DG506BEN-T1-GE3

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The DG506BEN-T1-GE3 is a precision 16-channel single-ended CMOS analog multiplexer manufactured by Vishay Siliconix. It connects one of sixteen inputs to a common output via a 4-bit binary address (A0-A3). The device operates with single or dual power supplies, supporting voltage ranges from ±5 V to ±20 V and up to 44 V maximum rating. Key electrical parameters include an on-resistance of 300 Ω at room temperature, off-isolation of -85 dB at 1 MHz, and charge injection of 1 pC. It features TTL-compatible control inputs, break-before-make switching, and an enable function for stacking devices.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Feature Summary

• Ultra-low switch charge injection and low channel capacitance for superior switching performance
• Break-before-make switching action prevents momentary crosstalk between adjacent channels
• TTL-compatible control inputs over the full specified operating temperature range
• Epitaxial layer prevents latch-up while allowing operation across wide supply voltages

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Applications

• High speed and high precision data acquisition systems
• Audio signal switching and routing
• Automated test equipment (ATE) systems
• Avionics and remote instrumentation applications

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package suffix 'EN' corresponds to the 28-pin PLCC format required for your PCB layout. Confirm that the T1 suffix indicates tape and reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes. Ensure the component meets RoHS3 compliance standards if mandated by your manufacturing regulations.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this part when a single-ended 16:1 multiplexing configuration is required rather than the differential 8:2 setup provided by the DG507B variant. Consider the extended temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C for harsh environments. Evaluate the 300 Ω on-resistance against your signal integrity requirements compared to lower resistance alternatives.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

This component belongs to the DG506B/DG507B series, representing an enhanced version fabricated on an improved SG-II CMOS process. This generation offers reduced charge injection and minimized parasitic capacitance compared to legacy iterations. It serves as a direct replacement for older industry-standard parts like the HI-506.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitutes include the ADG506A and DG506A. Designers may also consider the HI-506 as a functional equivalent. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before substituting these components in existing designs.
