GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADG3241 is a 2.5 V or 3.3 V, single digital switch. It is
designed on a low voltage CMOS process, which provides low
power dissipation yet gives high switching speed and very low on
resistance. This allows the input to be connected to the output
without additional propagation delay or generating additional
ground bounce noise.
The switch is enabled by means of the bus enable (BE) input
signal. This digital switch allows a bidirectional signal to be
switched when ON. In the OFF condition, signal levels up to
the supplies are blocked.
This device is ideal for applications requiring level translation.
When operated from a 3.3 V supply, level translation from 3.3 V
inputs to 2.5 V outputs is allowed. Similarly, if the device is
operated from a 2.5 V supply and 2.5 V inputs are applied, the
device will translate the outputs to 1.8 V. In addition to this, a
level translating select pin (SEL) is included. When SEL is low,
V
is reduced internally, allowing for level translation between
CC
3.3 V inputs and 1.8 V outputs. This makes the device suited to
applications requiring level translation between different supplies,
such as converter to DSP/microcontroller interfacing.

Typical values are at 25°C, unless otherwise stated.

4
The digital switch contributes no propagation delay other than the RC delay of the typical RON of the switch and the load capacitance when driven by an ideal voltage
source. Since the time constant is much smaller than the rise/fall times of typical driving signals, it adds very little propagation delay to the system. Propagation delay
of the digital switch when used in a system is determined by the driving circuit on the driving side of the switch and its interaction with the load on the driven side.

This current applies to the control pin BE only. The A and B ports contribute no significant ac or dc currents as they transition.

ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the
ADG3241 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices
subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended
to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

BUS SWITCH APPLICATIONS
Mixed Voltage Operation, Level Translation
Bus switches can provide an ideal solution for interfacing
between mixed voltage systems. The ADG3241 is suitable for
applications where voltage translation from 3.3 V technology to
a lower voltage technology is needed. This device can translate
from 3.3 V to 1.8 V, from 2.5 V to 1.8 V, or bidirectionally
from 3.3 V directly to 2.5 V.
Figure 4 shows a block diagram of a typical application in which
a user needs to interface between a 3.3 V ADC and a 2.5 V
microprocessor. The microprocessor may not have 3.3 V tolerant inputs, therefore placing the ADG3241 between the two
devices allows the devices to communicate easily. The bus
switch directly connects the two blocks, thus introducing
minimal propagation delay, timing skew, or noise.

The ADG3241 offers the option of interfacing between a 3.3 V
device and a 1.8 V device. This is possible through use of the
SEL pin. The SEL pin is an active low control pin. SEL activates internal circuitry in the ADG3241 that allows voltage
translation between 3.3 V devices and 1.8 V devices.

Bus Isolation
A common requirement of bus architectures is low capacitance
loading of the bus. Such systems require bus bridge devices that
extend the number of loads on the bus without exceeding the
specifications. Because the ADG3241 is designed specifically for
applications that do not need drive yet require simple logic
functions, it solves this requirement. The device isolates access
to the bus, thus minimizing capacitance loading.

Hot Plug and Hot Swap Isolation
The ADG3241 is suitable for hot swap and hot plug applications.
The output signal of the ADG3241 is limited to a voltage that is
below the V
supply, as shown in Figures 6, 8, and 10. Therefore
CC
the switch acts like a buffer to take the impact from hot insertion,
protecting vital and expensive chipsets from damage.
In hot plug applications, the system cannot be shut down when
new hardware is being added. To overcome this, a bus switch can
be positioned on the backplane between the bus devices and the
hot plug connectors. The bus switch is turned off during hot plug.
Figure 12 shows a typical example of this type of application.
There are many systems, such as docking stations, PCI boards
for servers, and line cards for telecommunications switches, that
require the ability to handle hot swapping. If the bus can be
isolated prior to insertion or removal, there is more control over
the hot swap event. This isolation can be achieved using bus
switches. The bus switches are positioned on the hot swap card
between the connector and the devices. During hot swap, the
ground pin of the hot swap card must connect to the ground pin
of the backplane before any other signal or power pins.
Analog Switching
Bus switches can be used in many analog switching applications,
for example, video graphics. Bus switches can have lower on
resistance, smaller ON and OFF channel capacitance, and thus
improved frequency performance than their analog counterparts.
The bus switch channel itself, consisting solely of an NMOS
switch, limits the operating voltage (see TPC 1 for a typical
plot), but in many cases, this does not present an issue.
High Impedance During Power-Up/Power-Down
To ensure the high impedance state during power-up or powerdown, BE should be tied to V
through a pull-up resistor; the
CC
minimum value of the resistor is determined by the currentsinking capability of the driver.
