All CMOS chips use Schottky diodes to both +/- rails to prevent SCR latchup and provide ESD protection.  A series current limiting resistor is adequate.

--- According to TI and NXP, the diodes are polysilicon. Where does your Schottky information stem from? -- JF

No. The "5 volt tolerant" parts usually allow +7 on pins, regardless of VCC. -- John Larkin Highland Technology Inc www.highlandtechnology.com jlarkin at highlandtechnology dot com Precision electronic instrumentation Picosecond-resolution Digital Delay and Pulse generators Custom timing and laser controllers Photonics and fiberoptic TTL data links VME analog, thermocouple, LVDT, synchro, tachometer Multichannel arbitrary waveform generators

Is it a current feedback amp or something, otherwise how could you possibly approach the current levels quoted to make the MUX act up?

Careful with the signal path on mux chips. That "regardless of VCC" often only applies to the control inputs. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/

AD8034 is rated for 60 mA short-circuit current, typ. I have an unused 1K r-pack section nearby, so I can limit the current into the mux. But the FSA3157 spec is fuzzy about what happens in the pullup direction. As Lasse points out, the analog pins probably have ESD diodes to Vcc, but the datasheet footnote is ambiguous. I was more generally interested in what the input circuit is like in those "5 volt tolerant" parts and I was hoping somebody would know. As Phil notes, most analog mux's behave badly if you do turn on the esd diodes, and the manufacturers must hire the NSA to make sure none of their data sheets or appnotes reveal that fact. -- John Larkin Highland Technology Inc www.highlandtechnology.com jlarkin at highlandtechnology dot com Precision electronic instrumentation Picosecond-resolution Digital Delay and Pulse generators Custom timing and laser controllers Photonics and fiberoptic TTL data links VME analog, thermocouple, LVDT, synchro, tachometer Multichannel arbitrary waveform generators

I know... I was bitten by that in my youth. In most CMOS mux's, if the analog switch pin voltage goes beyond either rail, a supposedly "off" switch turns on in common-source mode. And sometimes ESD diode current gets sprayed all over the chip. -- John Larkin Highland Technology Inc www.highlandtechnology.com jlarkin at highlandtechnology dot com Precision electronic instrumentation Picosecond-resolution Digital Delay and Pulse generators Custom timing and laser controllers Photonics and fiberoptic TTL data links VME analog, thermocouple, LVDT, synchro, tachometer Multichannel arbitrary waveform generators
