Analogue switch range spans below 3V

Intersil has expanded its MightyMUX line of high-performance analogue switches with several new devices.

Intersil has expanded its MightyMUX line of high-performance analogue switches with several new devices.

These MightyMUX switches offer best-in-class performance, small form factor and low cost for low-voltage (3V and less), low-on-resistance switching in emerging and next-generation equipment, especially battery powered and miniature products.

In addition, the new MightyMUX products address the high-performance requirements of precision medical imaging, monitoring, communications and test/measurement instruments.

Older switch process technologies just can't meet the physical and electrical requirements of these new-world applications.

Intersil's newest series of precision analogue switches operate from a single +2.7 to +12V supply and feature industry-leading figures of merit including; guaranteed on-resistance flatness across voltage and temperature, very low nanoampere leakage currents (less than 10nA) to preserve hold times in sample-and-hold-circuits, low nanosecond switching speeds (45ns on, 15ns off) to reduce propagation delays in timing sensitive applications and very low picocoulomb charge injection (less than 5pC) to maintain signal integrity.

The company is aggressively expanding its broad range of analogue switches, multiplexers and crosspoints with a steady stream of new-products including single and dual-supply, high-performance switches in standard configurations (SPST, SPDT, DPDT) from one to four per IC.

Many new 4:1 and 8:1 high-performance multiplexer are also being released.

Intersil MightyMUX switches are offered in board-saving small outline transistor (SOT23) packages, small outline IC (SOIC) packages, mini small outline packages (MSOP) and tiny, near-chip-sized, 3 x 3mm quad flat no-lead (QFN) packages.

In addition, MightyMUX switches carry a minimum 2kV ESD rating per Method 3015.7 to help ensure no failures during manufacturing or handling.

This combination of features makes Intersil's MightyMUX switches ideal for low-power, space-constrained and precision applications.
