CD4051 Multiplexer/Demultiplexer IC

Multiplexer/Demultiplexer: The CD4051 can operate in both multiplexer (mux) and demultiplexer (demux) modes. In the multiplexer mode, it selects one of eight analog input channels and routes it to a single output. In the demultiplexer mode, it takes a single input and routes it to one of eight output channels.

Analog and Digital Compatibility: The CD4051 is compatible with both analog and digital signals. It can switch analog signals within a specified voltage range and is often used in applications like analog signal routing, signal conditioning, and data acquisition.

Channel Selection: The IC has three digital control inputs (A, B, C) that allow you to select the desired channel. By applying binary logic to these inputs, you can choose which input or output channel to activate.

Voltage Supply: The CD4051 typically operates with a power supply voltage in the range of 3 volts to 15 volts, making it compatible with various digital systems.

Low ON Resistance: It has low ON resistance, which minimizes signal distortion and ensures that the selected input is transferred with minimal loss.

Applications: CD4051 is commonly used in applications like analog multiplexing, signal routing, data acquisition systems, audio and video switching, instrumentation, and more.
