Selecting the Right CMOS Analog Switch

Overview First developed about 25 years ago, integrated analog switches often form the interface between analog signals and a digital controller. This tutorial presents the theoretical basis for analog switches and describes some common applications for standard types. The special features of calibration multiplexers (cal-muxes), fault-protected switches, and force-sense switches are discussed as well. In recent years, integrated analog switches have offered better switching characteristics, lower supply voltages, and smaller packages. Because so many performance options and special functions are available, the well-informed product designer has a good chance of finding just the right part for a particular application.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
