The Adafruit ADG729 is a solid-state dual 1-to-4 analog matrix switch controlled over I2C. It provides two independent groups of 4 switches — four channels routed to the DA pin and four channels routed to the DB pin — giving you 8 total switches in a compact package. Unlike relays, analog switches have no moving parts, won't wear out, and switch in approximately 100 ns.
The ADG729 features 8 independent switches rather than a simple multiplexer, so you can turn on multiple switches simultaneously within each group to merge signals together, or use each group as a traditional SP4T selector. The signal path is fully bidirectional. Break-before-make switching ensures clean transitions between channels.
Key Features
- Dual 4-Channel Groups – Four switches route to DA, four route to DB
- 8 Independent Switches – Control each switch individually via I2C
- Fast Switching – Approximately 100 ns switch time
- Break-Before-Make – Deselected switches open before selected switches close
- Bidirectional – Signal path works in either direction
- Configurable Address – Default 0x44, adjustable to 0x45/0x46/0x47 via address pins
- STEMMA QT / Qwiic Connectors – Solderless I2C connection
- Signal Voltage – Supports analog signals up to 5V
Also Available
- ADG728 1-to-8 Analog Matrix Switch – All 8 signals route to a single D pin
Ideal For
- Dual-channel analog signal routing
- Stereo audio switching
- Sensor multiplexing with separate output buses
- Test and measurement systems

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- I2C
- I2C is a two-wire communication bus used by many sensors and small modules. It matters because several I2C devices can share the same two wires, but each device needs a compatible address and your controller must support I2C.
- multiplexer
- A multiplexer (mux) is a chip or circuit that selects one of several input signals and routes it to a single shared output, with select lines choosing which input is connected; running the same idea in reverse, to send one input to a chosen output, gives a demultiplexer. Multiplexers let a single controller or line work with several signals or devices that would otherwise clash on a shared connection.
- Qwiic
- Qwiic is a plug-in connector system for I2C devices that uses small 4-pin cables, so you can connect compatible sensors without soldering. It matters because your controller or adapter also needs Qwiic, or you will need a cable or breakout to wire it up.
- STEMMA QT
- A small plug-in connector system for I2C boards that lets you connect compatible sensors and controllers without soldering. It matters because it can make wiring faster and less error-prone, especially when adding several small modules to a project.
