DG442CJ+ - 85Ω Quad SPST Analog Switch | Maxim Integrated
N.º da peça: DG442CJ+ ✓ AtivoDG442CJ+ Visão geral
An analog switch is an electronic routing component that connects or disconnects signal paths under digital control. A SPST switch provides one selectable path, while the DG442CJ+ combines four independent switches in one IC. The normally open configuration leaves each path disconnected until its control signal activates it. Within the interface-IC hierarchy, this device is a CMOS analog switch that bridges external analog circuitry and control logic.
The DG442CJ+ uses an 85Ω on-resistance and supports bidirectional operation. Maxim redesigned the DG441 and DG442 families to guarantee on-resistance matching of 4Ω maximum between switches and on-resistance flatness of 9Ω maximum over the signal range. These characteristics help reduce channel-to-channel error when several switched paths must present similar impedance to the source or load.
Switching timing includes approximately 170ns and 250ns figures identified for the device family, while the listed off-leakage is 500pA. These characteristics make the switch suitable for moderate-bandwidth analog paths, particularly where low leakage matters more than sub-nanosecond switching performance. The device is identified as a commercial-grade, through-hole part in a rectangular 16-pin PDIP package measuring approximately 0.300 inch wide, or 7.62mm.
Typical uses include test-equipment signal routing, precision measurement front ends, audio path selection, data acquisition systems, and industrial control interfaces. Four integrated switches reduce component count compared with four separate single-switch packages, while the parallel normally open structure simplifies channel isolation. The 85Ω impedance should be included in the source and load calculations because it can attenuate high-impedance signals and limit operation at higher frequencies.
PCB design should preserve short analog traces, provide a solid ground reference, and keep switching-node capacitance away from sensitive input paths. Because the device is a normally open SPST switch, evaluate whether break-before-make behavior satisfies the application’s interruption requirements. Use the manufacturer pin-description table and typical application circuits when assigning control signals and confirming the connection sequence.
This page combines package details, verified distributor records, drop-in replacement guidance, comparison parameters, and practical routing considerations to support faster component selection. It also distinguishes confirmed electrical and package facts from parameters that require confirmation in the manufacturer datasheet.

Aplicações típicas
DG442CJ+ é adequado para 6 aplicaçãos: Data Acquisition Multiplexing, Precision Test and Measurement, Audio Signal Routing, Industrial Control Signal Isolation, Sample-and-Hold Signal Selection, Interface Signal Multiplexing.
Data Acquisition Multiplexing
The DG442CJ+ fits a four-channel data-acquisition multiplexer because it combines four normally open SPST paths in one 16-PDIP package. Its 85Ω on-resistance adds a predictable series impedance, while the 4Ω maximum matching between switches helps limit channel-dependent gain variation. A controller can select one sensor or test node at a time, reducing external switching hardware and board area. The approximately 170ns and 250ns switching-time figures must be included in the acquisition settling budget, and the 500pA off-leakage value should be checked against high-impedance sensor requirements.
Recomendado
Precision Test and Measurement
The DG442CJ+ is useful for routing instrument signals among DUT pins, reference nodes, and measurement inputs. The four SPST channels provide isolated, normally open paths, while 85Ω on-resistance and 4Ω maximum matching make the switch suitable when channel impedance consistency matters. Its bidirectional conduction allows either source or measurement direction. Because the switch is not a zero-impedance relay, precision applications should include the 85Ω path resistance, leakage, and switching transients in the uncertainty budget, and should verify the manufacturer’s recommended settling and grounding practices.
Recomendado
Audio Signal Routing
The DG442CJ+ can route audio signals through four normally open analog paths when the 85Ω impedance and approximately 170ns to 250ns transition times are acceptable. Bidirectional conduction supports source-to-destination routing in either direction, and the four integrated switches reduce the footprint compared with separate single-switch devices. For audio designs, keep routing traces short, maintain a continuous ground reference, and confirm distortion, off-leakage, and off-impedance requirements in the complete manufacturer electrical table. The switch should normally be positioned near the source or destination rather than beside noisy switching circuitry.
Recomendado
Industrial Control Signal Isolation
The DG442CJ+ is appropriate for isolating or selecting low-voltage control signals in industrial equipment when four independent SPST channels are useful. Its normally open contacts prevent unintended path closure before control, while break-before-make operation protects against direct signal-path overlap during transitions. The 85Ω on-resistance should be included when driving a high-impedance input or control network. Keep the analog routing section physically separated from motor, relay, and power-converter switching nodes to prevent coupling, and verify the device’s control logic thresholds and supply limits before tying it to a particular industrial controller.
Recomendado
Sample-and-Hold Signal Selection
The DG442CJ+ can select among several analog inputs in a simple sample-and-hold front end because each SPST path provides a normally open connection to a common downstream node. The 85Ω switch resistance contributes to the source impedance seen by the sampling circuit, while 500pA off-leakage can influence settling when the source impedance is high. Designers should allow adequate acquisition time after switching and account for charge injection and hold behavior in the timing budget. Placing the switch close to the sampling node minimizes parasitic capacitance and helps isolate the held node from switching transients.
Recomendado
Interface Signal Multiplexing
The DG442CJ+ fits interface boards that need to share a limited number of external connector pins among internal analog functions. Four normally open channels can route a selected source to a common line without requiring four separate connector pads, and the 1:1 topology preserves signal polarity. Bidirectional conduction makes the device useful for both sourcing and monitoring. The 85Ω impedance must remain compatible with the receiving device’s input threshold and cable capacitance, while approximately 170ns and 250ns switching-time values define the minimum settling interval. A solid ground plane and short traces reduce crosstalk between the four selected paths.

Notas de projeto
Treat the 85Ω on-resistance as part of the source impedance driving the selected load. For a high-impedance receiver, verify attenuation and settling; for a low-impedance load, confirm that the switch current remains within its specified limits. Place the DG442CJ+ close to the selected signal source or receiving amplifier, use short traces, and avoid routing adjacent switched nodes in parallel where coupling could increase crosstalk.
Do not substitute the normally open DG442CJ+ for a normally closed part without reviewing the system behavior. Break-before-make operation can create a short interruption between old and new paths, which is desirable in many routing circuits but can produce an invalid transient in applications expecting overlap. Add control dead time where required and verify the exact DG442 pin-description table before assigning control inputs.
Use a low-impedance ground plane and decouple the device supply according to the manufacturer application circuit. Keep the analog signal pins and their associated traces away from clocks, relay contacts, inductors, and power-switching nodes. Because this is a through-hole 16-PDIP package, preserve adequate spacing from heat sources and avoid long unprotected signal stubs that can increase pickup and settling time.
For measurement and audio paths, connect the device ground directly to the quiet analog ground region and return switched-node currents by the shortest practical route. If the control signals originate in a noisy digital domain, keep their traces away from high-impedance inputs and use the circuit arrangement shown in the manufacturer datasheet. Do not rely on package proximity alone as evidence of equivalent pin functions when evaluating a substitute.
