Analog switch improves signal integrity and bandwidth for automotive applications

Vishay Intertechnology has a new AEC-Q100 (Grade 1) qualified dual DPDT / quad SPDT analog switch featuring low resistance of 0.37Ohm at 2.7V and 338MHz bandwidth in the compact 2.6mm x 1.8mm x 0.55mm miniQFN16 package. It is ideal for both analog and digital signal switching in space-constrained automotive applications. The Vishay Siliconix DGQ2788A offers ultra-flat resistance and parasitic capacitance to improve signal integrity and deliver higher bandwidth. The device is the first in the company's automotive series of analog switches created to address signal switching demands in the rapidly growing automotive segments of infotainment, telematics, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), advanced diagnostics and traction and stability control modules, engine control modules, and power windows, locks, and mirrors. These applications need audio, video, bus, and communication interface switching to bridge and route signals.
