Vishay Introduces New Analog Switch Product Families Built on Advanced Silicon Process That Improves Analog Circuit Performan...
September 01 2016 - 10:00AM
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH) today announced that it is
upgrading several Vishay Siliconix analog switch products to boost
device performance and longevity. Replacing aging silicon
technology with an advanced process that improves a range of device
parameters while ensuring a useful lifetime well into the future,
the move signals Vishay’s continuing support for its analog switch
and multiplexer product lines, which the company pioneered in the
1960s.
The new enhanced family of analog switches and multiplexers
introduced by Vishay Siliconix is designed on a high-density 18 V
process. The process not only offers an upgrade path for customers
using Vishay’s current 12 V series products, but also enables
Vishay to develop new precision analog products with higher
complexity for sensitive analog designs.
Key improvements to device specifications include an increase of
the operating voltage from 12 V to 16 V; lower leakage, reduced
parasitic capacitance, and faster switching speeds; and enhanced
ruggedness, with higher latch-up current and ESD protection
ratings. For example, the new DG9408E and DG9409E — drop-in
upgrades for the popular DG9408 and DG9409 — feature 20 % lower
switch on-resistance, 10 % faster switching speeds, 35 % lower
parasitic capacitance, enhanced latch-up capability to 400 mA, and
guaranteed ESD protection to 2.5 kV (human body model).
Vishay is building the new devices on a mature process platform
in an established facility with an eye towards shortening lead
times and fully supporting the long life cycles of these analog
switch products, which are widely used in such market applications
as industrial control and automation systems, audio and video
signal routing, instrumentation and test equipment, data
acquisition, communication systems, and medical and healthcare
systems.
The 12 V device families being upgraded to enhanced versions are
summarized in the table below.

“These new products are the first in a series of innovative
analog devices that this new process enables. We’re confident that
customers who adopt these new products will see performance
improvements in their precision analog circuit designs,” said Roy
Shoshani, vice president, power ICs at Vishay. “We know that our
customers designing for applications such as industrial,
instrumentation, and healthcare require long product life cycles,
and this new platform will support that while providing improved
performance and ruggedness. In addition, improved manufacturing
will result in shorter lead times, making product more readily
available.”
Samples and production quantities of the enhanced analog switch
products are available now, with lead times of 10 weeks.
