DG212

The DG202/DG212 are normally open, quad single-pole single-throw (SPST) analog switches. These CMOS switches can be continuously operated with power supplies ranging from ±4.5V to ±18V. Maxim guarantees that these switches will not latch up if the power supplies are disconnected with input signals still connected.

The DG202/DG212 are similar to the DG201/DG211 except for inverted control inputs. All devices have guaranteed break-before-make switching, as well as essentially constant on-resistance over the analog signal range. All switches conduct current in either direction and add no offset to the output signal.

Compared to the original manufacturer's products, Maxim's DG202/DG212 consume very little power, making them better suited for portable applications. Maxim has also eliminated the need for the third logic power supply (V_L) that is required for the operation of the original manufacturer's DG212 without sacrificing compatibility.
