SW-438 GaAs SPDT Switch DC - 3.0 GHz Rev. V6 Features • • • • Functional Schematic Low Insertion Loss, 0.7 dB @ 2.4 GHz1 High Isolation, 25 dB @ 2.4 GHz1 Low Power Consumption, < 10 µA @ +3 V Low Cost Plastic SOT-363 Package C=8pF C=100pF C=100pF V1 RFC V2 RF1 GND RF2 C≥39pF C=100pF C=100pF V1 RFC V2 RF1 GND RF2 1. For best results at 2.4 GHz, use 8 pF 0402 profile SMT capacitors on RF ports and 100 pF bypassing on pins 4 and 6. Description The SW-438 is a GaAs MMIC SPDT switch in a low cost SOT-363 surface mount plastic package. Typical applications include transmit/receive switching for Bluetooth and WLAN equipment. The SW-438 can also be used in applications up to 500 mW in systems such as cellular, PCS, DCS1800, GSM, CDMA and other analog and digital wireless communications systems. M/A-COM fabricates the SW-438 using a 0.5 micron gate length GaAs p-HEMT process. The process features full passivation for increased performance and reliability. External Component Requirements Please note the values of the external capacitors. The capacitors at each of the RF ports are used as for achieving optimum insertion loss. They also provide DC blocking for positive control. The 8 pF (0402) capacitor is recommended for 2 - 3 GHz operation. If this value is changed or the capacitor placed too far from the switch, the performance will be affected. We also recommend 100 pF bypass capacitors on pins 4 and 6. For broadband applications with positive control voltages, use DC blocking capacitors with value of 39 pF or more.
