DG528BK Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DG528BK is an 8:1 analog multiplexer IC manufactured by Vishay Siliconix, designed for signal routing and switching applications in analog circuits. This component features a single 8:1 multiplexer circuit with 450Ohm on-state resistance and operates on dual supply voltages (±15V). The DG528BK is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DG528BK is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • Multiplexer Configuration: Must be 8:1 to maintain functional equivalence
  • Number of Circuits: Must be 1 circuit
  • On-State Resistance: Must be 450Ohm maximum to preserve signal integrity
  • Channel-to-Channel Matching (ΔRon): Must be 27Ohm or better for consistent channel performance
  • Channel Capacitance: Must match 5pF and 25pF specifications
  • Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C ~ 85°C minimum
  • Supply Voltage Compatibility: Substitute must operate within the system's dual supply voltage range

The DG508ADJ+ from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated qualifies as a substitute based on matching multiplexer configuration (8:1), circuit count (1), on-state resistance (450Ohm), channel matching (27Ohm), channel capacitance (5pF, 25pF), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). The substitute operates on a wider dual supply voltage range (±4.5V ~ 18V), which encompasses the DG528BK's ±15V requirement.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DG508ADJ+ is the qualified substitute for the obsolete DG528BK based on functional parameter equivalence. Key considerations for selection:

Product Status: The DG528BK is obsolete, while the DG508ADJ+ maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability.

Compliance: The DG508ADJ+ is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the DG528BK is non-compliant. Systems requiring RoHS compliance must use the DG508ADJ+ substitute.

Electrical Performance: Both parts maintain identical on-state resistance (450Ohm), channel matching (27Ohm), and channel capacitance specifications. The DG508ADJ+ provides superior leakage current performance (1nA vs. 5nA), reducing power consumption in low-signal applications.

Supply Voltage: The DG508ADJ+ operates across ±4.5V ~ 18V, providing greater flexibility than the DG528BK's fixed ±15V specification. Systems operating at ±15V are fully supported.

Package Consideration: The DG528BK uses an 18-CDIP package, while the DG508ADJ+ uses a 16-DIP package. PCB layout modifications are required for substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DG508ADJ+ directly replace the DG528BK without circuit modifications?

A: The DG508ADJ+ is electrically equivalent for multiplexer function, on-state resistance, and channel matching. However, the package differs (16-DIP vs. 18-CDIP), requiring PCB layout changes. Pin configuration must be verified against both datasheets before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of the lower leakage current in the DG508ADJ+?

A: The DG508ADJ+ exhibits 1nA maximum leakage current compared to the DG528BK's 5nA. This improvement reduces off-channel signal feedthrough and power consumption, particularly beneficial in precision analog signal routing applications.

Q: Does the DG508ADJ+ support the same ±15V supply voltage as the DG528BK?

A: Yes. The DG508ADJ+ operates across ±4.5V ~ 18V, which encompasses the DG528BK's ±15V specification. Systems designed for ±15V operation are fully compatible.

Q: Are there any RoHS compliance implications when substituting the DG528BK?

A: The DG528BK is RoHS non-compliant, while the DG508ADJ+ is ROHS3 compliant. New designs or systems requiring RoHS compliance must use the DG508ADJ+ substitute.

Q: What are the pin count differences between these parts?

A: The DG528BK is packaged in 18-CDIP with 18 pins, while the DG508ADJ+ uses 16-DIP with 16 pins. Pin mapping differences require careful verification during circuit redesign.
