TMUX121: Usage Instructions for de-energized

Part Number: TMUX121

Tool/software:

Dear Technical Support Team,

I have some questions about TMUX121 when it is following condisions.

See attached file.

TMUX121.pdf

・The S-side circuit is de-energized, including TMUX121.
・The D-side circuit is energized and may communicate between Devices A and B.

Is it acceptable to use it this way?
Some devices occasionally have built-in protection circuits that may affect signal levels, so I want to confirm the following as a precaution.

Specifically, I'd like to confirm the following to clarify.

・Even when VDD, SEL, ENn, D1, and D2 are de-energized, are S1x and S2x in a high-impedance state?

・When VDD, SEL, ENn, S1x, and S2x are de-energized, are D1 and D2 in a high-impedance state?

→I think that TMUX121 has Power-Off Isolation feature, so when VDD = 0V, SEL, ENn, D1, D2, S1x, and S2x all become high-impedance.

    Is it correct?

Best Regards,

ttd

  • Hi TTD,

    Assuming that de-energized means giving 0V, then yes, your statements are correct! TMUX121 has powered-off protection, so when VDD = 0V, all the other pins are forced into a high-impedance state. If the D-side is energized with a voltage within the datasheet spec, then it may communicate with devices A&B.

    Best,
