HI-539 ® Data Sheet August 2003 Precision, 4-Channel, Low-Level, Differential Multiplexer Features The Intersil HI-539 is a monolithic, 4-Channel, differential multiplexer. Two digital inputs are provided for channel selection, plus an Enable input to disconnect all channels. Performance is guaranteed for each channel over the voltage range ±10V, but is optimized for low level differential signals. Leakage current, for example, which varies slightly with input voltage, has its distribution centered at zero input volts. In most monolithic multiplexers, the net differential offset due to thermal effects becomes significant for low level signals. This problem is minimized in the HI-539 by symmetrical placement of critical circuitry with respect to the few heat producing devices. Supply voltages are ±15V and power consumption is only 2.5mW. • Differential Performance, Typical: - Low ∆rON , 125oC . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5.5Ω - Low ∆ID(ON) , 125oC. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.6nA - Low ∆ Charge Injection . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.1pC - Low Crosstalk . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -124dB • Settling Time, ±0.01% . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 900ns • Wide Supply Range . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ±5V to ±18V • Break-Before-Make Switching • No Latch-Up Applications • Low Level Data Acquisition • Precision Instrumentation • Test Systems Ordering Information PART NUMBER HI1-0539-5 TRUTH TABLE TEMP.

CROSSTALK Application Information General The Hl-539 accepts inputs in the range -15V to +15V, with performance guaranteed over the ±10V range. At these higher levels of analog input voltage it is comparable to the HI-509, and is plug-in compatible with that device (as well as the Hl-509A). However, as mentioned earlier, the Hl-539 was designed to introduce minimum error when switching low level inputs. Special care is required in working with these low level signals. The main concern with signals below 100mV is that noise, offset voltage, and other aberrations can represent a large percentage error. A shielded differential signal path is essential to maintain a noise level below 50µVRMS . Low Level Signal Transmission The transmission cable carrying the transducer signal is critical in a low level system. It should be as short as practical and rigidly supported. Signal conductors should be tightly twisted for minimum enclosed area to guard against pickup of electromagnetic interference, and the twisted pair should be shielded against capacitively coupled (electrostatic) interference. A braided wire shield may be satisfactory, but a lapped foil shield is better since it allows only 1/10 as much leakage capacitance to ground per foot. A key requirement for the transmission cable is that it presents a balanced line to sources of noise interference. This means an equal series impedance in each conductor plus an equally distributed impedance from each conductor to ground. The result should be signals equal in magnitude but opposite in phase at any transverse plane. Noise will be coupled in phase to both conductors, and may be rejected as common-mode voltage by a differential amplifier connected to the multiplexer output. 8 Coaxial cable is not suitable for low level signals because the two conductors (center and shield) are unbalanced. Also, ground loops are produced if the shield is grounded at both ends by standard BNC connectors. If coax must be used, carry the signal on the center conductors of two equal-length cables whose shields are terminated only at the transducer end. As a general rule, terminate (ground) the shield at one end only, preferably at the end with greatest noise interference. This is usually the transducer end for both high and low level signals. Watch Small ∆V Errors Printed circuit traces and short lengths of wire can add substantial error to a signal even after it has traveled hundreds of feet and arrived on a circuit board. Here, the small voltage drops due to current flow through connections of a few milliohms must be considered, especially to meet an accuracy requirement of 12 bits or more. Table 1 is a useful collection of data for calculating the effect of these short connections. (Proximity to a ground plane will lower the values of inductance.) As an example, suppose the Hl-539 is feeding a 12-bit converter system with an allowable error of ±1/2 LSB (±1.22mV). lf the interface logic draws 100mA from the 5V supply, this current will produce 1.28mV across 6 inches of #24 wire; more than the error budget. Obviously, this digital current must not be routed through any portion of the analog ground return network. HI-539 TABLE 1. IMPEDANCE PER FOOT WIRE GAGE EQUIVALENT WIDTH OF P.C. CONDUCTOR (2 oz.

No such path exists in Figure 8A, and consequently the amplifier output will remain in saturation. There are two major sources of ∆VOS . That part due to the expression (rON ∆lD(ON) + lD(ON) ∆rON) becomes significant with increasing temperature, as shown in the Electrical Specifications tables. The other source of offset is the thermocouple effects due to dissimilar materials in the signal path. These include silicon, aluminum, tin, nickel-iron and (often) gold, just to exit the package. A single large resistor (1MΩ to 10MΩ) from either signal line to power supply common will provide the required path, but a resistor on each line is necessary to preserve accuracy. A single pair of these bias current resistors on the HI-539 output may be used if their loading effect can be tolerated (each forms a voltage divider with rON). Otherwise, a resistor pair on each input channel of the multiplexer is required. The use of bias current resistors is acceptable only if one is confident that the sum of signal plus common-mode voltage will remain within the input range of the multiplexer/amplifier combination. Another solution is to simply run a third wire from the low side of the signal source, as in Figure 8B. This wire assures a low common-mode voltage as well as providing the path for bias currents. Making the connection near the multiplexer will save wire, but it will also unbalance the line and reduce the amplifier's common-mode rejection. 9 For the thermocouple effects in the package alone, the constraint on ∆VOS may be stated in terms of a limit on the difference in temperature for package pins leading to any channel of the Hl-539. For example, a difference of 0.13oC produces a 5µV offset. Obviously, this ∆T effect can dominate the ∆VOS parameter at any temperature unless care is taken in mounting the Hl-539 package. Temperature gradients across the Hl-539 package should be held to a minimum in critical applications. Locate the Hl539 far from heat producing components, with any air currents flowing lengthwise across the package. HI-539 HI-539 “FLOATING” SOURCE V+ rON + rON V- FIGURE 8A.

Figure 8B shows two alternative paths for these bias currents: either a pair of resistors, or (better) a third wire from the low side of the signal source.
