APPLICATIONS
Each switch conducts equally well in both directions when ON
and has an input signal range that extends to the power sup-
plies. In the OFF condition, signal levels up to the supplies are
blocked. All switches exhibit break-before-make switching action
for use in multiplexer applications. Inherent in the design is low
charge injection for minimum transients when switching the
digital inputs.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADG441, ADG442 and ADG444 are monolithic CMOS
devices comprising four independently selectable switches. They
are designed on an enhanced LC2MOS process that provides
low power dissipation yet gives high switching speed and low on
resistance.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Extended Signal Range
The ADG441/ADG442/ADG444 are fabricated on an en-
hanced LC2MOS, trench-isolated process, giving an in-
creased signal range that extends to the supply rails.
The on resistance profile is very flat over the full analog input
range ensuring good linearity and low distortion when switching
audio signals. High switching speed also makes the parts suit-
able for video signal switching. CMOS construction ensures
ultralow power dissipation making the parts ideally suited for
portable and battery powered instruments.
2. Low Power Dissipation
3. Low RON
4. Trench Isolation Guards Against Latch Up
A dielectric trench separates the P and N channel transistors
thereby preventing latch up even under severe overvoltage
conditions.
The ADG441, ADG442 and ADG444 contain four indepen-
dent SPST switches. Each switch of the ADG441 and ADG444
turns on when a logic low is applied to the appropriate control
input. The ADG442 switches are turned on with a logic high on
the appropriate control input. The ADG441 and ADG444
switches differ in that the ADG444 requires a 5 V logic power
supply which is applied to the VL pin. The ADG441 and
ADG442 do not have a VL pin, the logic power supply being
generated internally by an on-chip voltage generator.
5. Break-Before-Make Switching
This prevents channel shorting when the switches are config-
ured as a multiplexer.
6. Single Supply Operation
For applications where the analog signal is unipolar, the
ADG441/ADG442/ADG444 can be operated from a single
rail power supply. The parts are fully specified with a single
+12 V power supply.
