HI1-5042-2

The HI1-5042-2 from Hiforum Inc. is a monolithic CMOS 4-to-2 line multiplexer and is designed for use in digital systems needing multiple inputs and outputs. It is a single piece of integrated circuitry designed to act like a switch that reduces the complexity of wiring and the need for added components. This monolithic device consists of two transistors, two resistors and two diodes, integrated together in a small synthetic kernel. The circuit provides two gates with complementary outputs, two select lines, two enable lines and two active high/low inputs.The HI1-5042-2 is a versatile device offering a wide range of applications. It is ideal for switching between two logic states (high/low) on the same line, such as switching a PC from a power-on state to a power-off state, or for transferring data from one output to another. The device can also be used for switching between two power sources, by controlling the number of signals driven on a particular bus line. In addition, the HI1-5042-2 can also be used for changing directions on a particular data line by changing its logic state.The HI1-5042-2 is classified as an analog switch and is used as a multiplexer or demultiplexer. A multiplexer, or mux, is a digital device that takes several digital inputs and combines them into one output. A demultiplexer, or demux, is a digital device that takes one digital input and distributes it among several outputs. The HI1-5042-2 multiplexer/demultiplexer is designed to function as two independent two-channel analog switches.The HI1-5042-2 multiplexer/demultiplexer uses two control ports (EN1 and EN2) to switch between two data ports (A1 and A2). A logic high applied to either EN1 or EN2 selects one of the two data ports and a logic low selects the other. When EN1 is high, A1 is selected and when EN2 is high, A2 is selected. The active low/high inputs can be configured for either positive or negative logic, allowing for a wide variety of applications.The HI1-5042-2 is also available with a dual port connection. In this version, two control ports (EN1 and EN2) and two data ports (A1 and A2) may be connected together for simultaneous activation. This allows the HI1-5042-2 to switch both data ports simultaneously, reducing switching time and providing a more efficient solution.The HI1-5042-2 analog switch/multiplexer/demultiplexer is a versatile device that can be used in a wide variety of applications. Its small size and efficient operation makes it ideal for digital systems, allowing them to reduce the complexity of wiring and components while still providing reliable, robust performance.
