USER DEFINED FAULT PROTECTION
POSFV and NEGFV are required secondary power supplies that
set the level at which the overvoltage protection is engaged. POSFV
can be supplied from 4.5 V to VDD, and NEGFV can be supplied
from VSS to 0 V. If a secondary supply is not available, the POSFV
and NEGFV pins must be connected to VDD (POSFV) and VSS
(NEGFV). The overvoltage protection then engages at the primary
supply voltages. When the voltages at the source inputs exceed
POSFV or NEGFV by VT, the switch turns off or, if the device is
unpowered, the switch remains off. The switch input remains high
impedance regardless of the digital input state and if it is selected,
the drain pulls to either POSFV or NEGFV. Signal levels up to
+55 V and −55 V are blocked in both the powered and unpowered
condition as long as the 80 V limitation between the source and
supply pins is met.
Power-On Protection
The following conditions must be satisfied for the switch to be
in the on condition:
• The primary supply must be VDD to VSS ≥ 8 V
• For POSFV, the secondary supply must be between 4.5 V
and VDD, and for NEGFV, the secondary supply must be
between VSS and 0 V
• The input signal must be between NEGFV − VT and
POSFV + VT
• The digital logic control input has selected the switch
When the switch is turned on, signal levels up to the secondary
supply rails are passed.
The switch responds to an analog input that exceeds POSFV or
NEGFV by a threshold voltage, VT, by turning off. The absolute
input voltage limits are −55 V and +55 V, while maintaining an
80 V limit between the source pin and the supply rails. The
switch remains off until the voltage at the source pin returns to
between POSFV and NEGFV.
The fault response time (tRESPONSE) when powered by a ±15 V dual
supply is typically 90 ns and the fault recovery time (tRECOVERY) is
745 ns. These vary with supply voltages and output load conditions.
The maximum stress across the switch channel is 80 V; therefore,
the user must pay close attention to this limit under a fault
condition.
For example, consider the case where the device is set up in a
multiplexer configuration as shown in Figure 54.
• VDD/VSS and POSFV/NEGFV= ±22 V, S1 = +22 V, S1 is
selected
• S2 has a −55 V fault and S3 has a +55 V fault
• The voltage between S2 and D = +22 V − (−55 V) = +77 V
• The voltage between S3 and D = 55 V− 22 V = 33 V
These calculations are all within device specifications: a 55 V
maximum fault on the source inputs and a maximum of 80 V
across the off switch channel.

Power-Off Protection
When no power supplies are present, the switch remains in the
off condition, and the switch inputs are high impedance. This
state ensures that no current flows and prevents damage to the
switch or downstream circuitry. The switch output is a virtual
open circuit.
The switch remains off regardless of whether the VDD and VSS
supplies are 0 V or floating. A GND reference must always be
present to ensure proper operation. Signal levels of up to ±55 V
are blocked in the unpowered condition.
Digital Input Protection
The ADG5248F and the ADG5249F can tolerate digital input
signals being present on the device without power. When the
device is unpowered, the switch is guaranteed to be in the off
state, regardless of the state of the digital logic signals.
The digital inputs are protected against positive faults of up to
44 V. The digital inputs do not offer protection against negative
overvoltages. ESD protection diodes connected to GND are
present on the digital inputs.
Overvoltage Interrupt Flag
The voltages on the source inputs of the ADG5248F and
ADG5249F are continuously monitored, and the state of the
switches is indicated by an active low digital output pin, FF.
The voltage on the FF pin indicates if any of the source input
pins are experiencing a fault condition. The output of the FF pin
is a nominal 3 V when all source pins are within normal
operating range. If any source pin voltage exceeds the secondary
supply voltage by VT, the FF output reduces to below 0.8 V.
Use the specific fault digital output pin, SF, to decode which
inputs are experiencing a fault condition. The SF pin reduces to
below 0.8 V when a fault condition is detected on a specific pin,
depending on the state of the F0, F1, and F2 pins (see Table 9
and Table 12).
