ON Semiconductor MC74HC4316N Quad Analog Switch/Multiplexer/Demultiplexer

The ON Semiconductor MC74HC4316N is a versatile and high-performance quad analog switch/multiplexer/demultiplexer IC that is designed to cater to a wide range of applications in the electronics industry. This integrated circuit is part of the high-speed CMOS family and is fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technology, ensuring low power consumption and a high noise immunity characteristic of CMOS integrated circuits.

The MC74HC4316N contains four independent switches capable of controlling either digital or analog signals. This quad switch is bilateral, which means it can pass signals in either direction. Each switch has its own control input which enables the connection or disconnection of each switch independently, providing great flexibility for routing signals in complex circuit designs.

Key features of the MC74HC4316N include:

• Wide Operating Voltage Range: The device operates over a wide voltage range from 2V to 6V, making it compatible with TTL, CMOS, and other logic families.
• Low Quiescent Current: The low power consumption is a hallmark of this device, with a typical quiescent current of 2nA, which is ideal for battery-operated applications.
• High Speed: The MC74HC4316N boasts a typical switch enable time of 18ns and disable time of 12ns, allowing for fast switching of signals which is crucial in high-speed applications.
• Low ON Resistance: The switch exhibits a low ON resistance, typically around 70Ω at a 4.5V supply voltage, which minimizes signal attenuation.
• Bidirectional Signal Handling: Each switch can handle both analog and digital signals in either direction, supporting multiplexing and demultiplexing applications.
• High Noise Immunity: A characteristic of CMOS devices, the MC74HC4316N provides high immunity to electrical noise, which is essential for reliable operation in electrically noisy environments.

This device is offered in a plastic DIP-16 package and is specified for operation from -55°C to +125°C, ensuring reliable performance across a broad range of temperatures. The MC74HC4316N is ideal for use in signal gating, chopper, modulator, demodulator, and CMOS logic implementation. With its robust design and versatile functionality, the MC74HC4316N from ON Semiconductor is a solid choice for designers looking for a reliable quad analog switch/multiplexer/demultiplexer solution.
