INDICATOR
Description
The AS118-12 is a reflective SPDT FET IC switch.The
switch requires external DC bloc king capacitors, positiv e
supply and two positive controls.The device is mounted
in a plastic SOIC-8 package for surf ace mounting and is
ideal for use in high isolation switching applications , such
as base station synthesizer switching.
