GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
The ADG1421/ADG1422/ADG1423 contain two independent 
single-pole/single-throw (SPST) switches. The ADG1421 and 
ADG1422 differ only in that the digital control logic is inverted. 
The ADG1421 switches are turned on with Logic 1 on the 
appropriate control input, and Logic 0 is required for the 
ADG1422. The ADG1423 has one switch with digital control 
logic similar to that of the ADG1421; the logic is inverted on 
the other switch. The ADG1423 exhibits break-before-make 
switching action for use in multiplexer applications. Each 
switch conducts equally well in both directions when on and 
has an input signal range that extends to the supplies. In the 
off condition, signal levels up to the supplies are blocked. 
The iCMOS® (industrial CMOS) modular manufacturing process 
combines high voltage, complementary metal-oxide semiconductor 
(CMOS) and bipolar technologies. It enables the development 
of a wide range of high performance analog ICs capable of 33 V 
operation in a footprint that no other generation of high voltage 
parts has achieved. Unlike analog ICs using conventional CMOS 
processes, iCMOS components can tolerate high supply voltages 
while providing increased performance, dramatically lower 
power consumption, and reduced package size.

The on resistance profile is very flat over the full analog input 
range ensuring excellent linearity and low distortion when 
switching audio signals. The iCMOS construction ensures 
ultralow power dissipation, making the part ideally suited for 
portable and battery-powered instruments.
