Precision multiplexer can switch signals with minimal error

Texas Instruments’ MUX506 and MUX507 (MUX50x) are modern complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) precision analog multiplexers (muxes). The MUX506 offers 16:1 single-ended channels, whereas the MUX507 offers differential 8:1 or dual 8:1 single-ended channels. They work equally well with either dual supplies (±5V to ±18V) or a single supply (10V to 36V). These devices also perform well with symmetric supplies (such as VDD = 12V, VSS = –12V), and unsymmetric supplies (such as VDD = 12V, VSS = –5V). All digital inputs have transistor-transistor logic (TTL) compatible thresholds, providing both TTL and CMOS logic compatibility when operating in the valid supply voltage range. The devices have very low on and off-leakage currents, allowing these multiplexers to switch signals from high input impedance sources with minimal error. A low supply current of 45µA enables use in power-sensitive applications.
