Linear Technology LTC1393CS Multiplexer
The LTC1393CS is a high-performance, 8-channel analog multiplexer from Linear Technology, now part of Analog Devices, designed for precision data acquisition systems and signal processing applications. This versatile integrated circuit allows users to select one of eight single-ended inputs to be passed to the output, enabling efficient multi-point monitoring and control within electronic systems.
Constructed with CMOS technology, the LTC1393CS features a low on-resistance of typically 100 ohms, which minimizes signal attenuation and ensures high signal integrity. Moreover, its on-resistance is matched between channels to within 5 ohms and remains flat over the full analog signal range, providing consistent performance and simplifying system design.
The device operates from a single 5V supply, making it compatible with a wide range of digital systems. Its digital inputs are TTL/CMOS logic compatible, ensuring easy integration with microcontrollers, digital signal processors, and other logic systems. The LTC1393CS also features a "break-before-make" switching action, which prevents momentary shorting of channels during the transition, thus protecting sensitive analog signals from potential damage and noise.
Furthermore, the LTC1393CS boasts a low power consumption, drawing only 5µA of quiescent current, making it an ideal choice for battery-powered and portable applications where power efficiency is critical. Its robust design includes an overvoltage protection of up to ±13V, ensuring the device's reliability and longevity even in harsh electrical environments.
The LTC1393CS is available in a compact 16-pin narrow SOIC package, providing a space-saving solution for densely packed PCBs. Its operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C allows for use in a variety of commercial environments.
With its precise performance, low power consumption, and robust design, the LTC1393CS from Linear Technology is an excellent multiplexer choice for engineers looking to optimize their analog signal routing with reliability and efficiency.
