The DG506A/DG507A are monolithic CMOS analog multiplexers from Maxim. The DG506A is a single 16-channel (1 of 16) multiplexer and the DG507A is a differential 8-chan- nel (2 of 16) multiplexer. Both devices feature break-before-make switching. Maxim guarantees that these multiplexers will not latch- up 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.
The DG506A and DG507A are monolithic CMOS analog multiplexers offered by Maxim Integrated. The DG506A is a single 16‑channel device, while the DG507A provides a differential 8‑channel configuration. Both parts feature break‑before‑make switching, latch‑up‑proof construction, and operate from +4.5 V to +18 V supplies.
The datasheet details absolute maximum ratings, electrical characteristics such as on‑resistance and leakage, dynamic switching times, and available package types (28‑pin CERDIP, plastic DIP, and wide‑SO). It also includes ordering information, truth tables, and revision history for design reference.
