Description
The AS116-59 is a GaAs FET IC high power SPDT switch
in an MSOP-8 package. This switch has been designed
for use where extremely high linearity and low insertion
loss are required. It can be controlled with positive,
negative or a combination of both voltages. Some standard
implementations include antenna changeover, T/R and
diversity switching over 2 W. The AS116-59 switch can be
used in many analog and digital wireless communication
systems including cellular applications.
