AS227-000 Block Diagram Description The AS227-000/099 is a high power, pHEMT Single-Pole, Triple-Throw (SP3T) switch. The switch is designed for use in systems operating from 20 MHz to 2.0 GHz for which low loss, high isolation, low control voltage, and chip scale size are required. The device is controlled with positive, negative, or a combination of both voltages. The RF signal paths within the device are fully bilateral. The AS227-000/099 is provided as a bare die in an ultra-compact 1015 x 1015 x 200 μm design. Chips are shipped in quantities of 100 per 2 x 2 inch Gel-Pak (use part number AS227-000). For high volume orders, chips can be supplied on a film frame (use part number AS227-099). A functional block diagram is shown in Figure 1. The pin configuration is shown in Figure 2. Signal pin assignments and functional pin descriptions are provided in Table 1.

Technical Description Electrical and Mechanical Specifications The AS227-000/099 is controlled using three voltage inputs, V1, V2, and V3 (pins 1, 3, and 6, respectively). Depending on the voltage level applied to these pins, the common RF port (RFC) is connected to one of three RF ports (J1, J2, or J3) using a low insertion loss path, while the path between RFC and the other RF ports are in an isolation state. The absolute maximum ratings of the AS227-000/099 are provided in Table 2. Electrical specifications are provided in Table 3 and the operating characteristics are specified in Table 4. When the control voltages are toggled, the states between RFC and the other RF ports are also toggled. Typical performance characteristics of the AS227-000/099 are illustrated in Figures 3 through 7. The state of the AS227-000 is determined by the logic provided in Table 5.

There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other parameters set at or below their nominal value. CAUTION: Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage this device. This device must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be used at all times.
