Texas Instruments has a wide arrange of analog switches / multiplexers so it’s likely that a solution can be found for most systems somewhere within the switches / multiplexer portfolio. Narrowing down which device is the right fit may seem like a daunting task, but there is a plethora of resources that can be used to help navigate the different specifications and features listed in the datasheets that can guide you to the device that best fits your use case.

If you are unfamiliar with general principles and analog switches and multiplexers, TI Precision Labs video series on switches and multiplexers is a great place to begin. Here you will find a comprehensive curriculum of short training videos covering everything from the basics of analog switches and multiplexers, the features and parameters of analog switches and multiplexers to common applications.

Additionally, the Multiplexers and Signal Switches Glossary is an application report that provides a brief overview and introduction to the terminology, features and parameters for TI’s analog switches / multiplexers. This will briefly provide information on most parameters and features found in the datasheet.



The Selecting the Correct Texas Instruments Signal Switch application report is another useful tool that will provide a more in depth look at the terminology, features and parameters of TI’s analog switches / multiplexer. This will also provide a holistic selection guide for precision, general purpose and protection devices along with a breakdown of the Low-voltage (Vsignal =< 24V) and Mid-voltage (25V=<Vsignal=<99V) devices within each category of devices.



A comprehensive list of all technical documents for TI’s switches & multiplexers can be found in the technical documents tab from the switches & multiplexer home page.



As you can see there are many resources to leverage to learn more about TI’s analog switches / multiplexers. If you still have a question or are uncertain of any of the features or specifications listed for a TI device after looking through the resources, the Switches & Multiplexers Forum is a great way to get direct answers from a TI engineer. Chances are your question or one that is similar has already been asked or discussed in a previous thread or FAQ. I’d highly recommend searching the forums previous posts and FAQ’s to get the quickest answer possible. If you still can’t find what you’re looking for, posting a question directly to the forum will guarantee a response from a TI engineer within 24hrs!
