Maxim’s DG506A/DG507A are monolithic CMOS analog multiplexers. The DG506A is a single 16-channel (1 of 16) multiplexer and the DG507A is a differential 8-channel (2 of 16) multiplexer. Both devices feature break-before-make switching. Maxim guarantees that these multiplexers will not latchup if the power supplies are turned off with the input signals still present as long as absolute maximum ratings are not violated. The multiplexers operate over a wide range of power supplies from Q4.5V to Q18V. Compared to the original manufacturer’s devices, Maxim’s DG506A/DG507A consume significantly less power, making them ideal for portable equipment. Maxim’s DG506A/DG507A meet or exceed the specifications of, and are drop-in replacements for Intersil’s IH6116 and IH6216, Siliconix’s DG506A and DG507A, and Harris’ HI506 and HI507.
