Description
The SKY13411-374LF is a pHEMT GaAs Double-Pole, Double-
Throw (DPDT) switch designed for dual-band wireless LAN
applications. The switch provides high linearity performance, low
insertion loss, and high isolation.
Switching
is controlled by two voltage inputs (V1 and V2).
Depending on the logic voltage level applied to the control pins,
the ANT1 and ANT2 pins connect to one of two switched RF
outputs (RX or TX) through a low insertion loss path while
maintaining a high isolation path to the alternate port.
The switch is manufactured in a compact, 1.5 x 1.5
mm,
6-pin
exposed pad plastic Micro Leadframe Package Dual (MLPD)
package.
A functional block diagram is shown in Figure 1. The pin
configuration and package are shown in Figure 2. Signal pin
assignments and functional pin descriptions are provided in
Table 1.

Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other
parameters set at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device.
CAUTION:
Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage this device. This device
must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body
or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be used at all times.
