Description
The SKY13491-21 is a Single-Pole, Fourteen-Throw (SP14T)
antenna switch with an integrated Mobile Industry Processor
Interface (MIPI
®
) controller. Using an advanced switching
technology, the SKY13491-21 maintains low insertion and high
isolation, which makes it an ideal choice for UMTS, CDMA2000,
EDGE, GSM, and LTE applications.
The design features two dedicated GSM transmit ports and three
dedicated ultra low-loss TRX ports. The switch also has an
excellent triple beat ratio and 2
nd
/3
rd
Order Intermodulation
Distortion (IMD2/IMD3) performance.
Switching is controlled by the MIPI decoder. There is an external
MIPI select pin that enables how the switch responds to power
mode triggers. When this pin is grounded, the switch responds to
any of the power mode triggers. When this pin is left open, the
switch responds to individual power mode triggers. No external
DC blocking capacitors are required on the RF paths as long as no
DC voltage is applied.
The SKY13491-21 is manufactured in a compact,
2.5 x 2.9 x 0.8 mm, 22-pin surface mount Multi-Chip Module
(MCM) 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.
Electrical and Mechanical Specifications
The absolute maximum ratings of the SKY13491-21 are provided
in Table 2. Electrical specifications are provided in Tables 3 and 4.
IMD2 and IMD3 test conditions for various frequencies are listed
in Tables 5 and 6, respectively.
Triple Beat Ratio (TBR) test conditions for bands 2 and 5 are listed
in Table 7.
Figure 3 shows a timing diagram. Figure 4 illustrates the test
setup used to measure intermodulation products. This industry
standardized test is used to simulate the WCDMA Band 1 linearity
of the antenna switch. A +20 dBm Continuous Wave (CW) signal,
f
FUND
, is sequentially applied to the TRX1 through TRX12 ports,
while a –15 dBm CW blocker signal, f
BLK
, is applied to the ANT
port.
The resulting 3
rd
Order Intermodulation Distortion (IMD3), f
RX
, is
measured over all phases of f
FUND
. The SKY13491-21 exhibits
exceptional performance for all TRXx ports.
Table 8 shows the isolation matrix for "Ant" to "Off" arms. Table
9 shows the isolation matrix for "On" Arms to "Off" arms. Table
10 provides the matrix of insertion loss and return loss
information. Table 11 describes the register content and
programming read/write sequences. Refer to the
MIPI Alliance
Specification for RF Front-End Control Interface (RFFE),
v1.10 (26
July 2011) for additional information on MIPI programming
sequences and MIPI bus specifications.
Figures 5 and 6 provide the timing diagrams for register write
commands and read commands, respectively.
Table 12 provides the Register_0 logic. Table 13 describes the
register parameters and bit values.
