Product details
Overview
ISL43L120IU from Intersil is a dual normally-open (NO) single-pole/single-throw (SPST) analog switch optimized for low-voltage, low-power portable systems. It operates from a single +1.65V to +3.6V supply, delivers 0.16Ω ON-resistance at 3V, 13ns switching time, <0.12µW power consumption, and supports 1.8V logic-compatible control - enabling high-fidelity signal routing in space-constrained mobile audio and sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the ISL43L120IU datasheet, ISL43L120IU pinout, ISL43L120IU application, or ISL43L120IU equivalent, this device is selected for ultra-low RON, minimal charge injection (−125pC), tight RON matching (0.005Ω), and MSOP-8 packaging in battery-powered handheld equipment requiring bidirectional analog signal switching with minimal distortion.
Technical Context
The ISL43L120IU integrates two independent CMOS SPST switches with matched channel architecture, driven by internal level shifters that translate 1.8V logic inputs into full-rail gate control under single-supply operation. Its submicron CMOS process ensures precise RON flatness (0.008Ω) and low leakage (<80nA) across the analog signal range (0V to V+).
Each switch exhibits symmetrical bidirectional conduction, with ESD protection diodes on all analog pins (NO, COM, NC) referenced to V+ and GND. The device requires V+ sequencing prior to signal application to prevent forward biasing of internal clamps - a critical constraint for system-level power-up coordination in portable designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.65V to +3.6V single supply - enables direct integration with Li-ion battery and 1.8V/3.3V logic domains without level translation. |
| ON Resistance (RON) | 0.16Ω typical at 3V - minimizes insertion loss and voltage drop in precision analog paths (e.g., audio line drivers, sensor multiplexing). |
| RON Matching | 0.005Ω max between channels - ensures balanced gain and phase response in differential or dual-path signal routing. |
| Switching Time (tON/tOFF) | 13ns/13ns at 3V - supports high-speed multiplexing in data acquisition and RF front-end switching up to ~175MHz bandwidth. |
| Charge Injection | −125pC typical - reduces glitch-induced settling errors in sample-and-hold and ADC input conditioning circuits. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | >8kV - provides robust handling margin for assembly and field operation in consumer handheld environments. |
| Logic Compatibility | 1.8V CMOS input thresholds (VINH ≥ 1.4V, VINL ≤ 0.5V at 3V supply) - interoperable with modern low-voltage ASIC GPIOs without external translators. |
Pinout & Package
ISL43L120IU is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package (JEDEC MO-187AA, pkg drawing M8.118), measuring 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 1.1mm, with exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation in compact PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1, IN2 | Digital control input | Active-high logic inputs controlling respective NO switches; compatible with 1.8V CMOS levels and require V+ applied before signal assertion. |
| COM1, COM2 | Analog common terminal | Bidirectional current path shared between NO and COM; supports full-rail analog signals from 0V to V+. |
| NO1, NO2 | Analog normally-open switch terminal | Open-circuit when IN = 0; connects to COM when IN = 1 - used for signal enable/gating functions in audio routing or sensor selection. |
| V+ | Positive supply rail | Single power source for analog switches and internal logic; absolute max 4.7V allows margin for 3.6V supply tolerance and noise spikes. |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for supply and signal currents; must be connected before applying any analog or digital signals to avoid ESD diode conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low RON flatness | 0.008Ω over full signal range - preserves signal integrity in wide-dynamic-range applications like microphone preamp switching. |
| Dual independent SPST topology | Two isolated NO switches - enables concurrent routing of separate analog signals (e.g., stereo audio channels or dual sensor inputs) without crosstalk. |
| Sub-100nA leakage performance | ±80nA max COM ON leakage - critical for high-impedance sensor interfaces and battery-life-sensitive always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Pb-free MSOP-8 packaging | RoHS-compliant 3×3mm footprint with annealed matte tin terminations - supports lead-free reflow and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL3 requirements. |
| High-frequency isolation | 62dB OFF isolation at 100kHz - suppresses unwanted feedthrough in RF-adjacent analog subsystems such as cellular baseband signal chains. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual SPST analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4617EUA+ | Higher RON (0.5Ω at 3V), slower tON/tOFF (35ns), no 1.8V logic compatibility | Acceptable where ultra-low RON and speed are non-critical; requires 3.3V logic interface | Choose MAX4617EUA+ only if board already uses 3.3V GPIO and RON < 0.2Ω is not required. |
| TMUX1574RSVR | Lower RON (0.12Ω), higher supply range (1.08–3.6V), but larger 10-pin UQFN package | Supports lower-voltage operation (1.08V) and offers better RON flatness, yet occupies more PCB area | Select TMUX1574RSVR when supply can drop below 1.65V or when tighter RON flatness (0.003Ω) is mandatory - accept larger footprint. |
Compared with MAX4617EUA+ and TMUX1574RSVR, ISL43L120IU uniquely balances ultra-low RON (0.16Ω), 13ns speed, 1.8V logic compatibility, and compact MSOP-8 size - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-powered systems where signal fidelity and power efficiency are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the ISL43L120IU?
The ISL43L120IU supports a full-rail analog signal range from 0V to V+, where V+ is the applied supply voltage within +1.65V to +3.6V. At 3V supply, signals from 0V to 3V pass bidirectionally with minimal distortion - confirmed by RON flatness of 0.008Ω and guaranteed in the Electrical Specifications table under "Analog Signal Range, VANALOG".
Does the ISL43L120IU support true 1.8V logic-level inputs?
Yes - the ISL43L120IU is explicitly 1.8V CMOS logic compatible, with input thresholds specified as VINL ≤ 0.5V and VINH ≥ 1.4V when operating from a 3V supply, and VINL ≤ 0.4V / VINH ≥ 1.0V at 1.8V supply. This allows direct interfacing with 1.8V ASIC GPIOs without level-shifting circuitry.
Can the ISL43L120IU be used in a bipolar supply configuration?
No - the ISL43L120IU is designed exclusively for single-supply operation from +1.65V to +3.6V referenced to GND. Its internal level shifter and logic threshold architecture assume a grounded reference; applying negative voltage to GND or reverse-polarizing V+ will damage the device or cause undefined switching behavior.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the ISL43L120IU in its MSOP-8 package?
The ISL43L120IU in the 8-lead MSOP package (M8.118) has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 190°C/W, as specified in the Thermal Information section of the datasheet. This value assumes mounting on a low-thermal-conductivity test board in free air - actual performance improves with copper pour and thermal vias.
How does the ISL43L120IU handle ESD protection on analog pins?
The ISL43L120IU integrates ESD protection diodes from each analog pin (NO1, NO2, COM1, COM2) to both V+ and GND, rated for >8kV per MIL-STD-883 Method 3015. These diodes clamp transient voltages but require proper supply sequencing: V+ must be applied before analog or digital signals to prevent forward conduction and potential latch-up.
