Product details
Overview
ISL43231IR from Intersil is a low-voltage, triple SPDT analog switch designed for precision signal routing in single-supply (+2V to +12V) or dual-supply (±2V to ±6V) systems. It delivers 39Ω ON resistance at ±5V, 38ns/19ns enable switching times, rail-to-rail analog signal handling, and guaranteed break-before-make operation - enabling high-fidelity multiplexing in medical ultrasound front-ends and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the ISL43231IR datasheet, ISL43231IR pinout, ISL43231IR application, or ISL43231IR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-validated pin functions, real-world application mappings, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs for 2:1 analog multiplexer designs.
Technical Context
The ISL43231IR implements three independent SPDT switches controlled via three address inputs (ADDA, ADDB, ADDC), with separate EN/EN̅ inhibit logic to simultaneously disable all paths and LE latch logic to hold the last selected channel state. Its CMOS transmission-gate architecture supports bidirectional analog signals across the full supply rail range.
It features dual digital control domains: one for global enable/inhibit (EN/EN̅ referenced to V+ and GND), and another for latching (LE referenced to V+), ensuring deterministic switching behavior under noisy or asynchronous control conditions. All digital inputs meet TTL/CMOS thresholds (0.8V/2.4V) across 2.7V–10V V+ operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Configuration | Triple SPDT - enables simultaneous 2:1 selection across three independent analog channels. |
| ON Resistance (RON) | 39Ω max at ±5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision ADC/DAC interfaces. |
| Switching Speed | tON/tOFF = 38ns/19ns at ±5V - supports high-speed multiplexing in >10 MSPS data acquisition systems. |
| Leakage Current | 2.5nA max at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor front-ends and integrator reset circuits. |
| Supply Range | +2V to +12V single or ±2V to ±6V dual - accommodates legacy ±5V rails and modern 3.3V/5V portable systems. |
| Charge Injection | 1pC max at ±5V - minimizes voltage glitch in sample-and-hold and switched-capacitor applications. |
| Off Isolation | 92dB at 100kHz - suppresses crosstalk between active and inactive signal paths in multi-channel routing. |
Pinout & Package
ISL43231IR is housed in a 20-lead 4×4 mm QFN package (PKG DWG # L20.4x4) with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is top-left corner (NOA), and pin 20 is bottom-right (ADDB). The package supports reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL Level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| NOA, NOB, NOC | Analog Normally Open terminal (per switch A/B/C) | Connects to COM when switch is activated; used for primary signal path selection. |
| NCA, NCB, NCC | Analog Normally Closed terminal (per switch A/B/C) | Connects to COM when switch is inactive; enables default-path fail-safe routing. |
| COMA, COMB, COMC | Analog common terminal (per switch A/B/C) | Shared I/O node for each SPDT; must be connected to system signal source or load. |
| ADDA, ADDB, ADDC | Digital address input (binary-encoded channel select) | 3-bit code selects one of eight possible switch states (including all-off and latched modes). |
| EN, EN̅ | Global inhibit enable/disable pair | Active-low EN and active-high EN̅ allow flexible logic-level control to open all paths simultaneously. |
| LE | Latch enable input | When asserted, freezes current switch state regardless of subsequent address changes. |
| V+, V−, GND | Power supply terminals | V+ and V− power analog switches and define signal swing limits; GND serves digital logic reference only. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail analog signal handling | Supports full V− to V+ input/output swing - eliminates clipping in ±5V op-amp gain-switching networks. |
| Guaranteed break-before-make | Minimum 2ns tBBM ensures no signal shorting during channel transitions - critical for protecting sensitive sources. |
| Low charge injection (1pC) | Reduces settling error in precision sample-and-hold circuits - enables sub-16-bit accuracy retention. |
| TTL/CMOS logic compatibility | 0.8V/2.4V thresholds work directly with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers - no level-shifting required. |
| Thermal performance (θJA = 45°C/W) | Enables sustained operation at 85°C ambient without derating - suitable for enclosed medical enclosures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple SPDT analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4683ETE+ | Higher RON (75Ω @ ±5V), no latch function, smaller 16-pin TQFN package | Lacks LE pin and triple SPDT configuration - requires external logic for latched operation | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where latch functionality is unnecessary and 75Ω RON is acceptable |
| TMUX6213RTER | Lower leakage (0.5nA @ 85°C), higher supply range (up to ±16.5V), but slower tON (75ns @ ±5V) | Optimized for high-voltage industrial sensing, not high-speed multiplexing | Choose when ultra-low leakage dominates over speed, e.g., in precision strain gauge or thermocouple front-ends |
Compared with MAX4683ETE+ and TMUX6213RTER, the ISL43231IR uniquely balances low RON, fast switching, latch capability, and broad supply flexibility - making it optimal for portable medical and test equipment requiring deterministic, glitch-free channel selection.

FAQ
What supply configurations does the ISL43231IR support?
The ISL43231IR operates from a single +2V to +12V supply (with V− tied to GND) or a dual ±2V to ±6V supply. At ±5V, it achieves 39Ω RON and 38ns/19ns switching; at +3.3V, RON rises to 125Ω with 70ns/32ns timing. The device maintains TTL/CMOS logic compatibility across all supported supplies, and its absolute maximum rating allows up to ±15V differential without damage.
How does the latch function (LE pin) operate in the ISL43231IR?
The LE (Latch Enable) pin on the ISL43231IR freezes the current switch state when driven low. While LE is low, changes to ADDA/ADDB/ADDC inputs have no effect - the selected NO/NC path remains active until LE is returned high. This feature prevents spurious channel switching during address bus contention or slow microcontroller GPIO transitions, ensuring deterministic behavior in noisy industrial environments.
Does the ISL43231IR provide break-before-make switching?
Yes, the ISL43231IR guarantees break-before-make operation with a minimum tBBM of 2ns across the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range. This ensures that the previously selected path fully disconnects before the newly addressed path connects - eliminating momentary shorts that could damage sensitive signal sources or cause transient errors in precision measurement circuits.
What is the maximum analog signal voltage the ISL43231IR can handle?
The ISL43231IR supports rail-to-rail analog signals from V− to V+. With ±5V supplies, this means −5V to +5V; with +12V/V− = GND, it handles 0V to +12V. Input voltages beyond these rails are clamped by internal ESD diodes, but sustained overvoltage risks forward-biasing those diodes - so analog signals must remain within V− and V+ for reliable operation and specified leakage performance.
Can the ISL43231IR be used in high-frequency RF signal routing?
The ISL43231IR is optimized for analog signal routing up to ~100MHz in 50Ω systems, with off-isolation of 92dB at 100kHz and >55dB at 10MHz. However, it is not characterized for RF impedance matching or S-parameter performance. For true RF switching above 100MHz, purpose-built RF switches (e.g., PE4259) are recommended - the ISL43231IR suits baseband, audio, and medium-speed instrumentation signals, not RF carrier frequencies.
