ISL54230 Octal switch
Intersil has introduced the ISL54230 Octal switch, which is suitable for high-end Smartphone applications.
The ISL54230's small size and flexible design enable designers to optimise the routing of the many different types of signals in dual-mode, dual-standby operation phones.
It is a quad double-pole/double-throw (DPDT) analogue switch that can operate from a single +2.0V to +5.5V supply.
It contains eight single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) switches configured into four DPDT blocks.
Each DPDT block is independently controlled by a logic input signal.
This flexible configurability provides switching and routing of USB, UART, PCM for Bluetooth Phy, SIM power/data and audio signals between internal chips and external connector pins.
In particular, the ISL54230 allows dual-baseband chips to access either of two SIM cards while allowing the unused SIM card to be powered down into a zero-power-consumption condition.
Dual USB 2.0 high-speed 2:1 multiplexers provide USB connector access to multiple baseband and multimedia processor chips.
To enable SIM card supply line switching, the ISL54230 includes a pair of 1ohm switches.
