MXD8638 – 0.1-3.0GHz SP3T Switch
General Description
The MXD8638 is a CMOS silicon-on-insulator
(SOI), single-pole, triple-throw (SP3T) transmitting
and
receiving
switch.
The
high
linearity
Applications
GSM/WCDMA/LTE receive and transmit
802.11b/g/n WLANs
Features
performance and low insertion loss makes the
device an ideal choice for GSM/WCDMA/LTE
handset and data card applications.
The MXD8638 SP3T switch is provided in a
compact LGA 9-pin 1.15mm x 1.15mm x 0.45mm
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.
Broadband frequency range: 0.1 to 3.0 GHz
Low insertion: 0.50 dB @ 2.7 GHz
High isolation: 25 dB up to 2.7 GHz
P0.1dB of 36dBm
No external DC blocking capacitors required
Positive low voltage control: VC = 1.6 to 3.00
V, VDD = 2.5 to 3.0 V
