High-performance Multiplexing with the DG408
Steve Davies
The DG408 and DG409, new multiplexers from Siliconix, represent a new generation of high-performance multiplexers and demultiplexers with many specific improvements over existing products available today. Built with the company’ s high-voltage silicon-gate technology, these new ICs offer significantly reduced on-resistance (<100 W), leakage currents (IS(OFF) < 0.5 nA), power dissipation (2.25 mW), and much faster switching (250 ns) over older industry standards. These improved specifications allow designers to greatly reduce system errors and improve system performance. The DG408 and DG409 will enhance two primary multiplexer and demultiplexer applications: communications and telemetry .
