9 Application and Implementation

determining suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design

implementation to confirm system functionality.

9.1 Application Information

TMUX2889 is part of the beyond the supply switches and multiplexers family of devices. This means that this

device can switch signals from -5.5 V to 5.5 V with a low voltage supply from 1.8 to 5.5 V. Additionally, the

TMUX2889 features powered-off protection, which keeps the switches open even when there is no supply. This

unique feature combination enables the TMUX2889 to be extremely versatile for a wide variety of applications

such as boosted outputs and high common mode offsets.

9.2 Typical Applications

9.2.1 Audio Input or Output Switching

When there are multiple audio inputs available such as a line-in and a wireless connection, a switch/multiplexer

is needed to switch between audio sources. This same scheme can be used in systems where there are multiple

speaker outputs and one source as well. A TMUX2889 can be used for all of these use cases, easily supporting

line-in audio up to ±5.5 V with a supply/battery voltage from 1.8 to 5.5 V. Figure 9-1 shows the block diagram

for these applications. Additionally, if IEC protection is needed on the external connectors (audio jack input or

external speaker), 2 TPD1E10B06 can be used.

The TMUX2889 features excellent THD+N performance, so there is minimal impact to the audio signal quality

through the switch. This allows the system designer to save a significant portion of board area without impacting

signal integrity. Additionally, because of the low supply current requirment, the device's supply can be driven

directly with a GPIO, allowing the user to put the device into a ultra-low power mode. In this mode the

TMUX2889 operates with powered-off protection, so any high voltage present on the inputs will not propagate to

the outputs. This helps keep correct power up cycling and increases system robustness.
