Product details
Overview
M74HC4051B1R from STMicroelectronics is a single 8-channel analog multiplexer/demultiplexer with bidirectional switches, logic-level translation (0–6 V digital control ↔ ±6 V analog signal), 70 Ω typical ON resistance at 4.5 V supply, 15 ns typical propagation delay, and ±6 V analog input range. It operates across 2–12 V supply differential (VCC–VEE) and is used in precision analog signal routing for data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the M74HC4051B1R datasheet, M74HC4051B1R pinout, M74HC4051B1R application, or M74HC4051B1R equivalent, key selection criteria include analog voltage range compatibility, ON resistance matching, inhibit-controlled channel disable, and SOP-16/TSSOP-16 package availability for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The device integrates eight digitally controlled analog switches with built-in level shifting to interface 5 V CMOS logic with ±6 V analog signals. Its VEE pin enables negative rail support, and the INH input provides global switch disable independent of address lines A/B/C.
Switching is governed by a 3-bit binary decoder (A, B, C) selecting one of eight I/O channels to connect bidirectionally with the common COM terminal. All inputs feature ESD protection, and crosstalk between channels is limited to –50 dB under specified test conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC–VEE Range | 2–12 V: supports dual-supply operation from ±1 V to ±6 V rails, enabling flexible analog signal swing design. |
| ON Resistance | 70 Ω typ @ 4.5 V (VCC–VEE): ensures minimal signal attenuation and distortion in low-frequency analog paths. |
| Analog Input Range | ±6 V peak: allows full-scale handling of bipolar sensor outputs and audio signals without external level-shifting. |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns typ @ 25 °C: enables reliable switching in medium-speed data acquisition and sample-and-hold timing. |
| Logic Compatibility | CMOS-level inputs (VIH = 3.15 V min @ 4.5 V VCC): ensures direct interfacing with HC-series microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| Crosstalk | –50 dB @ 1 kHz sine wave: maintains channel isolation critical for multi-sensor multiplexing in instrumentation. |
| Supply Current | 4 μA max @ 25 °C: reduces quiescent power in battery-powered portable measurement devices. |
Pinout & Package
Available in SOP-16 and TSSOP-16 packages - both RoHS-compliant, lead-free ECOPACK® variants with 1.27 mm (SOP) or 0.65 mm (TSSOP) pitch. Pinout is identical across packages and matches industry-standard 74-series 4051 layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4, 12–15 | Channel I/O (0–7) | Bidirectional analog terminals; each connects to COM when selected; supports ±6 V signal routing. |
| 3 | COM (Common) | Shared analog path for all channels; must be connected to ADC input, DAC output, or signal source/sink. |
| 6 | INH (Inhibit) | Active-high global disable: forces all switches OFF regardless of A/B/C state; essential for safe signal isolation. |
| 7 | VEE | Negative analog supply rail; sets lower bound of analog input range; tied to GND for unipolar operation. |
| 8 | GND | Digital ground reference; separate from VEE unless unipolar configuration is used. |
| 9–11 | A, B, C | 3-bit binary address inputs; decode to select one of eight channels; CMOS-compatible thresholds. |
| 16 | VCC | Positive digital/analog supply; defines logic high threshold and upper analog voltage limit (VCC–VEE). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level translation | Enables 0–6 V digital control signals to safely route ±6 V analog signals without external level shifters. |
| Low ON resistance mismatch | ΔRON ≤ 5 Ω typ @ 4.5 V: minimizes gain error and channel-to-channel signal variation in precision measurement. |
| High noise immunity | VNIH/VNIL = 28 % VCC min: rejects digital noise on address/control lines in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| ESD-protected inputs | Integrated protection against ±2 kV HBM: improves board-level robustness during handling and system integration. |
| Wide bandwidth | fMAX = 200 MHz @ 6 V (VCC–VEE): supports RF sampling and fast-switching applications up to ~100 MHz fundamental. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD74HC4051M96 | Higher max VCC–VEE (15 V); no VEE pin - requires external bias for bipolar operation; RON = 80 Ω typ @ 4.5 V. | Lacks integrated level shifting; needs external circuitry to handle ±6 V analog signals with 5 V logic. | Select when higher supply margin is needed and bipolar signal routing is implemented externally. |
| ADG708BRUZ | Lower RON (3.5 Ω typ @ 3 V); 3 V–5.5 V only; no VEE pin; guaranteed monotonic switching; 16-lead TSSOP only. | Not suitable for ±6 V analog signals; optimized for low-voltage, low-distortion audio and medical front-ends. | Select for ultra-low RON and THD in battery-powered portable instruments where supply is strictly 3.3 V. |
Compared with CD74HC4051M96 and ADG708BRUZ, the M74HC4051B1R uniquely combines integrated level shifting, ±6 V analog support, and pin compatibility with legacy 4051 designs-making it optimal for retrofitting or upgrading existing 74HC-based analog routing systems.

FAQ
Can M74HC4051B1R operate with VEE = GND?
Yes - tying VEE to GND configures the device for unipolar operation (0 V to VCC analog range). In this mode, the COM and channel I/O pins accept signals from 0 V to VCC, and the INH, A, B, and C inputs remain compatible with standard 5 V CMOS logic levels. This configuration is commonly used in microcontroller-based ADC multiplexing.
What is the maximum analog signal frequency supported?
The M74HC4051B1R supports up to 200 MHz small-signal bandwidth (–3 dB point) when VCC–VEE = 6 V and RL = 50 Ω. For large-signal integrity, slew rate and THD specifications indicate optimal use below 100 kHz for <0.02 % distortion, especially with ±6 V peak sine waves and 10 kΩ load conditions.
Does INH override A/B/C address inputs?
Yes - when INH is driven high, all eight analog switches are forced into the OFF state regardless of the logic states on A, B, or C. This hard-disable function isolates the COM terminal from all channel I/Os, preventing signal leakage or back-driving during power sequencing, sleep mode, or fault conditions.
Is M74HC4051B1R pin-compatible with older 4051 variants?
Yes - it is pin- and function-compatible with the 74HC4051, CD74HC4051, and original CMOS4000B-series 4051 devices. The SOP-16 and TSSOP-16 footprints match industry-standard 4051 layouts, enabling drop-in replacement without PCB redesign, provided thermal and decoupling requirements are verified.
