ZHCSIR9A September 2018 – December 2018 TMUX1511
PRODUCTION DATA.
Switches and multiplexers are commonly used in the feedback path of amplifier circuits to provide configurable gain control. By using various resistor values on each switch path the TMUX1511 allows the system to have multiple gain settings. An external resistor, or utilizing 1 channel always being closed, ensures the amplifier isn't operating in an open loop configuration. A transimpedance amplifier (TIA) for photodiodes is a common circuit that requires gain control using a multi-channel switch to convert the output current of the photodiode into a voltage for the MCU or processor. The leakage current, capacitance, and charge injection performance of the TMUX1511 are key specifications to evaluate when selecting a device for gain control.
