The DG201A are normally closed, quad single-pole single-throw (SPST) analog switches. These CMOS switches can be continuously operated with power supplies ranging from ±4.5V to ±18V. Maxim guarantees that these switches will not latch up if the power supplies are disconnected with input signals still connected.

Both devices have guaranteed break-before-make switching. The DG201A differs from the DG211 primarily in switching speeds. The DG201A has a maximum turn-off time of 450ns and a maximum turn-on time of 600ns.

Compared to the original manufacturer's products, Maxim's DG201A consume significantly lower power making them better suited for portable applications.
