HEF4051B multiplexer protection

#1 Post by edprog » 23 Mar 2019 11:31

Hi

I am using the HEF4051B 8 channel analogue multiplexer as a switchable input to an ADC. The eight inputs goto a connector which then connects to the outside world. I was wondering about the protection you should provide for the HEF4051B? The HEF4051B does have internal protection circuit with clamping diodes. Is it ok to rely on this or should you use provide additional protection?

Hi Ed,
I would always go with additional protection.
