8.1. Overview
The NMUX1309 is a general purpose analog switch with a 2 poles, each of which can be
configured to select between one of four possible connection paths (2x SP4T). Each analog
connection path is bi-directional, with similar electrical characteristics independent of the direction
of signal propagation.
8.2. Key features
Injection current control
Current injection can occur in systems where an analog voltage can experience transient spikes
due to signal propagation over long distances with high inductance. Voltage exposure above the
supply voltage will source excessive current into an analog input, which is referred to as positive
injection. Voltage exposure below the ground voltage will sink excessive current from an analog
input, which is referred to as negative injection. Both types of injection current elevate the risk of
device damage to an analog input and can introduce a large voltage error to the analog signal
itself.
The NMUX1309 mitigates both risks by integrating an injection current control circuit to divert
both positive injection and negative injection through a bypass FET that connects to GND. This
implementation minimizes any shift in the supply voltage, therefore minimizing any shift in the
device's ON Resistance, and thus minimizes changes in the measured analog voltage. The
injection current control circuit is active on all analog pins, independent of whether the channel is
selected/unselected.
1.8 V Compatible digital logic thresholds
It is common for modern systems to operate digital signals from lower voltage nodes such as 1.8
V, while operating their analog signals at higher voltage nodes such as 3.3 V or 5.0 V. To remove
the requirements for a voltage translation device, the NMUX1309 digital control pins maintain 1.8 V
logic compatible thresholds at higher operating voltages, up to 5.5 V.
Ioff protection circuitry of digital inputs
The NMUX1309 implements Ioff protection circuitry on the digital control pins, isolating those pins
from the internal circuits when the supply is unpowered (i.e., VCC = 0 V). The ESD protection
diodes on the digital input pins do not have a connection path to VCC. If the digital input pins are
biased when the VCC pin is unpowered:
1. The high impedance of the digital input pins minimizes input current leakage.
