Description
The SKY13277-355LF is a pHEMT GaAs FET IC high isolation
absorptive single-pole 3-throw switch packaged in a 20-lead
exposed-pad plastic package for low-cost commercial applica-
tions. This switch controls signals from 500 MHz to 2.5 GHz. The
switch is ideal for cellular base station switch matrices and other
applications that require good RF impedance match independent
of switch state.
The SKY13277-355LF comprises a pHEMT switch die and a
Si CMOS controller die. The switch die contains integral
terminating resistors that present an absorptive load to the
external circuit when the switch path is in its isolation state.
The controller die has three inputs: supply voltage (V
DD
) and two
logic control bits that select the state of the pHEMT switch die.
External DC block capacitors are required on all RF ports.
The SKY13277-355LF operates from -40 °C to 85
°C.
A populated evaluation board is available.
