Product details
Overview
ISL5120CB-T from Intersil is a low-voltage, single-supply, dual SPST analog switch with two normally open (NO) channels, designed for precision signal routing in battery-powered systems. It operates from +2.7V to +12V, delivers 19Ω ON-resistance at 5V, 28ns turn-on time, and 10nA max leakage - enabling high-fidelity audio/video switching and portable ADC/DAC interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the ISL5120CB-T datasheet, ISL5120CB-T pinout, ISL5120CB-T application, or ISL5120CB-T equivalent, this page provides verified circuit role, package mapping, real-world timing behavior, leakage performance at temperature extremes, and validated alternatives for dual-SPST analog signal path design.
Technical Context
The ISL5120CB-T implements fully CMOS-based bidirectional analog switches with integrated level shifters, enabling TTL/CMOS-compatible digital control across its full 2.7V–12V supply range. Its internal architecture ensures break-before-make is not guaranteed (unlike ISL5122/ISL5123), and all analog paths are referenced solely to V+ and GND - no bipolar operation supported.
Each channel features matched rON ≤1Ω, <5pC charge injection, and 76dB off-isolation at 1MHz. Signal integrity is maintained up to 300MHz due to low COM ON capacitance (21pF) and minimal crosstalk (−105dB), making it suitable for high-speed multiplexing in medical ultrasound front-ends and portable test equipment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.7V to +12V - supports direct integration with 3.3V, 5V, and 12V rails without level translation |
| ON Resistance (rON) | 19Ω at 5V - enables <1% gain error in 1kΩ sensor interface paths; degrades to 32Ω at 3.3V |
| Turn-On / Turn-Off Time | 28ns / 20ns at 5V - allows reliable sampling of >10 MSPS signals in sample-and-hold circuits |
| Charge Injection | 5pC max - limits voltage glitch to <5mV on 1nF hold capacitors, critical for precision ADC drivers |
| Leakage Current | 10nA max at +85°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance pH or thermocouple sensor nodes |
| Off Isolation | 76dB at 1MHz - suppresses interference between RF and baseband paths in handheld radios |
| Crosstalk | −105dB at 1MHz - prevents coupling between stereo audio channels or dual ADC inputs |
Pinout & Package
ISL5120CB-T is housed in an 8-lead SOT-23 package (Pb-free, RoHS compliant), with thermal resistance θJA = 215°C/W. Pin numbering follows standard SOT-23 top-view orientation (pin 1 at notch end, counterclockwise).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1 | Digital control input for Switch 1 | Accepts TTL/CMOS logic; drives NO1 channel ON when ≥2.4V (5V supply) |
| NO1 | Normally open analog terminal, Channel 1 | Connects to COM1 only when IN1 = HIGH; 8pF OFF capacitance minimizes signal feedthrough |
| COM1 | Analog common node, Channel 1 | Bidirectional path; supports ±0.3V beyond rails via ESD diodes; 21pF ON capacitance |
| GND | Ground reference | Return for both analog signal and digital logic; must be low-impedance for leakage control |
| V+ | Positive power supply | Single rail powering analog switches and internal level shifters; max 15V absolute rating |
| COM2 | Analog common node, Channel 2 | Independent of COM1; enables dual-path routing without shared impedance |
| NO2 | Normally open analog terminal, Channel 2 | Matches NO1 specs; rON matching ≤1Ω ensures gain tracking in dual-channel systems |
| IN2 | Digital control input for Switch 2 | Independent logic control; supports asynchronous switching of two signal paths |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent SPST NO switches | Enables simultaneous or staggered routing of two analog signals (e.g., dual-sensor readout) |
| 19Ω rON at 5V with ≤1Ω matching | Ensures <0.1% gain mismatch between channels in instrumentation amplifier gain-switch networks |
| 28ns tON / 20ns tOFF at 5V | Supports 35MHz clocked multiplexing in portable ultrasound beamformers |
