SOIC-8
AS278-12
Description
The AS278-12 is an IC FET SPDT switch in a SOIC-8
plastic package. The AS278-12 has been designed for use
where extremely high linearity and low insertion loss are
required. It is controlled with positive voltage eliminating
the need for negative voltage. Some standard
implementations include antenna changeover, T/R and
diversity switching over 2 W. The AS278-12 switch can be
used in many analog and digital wireless communication
systems.
