[sdiy] 8x8 switching matrix

[Derek Holzer]

Another question about the MT8808, actually it's a couple of questions 
but since they both relate to input voltage they are probably the same:

1) "12Vpp analog signal capability": if my system is +/-15v, I know it's 
unlikely that a module will send out a rail-to-rail signal, but how 
could I protect the CMOS just in case it did?

2) The cross-talk is directly related to the peak-to-peak voltage of the 
system. Would people recommend padding/scaling down the input voltage 
before it goes through the IC and then adding gain afterwards to reduce 
the cross-talk (at the expense of added noise and possibly 
distortion/imprecision of the signal)? If so, could anyone point to a 
circuit which demonstrates this (simple op-amp stuff I guess)?

Thx+best!

In one application in our company I used it also for mixing signals - but here you can not use the full matrix circuit due to the resulting schematics.
