Description
The DIO1568 Evaluation Board (EVB) lets you quickly evaluate and prototype with the DIO1568 low-power, dual-SIM analog switch. The DIO1568 is a quad SPDT analog switch optimized for dual-SIM card multiplexing, operating from a single 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply. It offers ultra-low on-resistance (0.85 Ω on the SIM path) and fast, break-before-make switching thanks to sub-micron CMOS fabrication. The device also maintains very low quiescent current even when control voltage is below VCC, enabling direct interfacing with baseband processor GPIOs in mobile handsets. Two compact QFN package options are available: QFN1.8×2.6-16 and QFN3×3-16.

Pin Describtion
NO. | Name | Silkscreen | Comment |
P3-1 | Ground | GND | |
P3-2 | Select | Sel | 0 – Power |
P3-3 | Power | VCC | 1.65~4.3V |
P3-4 | Ground | GND | |
P2-1 | VSIM | VSIM | These pins are similar to the pins of the
FPC connector. You can use them if you do not use the FPC connector. |
P2-2 | VCC | VCC | |
P2-3 | RST | RST | |
P2-4 | CLK | CLK | |
P2-5 | DATA | DATA | |
P2-6 | Simcard-GND | SIMG |
For switching between two SIM cards, you can connect the Select pin (pin header P3) to ground or VCC manually with a jumper, or you can control this pin using a microcontroller to set it high or low.

How the EVB Helps — Faster, Easier Design
- Rapid evaluation of electrical performance (on-resistance, switching, leakage) without PCB redesign.
- Reference layout and footprint for the QFN packages remove guesswork and speed board bring-up.
- Breakout connections for SIM DAT/CLK/RST and control pins allow quick functional tests and firmware integration.
- Pre-routed decoupling and recommended component placements reduce signal issues and shorten debug time.
- Demonstrates low-power behavior and direct GPIO interfacing to confirm compatibility with target baseband processors.
Use the DIO1568 EVB to accelerate prototyping, validate performance in your target system, and shorten the path from concept to final design.
Getting Started Preparation
- Step 1: Connect the board power
- Step 2: Place the SIM cards in the SIM card case
- Step 3: Switch between SIM cards by High and Low the select pin
- Step 4: Connect the board to your microcontroller with the FPC connector or the header pin(P2)
