MXD8544A – 0.1-3.0GHz SP4T Antenna Tuning Switch
General Description
The MXD8544A is a CMOS silicon-on-insulator
(SOI), single-pole, four-throw (SP4T) 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 3.0 GHz
Low insertion 0.50dB @ 2.7 GHz
High P0.1dB of 43.3dBm
Positive low voltage control: VC = 1.0 to 3.0 V,
VDD = 2.5 to 3.3 V, Small LGA (10-pin,
1.1mm x 1.5mm x 0.36mm) package
antenna tuning application.
The MXD8544A SP4T switch is provided in a
compact LGA 1.1mm x 1.5mm x 0.36mm 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.
