GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADG936/ADG936-R are wideband analog switches that
comprise two independently selectable SPDT switches using a
CMOS process to provide high isolation and low insertion loss
to 1 GHz. The ADG936 is an absorptive/matched dual SPDT
with 50 Ω terminated shunt legs; the ADG936-R is a reflective
dual SPDT. These devices are designed such that the isolation is
high over the dc to 1 GHz frequency range. They have on-board
CMOS control logic, eliminating the need for external controlling
circuitry. The control inputs are both CMOS and LVTTL
compatible. The low power consumption of these CMOS
devices makes them ideally suited for wireless applications and
general-purpose high frequency switching.
