Product details
Overview
74HCT4051D/AUJ from Nexperia is an 8-channel analog multiplexer/demultiplexer (SP8T) with TTL-compatible logic inputs, 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply operation, typical ON resistance of 70 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V and VEE = –4.5 V, ±5 V analog signal handling capability, and –40 °C to +125 °C operating range - used in sensor signal routing for industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT4051D/AUJ datasheet, 74HCT4051D/AUJ pinout, 74HCT4051D/AUJ application, or 74HCT4051D/AUJ equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional analog switching performance under dual-supply conditions, logic-level translation between 5 V digital control and ±5 V analog domains, low crosstalk (<220 mV), and guaranteed operation across automotive-grade temperature extremes.
Technical Context
The 74HCT4051D/AUJ implements a single-pole octal-throw analog switch architecture with three binary select lines (S0–S2), active-low enable (E), and independent Y0–Y7 terminals plus common Z terminal. It supports true bidirectional signal flow and operates with separate VCC (positive supply) and VEE (negative supply) rails.
Its internal decoder enables one-of-eight channel selection when E is LOW; all switches open when E is HIGH. Input clamp diodes allow safe interfacing to voltages beyond VCC/VEE when current-limiting resistors are used, and it features built-in 'break-before-make' switching to prevent channel shorting during transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V; VEE = –4.5 V to 0 V - enables ±5 V analog signal routing with 5 V logic compatibility |
| ON resistance (typ) | 70 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V, VEE = –4.5 V - ensures minimal analog signal attenuation and distortion in precision sensor interfaces |
| Switch bandwidth | f(–3 dB) = 180 MHz at VCC = 4.5 V, VEE = –4.5 V - supports high-frequency analog multiplexing up to video-bandwidth signals |
| Crosstalk | 220 mV peak at 1 MHz, VCC = 4.5 V, VEE = –4.5 V - limits interference between adjacent channels in multi-sensor systems |
| Isolation (OFF-state) | –50 dB at 1 MHz - maintains signal integrity by suppressing leakage between unselected channels |
| Propagation delay | 4 ns typical (Vis to Vos, VCC = 4.5 V, VEE = –4.5 V) - enables fast digital control of analog paths in real-time systems |
| Operating temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
74HCT4051D/AUJ is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package (SOT109-1), 3.9 mm body width, with standard 1.27 mm pitch and surface-mount footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Y4 | Independent analog I/O channel - connects to fourth sensor or signal source in 8-channel routing |
| 2 | VCC | Positive supply rail - powers internal logic and switch circuitry; must be decoupled near pin |
| 3 | Y6 | Independent analog I/O channel - provides sixth path for differential or auxiliary signal routing |
| 4 | Y2 | Independent analog I/O channel - used for secondary analog input/output in compact PCB layouts |
| 5 | Z | Common analog I/O terminal - serves as shared signal hub for all eight channels in mux/demux configurations |
| 6 | Y1 | Independent analog I/O channel - first selected channel in ascending binary order (S2S1S0 = 001) |
| 7 | Y7 | Independent analog I/O channel - highest-indexed channel (S2S1S0 = 111), often used for calibration or reference signals |
| 8 | Y0 | Independent analog I/O channel - default channel (S2S1S0 = 000); commonly assigned to primary sensor input |
| 9 | Y5 | Independent analog I/O channel - fifth path supporting multi-channel ADC front-end designs |
| 10 | Y3 | Independent analog I/O channel - third channel in sequence; useful for redundant or backup signal paths |
| 11 | E | Enable input (active LOW) - globally disables all switches; critical for power gating and fault isolation |
| 12 | S0 | Select input bit 0 - LSB of 3-bit binary address determining which Yn connects to Z |
| 13 | VEE | Negative supply rail - sets lower analog voltage limit; required for bipolar signal handling (e.g., ±5 V) |
| 14 | S1 | Select input bit 1 - middle bit of channel address; timing-critical in high-speed multiplexing |
| 15 | GND | Ground reference - return path for logic and analog currents; must be low-impedance and separated from noisy digital GND where possible |
