Product details
Overview
ISL5120CBZ-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 portable systems. It delivers 19Ω ON-resistance at 5V, 28ns turn-on time, <5µW power consumption, and operates from +2.7V to +12V - enabling high-fidelity audio/video switching and ADC/DAC multiplexing in space-constrained handheld devices.
For engineers reviewing the ISL5120CBZ-T datasheet, ISL5120CBZ-T pinout, ISL5120CBZ-T application, or ISL5120CBZ-T equivalent, this page provides verified circuit role, package mapping, real-world timing and leakage specs, and validated alternative options for dual NO analog switch designs requiring low rON, fast switching, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility.
Technical Context
The ISL5120CBZ-T implements CMOS-based bidirectional analog switches with integrated level shifters, enabling TTL/CMOS-compatible digital control across its full 2.7V–12V supply range. Its dual NO architecture isolates two independent signal paths without break-before-make sequencing.
Each channel features matched rON (≤1Ω), low charge injection (5pC max), and sub-10nA leakage at 25°C - critical for sample-and-hold accuracy and high-impedance sensor interfacing. The device uses Si-gate CMOS process with GND-biased substrate and no bipolar supply support.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.7V to +12V - supports direct integration with 3.3V, 5V, and 12V system rails without level translation |
| ON Resistance (rON) | 19Ω at 5V - ensures minimal signal attenuation and gain error in precision analog paths |
| rON Matching | ≤1Ω between channels - enables matched gain/attenuation in differential or dual-path circuits |
| Turn-On / Turn-Off Time | 28ns / 20ns at 5V - supports >10MHz multiplexing without pulse distortion in high-speed data acquisition |
| Charge Injection | 5pC max - limits voltage glitch in integrator reset and sample-and-hold applications |
| Leakage Current | 10nA max at 25°C - preserves DC accuracy in µA-level sensor front-ends and battery monitoring |
| Package | 8-pin SOT-23 - enables ultra-compact PCB layout for portable electronics with strict board area constraints |
Pinout & Package
ISL5120CBZ-T is housed in an 8-lead SOT-23 package (Pb-free, RoHS compliant) with standard thermal resistance θJA = 215°C/W. Pin functions are fully defined per datasheet FN6022 Rev 8.00.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN1) | Digital Control Input | Drives Channel 1 NO switch; logic high (≥2.4V) closes path between COM1 and NO1 |
| 2 (NO1) | Analog Switch Normally Open Terminal | Connects to COM1 only when IN1 = high; carries bidirectional analog signals up to V+ |
| 3 (COM1) | Analog Switch Common Terminal | Primary signal path node for Channel 1; interfaces with external circuitry or load |
| 4 (GND) | Ground Reference | System ground return for analog and digital sections; must be low-impedance for noise control |
| 5 (V+) | Positive Supply Rail | Powers internal CMOS switches and level shifters; sets analog signal range (0V to V+) |
| 6 (COM2) | Analog Switch Common Terminal | Primary signal path node for Channel 2; electrically isolated from COM1 |
| 7 (NO2) | Analog Switch Normally Open Terminal | Connects to COM2 only when IN2 = high; independent of Channel 1 operation |
| 8 (IN2) | Digital Control Input | Drives Channel 2 NO switch; logic high closes path between COM2 and NO2 |
Key Features

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 silicon die, identical electrical specs, but marked 'I20Z' and rated for -40°C to +85°C industrial temp range | Preferred for automotive or industrial environments where extended temperature operation is required | Select ISL5120IHZ-T when operating ambient exceeds 70°C or requires AEC-Q200-aligned reliability screening |
| TMUX1574RTER | 4-channel SPST, 5.5Ω rON at 3.3V, 1.8V–5.5V supply, 10-pin WQFN; higher integration but different pinout and control logic | Suitable for new designs needing more channels or lower voltage operation, not drop-in replacement | Choose TMUX1574RTER only for greenfield designs prioritizing channel density and ultra-low voltage support over footprint compatibility |
Compared with ISL5120IHZ-T, the ISL5120CBZ-T offers identical analog performance but narrower 0°C to +70°C rating; versus TMUX1574RTER, it provides proven SOT-23 compatibility and legacy design continuity at the cost of higher rON and fewer channels.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for ISL5120CBZ-T?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for ISL5120CBZ-T is +15V, though the recommended operating range is +2.7V to +12V. Operation above 12V risks exceeding specified timing and rON performance; the 15V limit provides margin for transient spikes on 12V rails. Always maintain input signals within V+ and GND to avoid forward-biasing internal ESD diodes.
Does ISL5120CBZ-T support break-before-make switching?
No, ISL5120CBZ-T does not implement break-before-make functionality - it is a dual normally open (NO) SPST switch with independent control of each channel. Break-before-make behavior is only guaranteed for ISL5122 and ISL5123 variants, which integrate complementary NO/NC topology. Using ISL5120CBZ-T for SPDT-like operation requires external timing control to avoid momentary shorts.
Can ISL5120CBZ-T operate from a 1.8V supply?
No, ISL5120CBZ-T is not specified for 1.8V operation. Its minimum recommended supply is +2.7V, and digital input thresholds (VINL ≤0.8V, VINH ≥2.4V) require sufficient headroom to ensure reliable logic recognition. At 1.8V, the internal level shifter cannot generate proper gate drive for the analog switches, resulting in undefined rON and potential failure to turn on.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of ISL5120CBZ-T in its SOT-23 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for ISL5120CBZ-T in the 8-lead SOT-23 package is 215°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions. This value assumes mounting on a low-thermal-conductivity board in still air; actual performance improves with copper pour or airflow. Maximum junction temperature must not exceed 150°C under continuous operation.
Is ISL5120CBZ-T pin-compatible with ISL84541?
Yes, ISL5120CBZ-T is explicitly documented as a pin-compatible, improved-performance replacement for ISL84541 - offering lower rON (19Ω vs 25Ω at 5V), faster switching (28ns vs 35ns tON), and reduced charge injection (5pC vs 10pC). No PCB layout changes are required when upgrading from ISL84541 to ISL5120CBZ-T in existing designs.
