The TS410x series of multiplexers offer no compromise performance for the best signal
integrity, simple design, and low power operation as they can operate at a supply voltage as low as 0.8 V while accepting an input signal swing above the supply voltage up
to 5.25 V ("Rail-to-Rail Plus™"). Additionally, the on-resistance variation over the entire
signal swing range is less than 1%, exhibiting excellent linearity and consistency in dynamic and measurement applications. The evaluation boards are simple to use and allow quick evaluation of the performance of the multiplexers.
KEY FEATURES
• TS4100: 1x 8 Channel Multiplexer
• TS4101: 2x 4 Channel Multiplexer
• TS4102: 3x Single-pole/Double-throw
Switch (SPDT)
The board is configured for testing all eight channels, NO0-NO7, or all three single-pole/
double-throw switches with a dc input voltage derived from VDD. Jumper INH is available
to turn all switches OFF. Jumper A, B, and C is available to select an input, NC or NO.
These switches are fully specified over the -40 ºC to +85 ºC temperature range and are

The TS4100 demo board is configured with a COM output resistor and capacitor load of 1 kΩ and 10 pF. The TS4100 operates at a
supply voltage range of 0.8 V to 5.25 V and an analog input/output "Rail-to-Rail Plus™" range of 0 V to 5.25 V.
The TS4100 can be tested with an on-board dc input signal or an external ac input signal. The on-board voltage is generated via a
voltage divider circuit. The complete demo board circuit is shown in Figure 2.1 TS4100DB Schematic on page 6. To select a channel
or turn OFF all channels, jumper A, B, C, and INH can be set according to the table above.

Procedure Description
To evaluate the TS4100 analog 8-channel switch/multiplexer, perform the following steps:
1. Before connecting the dc power supply to the demo board, turn on the power supply, set the dc voltage to 1.5 V, and then turn it
off.
2. Connect the dc power supply positive terminal to the test point labeled VDD. Connect the negative terminal of the dc power supply
to the test point labeled GND.
3. Set jumpers A, B, and C to a HIGH state by moving the jumper position from LO to HI.
4. Find the 16-pin header on the board labeled INPUTS. Place a jumper on the two-pin header labeled 7. This sets a dc voltage to
channel NO7.
5. To monitor the COM output signal, connect the positive terminal of the digital voltmeter to the test point labeled as COM and the
negative terminal to the adjacent test point labeled as GND.
6. Turn on the power supply and check that the digital voltmeter is reading an output voltage of approximately 1.39 V. With an output
voltage of 1.39 V across an output resistor value of 1 kΩ, the resulting load current is 1.39 mA. This yields an on-resistance of
approximately 79 Ω, which is well within the data sheet on-resistance specification.
7. To test a different channel, refer to the table above and make the appopriate changes to jumpers A, B, and C.
Measuring the Supply Current
1. Turn off the power supply and connect a digital ammeter in series with the power supply.
2. Remove the positive terminal of the digital voltmeter from the COM output test point.
3. Remove jumper J1 and the jumper on the selected channel.
4. Turn on the power supply and check that the diigital ammeter is reading a supply current less than 765 nA.
Applying an External Input Signal
1. Turn off the power supply.
2. Connect the positive terminal of a dc power supply or an ac signal generator to the test point labeled "0" on the 16-pin header
labeled INPUTS. Connect the negative terminal to a test point labeled GND. For an ac input signal, make sure the maximum input
voltage level is less than 5.25 V and the mimimum innput voltage level is greater than 0 V. For a dc input signal, make sure the
input voltage is less than 5.25 V and greater than 0 V.
3. Check that the ac input signal levels are within the levels specified in the previous step with an oscilloscope. Check a dc input
voltage level with a voltmeter.
4. With an applied dc input signal, connect the positive terminal of the digital voltmeter to the test point labeled as COM and the negative terminal to the adjacent test point labeled as GND. With an applied ac input signal, connect the signal terminal of an oscilloscope probe to the test point labeled as COM and the ground terminal to the adjacent test point labeled as GND.
5. Turn on the power supply.
6. Turn on the dc power supply input signal or ac signal generator. For a dc input signal, monitor the digital voltmeter. For an ac input
signal, monitor the oscilloscope.
Turn Off All Switches
1. Turn off the power supply.
2. Remove the jumper between INH and LO and connect it between INH and HI. Refer to Table 1.1 TS4100DB Address Bits on page
