GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADG7421F is a low voltage, dual single-pole/single-throw
(SPST), low on-resistance switch that features overvoltage protec-
tion, power-off protection, and overvoltage detection on the source
pins.
APPLICATIONS
When no power supplies are present, the switch remains in the
off condition, and the switch inputs are high impedance. When
powered, if the analog input signal levels on the Sx pins exceed
VDD or VSS by a threshold voltage, VT, the switch automatically
turns off and the digital FF (fault flag) pin drops to a logic low to
indicate a fault.
► Analog input/output modules
► Process control/distributed control systems
► Data acquisition
► Instrumentation
► Avionics
Input signal levels up to +60 V or −60 V relative to ground
are blocked, in both the powered and unpowered condition. The
switches turn on with a Logic 1 input and conducts equally well in
both directions with an analog signal range of VSS + 0.1 V to VDD
0.55 V for a 5 V single supply. The digital input is compatible with
1.8 V logic inputs over the full operating supply range.
► Automatic test equipment
► Communication systems
► Relay replacement

COMPANION PRODUCTS
The ADG7421F is ideal for providing overvoltage protection for
small signals such as resistance temperature device (RTD) inputs
(see Figure 56) and thermocouple inputs (see Figure 55). The
ability to protect against high voltages up to ±60 V coupled with a
low voltage supply can enable complete low voltage input stages
for industrial applications.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Pin S1 and Pin S2 are protected against voltages greater than
the supply rails, up to ±60 V in both powered and unpowered
states.
2. Overvoltage detection with digital output indicates operating
state of switches.
3. Trench isolation guards against latch-up.
4. The ADG7421F can operate from a dual supply range of ±1.8 V
to ±2.5 V or a single-supply range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V.
