SCDS461A November 2023 – January 2025 TMUX7348F-EP
PRODUCTION DATA
In large applications, telemetry subsystems must take information from many sensors to monitor the overall health and performance of the system. This can result in the need for multiple ADCs and amplifiers to measure all this sensor data and send it to the processor. By using a multiplexer, the number of components in the system can drastically be reduced to save system cost, weight, and size. Additionally, the ADC and other downstream components will be protected from any overvoltage or miswiring events on the sensor inputs (up to ±60-V), because of the fault protection on the TMUX7348F-EP. These fault conditions may include, but are not limited to: human error from wiring connections incorrectly, component failure or wire shorts, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and transient disturbances.
