ADG441 Analog Devices Data Sheet
Summary
These high-performance CMOS switches deliver four independently selectable, low-loss switching paths perfect for signal routing in demanding applications. Featuring extended signal range up to supply rails, ultra-low on resistance ($\text{R}_\text{ON}$), and break-before-make action, they are ideal for audio/video multiplexers, ATE, and battery-powered equipment. The accompanying documentation details full specifications, single and dual-supply operation guidelines, and advanced protection features like trench isolation safeguards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the key benefit of break-before-make switching?
This action prevents channel shorting when the switches are configured as a multiplexer.
Can these devices operate from different voltage supplies?
Yes, they are suitable for single-rail power supplies and have an input signal range that extends to the supply rails.
What makes the ADG444 unique compared to ADG441/ADG442?
The ADG444 requires a separate 5 V logic power supply, unlike the others which generate it internally.
In what applications are these switches useful?
They are suitable for audio and video switching, communication systems, and automatic test equipment.
