE+ offers lower conduction loss but lacks differential channel pairing, while ADG509AKRZ provides identical pinout and function at relaxed leakage and resistance specs - making it a layout-compatible alternative where precision is secondary to sourcing continuity.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the DG509ACWE?
The DG509ACWE is rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation. This commercial-grade temperature range is validated per Maxim's ordering information and applies specifically to the DG509ACWE variant with Wide SO packaging. For extended temperature operation, consider DG509AEWE (−40°C to +85°C) or DG509AAK (−55°C to +125°C), which share identical functionality but differ in qualification testing and packaging.
Does the DG509ACWE support single-supply operation?
No, the DG509ACWE requires dual supplies (V+ and V−) to operate correctly. Its specified analog signal range of ±15V and internal CMOS switch architecture depend on symmetric positive and negative rails. While the absolute maximum ratings allow V+ = +44V and V− = 0V, functional operation with usable analog range is only guaranteed under dual-supply conditions from ±4.5V to ±18V, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table.
How does the break-before-make timing work in the DG509ACWE?
The DG509ACWE guarantees a 0.2µs break-before-make interval during channel switching, measured between the turn-off of the previously selected differential pair and the turn-on of the newly selected pair. This timing prevents momentary shorting between channels and is verified under standard test conditions (Figure 3, datasheet Rev 3). The feature is inherent to the monolithic CMOS design and requires no external timing components or control sequencing.
Can the DG509ACWE be used as a direct replacement for the industry-standard DG509A?
Yes, the DG509ACWE is explicitly designated by Maxim as a plug-in upgrade for the DG509A, with identical pinout, function, and timing behavior. It improves upon the legacy part with lower on-resistance (130Ω vs. 170Ω typ), faster enable switching (0.4µs vs. 0.6µs), and significantly lower leakage (0.002nA vs. 0.01nA typ), while maintaining full compatibility in existing DG509A layouts and firmware.
What is the maximum analog signal frequency supported by the DG509ACWE?
The DG509ACWE does not specify a hard bandwidth limit, but its 68dB off-isolation at 500kHz and 12pF drain off-capacitance indicate effective operation up to several hundred kHz. For higher-frequency signals (e.g., >1MHz), performance degrades due to increased crosstalk and reduced isolation - as confirmed by the off-isolation test condition. System-level bandwidth should be validated with actual signal amplitude, source impedance, and load conditions per Figure 1a/b test circuits.
