Overview
Le MUX 2 Click Board™ commute l'une des huit entrées vers une sortie. Il utilise le MUX508, un circuit intégré de multiplexage analogique CMOS moderne, produit par Texas Instruments. Ce circuit intégré peut être alimenté à la fois par des alimentations doubles, allant de ±5 V à ±18 V, et par des alimentations simples, allant de 10 V à 36 V. Il offre un fonctionnement rail à rail, permettant au signal d'entrée de monter (et de descendre) en fonction de la tension de l'alimentation, sans distorsion. Des caractéristiques telles que l'action de commutation avant fermeture, la protection contre les décharges électrostatiques jusqu'à 2 kV, une faible résistance à l'état passant et une faible fuite de courant d'entrée font de ce circuit une solution parfaite pour diverses applications de commutation, fonctionnant avec des signaux unipolaires et bipolaires.
Il est livré dans un package qui comprend également le logiciel mikroSDK et une bibliothèque avec toutes les fonctions. Le MUX 2 Click Board™ est livré sous la forme d'un prototype entièrement testé et approuvé, ce qui en fait un appareil fiable prêt à être utilisé sur la carte de développement.

How Does The MUX 2 Click Board™ Work?
The MUX 2 Click Board™ is equipped with the MUX508, a precise analog multiplexing IC, produced by Texas Instruments. The MUX508 can be used with a wide range of power supplies. It can handle both dual and single power supplies, as well as the symmetrical and non-symmetrical ones. This allows it to be used in a very wide range of different applications. Four control pins are used to switch one of eight inputs to a single output. Control pins labeled as A0, A1, and A2 are routed to the mikroBUS™ and can be operated by both 3.3V and 5V MCUs. The fourth control pin is labeled as EN pin, and it is used to enable the internal multiplexing switches of the IC, when is set to a HIGH logic level (it is active HIGH). A0, A1, and A2 pins are routed to RST, PWM, and INT pins of the mikroBUS™ respectively, while the EN pin is routed to the CS pin on the mikroBUS™.
The MUX508 IC is targeted towards working with both bipolar and unipolar single-ended inputs. Each input is labeled as S1 to S8. When a specific channel is selected by using the A0 to A2 pins, it will be switched to the output pin, labeled as D. For the 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 that there is no signal interference from the inputs that are not selected by the A0, A1, and A2 pins. A low crosstalk also ensures that the signal on one channel remains clean of interferences caused by other channels. To prevent any two inputs to be switched at the output at the same time, a break-before-make switching action is utilized. This ensures a reliable operation of the IC and the Click board™ itself.
The MUX 2 Click Board™ does not use the power from the mikroBUS™ power rails, except for the LED indicator. Instead, a three-pole screw terminal is used to connect an external power supply. Having in mind the minimum input voltage of 10V or ±5V, a power supply should be connected to this terminal before operating the MUX 2 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 the limits.
More information about the MUX508 can be found in the attached datasheet. However, the MUX 2 Click Board™ comes equipped with a library that contains easy to use functions and a usage example that may be used as a reference for the development.
