STMicroelectronics HCF4016M013TR

Overview

HCF4016M013TR from STMicroelectronics is a quad bilateral analog switch IC designed for signal routing in mixed-signal systems, featuring 280Ω typical on-resistance at 15V supply, <0.5% distortion at 1kHz/5Vpp, and 40MHz typical bandwidth. It operates from 3V to 20V dual-supply (±10V peak-to-peak signal range), with matched switch resistance (≤10Ω mismatch) and 100pA typical off-leakage - ideal for precision audio multiplexing and data acquisition front-ends.

For engineers reviewing the HCF4016M013TR datasheet, HCF4016M013TR pinout, HCF4016M013TR application, or HCF4016M013TR equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed on-resistance matching across all four switches, high off-isolation (>65dB), low crosstalk (50dB at 0.9MHz), and verified operation over -55°C to +125°C industrial temperature range.

Technical Context

The HCF4016M013TR implements four independent CMOS transmission gates, each controlled by a single digital input that simultaneously biases complementary p-channel and n-channel devices - enabling true bidirectional analog conduction with minimal charge injection and signal-dependent on-resistance variation. Its B-series CMOS process ensures rail-to-rail analog signal handling up to ±10V with no body diode conduction path.

Switch control uses threshold-voltage referenced logic (VTH = 2.25V @ VDD=5V, 4.5V @ VDD=10V), and internal high-impedance control inputs (10¹²Ω typ.) isolate digital control from analog signal paths. Feedthrough is minimized via matched control-to-signal capacitance (CIO = 0.2pF), reducing transient coupling during switching.

FAQ

Can HCF4016M013TR switch negative analog signals?

Yes. The device supports true bilateral operation with dual supplies (e.g., VDD = +15V, VSS = -15V), enabling ±10V peak-to-peak analog signal switching. Its CMOS transmission gate architecture has no intrinsic diode drop, allowing conduction symmetrically around 0V - confirmed by absolute maximum ratings specifying VDD–VSS up to 22V and signal swing limited only by supply rails.

What is the maximum recommended signal frequency for clean switching?

The -3dB bandwidth is 40MHz (typical) with RL = 1kΩ, CL = 50pF. For low-distortion operation, use ≤10MHz with 5Vpp signals; above 1MHz, ensure layout minimizes stray capacitance at pins 1–4/8–11 and maintain tight ground return paths to preserve 65dB off-isolation and 50dB crosstalk rejection.

Does HCF4016M013TR require external pull-up/down resistors on control inputs?

No. Control inputs have 10¹²Ω typical impedance and defined TTL/CMOS-compatible thresholds (e.g., VTH ≈ 4.5V at VDD = 10V). Direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs is safe; however, floating control pins must be avoided - tie unused controls to VDD or VSS to prevent undefined switch states and leakage-induced offset.

How does on-resistance vary with signal voltage?

RON increases near supply rails due to MOSFET channel pinch-off. At VDD = 15V, RON is 200Ω at mid-rail (±7.5V), rising to 520Ω at ±0.25V from rails. Data sheet Figure 5 confirms this symmetrical "bathtub" curve - design signal swings to stay within ±7V for RON stability within ±10% of nominal 280Ω.
