Texas Instruments CD4067BPWR

The Texas Instruments CD4067BPWR is a 16-channel analog multiplexer and demultiplexer (MUX/DEMUX). It allows one signal from any of the 16 analog inputs to be routed to a single output line, or vice versa. This chip is commonly used for applications where a signal needs to be switched between multiple sources or destinations without the need for physical wiring changes. Functions - Channel Selection: The CD4067BPWR can select one of 16 input channels using a 4-bit binary code. - Analog Signal Handling: It can process analog signal levels ranging from 0 to VDD (the supply voltage), typically 3V to 15V. - Low ON Resistance: Ensures minimal signal loss when switching between channels. - High Isolation Between Channels: Prevents crosstalk between the inputs. Applications - Signal Routing: Used in audio, video, or other signal routing applications where multiple sources need to be selected. - Data Acquisition Systems: Useful in systems that require multiplexing of sensor signals to an ADC. - Control Systems: Employed in systems that require selection of different control signals. - Telecommunications: Used in switching data lines.

Embedded Modules - Analog Multiplexer Modules: Often available on development platforms like Arduino or Raspberry Pi that incorporate similar chip functionalities for easy integration. - Custom PCB Design: Many prototyping boards might use the CD4067 configured for specific multiplexer applications. Related Q&A Q1: What is the maximum supply voltage for the CD4067BPWR? A1: The maximum supply voltage (VDD) for the CD4067BPWR is typically 15V, but it can also operate at lower voltages (as low as 3V). Q2: How many channels does the CD4067BPWR support? A2: The CD4067BPWR supports 16 channels for multiplexing and demultiplexing signals. Q3: Can the CD4067BPWR handle digital signals? A3: While the CD4067BPWR can handle digital signals, it is primarily designed for analog signals. Care must be taken regarding voltage levels and signal integrity. Q4: How does the channel selection work in the CD4067BPWR? A4: Channel selection is done using a 4-bit binary input (A, B, C, D), where each combination of these four bits selects one of the 16 channels. Q5: What is the significance of the ON resistance in the CD4067BPWR? A5: The ON resistance is a key parameter that affects how much the signal is attenuated when passing through the multiplexer. A lower ON resistance indicates better performance for maintaining signal integrity.
