Hi, I am using a TI mux506ipwr (16 channel, datasheet) as a demux to light some LEDs and can't get it to work. I have the mux on a breakout board and the rest of the circuit on a breadboard as I'm testing how it works before implementation.
I'm using a single 12v battery power source for the Vdd, enable, and selectors (which are manually switched).
I have the following connected:
LEDs(+) to S1-S16,
12v(+) to Vdd, EN, and A0-A3,
12v(-) to Vss and LEDs(-)
Drain is open
Ground is open
The LEDs are good, I can test them at power source. I have tried connecting the ground to ground, I have also tried connecting the drain to 12v(-) and then tried to ground, none of which work. This all seems simple enough but I can't figure out what I'm missing. Can anyone clue me in on what's going on or maybe provide a link to point me in the right direction.
Google yields no results for help with this particular mux and if I knew more about what I was doing then maybe I would know better keywords to help me filter out the 8 million general results, so I decided to ask a human instead.
