Camera isolation switch is industry’s first for portables

Designed to isolate the high-speed bus from parasitic components in dual-camera applications, the FSA1211 SPST analog image switch is offered as the first of its kind for portable devices further providing an optimal way to isolate capacitance and maintain signal integrity for high-speed data paths. In addition, when isolating the unused parallel interface, the part reduces the radiated EMI of the path, improving RF desense. The traditional parallel solution can deteriorate the signal due to the unwanted “stub,” resulting in image degradation of the camera module.

The FSA1211 is a 12-port device with a a bandwidth in excess of 720 MHz and an ESD rating of 5.5 kV. Additional specs include a COFF capacitance of 2.0 pF typ an on-resistance of 7.5 Ω typ, and a power consumption of 1 µA max. The part is housed in a 28-lead UMLP package.
