ADG3257BRQZ

ADG3257BRQZ is a logic-signal switch, multiplexer and decoder integrated circuit which helps to bridge the gap between digital logic, microprocessor and analog signals. This device consists of two separate monolithic silicon chips, an amplifier and a multiplexer, which are combined in an integrated form. The amplifier is an N-channel MOSFET switch which can increase signals (in the range of 1.0V to +12V) up to +14V. The multiplexer is a voltage controlled switch which can select or switch four different analog inputs to one output and thus providing control over the four ports.The ADG3257BRQZ is designed to offer flexible solutions for complex logic and signal switching applications. It is used in a wide range of applications ranging from switching digital logic, to controlling process parameters in the industrial sector. It is used in a variety of applications such as driving and controlling AC and DC motors, digital signal switching/distribution, clock recovery/multiplication/division, industrial control, medical instrumentation, motion control and avionics.The ADG3257BRQZ can also be used for storage and decoding applications. It features an address latch which can store 16 different binary coded signals (8-bit data rate) and can decode them to drive four independent outputs (8-bit ready-made decoder). Furthermore, this device can be used in various analog signal switching applications to select and control one of four different analog inputs or data signals.The ADG3257BRQZ operates in two main modes: voltage controlled mode and logical control mode. In voltage controlled mode, one of the four inputs is selected based on the logic level/voltage applied to the enable pin. In logical control mode, the enable pin input is connected to the ground and the selection is done through the application of binary coded address to the address pins (A0, A1, A2).In conclusion, the ADG3257BRQZ is a versatile device which bridges the gap between digital logic and analog signals. Its flexibility and capabilities make it ideal for logic signal switching, multiplexing and decoding applications in a wide range of industries.
