Product Overview
The CD4051BE from Texas Instruments is a CMOS single 8-channel analog multiplexer/demultiplexer with logic-level conversion. It can switch analog signals up to 20V peak-to-peak with digital control from 3V to 20V. Featuring low ON resistance (125Ω typical at 15V), bidirectional signal paths, and break-before-make switching, it is packaged in a 16-pin PDIP for through-hole prototyping and production.
