Product details
Overview
TMUX1511 from Texas Instruments is a low-capacitance, 4-channel, 1:1 SPST analog switch with powered-off protection up to 3.6V, 1.8V logic compatibility, 2Ω on-resistance, 3.3pF on-capacitance, and 3GHz bandwidth. It serves as a bidirectional signal path selector in high-speed digital isolation applications such as JTAG and SPI bus routing.
For engineers reviewing the TMUX1511 datasheet, TMUX1511 pinout, TMUX1511 application, or TMUX1511 equivalent, this device is selected for low-distortion signal switching in 1.5V–5.5V systems requiring fail-safe logic, powered-off isolation, and sub-60ns transition timing at 3.3V.
Technical Context
The TMUX1511 implements a CMOS transmission-gate architecture with independent active-high SELx control per channel. Its fail-safe logic enables control voltage application before VDD, and integrated 6MΩ pull-down resistors ensure defined OFF-state behavior during power sequencing.
Powered-off protection operates up to 3.6V on S/D pins when VDD = 0V, preventing back-powering through ESD diodes. Signal path supports bidirectional analog/digital signals up to VDD × 2 (max 5.5V), with off-isolation of –90dB at 100kHz and channel-to-channel crosstalk of –90dB under ON-state conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | 1.5V to 5.5V - supports single-supply operation across LDO-regulated 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V rails without level-shifting. |
| On-Resistance | 2Ω typical - minimizes voltage drop and power loss in high-current digital signal paths (e.g., JTAG TCK/SCLK). |
| On-Capacitance | 3.3pF - preserves signal integrity for >1Gbps data rates by limiting capacitive loading on source/drain nodes. |
| Bandwidth | 3GHz - enables full passband for PCIe Gen3, USB 3.0, and 3Gbps serial interfaces without attenuation. |
| Powered-off Protection | Up to 3.6V on S/D pins at VDD = 0V - prevents system-level back-powering and ensures safe hot-plug isolation. |
| Logic Compatibility | 1.8V logic thresholds - interoperates directly with modern SoC GPIOs without external translators. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and networking equipment operating in extended thermal environments. |
Pinout & Package
TMUX1511 is available in three package variants: 14-pin TSSOP (PW), 16-pin QFN (RSV), and 12-pin X2QFN (RWB). The TSSOP variant is the standard orderable option referenced in design documentation and evaluation use cases.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SEL1–SEL4 | Active-high digital control input | Each independently enables its corresponding Sx–Dx channel; internal 6MΩ pull-down ensures OFF state at power-up. |
| S1–S4 | Bidirectional signal source terminal | Accepts or delivers analog/digital signals; supports voltages up to VDD × 2 (max 5.5V) regardless of VDD state. |
| D1–D4 | Bidirectional signal drain terminal | Paired with Sx to form four independent SPST paths; identical voltage and current ratings as Sx pins. |
| VDD | Positive supply rail | Power source for internal logic and switch bias; requires 0.1µF decoupling capacitor to GND for stable high-frequency operation. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for supply and signal currents; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling into sensitive analog paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional signal path | Enables reuse of same physical trace for transmit/receive in half-duplex protocols like SPI and JTAG without direction control logic. |
| Fail-safe logic | Allows SELx voltage application prior to VDD ramp-up, eliminating risk of latch-up or undefined switching during power sequencing. |
| Powered-off protection | Blocks signal leakage and prevents back-powering when VDD is absent-critical for hot-swap and system-level isolation compliance. |
| Low on-capacitance (3.3pF) | Reduces RC delay and maintains edge rate integrity for high-speed clocks and data lines up to 3Gbps. |
| 1.8V logic compatible inputs | Direct interface with low-voltage I/O standards (e.g., ARM Cortex-M, FPGA banks) eliminates need for external level shifters. |
Applications
| JTAG Isolation | SPI Bus Multiplexing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74CBTLV3126 | Pinout-compatible but lacks powered-off protection and 1.8V logic support; max VIO = VCC only. | Not suitable for hot-swap or back-powered isolation scenarios; limited to 3.3V-only systems with no VDD sequencing constraints. | Select SN74CBTLV3126 only if powered-off protection and 1.8V logic are unnecessary and cost is primary constraint. |
| TMUX1574 | 4-channel, 1:2 (SPDT) configuration with same 3.3pF/2Ω specs, but adds dual-path selection per channel and higher supply range (1.08V–5.5V). | Supports multiplexing one source to two destinations (e.g., dual-flash boot selection), unlike TMUX1511's fixed SPST topology. | Choose TMUX1574 when flexible routing (SPDT) is required; TMUX1511 remains optimal for simple ON/OFF isolation per line. |
Compared with SN74CBTLV3126 and TMUX1574, the TMUX1511 uniquely balances SPST simplicity, powered-off safety, and 1.8V logic compatibility-making it the preferred choice for JTAG/SPI isolation where minimal BOM count and guaranteed fail-safe behavior are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum signal voltage the TMUX1511 can handle when powered on?
The TMUX1511 supports signal voltages up to VDD × 2 on its Sx and Dx pins, with an absolute maximum of 5.5V. For example, at VDD = 3.3V, signals up to 6.6V are permitted-but clamped at 5.5V per absolute maximum rating. This capability allows seamless interfacing with mixed-voltage systems without external clamping.
Does the TMUX1511 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on SEL pins?
No. The TMUX1511 integrates 6MΩ pull-down resistors on all SEL1–SEL4 pins, ensuring a defined logic-low state at power-up or during VDD ramp-up. External resistors are unnecessary unless specific timing or noise immunity requirements demand stronger biasing.
Can the TMUX1511 be used in AC-coupled high-speed serial links?
Yes. With 3GHz bandwidth, 3.3pF on-capacitance, and –90dB off-isolation at 100kHz, the TMUX1511 maintains signal integrity in AC-coupled applications such as USB 2.0, PCIe Gen1, and 100Mbps Ethernet PHY routing-provided DC biasing networks comply with VDD × 2 voltage limits.
How does powered-off protection work in the TMUX1511?
When VDD = 0V, the TMUX1511 blocks signal currents up to 3.6V on S/D pins using internal circuitry that isolates the channel FETs from the supply rail. This prevents back-powering of downstream VDD domains through ESD diodes-a key requirement for hot-plug compliance in modular systems.
Is the TMUX1511 pin-compatible with any industry-standard logic buffers?
Yes. The TMUX1511 TSSOP-14 package is pinout-compatible with SN74CBTLV3126, enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts where powered-off protection and 1.8V logic compatibility are added via firmware or minor schematic updates-no PCB revision required.
