Analog Switches, Multiplexers and Demultiplexers

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, and Demultiplexers are integrated circuits designed to route analog and digital signals between multiple source and destination paths based on binary address inputs. Analog switches function like solid-state relays, while multiplexers (muxes) combine multiple inputs into a single output, and demultiplexers (demuxes) route a single signal to one of several outputs with near-zero latency and high signal fidelity.

These components are essential in data acquisition systems, multi-sensor arrays, audio routing boards, automated test equipment (ATE), and communication interfaces. Critical technical specifications include on-resistance (RON), on-resistance flatness (which affects signal linearity), channel leakage current, bandwidth, propagation delay, crosstalk, off-isolation, and operating voltage range (single-supply vs. dual-supply analog rails).

Octatronics lists thousands of analog switches and multiplexers from leading vendors including Analog Devices (MAX and ADG series), Texas Instruments, Nexperia, NXP, onsemi, and Diodes Incorporated. Filter by channel count, on-resistance, package size (SOIC, TSSOP, QFN), and submit RFQs for volume deliveries.
