Charge injection spec for analog switch

Apr 27, 2017 6 Replies

Nexperia for their 74LVCV2G66 claims 0.0035 pC typical.. that's more than an order of magnitude better than the best spec'd specialized analog switches.



What am I missing here?

Got to be a typo. Nanocoulombs, maybe, but even that sounds optimistic.

Speculation: It depends on the particular sample. They tested 100pcs and it could be anything between +10nC or -10nC. The average or "typical" was 0.0035pC. :)

I have seen similar specmanship on other datasheets for switches - depending on supply and switched voltage it can range positive or negative so they pick a tiny near-zero net charge injected point for the "typical" spec. But here they do specify these conditions.

NXP's 74LVC1G66 switch datasheet lists 3 to 7pC, which is more in the reasonable region.

Hmm. What would the charge injection be of a carefully laid out SO-70 footprint sans chip? So, just Vss * interelectrode capacitance?

Yes, that has got to be it, thanks. As Win says, probably a few pC.
