how to avoid the switching transients genertated by ADG1206 multiplexer

Thread Summary

The user is experiencing switching noise spikes at the input of the ADG1206 multiplexer when routing the AD588 reference output to the ADC. The spikes are also reflected in the analog output. The final answer suggests checking the measurement setup and using a voltage follower to isolate the reference output, but the user notes that this approach still results in spikes. The engineer recommends switching between two nodes of equal potential to isolate charge injection and suggests that a voltage buffer might exacerbate the issue by affecting the feedback node stability.

iam using ADG1206 multiplexer in my design which routes the analog signal to the ADC based on the address selection.

AD588 reference output is also given as one input to the multiplexer for monitoring through ADC.

it is found that whenever the multiplexer samples or switches to route the reference output to ADC through the multiplexer a spike is getting generated at the input of the multiplexer.

I tried to isolate the reference output  which is connected to the multiplexer thro a voltage follower.

By doing that the spike is seen at the output of the voltage follower which infers that the spike is being generated by the switching transients of the multiplexer.

When i disconnect the multiplexer input from the input circuitry and monitor the disconnected multiplexer input on a oscilloscope , a switching noise spikes of positive and negative voltage levels is seen.

How to avoid the switching transients during the switching of this multiplexer.

kindly suggest

  • i did an experiment to feed the same voltage as the reference output in the previous channel of the multiplexer.

    Which means two consecutive channels are at the same potential. but the switching noise spike is still seen.

    this switching noise spike is reflected in the reference output (which is connected in one input channel of the multiplexer) which is used during the analog output voltage generation. hence in all my analog outputs the noise spike is seen. Actually i want to avod thte nosie spike at all the analog outputs whose source is form the multiplexer swiching
