GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
The ADG408/ADG409 are monolithic CMOS analog multiplexers 
comprising eight single channels and four differential channels, 
respectively. The ADG408 switches one of eight inputs to a 
common output as determined by the 3-bit binary address lines 
A0, A1, and A2. The ADG409 switches one of four differential 
inputs to a common differential output, as determined by the 
2-bit binary address lines A0 and A1. An EN input on both devices 
is used to enable or disable the device. When the device is disabled, 
all channels are switched off. 
The ADG408/ADG409 are designed on an enhanced LC
2
MOS 
process that provides low power dissipation yet gives high 
switching speed and low on resistance. Each channel 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. All channels exhibit break-
before-make switching action, preventing momentary shorting 
when switching channels. Inherent in the design is low 
charge injection for minimum transients when switching the 
digital inputs. 
The ADG408/ADG409 are improved replacements for the 
DG408/DG409 analog multiplexers. 
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS 
1.  Extended Signal Range. The ADG408/ADG409 are 
fabricated on an enhanced LC
2
MOS process, giving an 
increased signal range that extends to the supply rails. 
2.  Low Power Dissipation. 
3.  Low R
ON
. 
4.  Single-Supply Operation. For applications where the 
analog signal is unipolar, the ADG408/ADG409 can be 
operated from a single rail power supply. The parts are 
fully specified with a single 12 V power supply and remain 
functional with single supplies as low as 5 V.
