CD4052BPWR Overview
An analog multiplexer is a digitally controlled analog switch that connects one of several input signals to a single output. Within the signal-chain hierarchy, the CD4052B sits in the analog switches and multiplexers category of power and signal management ICs, serving as a fundamental building block between sensors or signal sources and ADCs, filters, or instrumentation amplifiers.
Key features include a typical ON resistance of 240 ohms, very low OFF leakage current of approximately 100 uA class static consumption, and built-in logic-level conversion via the VEE pin, which allows CMOS or TTL-level logic inputs to control analog signals spanning the full supply range. Bidirectional signal flow supports both multiplexing and demultiplexing, and the INH input provides a high-impedance state across all channels.
The device is fabricated in CMOS technology, delivering low static power consumption and high noise immunity. Analog signal swing extends to the full supply rails, making the part suitable for rail-to-rail signal routing. The TSSOP-16 body is 1.20 mm high with a 0.65 mm lead pitch for high-density surface-mount layouts. The part is RoHS compliant and lead-free.
Typical applications include audio signal routing, data acquisition input selection, ADC front-end channel expansion, and test and measurement equipment; it is also used in automotive LIN circuits where its wide supply range is beneficial.
Design tip: never exceed the 20V absolute maximum supply, place 100 nF decoupling capacitors close to VDD/VSS, and use the INH pin to implement channel isolation or power-down states.

Typical Applications
CD4052BPWR is suitable for 6 applications: Audio Signal Routing, Data Acquisition Channel Expansion, Automotive LIN Circuits, Test and Measurement Equipment, Sensor Front-End Selection, Video and Display Signal Switching.
Audio Signal Routing
The CD4052BPWR routes differential stereo audio signals among four sources with its dual 4:1 switch pair, which matches the two-channel structure of balanced audio links. Its very low OFF leakage current prevents crosstalk between deselected inputs, while full rail-to-rail signal swing on the 240 ohm ON path accommodates line-level signals without headroom concerns at 12V or higher supplies. Placed before a preamplifier or volume stage, it adds no switching artifacts beyond a modest series resistance, and the INH pin can mute all channels instantly during source changes to avoid audible transients.
Recommended
Data Acquisition Channel Expansion
In multi-channel data acquisition, the CD4052BPWR expands a single-ended or differential ADC input into four selectable channel pairs, quadrupling effective channel count at minimal cost. The 3V to 20V supply range lets it sit directly on higher-voltage analog rails, and the wide -55C to +125C operation suits industrial field equipment. Because ON resistance is 240 ohm, designers should buffer high-impedance sensor outputs or allow settling time for the RC formed with the ADC sampling capacitor before conversion, ensuring accurate acquisition of switched channels.
Recommended
Automotive LIN Circuits
The CD4052B is used in automotive LIN bus circuits where its wide 3V to 20V supply range tolerates battery-line fluctuation, and the Q1-qualified CD4052QPWRQ1 drop-in variant covers AEC-Q100 requirements. The differential 4:1 structure selects between LIN signaling paths or test modes on the transceiver board. Designers should note that surge events can exceed the 20V absolute maximum in this environment; TI's E2E forum documents field damage cases, so series protection resistors or TVS clamping on the switch channels are strongly recommended in production designs.
Recommended
Test and Measurement Equipment
Bench instruments and automated test equipment use the CD4052BPWR to switch differential measurement signals between four probe or fixture inputs and one measurement chain. The INH pin opens all channels to a high-impedance state, enabling safe hot-connection of fixtures without loading the circuit under test. CMOS technology draws negligible static current, keeping instrument standby power low, and the wide supply range allows signal handling from 3V logic domains up to 20V industrial signals on the same switch matrix.
Recommended
Sensor Front-End Selection
Industrial and IoT sensing nodes employ the CD4052BPWR to multiplex four differential sensor pairs, such as thermocouples or bridge sensors, into a single instrumentation amplifier. The VEE pin supports bipolar analog signals around ground while logic inputs remain at CMOS or TTL levels, simplifying interfacing with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers. Low OFF leakage preserves measurement accuracy of unselected sensors, and the 240 ohm ON resistance is negligible ahead of high-input-impedance amplifiers, making it a low-cost standard building block in condition-monitoring hardware.
Recommended
Video and Display Signal Switching
For composite-video or low-speed display signal selection in legacy and industrial display systems, the CD4052BPWR's rail-to-rail analog swing and differential pair switching route signal-plus-ground pairs between four sources and one receiver. The 240 ohm ON resistance is acceptable at lower video bandwidths when source and load impedances are buffered, and its -55C to +125C range supports outdoor and automotive displays. Designers should account for the ON-resistance flatness across voltage swing to minimize differential gain and phase errors in video paths.

Key Differentiators
- 20V wide supply range with VEE logic-level conversion (vs MC74HC4052ADTR2G)
- Automotive drop-in option in identical footprint (vs CD4052QPWRQ1)
- Extended -55C to +125C temperature range (vs MC74HC4052ADTR2G)
Design Notes
Never exceed the 20V absolute maximum supply (VDD-VSS and VDD-VEE). In automotive LIN applications TI's E2E forum reports field failures from surge events even below nominal 15V rails; add series resistance or TVS clamping on the analog channels. Place 100 nF ceramic decoupling close to VDD/VSS, and tie VEE to VSS when negative signal handling is not required.
The 240 ohm typical ON resistance forms an RC with the load capacitance; for ADC front ends, budget settling time before conversion or buffer high-impedance sources. ON resistance also varies with signal voltage and supply, so in precision paths account for RON flatness rather than using the single typical value.
Signals must remain between VEE and VDD; driving a channel below VEE forward-biases the CMOS protection structure. Use the INH pin for channel isolation or power-down states instead of removing supply. Unused channel pins should be tied to VSS or a defined rail to avoid floating leakage paths.
Compliance Information
RoHS compliant and lead-free per TI product data. AEC-Q100 not qualified - use CD4052QPWRQ1 for automotive.
