CMOS wideband switches exceed 1GHz

Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Apr 2, 2003

The ADG918 and ADG919 are the industry's first wideband CMOS switches to provide high isolation and low insertion loss at frequencies exceeding 1GHz.

The ADG918 and ADG919 are the industry's first wideband CMOS switches to provide high isolation and low insertion loss at frequencies exceeding 1GHz.

This is ideal for low-power, high-bandwidth applications, such as wireless metering.

The ADG918 is an absorptive switch, while the ADG919 is a reflective (matched) switch.

Both offer low power consumption (5uA), tiny package sizes, and CMOS-compatible single-pin control voltage levels, making them a cost-effective alternative to GaAs switches in wireless and general-purpose high-frequency switching applications.

The ADG918 and ADG919 are currently sampling and will be in full production in April 2003.

They are priced at $1.07 per unit in 1000-piece quantities.

Single-pole, single-throw versions are also available (ADG901/ADG902).
