GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
The ADG451/ADG452/ADG453 are monolithic CMOS 
devices comprising four independently selectable switches. 
They are designed on an enhanced LC
2
MOS process that 
provides low power dissipation yet gives high switching 
speed and low on resistance. 
The on resistance profile is very flat over the full analog input 
range, ensuring excellent linearity and low distortion when 
switching audio signals. Fast switching speed, coupled with high 
signal bandwidth, makes the parts suitable for video signal 
switching. CMOS construction ensures ultralow power dissipa-
tion, making the parts ideally suited for portable and battery-
powered instruments. 
The ADG451/ADG452/ADG453 contain four independent, 
single-pole/single-throw (SPST) switches. The ADG451 and 
ADG452 differ only in that the digital control logic is inverted. The 
ADG451 switches are turned on with a logic low on the appropriate 
control input, while a logic high is required for the ADG452.

Figure 3. ADG453 
The ADG453 has two switches with digital control logic similar 
to that of the ADG451, while the logic is inverted on the other 
two switches. 
Each switch conducts equally well in both directions when on, 
and each has an input signal range that extends to the supplies. 
In the off condition, signal levels up to the supplies are blocked. 
The ADG453 exhibits break-before-make switching action for 
use in multiplexer applications. Inherent in the design is low 
charge injection for minimum transients when switching the 
digital inputs.
