analogue switches

[akis]

Hello, I am looking for an analogue switch in an IC so that I avoid having to run signal on long wires to a panel mounted mechanical switch. The signal will be analogue at about 200KHz and the amplitude will be about 10-12V peak. I have already used a Solid State Relay LH1510AT quite successfully except it is SPST and pricey. I was looking for more options like 2 pole 4 position as an example, all packed in a small IC. Many thanks

Maxim and others make a wide range of analog switch ICs. In the <80V range they have a range of configurations that at most you can get is dual pole (1, 2, 3 or 4 switches in one IC).

I have looked and discovered a range of switches which seem to be an industry standard, eg DG201, DG451 and so on, they are still quite expensive and they are single pole single throw mostly, whereas I was looking for one pole four position or six position type of thing. The lower the Ron the more expensive they are in general, although it appears Vishay is much cheaper than AD.

So I designed a silly diagram of a mosfet switch using N-channels. It has great drawbacks, it needs a Vdd much higher than the highest peak of the analogue signal expected. And if I use P-channels, again, I would need a Vee much lower than the lowest peak of the analogue signal.

ADG1406/1407/1408/etc.  Beware they only come in SMD packages, and a handful of other gotcha's...

Thanks. I went and ordered the DG412. It has a pin labelled VL. I have no idea what it is. Could someone please tell me?

VL must be connected to +5V to be TTL compatible, or to V+ for CMOS-logic level inputs

Ahh so much better a datasheet than Vishay's. It also talks about correct sequencing of the power supplies, another factor I had not considered.
