Maxim Integrated's DG408CY+T Analog Multiplexer

The DG408CY+T from Maxim Integrated is a high-performance, single 8-channel CMOS analog multiplexer that is designed to provide exceptional signal accuracy and integrity in a compact package. This versatile component is a perfect solution for applications that require routing of multiple analog or digital signals to a single destination.

Featuring a wide signal range, the DG408CY+T operates with single or dual supplies, making it a flexible choice for systems that run on different power levels. The device can handle ±15V dual supplies or a single supply ranging from +10V to +30V, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of circuit designs. Its low on-resistance (100 ohms max) and low charge injection (15pC max) ensure minimal signal distortion, which is critical for precision applications.

The DG408CY+T boasts low power consumption, with a typical power supply current of only 1µA, which is ideal for battery-operated and power-sensitive devices. Additionally, the multiplexer has fast switching times, with a transition time of 250ns max, allowing for quick signal routing without lag, which is essential for high-speed data acquisition and test equipment.

Equipped with an inhibit input to simultaneously open all signal paths, the DG408CY+T provides a convenient way to disconnect all channels at once, which can be useful for power-down or calibration modes. The device also features break-before-make switching action, which prevents momentary shorting when switching between channels.

The DG408CY+T comes in a surface-mount SOIC package, which is ideal for space-constrained applications. Its robust design ensures reliable operation over a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for both commercial and industrial environments.

Whether used in data acquisition systems, test equipment, communication devices, or audio/video signal routing, the DG408CY+T from Maxim Integrated offers a high-quality, reliable solution for managing multiple signals with precision and ease.
