GENERAL D ESCRIP TIO N
The SSM2402/SSM2412 are dual analog switches designed spe-
cifically for high performance audio applications. Distortion and
noise are negligible over the full audio operating range of 20 Hz to
20 kH z at signal levels of up to 10 V rms. T he SSM2402/
SSM2412 offer a monolithic integrated alternative to expensive
and noisy relays or complex discrete JFET circuits. Unlike conven-
tional general-purpose CMOS switches, the SSM2402/SSM2412
provide superb fidelity without audio “clicks” during switching.
Conventional T T L or CMOS logic can be used to control the
switch state. No external pull-up resistors are needed. A “T ”
configuration provides superb OFF-isolation and true bilateral
operation. T he analog inputs and outputs are protected against
overload and overvoltage.

An important feature is the guaranteed “break-before-make”
for all units, even IC-to-IC. In large systems with multiple
switching channels, all separate switching units must open be-
fore any switch goes into the ON-state. With the SSM2402/
SSM2412, you can be certain that multiple circuits will all
break-before-make.
T he SSM2402/SSM2412 represent a significant step forward in
audio switching technology. Distortion and switching noise are
significantly reduced in the new SSM2402/SSM2412 bipolar-
JFET switches relative to CMOS switching technology. Based
on a new circuit topology that optimizes audio performance,
the SSM2402/SSM2412 make use of a proprietary bipolar-
JFET process with thin-film resistor network capability. Nitride
capacitors, which are very area efficient, are used for the propri-
etary ramp generator that controls the switch resistance transi-
tion. Very wide bandwidth amplifiers control the gate-to-source
voltage over the full audio operating range for each switch. T he
ON-resistance remains constant with changes in signal amplitude
and frequency, thus distortion is very low, less than 0.01% max.

T he SSM2402 is the first analog switch truly optimized for
high-performance audio applications. For broadcasting and
other switching applications which require a faster switching
time, we recommend the SSM2412—a dual analog switch with
one-third of the switching time of the SSM2402.
