Need Pulse-Triggered Switch

hello

i am seeking a pulse-triggered switch. It should change states on a pulse, but not require continuous high-state to stay switched.

i am trying to route an analog voltage to two different outputs.

a trigger pulse to one pin should route the input to output A.

then, a trigger pulse to a different pin should route the input to output B.

as always, seeking simplest possible approach.

there should be no leakage in open position, and no voltage drop or gain in closed position (or easy to compensate).

again, should not require continuous high-state on trigger pins to maintain switch state.

should be able to switch at least 1 MHz.

thanks!

Thanks, I considered that, but its Operate time is 2 ms and its
Minimum operate pulse is 6 ms, which I believe limits its switch freq to about 100 Hz. I need 1 MHz.

I think I could use a flip flop to turn a pulse into a steady high, and use that high to enable a standard solid state switch. Would that work?

Cheers?

Nice!

Can anyone recommend a logic controlled analog switch which provides essentially 100% throughput when closed and 0% when open?

Talking low-current application.

The 4051 and 4066 CMOS analog switches have leakage currents Is (off) in the off state and ON resistance Ron (max) specified in the datasheets.

The messages of CD4051 and CD4066 on the 1st page.

CD4051 : High "OFF'' resistance: channel leakage of ±10 pA
(typ.) at VDD-VEE=10V

CD4066 has Extremely Low Off-State Switch Leakage Resulting in
Very Low Offset Current and High Effective Off-State
Resistance: 10pA Typ. at VDD - VSS = 10V, TA = +25℃

These are typical values. The datasheet section " DC electrical characteristics " shows a maximum leakage of +/- 200nA @ 25 deg C for CD4051. Worst case values are usually used in good designs.
We should also consider the effects of clock feedthrough, which is some of the control signal appearing at the output, because the switch is required to change state at 1 MHz.

That is very tiny for the most used which not request the low leakage current, if the system request a very low leakage, then at that kind of situation we can't use this IC.

The CD4051 used very often in the industrial, so if request very low leakage current, maybe it needs a relay to do it.
