Ensures your signals are channeled precisely using MUX508 and STM32L496AG

MUX 2 Click is based on the MUX508, a precise analog multiplexing from Texas Instruments. The MUX508 can be used with a wide range of power supplies. It can handle dual and single power supplies and symmetrical and non-symmetrical ones. This allows it to be used in a wide range of different applications. Four control pins switch one of eight inputs to a single output. Control pins labeled A0, A1, and A2 are routed to the mikroBUS™ and can be operated by both 3.3V and 5V MCUs. The fourth control pin, labeled as EN pin, is used to enable the internal multiplexing switches of the IC when set to a HIGH logic level (active HIGH). A0, A1, and A2 pins are routed to the RST, PWM, and INT pins of the mikroBUS™, respectively, while the EN pin is routed to the CS pin on the mikroBUS™. The MUX508 is targeted toward working with both bipolar and unipolar

single-ended inputs. Each input is labeled S1 to S8. When a specific channel is selected using the A0 to A2 pins, it will be switched to the output pin, labeled as D. For improved stability, each pin is equipped with the 100nF parallel capacitor and 100Ω series resistance. The input and the output signal pins are routed to the standard 2.54mm pitch 2x5 pins header on the Click board™. The ultra-low leakage current ensures no signal interference from the inputs that the A0, A1, and A2 pins do not select. Low crosstalk also ensures that the signal on one channel remains clean of interferences caused by other channels. A break-before-make switching action is utilized to prevent any two inputs from being switched at the output simultaneously. This ensures the reliable operation of the IC and the Click board™ itself. MUX 2 Click does not use the power from the mikroBUS™

power rails, except for the LED indicator. Instead, a three-pole screw terminal connects an external power supply. Considering the minimum input voltage of 10V or ±5V, a power supply should be connected to this terminal before operating the Click board™. The input and output signals can be connected via the 2x5 pins header. As mentioned before, the MUX508 IC supports rail-to-rail operation. Independent power supply input allows the user to work with a wide range of signal amplitudes, depending on the application requirements, as long as the power supply stays within limits. More information about the MUX508 can be found in the attached datasheet. Also, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
