DG308BAK/883 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DG308BAK/883 is a 4-circuit SPST-NO IC switch manufactured by Vishay Siliconix, designed for analog signal switching applications requiring low on-state resistance and minimal crosstalk. This component features an 85Ohm maximum on-state resistance and operates across a wide supply voltage range of 4V to 44V (single supply) or ±4V to ±22V (dual supply). The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DG308BAK/883 is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • Switch topology: SPST-NO configuration with 4 independent circuits in 1:1 multiplexer arrangement
  • On-state resistance: Maximum 85Ohm specification
  • Supply voltage compatibility: Single supply range 4V to 44V or dual supply ±4V to ±22V
  • Package compatibility: 16-pin DIP form factor with 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch for through-hole mounting
  • Electrical performance: Switch timing, charge injection, capacitance, leakage current, and crosstalk characteristics

The MAX362CPE+ from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated meets the core functional requirements of SPST-NO 4-circuit switching with 85Ohm on-state resistance in a compatible 16-DIP package. However, differences exist in supply voltage ranges, operating temperature, and performance specifications that must be evaluated for specific application requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAX362CPE+ is an active, production-available substitute for the obsolete DG308BAK/883. Key considerations for selection:

Compatibility Assessment: Both devices share identical switch topology (SPST-NO, 4 circuits, 1:1 configuration), on-state resistance (85Ohm maximum), and through-hole 16-DIP package footprint. Pin-level compatibility exists for direct board-level substitution.

Supply Voltage Constraints: The DG308BAK/883 operates at single supply 4V to 44V; the MAX362CPE+ operates at 10V to 30V. Applications requiring operation below 10V single supply or above 30V single supply cannot use the MAX362CPE+ as a direct substitute. Dual supply operation differs: DG308BAK/883 supports ±4V to ±22V while MAX362CPE+ supports ±4.5V to ±20V.

Temperature Range Limitation: The DG308BAK/883 operates from -40°C to 85°C; the MAX362CPE+ operates from 0°C to 70°C. Applications requiring operation below 0°C or above 70°C cannot use the MAX362CPE+.

Performance Differences: The MAX362CPE+ exhibits superior crosstalk performance (-100dB @ 1MHz versus -95dB @ 100kHz) and lower channel capacitance (4pF versus 5pF). However, charge injection is higher (5pC versus 1pC) and switch-on time is slower (250ns versus 200ns).

Compliance Status: The MAX362CPE+ is ROHS3 compliant and active in production, whereas the DG308BAK/883 is RoHS non-compliant and obsolete. New designs should prioritize the MAX362CPE+ where voltage and temperature requirements permit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAX362CPE+ directly replace the DG308BAK/883 in existing designs?

A: Direct substitution is possible only if the application operates within the MAX362CPE+ supply voltage range (10V to 30V single supply or ±4.5V to ±20V dual supply) and temperature range (0°C to 70°C). Pin configuration and package footprint are compatible. Applications requiring the extended voltage or temperature range of the DG308BAK/883 require circuit redesign or alternative components.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between these devices?

A: The primary differences are supply voltage operating ranges, temperature range, and dynamic performance. The MAX362CPE+ has lower charge injection (5pC vs 1pC), faster turn-off time (120ns vs 150ns), but slower turn-on time (250ns vs 200ns). Channel capacitance is lower in the MAX362CPE+ (4pF vs 5pF). Crosstalk performance is superior in the MAX362CPE+ (-100dB @ 1MHz vs -95dB @ 100kHz).

Q: Are the packages physically compatible?

A: Both devices use 16-pin DIP packages with 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch. The DG308BAK/883 uses 16-CDIP while the MAX362CPE+ uses 16-PDIP. Both are through-hole mounted and share identical footprints for PCB layout purposes.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each device?

A: The DG308BAK/883 is RoHS non-compliant. The MAX362CPE+ is ROHS3 compliant. Both devices are REACH unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8542.39.0001.

Q: Which device should be selected for new designs?

A: The MAX362CPE+ should be selected for new designs where voltage and temperature requirements are compatible, as it is an active product with ongoing manufacturer support and RoHS3 compliance. The DG308BAK/883 is obsolete and should not be used in new designs.
