- The CD4066 device is a quad bilateral switch intended for the transmission or multiplexing of an analog or digital signal.
- It exhibits a much lower on-state resistance, which is relatively constant over the full signal-input range.
- The CD4066 consists of four bilateral switches, each with independent controls.
- Both the p and the n devices in a given switch are biased on or off simultaneously by the control signal.
- The well of the n-channel device on each switch is tied to either the input (when the switch is on) or to VSS (when the switch is off).
- This configuration eliminates the variation of the switch-transistor threshold voltage with the input signal and, thus, keeps the on-state resistance low over the full operating-signal range.

Working of CD4066 Quad Bilateral Switch IC
- The CD4066 IC consists of four switches. It can switch analog signals through digital control.
An analog signal is applied at the input of the switch. - If a HIGH or 1 value is fed into the control input, the analog signal will be passed from the input to the output of a switch.
- As it is a bilateral switch, therefore it can operate in both directions forward and reverse.
- Each switch has two pins which can be used as both input and output for switching voltages.
- Pin 14 is connected to the positive terminal of the voltage supply.
- pin 7 is connected to the ground of the circuit.
- When the control input
- HIGH or 1, the terminals of the switch have low impedance between them, and they are said to be in ON condition.
- LOW or 0, the switch is OFF, and the terminal is connected by High impedance.
- The motor remains in an off state when there is no control signal.
- As we apply a logic high control signal to a control pin of switch A, the motor starts to move.
- Therefore, the basic purpose of using this ic is to isolate the control signal from the power signal.
- This IC can also be used as a 4×1 multiplexer.
