APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

The ADG721/ADG722/ADG723 belongs to Analog Devices’

new family of CMOS switches. This series of general purpose

switches have improved switching times, lower on resistance,

higher bandwidths, low power consumption and low leakage

currents.

ADG721/ADG722/ADG723 Supply Voltages

Functionality of the ADG721/ADG722/ADG723 extends from

+1.8 V to +5.5 V single supply, which makes it ideal for battery

powered instruments, where important design parameters are

power efficiency and performance.

It is important to note that the supply voltage effects the input

signal range, the on resistance and the switching times of the

part. By taking a look at the typical performance characteristics

and the specifications, the effects of the power supplies can be

clearly seen.

On Response vs. Frequency

Figure 8 illustrates the parasitic components that affect the ac

performance of CMOS switches (the switch is shown surrounded

by a box). Additional external capacitances will further degrade

some performance. These capacitances affect feedthrough,

crosstalk and system bandwidth.

Components

The transfer function that describes the equivalent diagram of

the switch (Figure 8) is of the form (A)s shown below.

where:

The signal transfer characteristic is dependent on the switch

zero in the numerator of the transfer function A(s). Because the

switch on resistance is small, this zero usually occurs at high

frequencies. The bandwidth is a function of the switch output

frequency pole corresponding to these capacitances appears in

the denominator of A(s).

pole breakpoint frequency to occur first. Therefore, in order to

maximize bandwidth a switch must have a low input and

output capacitance and low on resistance. The On Response

vs. Frequency plot for the ADG721/ADG722/ADG723 can

be seen in Figure 7.

Off Isolation

Off isolation is a measure of the input signal coupled through an

the input signal to the output load, when the switch is off as

shown in Figure 9.

produced. The typical performance characteristic graph of Fig-

ure 5 illustrates the drop in off isolation as a function of fre-

quency. From dc to roughly 1 MHz, the switch shows better

than –80 dB isolation. Up to frequencies of 10 MHz, the off

isolation remains better than –60 dB. As the frequency increases,

more and more of the input signal is coupled through to the

output. Off isolation can be maximized by choosing a switch

and capacitance also affect off isolation, as they contribute to

the coefficients of the poles and zeros in the transfer function of

the switch when open.
