APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The ADG701/ADG702 belong to Analog Devices’ new family
of CMOS switches. This series of general-purpose switches
have improved switching times, lower on resistance, higher
bandwidth, low power consumption, and low leakage currents.
ADG701/ADG702 SUPPLY VOLTAGES
Functionality of the ADG701/ADG702 extends from 1.8 V to
5.5 V single supply, making the parts ideal for battery-powered
instruments, where power efficiency and performance are
important design parameters.
It is important to note that the supply voltage affects the input
signal range, the on resistance, and the switching times of the
part. The effects of the power supplies can be clearly seen in the
Typical Performance Characteristics and the Specifications
sections.
For VDD = 1.8 V operation, RON is typically 40 Ω over the
temperature range.
ON RESPONSE VS. FREQUENCY
Figure 18 illustrates the parasitic components that affect the ac
performance of CMOS switches (a box surrounds the switch).
Additional external capacitances further degrade some per-
formance. These capacitances affect feedthrough, crosstalk,
and system bandwidth.

Where CT = CLOAD + CD + CDS.
The signal transfer characteristic is dependent on the switch
channel capacitance, CDS. This capacitance creates a frequency
zero in the numerator of the transfer function A(s). Because the
switch on resistance is small, this zero usually occurs at high
frequencies. The bandwidth is a function of the switch output
capacitance combined with CDS and the load capacitance. The
frequency pole corresponding to these capacitances appears in
the denominator of A(s).
The dominant effect of the output capacitance, CD, causes the
pole breakpoint frequency to occur first. In order to maximize
bandwidth, a switch must have a low input and output capaci-
tance and low on resistance. The on response versus frequency
for the ADG701/ADG702 can be seen in Figure 10.
OFF ISOLATION
Off isolation is a measure of the input signal coupled through
an off switch to the switch output. The capacitance, CDS, couples
the input signal to the output load, when the switch is off, as
shown in Figure 19.

Figure 19. Off Isolation Is Affected by External Load Resistance and
Capacitance
The larger the value of CDS, the larger the values of feedthrough
produced. Figure 9 illustrates the drop in off isolation as a
function of frequency. From dc to roughly 1 MHz, the switch
shows better than −75 dB isolation. Up to frequencies of 10
MHz, the off isolation remains better than −55 dB. As the
frequency increases, more and more of the input signal is
coupled through to the output. Off isolation can be maximized
by choosing a switch with the smallest CDS possible. The values
of load resistance and capacitance also affect off isolation, as
they contribute to the coefficients of the poles and zeros in the
transfer function of the switch when open.
