General Description
These analog multiplexers/demultiplexers are digitally controlled analog switches having low ‘‘ON’’ impedance and
very low ‘‘OFF’’ leakage currents. Control of analog signals
up to 15Vp-p can be achieved by digital signal amplitudes of
3 – 15V. For example, if VDD e 5V, VSS e 0V and VEE eb5V,
analog signals from b5V to a 5V can be controlled by digital inputs of 0–5V. The multiplexer circuits dissipate extremely low quiescent power over the full VDDbVSS and
VDDbVEE supply voltage ranges, independent of the logic
state of the control signals. When a logical ‘‘1’’ is present at
the inhibit input terminal all channels are ‘‘OFF’’.
CD4051BM/CD4051BC is a single 8-channel multiplexer
having three binary control inputs. A, B, and C, and an inhibit
input. The three binary signals select 1 of 8 channels to be
turned ‘‘ON’’ and connect the input to the output.
CD4052BM/CD4052BC is a differential 4-channel multiplexer having two binary control inputs, A and B, and an inhibit
input. The two binary input signals select 1 or 4 pairs of
channels to be turned on and connect the differential analog inputs to the differential outputs.
CD4053BM/CD4053BC is a triple 2-channel multiplexer
having three separate digital control inputs, A, B, and C, and

an inhibit input. Each control input selects one of a pair of
channels which are connected in a single-pole double-throw
configuration.