| 16 | S2 | Select input bit 2 - MSB of channel address; determines upper half (Y4–Y7) vs lower half (Y0–Y3) selection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Low ON resistance mismatch | ΔRON ≤ 6 Ω between channels at VCC = 4.5 V, VEE = –4.5 V - ensures consistent gain and linearity across all 8 channels |
| Break-before-make switching | Guaranteed non-overlapping conduction during channel transitions - prevents momentary shorts in sensitive analog circuits |
| ESD robustness | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - enhances reliability in manufacturing and field-deployed equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC4051D | CMOS logic inputs (VIH min = 3.15 V at VCC = 4.5 V); wider VCC range (2.0–10.0 V); higher ON resistance (100 Ω typ at same bias) | Better suited for mixed-voltage systems where logic may operate below 4.5 V; less ideal for strict 5 V TTL control environments | Choose 74HC4051D only if system uses CMOS-level microcontrollers or requires extended supply flexibility over TTL compatibility |
| ADG708BRUZ | Single-supply operation (±1.8 V to ±5.5 V); lower ON resistance (3.5 Ω typ); SPI interface instead of parallel select lines | Requires digital controller with SPI peripheral; superior for ultra-low-distortion audio or RF applications but adds firmware overhead | Select ADG708BRUZ when lowest possible RON and integrated serial control justify added software complexity and cost premium |
Compared with 74HC4051D and ADG708BRUZ, the 74HCT4051D/AUJ uniquely balances TTL-compatible ease-of-use, bipolar analog support, and industrial temperature resilience - making it optimal for legacy 5 V controller-based systems requiring robust, pin-straightforward analog routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the 74HCT4051D/AUJ?
The 74HCT4051D/AUJ supports analog signals from VEE to VCC. With VCC = 4.5 V and VEE = –4.5 V, it handles ±5 V signals. The device is rated for VCC – VEE up to 10 V, allowing configurations such as 0 V to 10 V or –2.5 V to +7.5 V, provided absolute pin limits (–0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V) are respected. Clamp diodes enable safe overvoltage tolerance when current limiting is applied.
Does the 74HCT4051D/AUJ require both VCC and VEE supplies to operate?
Yes - the 74HCT4051D/AUJ requires both VCC and VEE for full ±5 V analog operation. VEE may be tied to GND only if unipolar analog signals (0 V to VCC) are used; however, doing so forfeits the device's logic-level translation capability and reduces analog range. For true bipolar signal routing or TTL-compatible control, separate VCC and VEE rails are mandatory, as confirmed in the recommended operating conditions table.
What is the typical ON resistance of the 74HCT4051D/AUJ and how does it vary with supply conditions?
The 74HCT4051D/AUJ has a typical ON resistance of 70 Ω at VCC = 4.5 V and VEE = –4.5 V, measured at mid-rail (Vis = VCC/2). At VCC = 5.5 V and VEE = 0 V, RON drops to ~65 Ω. Resistance increases toward the rails - e.g., RON(rail) is 65 Ω max at VCC = 4.5 V, VEE = –4.5 V - and rises with temperature, reaching 130 Ω max at +125 °C under same bias. This variation directly impacts gain accuracy and THD in precision analog paths.
Can the 74HCT4051D/AUJ be used in a single-supply configuration?
Yes, the 74HCT4051D/AUJ can operate with VEE = GND (0 V), enabling unipolar analog signal routing from 0 V to VCC. However, this configuration disables its key logic-level translation feature and restricts analog range to 0–5.5 V. Input thresholds remain TTL-compatible (VIH ≥ 2.0 V), but ON resistance increases near the rails, and distortion rises above 1 % for large-swing signals. For best performance with ±5 V signals, dual-supply operation is required.
How does the enable (E) pin function and what happens when it is left floating?
The E pin is an active-LOW enable: when HIGH, all internal switches are fully OFF (isolation > –50 dB); when LOW, channel selection via S0–S2 becomes active. Leaving E floating is not permitted - the pin has no internal pull-up/down and may float to an indeterminate logic level, causing unpredictable switching behavior or partial conduction. External pull-down (to GND) or active driving is required for deterministic operation of the 74HCT4051D/AUJ.
