ADG212AKPZ Interface - Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Application Field and Working Principle

The ADG212AKPZ is an analog switch, multiplexer, and demultiplexer chip manufactured by Analog Devices with one of the widest application fields in the range of its kind. It is mostly used to multiplex or select between two or more analog and digital signals. The chip comes in two main varieties with 4, 6, 8 and 16 channels and different power supply ratings.

The ADG212AKPZ boasts a low “on resistance” of the operating switches, as compared to other analog switches of the same kind. The low power consumption is another selling point of the chip, along with its wide range of configurations. The ADG212AKPZ can be configured in three modes: digital multiplexer, analog multiplexer and analog switch. Furthermore, the integrated digital control action feature of the chip can be used to achieve signal selection, signal routing and switching.

In the digital multiplexer mode, the ADG212AKPZ can be used to control signal multiplexing. The chip can switch between two or more digital signal sources to control signal selection. The multiplexer can switch between the signal sources in a few nanoseconds and transfer an orderly sequence from one signal source to another.

In the analog multiplexer mode, the chip can be used for analog signal selection and signal routing. The chip is designed to accept multiple analog signals and select one signal at a time and route it to the destination. Since the chip relies on low resistance gates, it can switch and select between analog signals with a much higher speed. The fast switching combined with the low “on” resistance provides a unique level of signal control and signal manipulation.

The ADG212AKPZ is also designed to act as an analog switch. When the multiplexer is switched from the multiplexer to the analog switch mode, the chip can be used to switch between analog signals. Like the multiplexer, the analog switch also utilizes low resistance gates and is capable of switching analog signals with a much higher speed and accuracy than traditional analog switches.

The ADG212AKPZ is an example of a versatile and efficient interface device that can be used for a variety of applications. The chip is used in applications such as audio switching and switching of video signals. The chip can also be used in display switching and routing of DVB-T signals. The ADG212AKPZ is a cost efficient and has a wide range of possible uses, making it an ideal choice for an interface device.
