NXP Semiconductors 74HCT4052N,112

Overview

74HCT4052N,112 from Nexperia is a dual 4-channel analog multiplexer/demultiplexer (2 × SP4T) with TTL-compatible logic inputs, ±5 V analog signal handling capability, 60 Ω typical ON resistance at 4.5 V supply, and operation from -40 °C to +125 °C. It routes analog or digital signals in test equipment front-ends, sensor signal conditioning, and audio channel switching.

For engineers reviewing the 74HCT4052N,112 datasheet, 74HCT4052N,112 pinout, 74HCT4052N,112 application, or 74HCT4052N,112 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SO16 package details, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts for analog signal routing designs requiring rail-to-rail ±5 V compatibility and low-leakage switching.

Technical Context

The 74HCT4052N,112 implements two independent single-pole quad-throw analog switches sharing common enable (E) and select (S0/S1) inputs. Its bidirectional nYn/nZ paths support both multiplexing and demultiplexing with break-before-make timing to prevent signal shorting during channel transitions.

Designed for mixed-signal interfacing, it features logic-level translation-TTL input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5 V) allow direct connection to 5 V microcontrollers while switching ±5 V analog signals across VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and VEE = 0 V or -4.5 V.

FAQ

What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the 74HCT4052N,112?

The 74HCT4052N,112 supports analog signals from -5 V to +5 V across its nYn and nZ terminals when operated with VCC = 4.5 V and VEE = -4.5 V. This bipolar range allows direct interfacing with sensors and audio sources requiring full-rail signal handling without external clamping or level-shifting circuitry.

Does the 74HCT4052N,112 require external pull-up resistors on its control pins?

No, the 74HCT4052N,112 does not require external pull-up resistors on S0, S1, or E pins. Its TTL-compatible inputs have defined VIH (≥2.0 V) and VIL (≤0.8 V) thresholds at 5 V supply, and internal input structures ensure clean logic recognition when driven directly from 5 V microcontrollers or logic gates.

Can the 74HCT4052N,112 operate with a single 5 V supply (VEE = GND)?

Yes, the 74HCT4052N,112 can operate with VEE = GND and VCC = 4.5–5.5 V. In this configuration, it handles 0 V to 5 V analog signals. However, the ±5 V range requires VEE = -4.5 V; using VEE = GND limits analog swing to unipolar 0–5 V operation.

What is the typical ON-resistance mismatch between channels of the 74HCT4052N,112?

The 74HCT4052N,112 exhibits a typical ON-resistance mismatch (ΔRON) of 6 Ω between channels at VCC = 4.5 V and VEE = -4.5 V. This tight matching ensures consistent gain, attenuation, and settling behavior across all four channels-critical for precision instrumentation and calibration-critical applications.

Is the 74HCT4052N,112 pin-compatible with the 74HC4052N,112?

Yes, the 74HCT4052N,112 is pin-compatible with the 74HC4052N,112 in the SO16 package. Both share identical pinout, package dimensions, and switching architecture. The key difference lies in input threshold compatibility: 74HCT4052N,112 accepts TTL-level logic (2.0 V VIH), while 74HC4052N,112 requires CMOS-level inputs (3.15 V VIH at 4.5 V VCC).
