Alpha & Omega Semiconductor Introduces Family of Low Voltage and Low On-Resistance Analog Switches.


SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Alpha & Omega Semiconductor, Inc. (AOS (Alternative Operator Services) Operator services provided by a third-party organization. See operator services.

1. AOS - /aws/ (East Coast), /ay-os/ (West Coast) A PDP-10 instruction that took any memory location and added 1 to it.
) announced the release of a family of eight low voltage analog switches. The new products have an operating voltage range from 1.65V to 4.3V and are available in several single and dual configurations. The new analog switches are optimized for the switching of audio and data I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output.

62xx family of dual analog switches offers very low on-resistance and on-resistance flatness. The AOZ6232, for example, is rated at a very low 0.25 at 2.7V with a 0.15 flatness rating. These features provide a solution with low insertion loss and low total harmonic distortion The total harmonic distortion, or THD, of a signal is a measurement of the harmonic distortion present and is defined as the ratio of the sum of the powers of all harmonic components to the power of the fundamental. , which preserves overall signal integrity and allows for seamless multiplexing of various audio and data sources.

 package options, making them optimal for portable battery operated applications.

The AOZ61xx single analog switches are well suited for general purpose data switching applications. The AOZ6135 is housed in an industry standard SC70 package and features on-resistance of 0.6 at 4.5V. The AOZ6115 is housed in the SOT23-5L package and features a very low capacitance of 18pF, and a low charge injection of 1pC (Vcc = 2.7V to 3.6V). These ratings allow for decreased signal distortion, making the AOZ6115 ideal for inline data switching in high speed applications.

"We are pleased with the market acceptance of our new low on-resistance analog switch product family," said Wayne Eng, Marketing Director for AOS' TVS and Analog Switch products. "Our new analog switch products provide a seamless solution for the switching and multiplexing of different input streams with multiple external touch points, like between a speaker and headset for audio, or like connecting an external USB USB
