Working Principles

The MAX4950CTO+T is designed as a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch. It allows for the selection between two signal paths by controlling the state of the switch inputs. When IN1 is high, the COM terminal connects to IN1, and when IN2 is high, the COM terminal connects to IN2. This enables fast switching between the two input signals.
