The value of on capacitance [CS(on)] may be reduced. A property known as ‘the body-effect’ on the DMOS switch devices causes various parametric effects to occur. One of these effects is the reduction in CS(on) for an increasing V body-source. Note however that to increase V- normally requires V+ to be reduced (since V+ to V- = 21 V max.). A reduction in V+ causes an increase in rDS(on), hence a compromise has to be achieved. It is also useful to note that tests indicate that optimum video linearity performance (e.g., differential phase and gain) occurs when V- is around - 3 V. 3. V- eliminates the need to bias the analog signal using potential dividers and large coupling capacitors. Device Description The DG641, DG642, DG643 switches offer true bidirectional switching of high frequency analog or digital signals with minimum signal crosstalk, low insertion loss, and negligible non-linearity distortion and group delay. Built on the Siliconix D/CMOS process, these switches provide excellent off-isolation with a bandwidth of around 500 MHz. The silicon-gate D/CMOS processing also yields fast switching speeds. An on-chip regulator circuit maintains TTL input compatibility over the whole operating supply voltage range shown, easing control logic interfacing. Circuit layout is facilitated by the interchangeability of source and drain terminals. Frequency Response A single switch on-channel exhibits both resistance [RDS(on)] and capacitance [CS(on)]. This RC combination has an attenuation effect on the analog signal - which is frequency dependent (like an RC low-pass filter). The - 3 dB bandwidth of the DG641, DG642, DG643 is typically 500 MHz (into 50 ). Power Supplies Power supply flexibility is a useful feature of the DG641, DG642, DG643 series. It can be operated from a single positive supply (V+) if required (V- connected to ground). Decoupling It is an established rf design practice to incorporate sufficient bypass capacitors in the circuit to decouple the power supplies to all active devices in the circuit. The dynamic performance of the DG641, DG642, DG643 series is adversely affected by poor decoupling of power supply pins. Also, of even more significance, since the substrate of the device is connected to the negative supply, adequate decoupling of this pin is essential. Suitable decoupling capacitors are 1- to 10 µF tantalum bead, plus 10- to 100-nF ceramic or polyester. Rules: 1. Note that the analog signal must not exceed V- by more than - 0.3 V to prevent forward biasing the substrate p-n junction. The use of a V- supply has a number of advantages: Decoupling capacitors should be incorporated on all power supply pins (V+, V-). (see figure 7). 2. They should be mounted as close as possible to the device pins. 1. 3. Capacitors should be of a suitable type with good high frequency characteristics - tantalum bead and/or ceramic disc types are adequate. It allows flexibility in analog signal handling, i.e., with V- = - 5 V and V+ = 12 V; up to ± 5 V ac signals can be controlled. www.vishay.com 8 Document Number: 70058 S11-0154-Rev. F, 31-Jan-11 DG641, DG642, DG643 Vishay Siliconix APPLICATIONS Board Layout + 15 V PCB layout rules for good high frequency performance must also be observed to achieve the performance boasted by these analog switches. Some tips for minimizing stray effects are: + C1 C2 V+ S1 S2 D1 Use extensive ground planes on double sided PCB, separating adjacent signal paths. Multilayer PCB is even better. 2. Keep signal paths as short as practically possible, with all channel paths of near equal length. 3. Careful arrangement of ground connections is also very important. Star connected system grounds eliminate signal current, flowing through ground path parasitic resistance, from coupling between channels. D2 DG64X S3 1.

Leadframe materials and design, molding compounds, and die attach materials have been changed, while the footprint of the packages remains the same. See Application Note 826, Recommended Minimum Pad Patterns With Outline Drawing Access for Vishay Siliconix MOSFETs, (http://www.vishay.com/ppg?72286), for the basis of the pad design for a LITTLE FOOT SO-8 power MOSFET. In converting this recommended minimum pad to the pad set for a power MOSFET, designers must make two connections: an electrical connection and a thermal connection, to draw heat away from the package. 0.288 7.3 0.050 1.27 0.196 5.0 0.027 0.69 0.078 1.98 0.2 5.07 Figure 1.

Dual MOSFET SO-8 Pad Pattern With Copper Spreading The minimum recommended pad patterns for the single-MOSFET SO-8 with copper spreading (Figure 1) and dual-MOSFET SO-8 with copper spreading (Figure 2) show the starting point for utilizing the board area available for the heat-spreading copper. To create this pattern, a plane of copper overlies the drain pins. The copper plane connects the drain pins electrically, but more importantly provides planar copper to draw heat from the drain leads and start the process of spreading the heat so it can be dissipated into the ambient air. These patterns use all the available area underneath the body for this purpose. Since surface-mounted packages are small, and reflow soldering is the most common way in which these are affixed to the PC board, “thermal” connections from the planar copper to the pads have not been used. Even if additional planar copper area is used, there should be no problems in the soldering process. The actual solder connections are defined by the solder mask openings. By combining the basic footprint with the copper plane on the drain pins, the solder mask generation occurs automatically. A final item to keep in mind is the width of the power traces. The absolute minimum power trace width must be determined by the amount of current it has to carry. For thermal reasons, this minimum width should be at least 0.020 inches. The use of wide traces connected to the drain plane provides a low impedance path for heat to move away from the device. www.vishay.com 1 APPLICATION NOTE In the case of the SO-8 package, the thermal connections are very simple. Pins 5, 6, 7, and 8 are the drain of the MOSFET for a single MOSFET package and are connected together. In a dual package, pins 5 and 6 are one drain, and pins 7 and 8 are the other drain. For a small-signal device or integrated circuit, typical connections would be made with traces that are 0.020 inches wide. Since the drain pins serve the additional function of providing the thermal connection to the package, this level of connection is inadequate. The total cross section of the copper may be adequate to carry the current required for the application, but it presents a large thermal impedance. Also, heat spreads in a circular fashion from the heat source. In this case the drain pins are the heat sources when looking at heat spread on the PC board. 0.288 7.3 Application Note 826 Vishay Siliconix RECOMMENDED MINIMUM PADS FOR SO-8 0.172 (4.369) 0.028 0.022 0.050 (0.559) (1.270) 0.152 (3.861) 0.047 (1.194) 0.246 (6.248) (0.711) Recommended Minimum Pads Dimensions in Inches/(mm) Return to Index APPLICATION NOTE Return to Index www.vishay.com 22 Document Number: 72606 Revision: 21-Jan-08 Application Note 826 Vishay Siliconix RECOMMENDED MINIMUM PADS FOR SO-16 RECOMMENDED MINIMUM PADS FOR SO-16 0.372 (9.449) 0.152 0.022 0.050 0.028 (0.559) (1.270) (0.711) (3.861) 0.246 (6.248) 0.047 (1.194) Recommended Minimum Pads Dimensions in Inches/(mm) Return to Index APPLICATION NOTE Return to Index www.vishay.com 24 Document Number: 72608 Revision: 21-Jan-08 Legal Disclaimer Notice Vishay Disclaimer ALL PRODUCT, PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS AND DATA ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE TO IMPROVE RELIABILITY, FUNCTION OR DESIGN OR OTHERWISE.
