Product details
Overview
DG528AK from Maxim Integrated is a monolithic, single-ended 1-of-8 CMOS analog multiplexer with on-board address and control latches, designed for microprocessor-controlled data-acquisition systems. It operates from ±4.5V to ±20V dual supplies or +5V to +30V single supply, features break-before-make switching, TTL/CMOS-compatible logic inputs, and supports analog signal ranges up to ±15V. Its 18-pin CERDIP package enables operation across -55°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the DG528AK datasheet, DG528AK pinout, DG528AK application, or DG528AK equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, latchable multiplexer timing behavior, rDS(ON) < 400Ω performance, MIL-grade temperature capability, and direct alternatives for high-reliability analog switching in avionics, test equipment, and embedded industrial systems.
Technical Context
The DG528AK integrates parallel N- and P-channel MOSFET switch structures with on-die address latches, decode logic, and level translators for A2/A1/A0/EN/WR/RS digital inputs. Its break-before-make interval is guaranteed at 0.2µs, preventing input shorting during channel transitions.
It supports transparent mode (WR low, RS high), latched mode (WR high), and reset mode (RS low). Analog signal routing is controlled via 3-bit BCD address decoding, with EN enabling global switch disable-critical for cascading multiple DG528AK units into larger multiplexers.
Key Specifications

| Analog Signal Range | ±15V - Supports full-rail switching of bipolar signals without clipping when V+ = +15V, V− = −15V. |
| rDS(ON) | < 400Ω (typ. 270Ω) - Low on-resistance ensures minimal voltage drop and signal attenuation in precision analog paths. |
| Break-Before-Make Interval | 0.2µs - Guarantees no momentary short between channels during address changes, preserving signal integrity. |
| Charge Injection | 4pC - Low charge injection minimizes voltage glitches at output during switching, critical for sample-and-hold accuracy. |
| Supply Range | ±4.5V to ±20V dual or +5V to +30V single - Enables flexible power architecture including asymmetric supplies (e.g., +15V/−5V). |
| Logic Compatibility | TTL and CMOS - Accepts standard 0.8V/2.4V logic thresholds; input current ≤1µA ensures minimal loading on µP buses. |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - Qualified for extended-temperature military and aerospace applications per MIL-STD-883 options. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG528AKRZ | Pin-compatible 1-of-8 latchable mux; rDS(ON) = 470Ω (max), 60ns tTRANS vs. DG528AK's 1µs; lower charge injection (0.6pC). | Better suited for high-speed, low-glitch applications (e.g., fast ADC sampling), but higher on-resistance increases gain error in precision DC circuits. | Select ADG528AKRZ when speed and charge injection dominate; retain DG528AK for extended-temperature robustness and proven MIL-qualified reliability. |
| DG528DK | Same die, same pinout, same electrical specs-but rated only for −40°C to +85°C and packaged in 18-pin CERDIP without MIL-STD-883 option. | Valid for commercial/industrial use where extended temperature or military qualification is not required; lower cost and broader distributor availability. | Choose DG528DK for cost-sensitive non-military designs; DG528AK remains mandatory for −55°C startup, sustained +125°C operation, or DoD compliance. |
Compared with ADG528AKRZ and DG528DK, the DG528AK uniquely combines MIL-grade temperature range, proven long-term reliability in harsh environments, and identical functionality to legacy DG528 designs-making it irreplaceable in deployed avionics and defense systems requiring form-fit-function continuity.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the DG528AK?
The DG528AK supports analog signal ranges from V− to V+, with absolute maximum ratings of ±44V on V+ and ±25V on GND referenced to V−. Under typical operation with ±15V supplies, it handles analog signals from −15V to +15V. When using a +15V/−5V asymmetrical supply, the usable analog range extends from −5V to +15V-enabling flexible signal conditioning in mixed-voltage systems. DG528AK maintains specified rDS(ON) and leakage performance across this full range.
Does the DG528AK require external pull-up resistors on its address or control pins?
No, the DG528AK does not require external pull-up resistors on A2/A1/A0, EN, WR, or RS inputs. Its TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs draw less than 1µA over the full temperature range, and internal design ensures valid logic thresholds (VAL ≤ 0.8V, VAH ≥ 2.4V) without external biasing. DG528AK operates reliably with direct connection to microprocessor GPIO or bus drivers-eliminating BOM cost and layout complexity.
How does the break-before-make interval of the DG528AK prevent signal corruption?
The DG528AK guarantees a minimum 0.2µs break-before-make interval during channel transitions, ensuring that the previously selected analog path is fully disconnected before the next channel closes. This eliminates momentary short-circuits between input sources-critical when multiplexing sensors with different output impedances or voltage levels. DG528AK's internal timing architecture enforces this interval regardless of address transition speed, preserving signal fidelity in high-accuracy data acquisition.
Can the DG528AK operate from a single +5V supply, and what are the implications?
Yes, the DG528AK operates from a single +5V supply (with V− tied to GND), but analog signal range is limited to 0V to +5V, and switching delays approximately double versus ±15V operation. Digital thresholds remain compatible with TTL logic, and rDS(ON) increases slightly due to reduced V+–V− differential. DG528AK retains full functionality-including WR/RS latching and break-before-make-making it viable for low-voltage embedded systems where rail-to-rail analog range is not required.
Is the DG528AK pin-compatible with earlier DG528 variants like DG528CJ or DG528DK?
Yes, the DG528AK is fully pin- and electrically compatible with all industry-standard DG528 variants-including DG528CJ, DG528DK, and DG528DN-as explicitly stated in the datasheet. All share identical 18-pin CERDIP (DG528AK/DK) or DIP/SO (DG528CJ/DN) footprints, identical pin functions, and overlapping electrical specifications. DG528AK extends temperature range and qualifies for MIL-STD-883, while maintaining drop-in replacement capability in existing designs.
