DG421DY+ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DG421DY+ is a 2-circuit IC switch with SPST-NO (Single Pole Single Throw - Normally Open) configuration manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. This component features 35Ohm on-state resistance and operates across a wide supply voltage range of 10V to 30V (single supply) or ±4.5V to 20V (dual supply). The DG421DY+ is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations. The part is housed in a 16-SOIC surface mount package and maintains ROHS3 compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DG421DY+ is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Switch topology: SPST-NO configuration with 2 circuits in 1:1 multiplexer arrangement
  • On-state resistance: Maximum 35Ohm specification
  • Supply voltage compatibility: 10V to 30V single supply or ±4.5V to 20V dual supply operation
  • Package form factor: 16-SOIC surface mount housing with identical 0.154" (3.90mm) width
  • Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C ambient capability
  • Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The MAX301ESE+ meets all substitution criteria as a functionally equivalent part. Both components share identical switch circuit topology, circuit count, on-state resistance specification, supply voltage ranges, operating temperature range, package configuration, and regulatory compliance status. The MAX301ESE+ is currently in active production status, providing long-term availability for replacement and new applications.
