Product details
Overview
ISL5120CBZ from Intersil is a low-voltage, single-supply, dual SPST analog switch with two normally open (NO) channels. It operates from +2.7V to +12V, delivers 19Ω ON-resistance at 5V, 28ns turn-on time, and 10nA max leakage current. It enables signal routing in space-constrained portable systems such as cellular handsets and medical ultrasound front-ends where low power and high channel matching are critical.
For engineers reviewing the ISL5120CBZ datasheet, ISL5120CBZ pinout, ISL5120CBZ application, or ISL5120CBZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual NO topology, SOT-23-8 package compatibility, guaranteed rON matching ≤1Ω, and break-before-make exclusion (unlike ISL5122/ISL5123), making it suitable for independent channel switching in ADC multiplexing and audio path selection.
Technical Context
The ISL5120CBZ implements CMOS-based bidirectional analog switches with integrated level shifters that translate TTL/CMOS logic inputs (0.8V/2.4V thresholds) into full-rail gate drive signals across its 2.7–12V supply range. Its internal architecture uses matched P- and N-channel transistor pairs per switch to minimize rON variation and charge injection.
It features no internal break-before-make logic-each of its two NO switches operates independently with no timing interlock. All analog pins (NO1, NO2, COM1, COM2) exhibit identical 8pF OFF capacitance and 21pF ON capacitance at 1MHz, supporting consistent high-frequency signal integrity up to 300MHz in 50Ω systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | Dual SPST, both normally open (NO) - enables independent signal routing without channel coupling |
| rON @ 5V | 19Ω typical - ensures minimal voltage drop and signal distortion in precision analog paths |
| rON Matching | ≤1Ω max - guarantees matched gain/attenuation in differential or dual-path circuits |
| tON/tOFF | 28ns / 20ns @ 5V - supports high-speed multiplexing in data acquisition and video switching |
| Leakage Current | 10nA max @ 25°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance sensor interfaces and integrator reset networks |
| Charge Injection | 5pC max - minimizes voltage glitch on sampled nodes in sample-and-hold and ADC front-ends |
| Supply Range | +2.7V to +12V single supply - allows direct integration with 3.3V, 5V, and 12V system rails without level translation |
Pinout & Package
ISL5120CBZ is housed in an 8-lead SOT-23 package (RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 2), optimized for compact PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL5120IHZ-T | Same electrical specs; SOT-23-8 package with bottom-side marking (I20Z); -40°C to +85°C temp range vs. 0°C to +70°C for ISL5120CBZ | Preferred for industrial or automotive-adjacent environments requiring extended temperature operation | Select ISL5120IHZ-T when operating beyond 70°C or requiring Pb-free annealed terminations per J-STD-020 |
| TMUX1101DRYR | Lower rON (0.5Ω typ @ 5V), but higher leakage (100nA), no guaranteed rON matching, and 3.6V absolute max supply | Suitable for low-voltage (<3.6V) precision muxing but not for 5V/12V mixed-rail or high-matching applications | Choose TMUX1101DRYR only for 3.3V-only systems prioritizing ultra-low rON over leakage or matching |
Compared with ISL5120IHZ-T, ISL5120CBZ offers identical switching performance but narrower temperature rating and SOIC packaging; versus TMUX1101DRYR, ISL5120CBZ provides superior leakage control, wider supply range, and guaranteed channel matching-critical for metrology-grade signal routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for ISL5120CBZ?
The ISL5120CBZ has an absolute maximum supply voltage of +15V, with recommended operation from +2.7V to +12V. Operation at 12V yields optimal performance: 11Ω rON, 25ns tON, and 17ns tOFF. Exceeding 12V does not improve specs and risks violating long-term reliability limits defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the FN6022 datasheet.
Does ISL5120CBZ support break-before-make switching?
No, ISL5120CBZ does not implement break-before-make logic. As a dual NO SPST device, each switch operates independently-IN1 controls NO1–COM1, and IN2 controls NO2–COM2-with no timing interlock. Break-before-make is only guaranteed for ISL5122 and ISL5123 variants, per the Truth Table and Feature Summary in the FN6022 datasheet.
Can ISL5120CBZ be used with 3.3V logic inputs while powered from a 5V supply?
Yes, ISL5120CBZ accepts TTL/CMOS logic inputs across its full supply range: VINL ≤0.8V and VINH ≥2.4V are valid at V+ = 5V. The internal level shifter ensures reliable switching regardless of whether the control signal originates from a 3.3V MCU or 5V FPGA, as confirmed in the Digital Input Characteristics section (page 5) of the FN6022 datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of ISL5120CBZ in its SOT-23-8 package?
The ISL5120CBZ in the 8-lead SOT-23 package has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 215°C/W, measured under standard JEDEC test conditions (low-thermal-conductivity board, free air). This value assumes no copper pour or thermal vias; adding 1-in² copper pad reduces θJA by ~30°C/W, per Intersil Tech Brief TB379 referenced in the datasheet.
Is ISL5120CBZ pin-compatible with older Intersil analog switches like ISL84541?
Yes, ISL5120CBZ is explicitly documented as a pin-compatible, improved-performance replacement for ISL84541 (dual NO SPST), ISL84542 (dual NC), ISL84543 (NO/NC), and ISL84544 (SPDT), as stated in the Features section of the FN6022 datasheet. Electrical improvements include lower rON, faster switching, and reduced charge injection-no PCB layout change is required for drop-in replacement.
