Product details
Overview
DG641DJ from Vishay Siliconix is a quad single-pole single-throw (SPST) analog switch optimized for wideband video and RF signal routing. It delivers 500 MHz bandwidth, 5 Ω typical RDS(on) (per channel, referenced to DG642 family specs), -87 dB crosstalk at 5 MHz, and TTL-compatible digital control with 50 ns turn-on time. It operates from ±3 V to ±15 V dual supplies and supports bidirectional signal flow in video multiplexing applications.
For engineers reviewing the DG641DJ datasheet, DG641DJ pinout, DG641DJ application, or DG641DJ equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, package mapping to 16-pin plastic DIP, confirmed pin roles per truth table and schematic, real-world switching performance metrics, and validated alternative options for video/RF signal path design.
Technical Context
The DG641DJ implements four independent SPST switches fabricated on Vishay's proprietary D/CMOS process, enabling low on-resistance (5–8 Ω typ), low charge injection (-19 pC), and high off-isolation (-60 dB at 5 MHz). Its architecture supports true bidirectional analog signal routing with symmetrical source/drain terminals and no body-effect dependency on signal polarity.
It integrates an on-chip voltage regulator to maintain TTL logic compatibility across full supply ranges (V+ = 15 V, V− = −3 V), eliminates latchup via epitaxial isolation, and sustains 14 Vp-p analog signal swing while blocking up to 21 V differential between V+ and V− pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth | 500 MHz - Enables full HD video (1080p @ 60 Hz) and UHF RF signal routing without attenuation. |
| RDS(on) | 8 Ω max (−40°C to +85°C) - Minimizes insertion loss and distortion in analog video paths. |
| Crosstalk | −87 dB at 5 MHz - Prevents interference between adjacent channels in RGB or multi-source video systems. |
| Turn-on Time | 50 ns typ - Supports fast channel switching in ATE and programmable filter applications. |
| Analog Signal Range | −5 V to +8 V (V− = −5 V, V+ = 12 V) - Accommodates standard composite video and baseband analog signals. |
| Supply Voltage Range | V+ = −0.3 V to +21 V; V− = −19 V to +0.3 V - Allows flexible dual-supply biasing for AC-coupled video without external level shifters. |
| Charge Injection | −19 pC - Limits vertical sync timing jitter and ghosting artifacts in switched video lines. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin plastic DIP (Dual-In-Line), JEDEC MS-001, body dimensions 18.93–21.33 mm × 7.62–8.26 mm × 3.81–5.08 mm (L × W × H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | Switch Inputs (IN1–IN4) | Analog signal inputs to SPST channels; bidirectional, interchangeable with outputs. |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | Switch Outputs (S1–S4) | Common output nodes; connect to load or downstream stage; electrically identical to INx when ON. |
| 9, 10 | GND | Digital ground reference for logic inputs and internal regulator; must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF tantalum. |
| 11, 12 | V− | Negative supply rail; substrate connection; critical for decoupling to prevent RF coupling into analog paths. |
| 13, 14 | V+ | Positive supply rail; powers analog switch core and internal TTL regulator; requires same decoupling as V−. |
| 15, 16 | Control Inputs (D1–D4) | TTL-compatible digital enable lines (0 V ≤ LOW ≤ 0.8 V; 2.4 V ≤ HIGH ≤ V+); active-high per truth table. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True bidirectional switching | Source and drain terminals are functionally interchangeable-enables flexible PCB layout and reuse of signal paths. |
| On-chip TTL regulator | Maintains logic threshold compliance (VINH ≥ 2.4 V, VINL ≤ 0.8 V) across full V+/V− operating range-eliminates external level-shifting circuitry. |
| Epitaxial latchup protection | Prevents destructive latchup under transient overvoltage or ESD events-supports robust operation in industrial video equipment. |
| Low on-capacitance (10–20 pF) | Minimizes high-frequency signal roll-off and preserves edge integrity in 500 MHz video/RF paths. |
| High current capability (75 mA continuous) | Supports driving 75 Ω coaxial video loads directly without buffer amplifiers in multiplexer designs. |
Applications
| RGB Video Multiplexing | ATE Signal Routing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADG641BNZ | Quad SPST, 500 MHz BW, but higher RDS(on) (12 Ω max), wider SOIC-16 package (5.3 mm vs. 7.62 mm width), no V− pin-requires single-supply biasing. | Less suitable for ±5 V video signals; better fit for 3.3 V/5 V logic-controlled instrumentation where negative rail is unavailable. | Select ADG641BNZ only if board space allows wider SOIC and system lacks negative supply. |
| MAX4641ESE+ | Quad SPST, 300 MHz BW, lower RDS(on) (4.5 Ω typ), but limited analog range (−3.3 V to +3.3 V), no V− pin, 16-pin SOIC only. | Not viable for ±5 V video or RF IF routing; appropriate for low-voltage portable medical or audio signal switching. | Choose MAX4641ESE+ only for battery-powered systems with constrained analog swing and no need for high-frequency fidelity. |
Compared with ADG641BNZ and MAX4641ESE+, the DG641DJ uniquely supports dual-supply operation with full ±5 V analog handling, maintains 500 MHz bandwidth, and uses industry-standard 16-pin DIP-making it the only option among the three for legacy video hardware requiring through-hole mounting and wide signal swing.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage swing supported by the DG641DJ?
The DG641DJ supports an analog signal range of −5 V to +8 V when operated with V− = −5 V and V+ = 12 V. This allows full ±5 V peak-to-peak video signals-including composite, S-video, and RGB baseband-to pass without clipping or distortion, provided the signal stays within the absolute maximum ratings (V− − 0.3 V to V+ + 0.3 V).
Does the DG641DJ require external decoupling capacitors, and if so, what values are recommended?
Yes, the DG641DJ requires dedicated decoupling on both V+ and V− pins. Vishay specifies 1–10 µF tantalum bead plus 10–100 nF ceramic or polyester capacitors placed as close as possible to each supply pin. This is mandatory to maintain 500 MHz bandwidth and prevent RF coupling through the substrate, especially since the die substrate connects directly to V−.
Is the DG641DJ pin-compatible with other members of the DG64x family, such as DG642DJ or DG643DJ?
No, the DG641DJ is not pin-compatible with DG642DJ (8-pin DIP) or DG643DJ (16-pin DIP). While all share the same D/CMOS process and logic thresholds, the DG641DJ has 16 pins with four independent SPST channels, whereas DG642DJ is an SPDT switch in 8-pin format and DG643DJ is dual SPDT in 16-pin format with different pin assignments for control and signal paths.
Can the DG641DJ operate from a single positive supply, and how does that affect its analog signal range?
Yes, the DG641DJ can operate from a single positive supply by connecting V− to GND. In this configuration, the analog signal range becomes 0 V to +8 V (with V+ = 12 V), limiting use to unipolar video signals. However, DC biasing or AC coupling becomes necessary for bipolar signals, and off-isolation degrades slightly due to reduced V− headroom.
What is the guaranteed maximum RDS(on) for the DG641DJ over its full temperature range?
The DG641DJ guarantees a maximum RDS(on) of 20 Ω over the full −40°C to +85°C operating temperature range, as specified in the "SPECIFICATIONS (for DG641 and DG643)" table. This value applies under IS = −10 mA and VD = 0 V test conditions and ensures predictable insertion loss in video and RF signal chains across industrial environments.
