The MC74HC4851ANG is a high-performance, single 8-channel analog multiplexer/demultiplexer manufactured by ON Semiconductor, a leading supplier in the semiconductor industry. This versatile component is designed to handle both digital and analog signals, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, including signal routing in communication systems, data acquisition systems, and test equipment.

Built with silicon gate CMOS technology, the MC74HC4851ANG offers low power consumption and high noise immunity, characteristic of the HC family of products. It is capable of operating with a wide range of supply voltages, from 2V to 6V, which makes it suitable for use in battery-operated devices and other low-voltage applications. The device also features low "ON" resistance and low "OFF" leakage current, ensuring efficient and reliable performance.

The MC74HC4851ANG provides a single-ended 8-channel multiplexing capability, which can be controlled by 3 digital select inputs (S0, S1, and S2). Additionally, it has an inhibit input to disable all channels simultaneously. The device is bidirectional and can be used as either a multiplexer or demultiplexer, offering flexibility in signal management.

The package type for this component is PDIP-16 (Plastic Dual-In-Line Package), which is a widely used package for through-hole mounting, offering ease of integration into various circuit boards. The device also features break-before-make switching action, which prevents momentary shorting when switching between channels.

Key specifications of the MC74HC4851ANG include:

• Low ON Resistance: 70 Ω (Typ) at VCC = 4.5V
• Low Crosstalk between Switches
• Fast Switching and Propagation Speeds
• Wide Operating Voltage Range: 2V to 6V
• Low Power Consumption: 20 nA (Typ) Static
• Chip Complexity: 130 FETs or 32.5 Equivalent Gates

Whether you are developing a complex communication system or a simple signal routing application, the ON Semiconductor MC74HC4851ANG offers the performance, reliability, and flexibility needed to meet your design requirements.
