MXD8530 – SP3T Switch for 0.1½3G Application
General Description
The MXD8530 is a Single Pole, Triple-Throw
(SP3T)
antenna
switch.
The
high
linearity
performance and low insertion loss achieved by
the MXD8530 make it an ideal choice for
main/diversity switching commonly used in LTE-
based handsets, data cards, and tablets that use
antenna diversity solutions. The symmetric port
designs provide flexibility in signal routing for both
receive diversity and higher power WCDMA/FDD,
and WLANs transmit/receive applications.
Switching
is
controlled
by
two
CMOS/TTL-
compatible control voltage inputs (V1 and V2).
Depending on the logic voltage level applied to the
control pins, the ANT pin is connected to one of
five switched RF outputs (RF1 to RF2) using a low
insertion loss path, while the paths between the
ANT pin and the other RF pins are in a high
isolation state. No external blocking capacitors are
required on the RF paths unless VDC is externally
applied.
The MXD8530 is manufactured in a compact, 12-
pin 2.0 x 2.0 mm, Quad Flat No-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.
