74HC4052PW Why Low ON Resistance Matters in Signal Routing Design
🔍 The Hidden Power of Low ON Resistance
In signal routing design, ON resistance (Ron) isn't just a spec—it's the make-or-break factor for system efficiency. The 74HC4052PW , NXP's dual 4-channel analog multiplexer, boasts a record-low 70Ω typical Ron (at 6V supply), slashing signal loss by 40% compared to legacy ICs like the CD4052. For engineers battling noise in medical sensors or EV control units, this translates to uncompromised signal integrity and 15% longer battery life in portable devices.
