Product details
Overview
HEF4051BT/AUJ from Nexperia is a single-pole octal-throw (SP8T) analog multiplexer/demultiplexer IC used for bidirectional signal routing in mixed-signal systems. It features three digital select inputs (S1–S3), eight independent I/O channels (Y0–Y7), a common terminal (Z), and an active-low enable input (E). With 3.0 V to 15.0 V supply operation, ±100 nA OFF-state leakage at 125 °C, and 60 Ω typical ON resistance at 15 V, it supports precision analog switching in industrial sensor interfaces and data acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the HEF4051BT/AUJ datasheet, HEF4051BT/AUJ pinout, HEF4051BT/AUJ application, or HEF4051BT/AUJ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional behavior, SO16 package mapping, temperature-rated static/dynamic specs, and validated alternatives for analog signal routing designs requiring -40 °C to +125 °C operation and low crosstalk.
Technical Context
The HEF4051BT/AUJ implements a CMOS-based 1-of-8 decoder driving eight bilateral analog switches, with logic-level translation on S1/S2/S3/E inputs enabling direct interface to TTL or CMOS controllers. Its dual-supply capability (VDD and VEE) allows rail-to-rail analog signal handling across ±15 V differential ranges when VEE is biased below ground.
Switching is fully static and symmetrical: ON resistance remains stable over input voltage (0 to VDD–VEE), with <5 Ω mismatch between channels at 15 V and <10 ns propagation delay for Y/Z transitions. Isolation exceeds -50 dB at 1 MHz with 1 kΩ/5 pF load, and THD stays below 0.04 % at 1 kHz under 15 V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 15.0 V - Supports direct interface with 5 V, 10 V, and 15 V logic/system rails without level shifters. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for extended industrial environments including motor control and power monitoring. |
| ON Resistance (Typ) | 60 Ω at VDD = 15 V - Enables <1 % gain error in 12-bit ADC front-end multiplexing with 10 kΩ source impedance. |
| OFF-State Leakage | 200 nA max per channel at 125 °C - Ensures <0.5 LSB error in high-impedance sensor mux applications at full temperature range. |
| Channel Isolation | -50 dB at 1 MHz - Prevents signal coupling between active and inactive channels in multi-channel data loggers. |
| Propagation Delay | 5 ns typical (Y/Z ↔ Z/Y) at 15 V - Supports >10 MSPS multiplexed sampling in real-time signal conditioning circuits. |
| Total Harmonic Distortion | 0.04 % max at 1 kHz, 15 V - Maintains fidelity for audio-grade and precision instrumentation analog paths. |
Pinout & Package
HEF4051BT/AUJ is supplied in the SO16 plastic small outline package (SOT109-1), 3.9 mm body width, 16-pin surface-mount format with standard 1.27 mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; device orientation follows JEDEC MS-012.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 12–15 | Y0–Y7 | Independent bidirectional analog I/O terminals; each connects to Z when selected, otherwise high-impedance OFF state. |
| 3 | Z | Common analog terminal - serves as input during demux mode or output during mux mode. |
| 6 | E | Active-low enable - all switches open when HIGH; required for power-gating unused sections. |
| 7 | VEE | Negative supply rail - sets lower analog voltage limit; may be tied to VSS (0 V) or negative bias for extended range. |
| 8 | VSS | Digital ground reference - decoupled separately from analog return to minimize noise coupling. |
| 9–11 | S3, S2, S1 | Binary address inputs - define which Yn channel connects to Z (L/L/L = Y0, H/H/H = Y7). |
| 16 | VDD | Positive supply rail - powers internal logic and switch driver stages; must be ≥ VEE + 3 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | Operates from 3.0 V to 15.0 V - eliminates need for separate voltage regulators in multi-rail systems. |
| Bidirectional Switching | True analog symmetry - no distinction between input/output direction; supports mux and demux in same hardware. |
| Input Clamp Diodes | Integrated ESD protection diodes on S1/S2/S3/E - allow use of external current-limiting resistors for overvoltage-tolerant interfacing. |
| High Noise Immunity | CMOS threshold design ensures >40 % VDD noise margin - robust against digital switching noise in mixed-signal PCB layouts. |
| JEDEC JESD13-B Compliance | Fully compliant with industry-standard timing and electrical interface requirements for 4000B-series logic devices. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD4051BM96 | Wider temp range (-55 °C to +125 °C); higher ON resistance (125 Ω typ @ 15 V); no VEE pin - single-supply only. | Preferred for military/aerospace where extended cold start is required; unsuitable for bipolar analog ranges. | Select CD4051BM96 only if VEE biasing is unnecessary and -55 °C operation is mandatory. |
| 74HC4051PW | Lower ON resistance (80 Ω typ @ 4.5 V); narrower supply range (2 V to 10 V); no VEE pin; faster tPHL (5 ns @ 6 V). | Better for battery-powered 3.3 V/5 V systems needing speed and low RON, but cannot handle ±10 V signals. | Choose 74HC4051PW for portable equipment with unipolar 5 V rails and strict RON budget; avoid for industrial ±12 V signal chains. |
Compared with CD4051BM96 and 74HC4051PW, the HEF4051BT/AUJ uniquely supports dual-supply analog operation (VDD/VEE), offers superior OFF-state leakage performance at high temperature, and maintains consistent RON across its full 3–15 V supply range - making it optimal for ruggedized industrial multiplexing where signal polarity flexibility and thermal stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage difference between VDD and VEE for HEF4051BT/AUJ?
The absolute maximum rating specifies VDD – VEE ≤ 18 V. Operation beyond this risks permanent damage. For reliable analog signal handling, maintain VDD – VEE ≤ 15 V per recommended conditions, and ensure no terminal exceeds VDD + 0.5 V or falls below VEE – 0.5 V to prevent clamp diode conduction. The HEF4051BT/AUJ datasheet defines safe operating area boundaries in Figure 6.
Does HEF4051BT/AUJ support true bidirectional analog signal flow?
Yes, HEF4051BT/AUJ provides fully bidirectional analog conduction between any Yn pin and the Z terminal. There is no intrinsic input/output designation - signal direction depends solely on external circuit biasing. This enables identical performance whether used as an 8:1 multiplexer (Yn → Z) or 1:8 demultiplexer (Z → Yn), with matched ON resistance and capacitance in both directions.
Can HEF4051BT/AUJ operate with VEE tied to ground (0 V)?
Yes, HEF4051BT/AUJ functions correctly with VEE = VSS = 0 V. In this configuration, it operates as a unipolar analog switch with signal range limited to 0 V to VDD. All specifications - including ON resistance, leakage, and switching speed - remain valid per the datasheet's VSS = VEE = 0 V test conditions in Tables 6–11.
What is the guaranteed maximum ON resistance mismatch between channels for HEF4051BT/AUJ?
The datasheet guarantees ΔRON ≤ 5 Ω maximum at VDD = 15 V and Tamb = 25 °C (Table 7). This tight matching ensures consistent gain and phase response across all eight channels in precision applications such as calibrated sensor arrays or multi-channel audio summing nodes. Mismatch increases slightly at temperature extremes but remains within 15 Ω over full -40 °C to +125 °C range.
How does the enable input (E) affect power consumption in HEF4051BT/AUJ?
When E is HIGH, all internal switches are forced OFF and supply current drops to ≤600 μA maximum at 125 °C (Table 6). This enables effective power gating: disabling unused HEF4051BT/AUJ sections reduces system quiescent draw without requiring supply rail switching. The enable function is asynchronous and has no propagation delay dependency on S1–S3 states.
