    I have googled and then only I posted over here. I have already checked that page and some from Analog Devices. Thats why I mentioned tested. Moreover those IC are expensive over here and not easily available. If someone can recommend some IC those are cheap and readily available.

    You will need to provide alot more information then

     

    How many input channels to how many output channels

    What signal levels are involved

    is it to be battery operated or mains

     

    IE, what are your design criteria / selection criteria

     

    Regards

    Peter

    Thanks for response Peter. My requirement is  I am trying to make a smart hoem audio system where I can select different input sources and output sources for audio. It's going to be POE (Using buck conveter if required) operated from the micro. The cahnnel can be any (2,4,8)depending upon the cost . The control interface can be direct digital or any protocol. Hope I am clear

     

    Regards,

    Bikash

    If you want good audio performance in HiFi terms then you must expect to pay for nice solid state switches.

    You need to decide if you need +/- 15V signal levels or can manage with 0-5V.

     

    Unless you do some tricks (basically shorting out the signals you don't want rather than passing the one you do want though the switch) then you will find that the multiplexer can easily be the dominant source of noise and distortion in your system.

     

    So before I could advise a particular chip you need to specify:

     

    normal (or reference) signal level

    required distortion at that level

    signal to noise ratio at reference level

    maximum signal level

    frequency response

    maximum permitted feed-through of unwanted channels at defined frequency and level

    Hi Michael,

    Actually i have never worked on Audio before so please suggest me some IC and I will give them try.

    You have to tell me about signal levels before I can suggest anything, Analog Devices make switches with maximum signal handling in the range 0-3v at the lowest up to +/-20V for high voltage chips. There is a big range of cost and other performance parameters as well.
