The TC4512 is an 8-channel analog multiplexer/demultiplexer manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. This device is commonly used to select one of eight analog input signals and route it to a single output, or conversely, route a single input signal to one of eight outputs.

Applications

• Analog Signal Routing
• Data Acquisition Systems
• Automatic Test Equipment (ATE)
• Audio and Video Switching
• Sensor Selection

Features

• 8-Channel Multiplexer/Demultiplexer
• Low On-Resistance
• Wide Operating Voltage Range
• TTL Compatible Control Inputs
• Break-Before-Make Switching

Benefits

• Simplified signal routing reduces board complexity and cost.
• Low on-resistance minimizes signal loss and distortion.
• Wide operating voltage range provides flexibility in system design.
• TTL compatible control inputs allows easy interfacing with digital logic.
• Break-before-make switching prevents signal overlap during channel selection.

Technical Specifications

The TC4512 operates over a wide supply voltage range, typically from 3V to 18V. It features low on-resistance, typically less than 150 ohms. The control inputs are TTL compatible, making it easy to interface with standard digital logic circuits. The device is available in DIP and SOIC packages. Its operating temperature range is typically -40°C to +85°C. The break-before-make switching action ensures that no two channels are simultaneously connected, preventing signal contention.
