The six switches are offered in MICRO FOOT packaging with lead (Pb)-free bump terminations in 3 x 3 and 4 x 3 configurations. All six analog switches are 1.6-V logic compatible within their full operational voltage range.

The dual SPDT DG3516/17 switches feature a 300 MHz 3 dB bandwidth, while the dual SPST DG3537/38/39/40 switches feature a 360 MHz 3 dB bandwidth suitable for video and data-stream applications. Their low on-resistance, 1-Ohm flatness, and 0.2-Ohm matching -- key for achieving low distortion, signal fidelity, and high linearity -- provide excellent performance for audio and video applications such as speaker switching, port sharing and USB switching.

The DG35xx family offers a full rail-to-rail signal swing range and ESD protection over 2 kV according to method 3015.7. Their operating temperature range is -40 to +85°C.

Samples and production quantities of the new analog switches are available now, with lead times of six to eight weeks for larger orders. Pricing in 1,000-piece quantities is $0.65.
