NJG1673LG3 SP9T ANTENNA SWITCH GaAs MMIC GENERAL DESCRIPTION The NJG1673LG3 is a GaAs SP9T antenna switch IC designed for GSM/CDMA/UMTS multimode handsets. This switch features very small package size (3.2mmx2.5mmx0.85mm), high linearity, low insertion loss and high isolation. The NJG1673LG3 contains a switch die with on-chip logic circuits, ESD protection circuits and a LTCC substrate with built-in two LPFs on GSM transmit paths for suppression of transmitter harmonics. For saving current consumption, the NJG1673LG3 has a sleep mode. FEATURES Small package Sleep mode High linearity PACKAGE OUTLINE NJG1673LG3 LCSP20-G3 (Package size: 3.2mm x 2.5mm x 0.85mm typ.)
