MXD8666 – SP6T Switch with MIPI for LTE Diversity
General Description
The MXD8666 is a low loss, high isolation SP6T
switch for antenna diversity receiving.
The MXD8666 is compatible with MIPI control,
which is a key requirement for many cellular
transceivers. This part is packaged in a compact
2mm x 2mm, 14-pin, QFN package which allows for
a small solution size with no need for external DC
blocking capacitors (when no external DC is
applied to the device ports).
Features
Excellent insertion loss
- 0.50 dB Insertion Loss at 2.7GHz
P0.1dB @ 27dBm
Multi-Band operation 700MHz to 3000MHz
RFFE serial control interface
Compact 2mm x 2mm in QFN-14 package
No DC blocking capacitors required (unless
external DC is applied to the RF ports)
Applications
2G/3G/4G antenna diversity
Cellular modems and USB Devices

MIPI Read and Write Timing
MIPI supports the following Command Sequences:
• Register Write
• Register_0 Write
• Register Read
Figures 3 and 4 provide the timing diagrams for register write commands and read commands, respectively.
Figure 5 shows the Register 0 Write Command Sequence. Refer to the MIPI Alliance Specification for RF
Front-End Control Interface (RFFE), v1.10 (26 July 2011) for additional information on MIPI USID
programming sequences and MIPI bus specifications.
