Product details
Overview
CD4512BMT from Texas Instruments is a CMOS 8-channel analog multiplexer/demultiplexer with latched address inputs and enable control, operating over ±3 V to ±18 V dual supply or 3 V to 20 V single supply, featuring 120 Ω typical on-resistance, 100 pA max leakage current at 25 °C, and propagation delay of 70 ns (VDD = 15 V), used in precision data acquisition systems for channel selection and signal routing.
For engineers reviewing the CD4512BMT datasheet, CD4512BMT pinout, CD4512BMT application, or CD4512BMT equivalent, key selection criteria include supply voltage range compatibility, channel count, on-resistance matching, leakage sensitivity in high-impedance sensor interfaces, and SOIC-16 thermal and layout constraints.
Technical Context
The CD4512BMT implements a single-pole, eight-throw (SP8T) analog switch architecture with three-bit binary address decoding (A0–A2), active-low enable (EN), and latched address storage-ensuring stable channel selection during address transitions. It uses standard CMOS transmission-gate topology with complementary P- and N-channel devices per switch path.
Its logic-compatible control inputs accept TTL/CMOS voltage levels, while analog signal handling supports rail-to-rail operation within supply limits. The device exhibits break-before-make switching behavior and maintains channel isolation >60 dB at 10 kHz, with minimal charge injection (<5 pC) critical for sample-and-hold integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 20 V single supply or ±3 V to ±18 V dual supply - enables direct interfacing with legacy industrial sensors and microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 120 Ω typical at VDD = 15 V - ensures <1 % gain error in 12-bit ADC front-end applications with source impedances ≤1 kΩ. |
| Channel Leakage Current | 100 pA max at 25 °C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance pH electrode or photodiode signal paths. |
| Propagation Delay | 70 ns typical at VDD = 15 V - supports multiplexed sampling rates up to ~7 MHz in time-division-multiplexed systems. |
| Channel Isolation | >60 dB at 10 kHz - prevents crosstalk between adjacent channels in multi-sensor monitoring systems. |
| Charge Injection | <5 pC - minimizes droop in sample-and-hold circuits requiring sub-12-bit settling stability. |
Pinout & Package
CD4512BMT is supplied in a 16-pin SOIC (D) package, 3.9 mm wide, 9.9 mm long, 1.75 mm max height, with 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/60 % RH).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A0) | Address Input LSB | Binary-selects one of eight analog input/output channels; latched internally on rising edge of EN. |
| 2 (A1) | Address Input | Second bit of 3-bit address bus; determines channel index with A0 and A2. |
| 3 (A2) | Address Input MSB | Most significant address bit; completes 0–7 channel decode when combined with A0–A1. |
| 4 (INH) | Active-Low Enable | Disables all switches when high; enables latching and conduction when low. |
| 5–12 (I0–I7) | Analog Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional CMOS switch terminals; electrically identical, supporting mux or demux configuration. |
| 13 (Z) | Common Analog Terminal | Single-pole connection point shared across all eight channels; routed to selected Ix via internal switch. |
| 14 (VDD) | Positive Supply | Accepts 3–20 V DC or connects to positive rail in dual-supply mode. |
| 16 (VSS) | Negative/Ground Rail | Serves as return path for single supply (GND) or negative rail in dual-supply (−VDD) operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports signals from VSS to VDD without clipping-enables direct interface with op-amps and ADCs operating at supply rails. |
| Latched address inputs | Eliminates need for external address hold circuitry; ensures glitch-free channel selection during address bus transitions. |
| Low charge injection | <5 pC guarantees <0.01 % full-scale error in 12-bit sample-and-hold stages using 10 nF hold capacitors. |
| Break-before-make switching | Prevents momentary shorting between channels-critical for avoiding transient faults in power monitoring or relay replacement circuits. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from −55 °C to +125 °C-validates use in automotive engine control units and downhole instrumentation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4051BM96 | 8-channel, but non-latched address inputs; higher RON (240 Ω typ); no break-before-make guarantee. | Requires external latch for stable addressing; unsuitable for fast-switching sensor arrays where address glitches cause channel coupling. | Select only if system uses synchronous address strobing and tolerates higher on-resistance. |
| ADG708BRUZ | 8-channel, CMOS, latched, but 3 V–5.5 V only; 3.5 Ω RON; faster tPD (12 ns); not rated beyond 85 °C. | Cannot replace CD4512BMT in high-voltage (>5.5 V) or extended-temperature industrial environments. | Prefer for low-voltage, high-speed portable instruments where rail-to-rail operation below 5.5 V suffices. |
Compared with CD4051BM96 and ADG708BRUZ, the CD4512BMT uniquely balances wide supply range (3–20 V), latched addressing, and extended temperature support (−55 °C to +125 °C), making it irreplaceable in ruggedized industrial and automotive analog signal routing where voltage headroom and reliability outweigh speed or ultra-low RON.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for CD4512BMT?
The CD4512BMT supports a single-supply range of 3 V to 20 V or dual-supply operation from ±3 V to ±18 V. Its absolute maximum ratings specify VDD − VSS ≤ 20 V, meaning the total voltage difference across pins 14 and 16 must not exceed 20 V. Exceeding this risks permanent damage to the internal CMOS transmission gates. Always observe derating guidelines for operation above 125 °C ambient.
Does CD4512BMT support bidirectional analog signal flow?
Yes, the CD4512BMT is fully bidirectional: any of the eight I0–I7 pins can serve as input or output relative to the common Z terminal, with identical on-resistance and leakage characteristics in both directions. This enables flexible use in multiplexer (Z → Ix) or demultiplexer (Ix → Z) configurations without performance penalty or external reconfiguration.
Is CD4512BMT pin-compatible with CD4051B series devices?
No, CD4512BMT is not pin-compatible with CD4051B series devices. While both are 16-pin SOIC analog multiplexers, CD4512BMT assigns A0–A2 to pins 1–3 and INH to pin 4, whereas CD4051B places INH at pin 6 and uses pins 10–12 for I0–I2. PCB layout and firmware addressing must be redesigned to migrate between these families.
What is the function of the INH pin on CD4512BMT?
The INH (Inhibit) pin on CD4512BMT is an active-low enable control: when pulled low, it activates the internal address latch and enables conduction between Z and the selected Ix channel; when high, all switches are turned off regardless of address state. This provides hardware-level channel disable capability independent of address lines, useful for power gating or fault isolation in safety-critical systems.
Why is CD4512BMT marked as Obsolete in TI's packaging addendum?
TI lists CD4512BMT as Obsolete because the SOIC (D) package variant with 'T' suffix is no longer in active production-TI discontinued its manufacturing and does not commit to future supply. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and offers traceable, tested stock for ongoing industrial maintenance and long-life program support where redesign is impractical.
