- Bidirectional Operation : Signals can flow in either direction through switches
Limitations
- Limited Bandwidth : Maximum frequency typically 20MHz, unsuitable for high-speed applications
- Switch Resistance : Typical 125Ω on-resistance causes signal attenuation
- Voltage Drop : On-resistance creates voltage drop with high current signals (>10mA)
- Charge Injection : Can cause glitches during switching transitions
- Temperature Sensitivity : On-resistance increases with temperature
## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Signal Integrity Issues
