Introduction to CD4051
Hello everyone! I hope you all will be absolutely fine and having fun. I am going to give you a detailed
Introduction to CD4051 today.
CD 4051 is an analog multiplexer and demultiplexer. It has very low OFF leakage current and low ON impedance. Over full voltage ranges, very low power is dissipated by CD-4051.
CD-4051 is an eight (8) channel multiplexer and has three control input named as
A, B and
C. These inputs connect only 1 out of 8 channels to the output in order to obtain the desired output. Channel I/O terminals became outputs and common O/I become input terminals when CD 4051 is used as a demultiplexer. CD-4051 has a lot of amazing features e.g. binary address decoding on chip, break before make switching eliminates channel overlapping, wide ranges of analog signals as well digital signal levels. CD-4051 can be used in signal gating, analog to digital converter, digital to analog converter, analog and digital multiplexing and demultilplexing. The further detail about CD-4051 will be provided later in this article.
Introduction to CD4051
- CD4051 is an 8 channel analog multiplexer & demultiplexer, controlled by digital signal. So, they are commonly referred as Digitally-controlled Analog Switches.
- It has low ON impedance and very low OFF leakage current. It dissipates a very low power over full VDD-VSS & VDD-VEE voltage ranges. eliminatiing channel overlapping and wide ranges of analog signals are its main feature.
- It can be used for analog to digital (A / D) as well as digital to analog (D / A) conversions.
- 16-Pin CD-4051 is shown in the figure given below.
