EC696

EC696 is a SP4T RF switch. It uses either Switch&Tune™ technology and high-performance RF switching to solve the challenges facing today’s wireless industry and product designers. EC696 allows the RF front-end to cover global bands and seamlessly improve performance in a dynamically changing RF environment by employing active tuning. EC696 can be used in a variety of applications including wearables, cell phones, or IoT/M2M products. Ether switch & tune™ technology and the EC696 provide wider global band coverage (including LTE/5G) with a single antenna element using parasitic loading and active tuning techniques to improve RF front-end performance, especially for stringent low band antenna efficiency requirements. Applications include wearables, tablets and notebooks, IoT/M2M products, other wireless devices.
