Digital switching of high voltage analog signal

I need to switch a 70 Vpp analog signal from a low voltage (1V8 or 3V3) digital output. The analog signal may or may not be isolated. What is the easiest and/or cheapest method?

Easiest way is to use a telecom type relay.

All you need is a suitable relay driver.

They're fully characterized for the frequency range you're interested in (and well beyond).

Since you need to switch quickly, something like this may work for you:

At 3ms it may be a bit marginal for 100Hz switching, depending on what exactly you're doing, but the 350usec (typical) models don't look too bad to me. You could always use a series/shunt arrangement if you need to increase the off attenuation.
