Product details
Overview
DG642DY-E3 from Vishay Siliconix is a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) analog switch optimized for wideband video and RF signal routing. It delivers 5 Ω typical on-resistance, 500 MHz bandwidth, -85 dB crosstalk at 5 MHz, 100 mA continuous current handling, and TTL-compatible digital control - enabling high-fidelity RGB switching in broadcast-grade video systems.
For engineers reviewing the DG642DY-E3 datasheet, DG642DY-E3 pinout, DG642DY-E3 application, or DG642DY-E3 equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional signal integrity up to ±5 V analog swing, fast 60 ns turn-on time, low 40 pF on-capacitance, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The DG642DY-E3 uses Vishay's proprietary D/CMOS process to achieve true bidirectional conduction, substrate latchup prevention via epitaxial isolation, and integrated on-chip voltage regulation for consistent TTL input compatibility across its full ±3 V to ±15 V dual-supply range. Its SPDT topology supports signal path selection without polarity constraints.
It operates with analog signal ranges from -5 V to +8 V (V− = −5 V, V+ = 12 V) or 0 V to +8 V (V− = GND), and features matched RDS(on) (≤1 Ω max deviation) and low charge injection (−40 pC) - critical for minimizing transient errors in sampled video and high-speed data acquisition.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin narrow SOIC (JEDEC MS-012), 4.9 mm × 3.9 mm footprint, 1.27 mm pitch, 1.75 mm max height - compatible with standard surface-mount assembly and reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Digital control input | TTL-compatible logic select: "0" = S1 closed/D1 connected; "1" = S2 closed/D2 connected |
| 2 (D1) | Drain 1 / output 1 | Bidirectional analog terminal - connects to IN when logic = 0; isolated otherwise |
| 3 (S1) | Source 1 / common input | Common analog node - connects to D1 when logic = 0; connects to D2 when logic = 1 |
| 4 (S2) | Source 2 / common input | Unused in DG642 configuration; tied internally to GND in functional block diagram |
| 5 (GND) | Ground reference | Substrate tie point - must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF tantalum per supply rail |
| 6 (D2) | Drain 2 / output 2 | Bidirectional analog terminal - connects to IN when logic = 1; isolated otherwise |
| 7 (V−) | Negative supply | Supports negative analog swing down to −5 V; substrate connection requires robust decoupling |
| 8 (V+) | Positive supply | Accepts up to +21 V; enables single-supply operation when V− = GND |
Key Features

Applications
| RGB Video Switching | RF Signal Routing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Selecting between three HDMI sources feeding a single display controller in professional AV matrix switchers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DG642DY-E3 acts as the final-stage analog multiplexer before the video ADC, performing sub-100 ns channel transitions without ghosting or color bleed. Use Value: 5 Ω RDS(on) and −85 dB crosstalk preserve chroma/luma separation and prevent inter-channel interference in 4:4:4 RGB streams. | Use Scenario: Routing L-band satellite IF signals (950–2150 MHz) between two receivers in a dual-tuner set-top box. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DG642DY-E3 serves as a low-loss front-end switch, operating with V+ = +12 V and V− = −3 V to handle ±2 Vpp RF envelopes. Use Value: 500 MHz bandwidth and 40 pF CS(on) ensure minimal group delay variation and return loss >15 dB across full IF band. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4642EUA+ | Higher RDS(on) (12 Ω typ), lower bandwidth (350 MHz), no negative supply support | Limited to single-supply 0–5 V systems; unsuitable for ±5 V video swing | Prefer DG642DY-E3 for dual-supply video routing; MAX4642EUA+ only where cost sensitivity outweighs performance needs |
| ADG779BRMZ | Lower voltage rating (±5.5 V max), higher crosstalk (−65 dB), smaller 3 mm × 3 mm MSOP package | Restricted to low-voltage portable video; insufficient isolation for broadcast equipment | Select DG642DY-E3 for industrial/commercial video infrastructure; ADG779BRMZ only for space-constrained consumer devices |
Compared with MAX4642EUA+ and ADG779BRMZ, the DG642DY-E3 uniquely combines dual-supply operation, 500 MHz bandwidth, and −85 dB crosstalk - making it the only option qualified for professional RGB and satellite IF routing where signal fidelity and voltage headroom are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the DG642DY-E3?
The DG642DY-E3 supports analog signals from −5 V to +8 V when operated with V− = −5 V and V+ = 12 V, or 0 V to +8 V with V− = GND and V+ = 12 V. This range accommodates standard composite, S-video, and RGB video levels without external level-shifting circuitry. The DG642DY-E3 absolute maximum ratings permit V+ to V− up to 21 V, but analog signal excursion must remain within the specified range to avoid forward-biasing internal clamping diodes.
Does the DG642DY-E3 require external decoupling capacitors, and if so, what values are recommended?
Yes, the DG642DY-E3 requires dedicated decoupling on both V+ and V− pins. Vishay specifies 10 µF tantalum (or aluminum electrolytic) plus 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors placed within 2 mm of each supply pin. This dual-capacitor approach suppresses both low-frequency ripple and high-frequency noise, preventing dynamic performance degradation such as reduced bandwidth or increased crosstalk. Failure to implement proper decoupling directly impacts the DG642DY-E3's 500 MHz bandwidth and −85 dB crosstalk specifications.
Can the DG642DY-E3 be used in single-supply configurations, and how does that affect its analog signal handling?
Yes, the DG642DY-E3 supports single-supply operation with V− tied to GND and V+ set to +5 V to +15 V. In this mode, the analog signal range is limited to 0 V to +8 V, making it suitable for baseband video and digital signal routing where negative excursions are absent. However, single-supply use eliminates the ability to pass bipolar signals like AC-coupled RGB or IF waveforms - a key capability retained only when using the full dual-supply configuration of the DG642DY-E3.
What is the significance of the DG642DY-E3's −40 pC charge injection specification?
The DG642DY-E3's −40 pC typical charge injection determines the magnitude of voltage glitch induced on the output node during switching transients. When driving high-impedance loads (e.g., 1000 pF sampling capacitors in CCD readout), this translates to ~40 mV error - acceptable for 8-bit video but requiring post-processing correction in 10+ bit imaging systems. Charge injection is measured with CL = 1000 pF and VD = 0 V, per Figure 3 in the DG642DY-E3 datasheet, and remains stable across temperature due to the D/CMOS process.
How does the DG642DY-E3's RDS(on) matching of ≤1 Ω benefit video applications?
The DG642DY-E3's RDS(on) matching (ΔRDS(on) ≤ 1 Ω) ensures near-identical insertion loss and phase shift between its two switch paths. In RGB video routing, this prevents differential gain and phase errors that manifest as color shifts or edge ringing. Unlike generic analog switches with >3 Ω mismatch, the DG642DY-E3 maintains luminance/chrominance tracking within 0.1% across both D1 and D2 outputs - a requirement verified in broadcast compliance testing per SMPTE RP 168.
