SA58643
Single-Pole Double-Throw (SPDT) switch
Rev. 01 — 20 November 2006
Product data sheet
1. General description
The SA58643 is a wideband RF switch fabricated in BiCMOS technology and
incorporating on-chip CMOS/TTL compatible drivers. Its primary function is to switch
signals in the frequency range DC to 1 GHz from one 50
Ω
channel to another. The switch
is activated by a CMOS/TTL compatible signal applied to the enable channel 1 pin
(ENCH1).
The extremely low current consumption makes the SA58643 ideal for portable
applications. The excellent isolation and low loss makes this a suitable replacement for
PIN diodes.
The SA58643 is available in an 8-pin TSSOP package.
