RF2436 9 TRANSMIT/RECEIVE SWITCH Typical Applications • Cordless Phones • General Purpose RF Switching • Wireless Computer Peripherals • Commercial and Consumer Systems • Wireless Security Systems Product Description The RF2436 is a very low-cost transmit/receive GaAs MESFET switch. The device can handle power levels as high as +28dBm and spans a frequency range from DC to 2500MHz. The switch will operate from power supply voltages as low as 1.5V and as high as 6V with a CMOS logic driver for the control input. No negative voltage is required, and current consumption is very low. VSWR for the active channel (transmit or receive) is 1.1:1. The device is housed in a very small industry-standard SOT 5-lead plastic package. 1.60 + 0.01 0.15 0.05 0.400 1 2.90 + 0.10 0.950 2.80 + 0.20 3° MAX 0° MIN 1.44 1.04 Dimensions in mm. 0.127 0.45 + 0.10 Si BJT GaAs HBT Si Bi-CMOS SiGe HBT ü ATTENTUATORS AND SWITCHES Optimum Technology Matching® Applied 9 Package Style: SOT-5 GaAs MESFET Si CMOS Features • Single Positive Power Supply • Low Current Consumption • 0.5dB Insertion Loss at 900MHz • 24dB Crosstalk Isolation at 900MHz • +27dBm Output P1dB RX OUT 1 5 ANT I/O GND 2 TX IN 3 4 TX/RX Ordering Information RF2436 RF2436 PCBA Functional Block Diagram Rev A2 010717 Transmit/Receive Switch Fully Assembled Evaluation Board RF Micro Devices, Inc. 7625 Thorndike Road Greensboro, NC 27409, USA Tel (336) 664 1233 Fax (336) 664 0454 http://www.rfmd.com 9-23 RF2436 Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameter Supply Voltage Control Voltage Input RF Power Operating Ambient Temperature Storage Temperature Parameter Rating Unit 0 to +8.0 -1.0 to +6.0 +30 -40 to +85 -40 to +150 VDC V dBm °C °C Specification Min.

VSWR is 1.1:1 when Receive mode is selected and highly capacitive when Transmit mode is selected. Ground connection. For best performance, keep traces physically short and connect immediately to the ground plane. Input pin for Transmit mode. The input VSWR is 1.1:1 when Transmit mode is selected and highly capacitive when Receive mode is selected. Transmit Mode/Receive Mode control pin. A “low” level chooses Receive mode; a “high” level chooses Transmit mode. CMOS logic may be used to drive the control input. Input/Output pin from/to antenna and power supply pin. This pin must be biased with VDD through a resistor. Evaluation Board Schematic (Download Bill of Materials from www.rfmd.com.)
