9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The CD405xB multiplexers and demuliplexers can be used for a wide variety of applications.
9.2 Typical Application
One application of the CD4051B is to use it in conjunction with a microcontroller to poll a keypad. Figure 29
shows the basic schematic for such a polling system. The microcontroller uses the channel select pins to cycle
through the different channels while reading the input to see if a user is pressing any of the keys. This is a very
robust setup, allowing for multiple simultaneous key-presses with very little power consumption. It also utilizes
very few pins on the microcontroller. The down side of polling is that the microcontroller must continually scan
the keys for a press and can do little else during this process.

9.2.1 Design Requirements
These devices use CMOS technology and have balanced output drive. Take care to avoid bus contention
because it can drive currents that would exceed maximum limits. The high drive will also create fast edges into
light loads, so routing and load conditions should be considered to prevent ringing.
