DG190AP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DG190AP is a 2-circuit SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) analog switch manufactured by Vishay Siliconix, designed for signal routing and multiplexing applications in analog systems. This component features dual 2:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer circuits with 30Ohm on-state resistance and operates across a wide temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The DG190AP is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support, design updates, and procurement continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DG190AP is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

  • Switch circuit type: SPDT configuration
  • Circuit count: 2 independent circuits
  • Multiplexer ratio: 2:1
  • Package type: 16-DIP form factor with 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch
  • Mounting method: Through-hole compatibility

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

  • On-state resistance: Maximum 35Ohm (allowing up to 5Ohm increase from 30Ohm baseline)
  • Supply voltage compatibility: Dual supply operation (±V range)
  • Switch timing: Ton/Toff within acceptable operating margins
  • Operating temperature: Minimum -55°C to 125°C range coverage
  • Leakage current: Acceptable for signal integrity in target application

The MAX303CPE+ meets all primary substitution criteria and maintains functional equivalence within the secondary parameter tolerances established for this component category.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MAX303CPE+ as Primary Substitute:

The MAX303CPE+ manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated is the recommended equivalent for DG190AP replacement. This substitution is based on:

  • Identical SPDT 2-circuit 2:1 multiplexer architecture
  • Matching 16-DIP through-hole package with identical pinout
  • Functional parameter alignment within acceptable engineering tolerances
  • Active product status ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability
  • ROHS3 compliance supporting modern manufacturing and environmental requirements
  • Improved electrical performance characteristics (lower leakage current, faster turn-off time)

Critical Consideration:

The MAX303CPE+ operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C) is narrower than the DG190AP range (-55°C to 125°C). Applications requiring operation below 0°C or above 70°C must verify alternative solutions or confirm that the MAX303CPE+ temperature limits are acceptable for the specific deployment environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAX303CPE+ directly replace DG190AP without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both components use identical 16-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole packages with matching pinouts. Direct socket substitution is possible without PCB redesign.

Q: What is the impact of the 5Ohm on-state resistance increase (30Ohm to 35Ohm)?

A: The resistance increase affects signal attenuation and power dissipation in analog switching applications. For most signal routing and multiplexing functions, this 16.7% increase is within acceptable tolerances. Applications with strict impedance matching or high-current switching should perform circuit analysis to confirm compatibility.

Q: Why does MAX303CPE+ have higher channel capacitance values?

A: The increased capacitance (CS(off) from 9pF to 12pF; CD(off) from 6pF to 12pF) may affect high-frequency performance and signal integrity. For applications operating above 1MHz, verify that the capacitance increase does not degrade bandwidth or introduce unacceptable signal distortion.

Q: Is the narrower operating temperature range of MAX303CPE+ a limitation?

A: The MAX303CPE+ operates from 0°C to 70°C, compared to DG190AP's -55°C to 125°C range. This is a significant constraint for applications requiring extended temperature operation. Confirm that your system operates within the 0°C to 70°C window before substitution.

Q: What are the advantages of MAX303CPE+ over DG190AP?

A: The MAX303CPE+ offers lower leakage current (500pA vs. 1nA), faster turn-off time (100ns vs. 130ns), ROHS3 compliance, and active product status with guaranteed long-term availability. These improvements enhance system performance and support modern manufacturing standards.

Q: Are there any supply voltage compatibility issues?

A: No. The DG190AP operates at ±15V dual supply, which falls within the MAX303CPE+ operating range of ±4.5V to ±20V. Existing power supply configurations require no modification.

Q: What packaging options are available for MAX303CPE+?

A: The MAX303CPE+ is supplied in Tube packaging. Verify that your procurement and assembly processes accommodate this packaging format.
