ADG438F/ADG439F
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADG438F/ADG439F multiplexers are capable of with-
standing overvoltages from –40 V to +55 V, irrespective of
whether the power supplies are present or not. Each channel of
the multiplexer consists of an n-channel MOSFET, a p-channel
MOSFET and an n-channel MOSFET, connected in series.
When the analog input exceeds the power supplies, one of the
MOSFETs will switch off, limiting the current to sub-microamp
levels, thereby preventing the overvoltage from damaging any
circuitry following the multiplexer. Figure 12 illustrates the
channel architecture that enables these multiplexers to with-
stand continuous overvoltages.
When an analog input of V
to the ADG438F/ADG439F, the multiplexer behaves as a
standard multiplexer, with specifications similar to a standard
multiplexer, for example, the on-resistance is 180
However, when an overvoltage is applied to the device, one of
the three MOSFETs will turn off.
Figures 10 to 13 show the conditions of the three MOSFETs for
the various overvoltage situations. When the analog input ap-
plied to an ON channel approaches the positive power supply
line, the n-channel MOSFET turns OFF since the voltage on
the analog input exceeds the difference between V

When the power supplies are present but the channel is off,
again either the p-channel MOSFET or one of the n-channel
MOSFETs will remain off when an overvoltage occurs.
Finally, when the power supplies are off, the gate of each
MOSFET will be at ground. A negative overvoltage switches on
the first n-channel MOSFET but the bias produced by the
overvoltage causes the p-channel MOSFET to remain turned
off. With a positive overvoltage, the first MOSFET in the series
will remain off since the gate to source voltage applied to this
MOSFET is negative.
During fault conditions, the leakage current into and out of the
ADG438F/ADG439F is limited to a few microamps. This pro-
tects the multiplexer and succeeding circuitry from over stresses
as well as protecting the signal sources which drive the multi-
plexer. Also, the other channels of the multiplexer will be
undisturbed by the overvoltage and will continue to operate
normally.
