ADI's fail-safe switch multiplexers are used for overvoltage protection, power failure protection, high ESD and latch-up. These switches and multiplexers are optimized for ruggedness and protection, and provide high performance in industry-leading small packages. These devices are self-protecting and are often used on PCB edges prone to overvoltage problems.
These switches, multiplexers, and channel protectors protect equipment caused by power sequencing failures, sleep mode switching, voltage spikes, and other possible problems. In addition to fault detection, these devices generate reports for system diagnostics, in which case it is important to understand the status of the system. These switches and multiplexers are used in automotive, instrumentation, aerospace and defense applications.
