Description
The FSA2567 Evaluation Board (EVB) showcases the FSA2567, a bi‑directional, low‑power, dual double‑pole double‑throw (4PDT) analog switch designed for dual‑SIM card multiplexing. The device is optimized for switching WLAN–SIM data and control signals and includes a dedicated channel for the SIM supply path. Special low‑power circuitry reduces current consumption when the SEL control voltage is lower than VCC, enabling direct interface with baseband GPIOs in ultra‑portable devices.
Features
- Low on‑capacitance (data path): 10 pF typical for high‑speed data transfer
- Low on‑resistance (data path): 6 Ω typical
- Low on‑resistance (supply path): 0.4 Ω typical to minimize voltage drop on SIM supply
- Wide VCC range: 1.65 V to 4.3 V
- Low power consumption: 1 μA maximum (typical); up to 15 μA ICCT across expanded range (VIN = 1.8 V, VCC = 4.3 V)
- High bandwidth: >160 MHz (-3 dB)
- Packages available: Pb‑free 16‑lead MLP and 16‑lead UMLP
- ESD protection: 3 kV signal ESD rating; >12 kV power/GND ESD rating

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.

EVB – Faster, Easier Design
Using the FSA2567 EVB accelerates development by providing a ready‑made reference layout, validated routing for signal and supply paths, and easy access to device pins for testing. Benefits include:
- Rapid evaluation of data‑path performance (CON, RON, bandwidth) without PCB redesign
- Quick verification of supply‑path voltage drop and ESD robustness
- Simplified firmware and control testing via exposed SEL and control pins
- Reduced development risk and shorter prototype cycles through a proven reference 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)
