The DG202 and DG212 are quad single-pole, single-throw (SPST) analog switches designed for high-performance signal switching applications. These CMOS-based switches operate with a wide supply voltage range and are compatible with both CMOS and TTL logic levels. The devices are monolithic, low-power switches that do not require an additional VL supply, making them ideal for a variety of analog and digital switching applications. The DG202/DG212 are non-latching, ensuring reliable operation even when power supplies are turned off while input signals are present.
The DG202/DG212 analog switches exhibit excellent electrical performance across their specified operating range. Key specifications include:
The DG202/DG212 are available in industry-standard packages for easy integration into various system designs:
The 16-pin devices have the following pinout:
The DG202/DG212 consist of four independent SPST switches controlled by CMOS/TTL compatible logic inputs. When the control input is high, the switch turns on, creating a low-resistance path between source and drain terminals. The switches exhibit excellent linearity when on and high isolation when off. The devices feature break-before-make switching action to prevent momentary shorting during switching transitions.
The DG202/DG212 are manufactured using Maxim's high-reliability CMOS process and undergo rigorous quality testing. Key reliability metrics include:
When designing with the DG202/DG212, consider the following:
