MXD8512A – 0.5~4.0GHz SPST Antenna Tuning Switch
General Description
The MXD8512A is a CMOS silicon-on-insulator
(SOI), single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switch. The
high linearity and ruggedness performance and
extremely low insertion loss makes the device an
ideal
choice
for
GSM/WCDMA/LTE
handset
Applications
GSM/WCDMA/LTE band and mode switching
Antenna tuning switch
Features
Broadband frequency range: 0.1 to 4.0 GHz
Low insertion 0.18dB @ 2.7 GHz
High P0.1dB of 43.5dBm
High Peak Vrf of 50V
Very Low Ron of 1.2 Ohm
Very Low Coff of 130fF
Positive low voltage control: VC = 1.0 to 3.0
V, VDD = 1.7 to 3.3 V, Small, QFN (6-pin,
0.7mm x 1.1mm x 0.377mm) package,
MSL1
antenna tuning application.
The MXD8512A SPST switch is provided in a
compact 0.7mm x 1.1mm x 0.377mm 6-lead QFN
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.