| 5pC max charge injection | Maintains <1LSB error in 12-bit SAR ADC sample-and-hold stages with 1nF capacitors |
| 76dB off-isolation @1MHz | Blocks RF leakage from cellular transceivers into sensitive audio codec inputs |
| Pb-free SOT-23 package | Enables high-density layout in space-constrained mobile phone camera modules |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4617EUT+T | Higher rON (45Ω @5V), slower tON (65ns), but offers fault protection and ±15V tolerant inputs | Suitable for industrial PLC I/O modules requiring overvoltage robustness, not portable low-power designs | Choose MAX4617EUT+T only if input overvoltage >15V is expected; ISL5120CB-T excels in battery life-critical apps |
| ADG821BRMZ-REEL7 | Lower rON (0.5Ω @5V), but single-channel, higher supply current (1µA vs 0.1µA), and no SOT-23-8 option | Preferred for ultra-low-distortion audio line drivers where channel count is secondary to rON flatness | Select ADG821BRMZ-REEL7 when rON <1Ω is mandatory and board area allows SOIC-8 or additional ICs |
Compared with MAX4617EUT+T and ADG821BRMZ-REEL7, ISL5120CB-T uniquely balances ultra-low power (<5µW), dual-channel integration in SOT-23-8, and 19Ω rON - making it optimal for space- and energy-constrained portable instrumentation where fault protection or sub-1Ω rON are not required.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the ISL5120CB-T?
The ISL5120CB-T supports analog signals from 0V to V+, where V+ ranges from +2.7V to +12V. Signals exceeding V+ or falling below GND are clamped by internal ESD diodes - so the absolute maximum analog voltage is V+ + 0.3V or GND − 0.3V per Absolute Maximum Ratings. For a 5V supply, the safe analog range is 0V to 5V; applying 5.3V risks forward-biasing protection diodes and increasing leakage. This behavior is confirmed in the FN6022 datasheet Section "Absolute Maximum Ratings" and Figure 8.
Does the ISL5120CB-T support break-before-make switching?
No, the ISL5120CB-T does not guarantee break-before-make operation. Only ISL5122 and ISL5123 variants in the same family include this feature, as explicitly stated in the datasheet: "Guaranteed break-before-make (ISL5122/ISL5123 only)." The ISL5120CB-T's dual-NO architecture uses independent control inputs (IN1/IN2), and timing analysis shows overlap is possible during simultaneous switching. Designers requiring break-before-make must select ISL5122 or ISL5123 instead.
Can the ISL5120CB-T operate from a 3.3V supply, and how does performance change?
Yes, the ISL5120CB-T is fully specified at 3.3V: rON increases to 32Ω (vs 19Ω at 5V), tON extends to 40ns (vs 28ns), and charge injection remains ≤5pC. These values are measured under V+ = 3.0V–3.6V with VINH = 2.4V, as documented in Table "Electrical Specifications - 3.3V Supply" on Page 5 of FN6022. The device remains functional and stable, but designers should verify rON-induced gain error and settling time meet system requirements at 3.3V.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum junction temperature for the ISL5120CB-T in SOT-23 package?
The ISL5120CB-T in 8-lead SOT-23 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 215°C/W, and a maximum junction temperature of 150°C, per the "Thermal Information" table on Page 4 of FN6022. At 5V supply and full channel conduction (30mA), power dissipation is <150mW - resulting in ~32°C junction rise above ambient. This confirms suitability for sealed handheld enclosures up to +70°C ambient, assuming adequate PCB copper pour.
Is the ISL5120CB-T pin-compatible with earlier Intersil analog switches like ISL84541?
Yes, the ISL5120CB-T is a pin-compatible, improved-performance replacement for ISL84541, as confirmed in the "Features" section: "Improved (lower rON, faster switching), pin compatible replacements for ISL84541, ISL84542, ISL84543, ISL84544." Both use identical 8-lead SOT-23 pinout (IN1, NO1, COM1, GND, V+, COM2, NO2, IN2), and share the same logic thresholds and supply range - enabling drop-in upgrades without PCB revision.
