Analog Devices Inc. ADG409BRZ

The ADG409BRZ is a high-performance analog multiplexer from Analog Devices Inc., a renowned leader in the semiconductor industry. This precision monolithic device features dual 4-channel multiplexers that are designed to provide efficient data acquisition systems and signal routing in various applications. The ADG409BRZ operates with a single supply range of ±15 V or a dual supply range of ±5 V to ±15 V, offering versatility for different power environments.

Constructed with Analog Devices' proprietary iCMOS® (industrial CMOS) technology, the ADG409BRZ provides an optimal balance between power consumption and speed, ensuring reliable performance in a compact 16-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package. The iCMOS® process technology allows for lower power dissipation, yet the device does not compromise on the fast switching times and high bandwidth that are crucial for modern analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion processes.

One of the standout features of the ADG409BRZ is its low on-resistance, typically around 35 ohms, which remains flat over the full analog input range. This characteristic minimizes signal distortion and ensures excellent linearity, making it an ideal choice for precision data acquisition systems. Moreover, the device exhibits very low charge injection, further enhancing its suitability for high-precision applications.

The ADG409BRZ includes features such as break-before-make switching action, which prevents momentary shorting when switching channels. This is particularly important in avoiding damage to sensitive components or erroneous data during channel-to-channel transitions. Additionally, the multiplexer is equipped with robust ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection, safeguarding the device against static damage that can occur during handling or operation.

Applications for the ADG409BRZ are diverse, ranging from data acquisition systems, test equipment, and battery-powered systems to audio and video signal routing. Its high performance, combined with the reliability and innovation of Analog Devices' technology, makes the ADG409BRZ a preferred choice for engineers and designers who require a dependable multiplexing solution.
