The TMUX1308 and TMUX1309 device have Fail-Safe Logic on the control input pins (EN, A0, A1, and A2) allowing for operation up to 5.5-V, regardless of the state of the supply pin. This feature allows voltages on the control pins to be applied before the supply pin, protecting the device from potential damage. Fail-Safe Logic minimizes system complexity by removing the need for power supply sequencing on the logic control pins. For example, the Fail-Safe Logic feature allows the select pins of the TMUX1308 and TMUX1309 to be ramped to 5.5-V while V_DD = 0-V. Additionally, the feature enables operation of the multiplexers with V_DD = 1.8-V while allowing the select pins to interface with a logic level of another device up to 5.5-V, eliminating the potential need for an external voltage translator.
