The CD4051BM96 is a multiplexer switch IC manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is an 8-channel analog integrated circuit (IC) that allows up to 8 independent analog signals to be routed to a single input. The CD4051BM96 is a single supply device that operates on either 3 or 5 volts of power and can be used to implement various analog functions such as analog signal multiplexing, voltage level shifting, sample and hold operations and other functions. The IC has a high switch drive capability (2.5mA) and a low on-resistance (425?) which makes it compatible for higher voltage switching applications. The CD4051BM96 IC also features different logic control functions including an active low enable (EN) and an analog select function (S). The EN feature is used to control the state of the multiplexer, while the S function is used to select which input is to be routed to the output. The S function can be implemented using an up/down counter, which is a type of digital logic circuit. In addition, the multiplexer switch IC has low power consumption and fast switching times, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
