ADG1407 Drain and Source Capacitance

Thread Summary

The user is experiencing a lower than expected cutoff frequency in a 6-pole Butterworth filter using the ADG1407 dual 8:1 mux. The on capacitance (CdON and CsON) of the switches is suspected to be affecting the filter. The capacitance values are relatively stable with frequency and temperature, and the ADG1207, with lower capacitance, might be a better alternative despite its higher RdsON. No SPICE model is currently available for the ADG1407.

Hi

For  a new project I have selected the ADG1407 dual 8:1 mux. Three of these are used as part of a programmable 6-pole Butterworth filter (8 cut off frequencies) and there are multiple channels per instrument, with each channel having it's own filter.The filter is a cascade design, 3 stages of 2-pole Sallen-Key.

During prototyping I have noticed that the cut-of frequency fc of all filters is low. For example, for the 1kHz filter it is ~910Hz. This is true for all channels and the fc variation across channels is low.

I believe that the on capacitance of the switches are affecting the filter. The ADG1407 datasheet gives typical values of 70pF for CdON and CsON. This however is at f=1MHz while my frequency range is 100Hz to 20kHz.

I have some questions:

1) Do CdON and CsON vary with frequency (an approximate answer would be ok)?

2) How do CdON and CsON vary with temperature  (again an approximate variation or even a guesstimate would be ok)?

3) Can you provide me with a reasonable model for the ADG1407 mux when one switch is closed? I looked at MT-088 Figure 8. It shows CDS(ON) across the switch. But the datasheet doesn't give a value for this. What I have is 8 inputs connected to S1a to S1h and one output DA. So say S1a is switched to DA. Should I include CD(OFF) for the 7 switches which are not closed as they are internally connected to the drain? If I could get a reasonable model I could probably determine the resistor values needed for each stage.

4) I looked but could not find a SPICE model, I guess it is not available?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

regards
