DG506AAK/883

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The DG506AAK/883 is a hermetic single-ended 16-channel CMOS analog multiplexer in a 28-pin CerDIP package. It features a low on-resistance of 240 ohms and operates with symmetric dual supplies ranging from ±4.5 V to ±18 V. The device includes an enable input for system selection, TTL and CMOS compatible logic inputs, and break-before-make switching action. It provides a wide analog signal range up to the supply rails and offers low power consumption of 30 mW. Transition time is specified at 600 ns, and it supports a 44-V power supply rating.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify that the component is sourced as a genuine Vishay Siliconix product with the correct military suffix. Confirm the package type matches the required hermetic specifications. Check for any discontinuation notices or obsolescence status before finalizing procurement plans.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this part when hermetic sealing is mandatory for environmental protection. Ensure the application requires single-ended multiplexing rather than differential signals. Verify that the voltage levels and current requirements align with the specified absolute maximum ratings.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This component belongs to the DG506A_MIL series manufactured by Vishay Siliconix. It is designed as a high-reliability alternative to standard plastic packaged versions. The device is fabricated using the PLUS-40 process which includes improved ESD protection and latch-up prevention capabilities.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

For non-hermetic applications, the DG406 or DG407 are recommended as pin-for-pin replacements. These alternatives offer similar functionality but lack the hermetic sealing required for harsh environments.
