Description
The SKY13278-313LF is a pHEMT GaAs FET IC high linearity SPDT
switch. This wideband switch has been designed for use from
100 MHz to 2.5 GHz, where extremely high linearity, low control
voltage, high isolation, low insertion loss and ultra-miniature
package size are required. It can be controlled with positive,
negative or a combination of both voltages. The RF signal paths
within the SKY13278-313LF are fully bilateral.
Some standard implementations include T/R switching and diver-
sity switching over 3 W. The SKY13278-313LF switch can be used
in many analog and digital wireless communication systems
including cellular, GSM and UMTS applications.
Switching is controlled via two control voltage inputs. Depending
upon the voltage level applied to the control voltage pins, the
common RF port (J
1
) is connected to one of two RF ports (J
2
or J
3
)
via a low insertion loss path, while the path between J
1
and the
other RF port is in its isolation state. When the control voltages are
toggled, the states between J
1
and J
2
, as wells as J
1
and J
3
, are
also toggled.
The SKY13278-313LF is available in a lead(Pb)-free, RoHS-com-
pliant, QFN-6 2 x 3 mm plastic package.
An evaluation board is available upon request.
NEW
Skyworks offers lead (Pb)-free, RoHS (Restriction of
Hazardous Substances)-compliant packaging.
