DG527AK

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Overview

The DG527AK is a CMOS latched dual 8-channel analog multiplexer manufactured by Harris Corporation, now part of Analog Devices. It features two independent 8-to-1 multiplexing circuits within a single package. The device operates with a wide supply voltage range from 10.8 V to 16.5 V on either a single or dual power supply. Key electrical specifications include a maximum on-resistance of 700 Ohms and a typical off-isolation of 68 dB. It supports microprocessor-compatible control signals with a write pulse width as short as 100 ns. The component is designed for extended plastic temperature operation ranging from -40°C to +85°C.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer lineage carefully, as Harris Corporation's semiconductor division was acquired by Analog Devices. Ensure the datasheet corresponds to the ADI era documentation to confirm pinout and electrical parameter consistency. Check for RoHS compliance status depending on the specific production batch date code.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Selection Notes

Select this component when dual isolated 8-channel switching is required within a compact footprint. Compare the 700 Ohm on-resistance limit against load requirements. Verify that the 100 ns write pulse capability meets the system bus timing constraints. Consider the SOIC-28 or PLCC package availability relative to PCB layout restrictions.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Part Context

The DG527AK belongs to the ADG526A/ADG527A family of CMOS analog switches. This series serves as a superior alternative to older silicon-gate devices like the DG526/DG527. The 'K' suffix typically denotes a specific package variant, often the ceramic DIP or plastic DIP, distinct from the 'Z' suffix used for lead-free surface mount packages in later Analog Devices nomenclature.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Replacement Considerations

The ADG527AKPZ is a direct functional replacement offering identical electrical performance in a 28-PLCC surface-mount package. Designers must adapt the PCB footprint when transitioning from the through-hole DG527AK to the surface-mount ADG527 variants.
