SCDS428A March 2020 – March 2021 TMUX4157N
PRODUCTION DATA
The application shown in Figure 9-1 demonstrates how to toggle between the DAC output and GND for control of a GaN power amplifier using a single control input. The DAC output is utilized to bias the gate of the power amplifier and can be disconnected from the circuit using the select pin of the switch. The TMUX4157N can support 1.8-V logic signals on the control input, allowing the device to interface with low logic controls of an FPGA or MCU. The TMUX4157N can be operated without any external components except for the supply decoupling capacitors. The select pin is recommended to have a pull-down or pull-up resistor to ensure the input is in a known state if the control signal becomes disconnected. All inputs to the switch must fall within the recommend operating conditions of the TMUX4157N including signal range and continuous current.
