Product details
Overview
DG9408EDN-T1-GE4 from Vishay Siliconix is an 8-channel single-ended analog multiplexer IC designed to route one of eight analog inputs to a common output under 3-bit binary address control (A0–A2). It features 3.2 Ω typical on-resistance, 36 ns enable turn-on time, and operates from 3 V to 16 V single supply or ±3 V to ±8 V dual supply - ideal for precision data acquisition systems requiring low distortion and fast channel switching.
For engineers reviewing the DG9408EDN-T1-GE4 datasheet, DG9408EDN-T1-GE4 pinout, DG9408EDN-T1-GE4 application, or DG9408EDN-T1-GE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed break-before-make timing, ±5 V dual-supply compatibility, QFN-16 package thermal performance, and 2500 V HBM ESD rating for rugged industrial signal routing.
Technical Context
The DG9408EDN-T1-GE4 employs BiCMOS fabrication to support wide supply ranges while maintaining low RON flatness (≤8 Ω) and tight channel-to-channel RON matching (ΔRON ≤ 3.6 Ω). Its decoder/driver integrates level-shifting circuitry enabling TTL/CMOS/LV logic compatibility across 3 V, 5 V, and 12 V supplies.
Break-before-make switching is architecturally guaranteed - preventing momentary crosstalk during channel transitions - and all digital inputs tolerate overvoltage clamping up to V+ or V− via internal diodes, supporting robust interfacing in mixed-signal environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-resistance | 3.2 Ω typ. at 12 V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision measurement paths |
| Enable turn-on time | 36 ns typ. - enables high-throughput scanning in automated test equipment (ATE) |
| Analog signal range | 0 to 12 V (single supply) or ±5 V (dual supply) - supports full-rail operation with bipolar sensor interfaces |
| Charge injection | 4.5 pC typ. - limits voltage glitch on high-impedance sampling nodes (e.g., SAR ADC hold capacitors) |
| Off isolation | −83 dB at 100 kHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive channels in multi-sensor monitoring |
| ESD rating | 2500 V HBM - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for handling robustness in production environments |
| Supply current | 1 μA max. - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed data loggers |
Pinout & Package
The DG9408EDN-T1-GE4 is housed in a lead (Pb)-free 16-pin QFN package (4 mm × 4 mm), with exposed thermal pad having no internal electrical connection - configurable as GND, V+, V−, or floating per layout requirements.

|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 | S1–S8 analog inputs | Eight independent single-ended source terminals; each clamped to V+ or V− by internal diodes |
| 6 | D analog output | Common drain node; supports bidirectional signal flow with 154 pF on-capacitance at 1 MHz |
| 9, 11, 12 | A0, A1, A2 address inputs | 3-bit binary select lines; CMOS-compatible with 0.8 V / 2.4 V thresholds at 12 V supply |
| 13 | EN enable input | Active-low enable; asserts break-before-make timing when transitioning between channels |
| 14 | V+ | Positive supply rail; supports 3–16 V single or ±3–±8 V dual operation |
| 15 | V− | Negative supply rail; required for dual-supply mode; tied to GND in single-supply configurations |
| 16 | GND | Ground reference; decoupling recommended adjacent to V+ and V− pins |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4617ESE+ | Higher RON (10 Ω typ.), slower tON (120 ns), SOIC-16 package | Lacks QFN thermal performance and dual-supply support; limited to 5 V systems | Choose for legacy through-hole designs where PCB rework is prohibitive |
| ADG1408BRUZ | Lower RON (4.5 Ω typ.), higher supply current (200 μA), TSSOP-16 | Superior THD but requires active biasing for ±5 V operation; no integrated clamp diodes | Prefer when total harmonic distortion < −100 dB is mandatory and layout allows discrete protection |
Compared with MAX4617ESE+ and ADG1408BRUZ, the DG9408EDN-T1-GE4 delivers optimal balance of speed (36 ns), low RON (3.2 Ω), and dual-supply flexibility in a thermally enhanced QFN - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, multi-range industrial DAQ platforms.

FAQ
What supply voltage ranges does the DG9408EDN-T1-GE4 support?
The DG9408EDN-T1-GE4 supports single-supply operation from 3 V to 16 V and dual-supply operation from ±3 V to ±8 V. At 12 V single supply, typical on-resistance is 3.2 Ω; at ±5 V dual supply, it rises to 4 Ω. The device maintains guaranteed break-before-make timing and logic compatibility across all supported rails - confirmed in Vishay's E25-0257-Rev. B datasheet sections 3 and 4.
Does the DG9408EDN-T1-GE4 require external clamping diodes for overvoltage protection?
No. The DG9408EDN-T1-GE4 integrates internal clamping diodes on all analog terminals (S1–S8, D), limiting signals exceeding V+ or V−. Per datasheet Note "a" on page 2, forward diode current must be limited to rated maximums - but no external diodes are needed for standard overvoltage transients within ±0.3 V of supply rails.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage the DG9408EDN-T1-GE4 can handle in single-supply mode?
In single-supply mode, the DG9408EDN-T1-GE4 supports analog signals from 0 V to V+ (e.g., 0–12 V at V+ = 12 V). The absolute maximum rating allows VANALOG up to V+ + 0.3 V, but functional operation is specified only within the 0 to V+ range. This full-rail capability is validated in the "Analog Signal Range" parameter table on page 3 of the datasheet.
How is break-before-make timing guaranteed in the DG9408EDN-T1-GE4?
Break-before-make timing is architecturally guaranteed in the DG9408EDN-T1-GE4 via internal decoder/driver logic that forces all switches to open before any new channel closes. Measured tBBM is ≥2 ns (room temp, 12 V supply) - verified in Figure 4 test circuit and Table "Dynamic Characteristics" on page 3. This eliminates momentary shorts during address changes, critical for sensor multiplexing integrity.
Is the exposed thermal pad on the DG9408EDN-T1-GE4 QFN package electrically connected?
No. The central exposed pad on the DG9408EDN-T1-GE4 QFN-16 package has no internal electrical connection to the die. As stated in the "Functional Block Diagram" note on page 1, it may be connected to GND, V+, V−, or left floating - serving solely as a thermal path. PCB layout should use thermal vias to a solid plane for optimal junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
