• Typical applications include: selection of
synthesizers, filters, amplifiers in dual mode,
and dual band handsets.
and low cost. State selection is achieved with a
complimentary positive voltage (requires positive bias
Vs, and blocking caps) or negative voltage (no Vs or
blocking caps required).

DC blocking capacitors (C1, 2, 4) and biasing resistor (R1)
must be supplied externally for positive voltage operation.
C1, 2, 4 = 100 pF for operation >500 MHz.
