•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.

The device may be operated safely over these conditions; however, parametric performance is guaranteed
only over the conditions defined in the electrical specifications.
Stresses in excess of the absolute ratings may cause
permanent damage. Functional operation is not implied under
these conditions. Exposure to absolute ratings for extended
periods of time may adversely affect reliability. (8 pt bold)
