APPLICATION INFORMATION C1 Switch C1 LESD C1 • C1 are DC blocking capacitors external to the device. The value may be tailored to provide specific electrical responses. • The RF ground connections should be kept as short as possible and connected to directly to a good RF ground for best performance. • LESD provides a means to increase the ESD protection on a specific RF port, typically the port attached to the antenna. 4 Data Sheet PG10773EJ01V0DS μPG2409T6X TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS (TA = +25°C, DC blocking capacitors = 8 pF, unless otherwise specified) RFC-RF1/RF2 INSERTION LOSS vs. FREQUENCY RFC-RF1/RF2 ISOLATION vs. FREQUENCY 0 0.0 Vcont (H) = 3.0 V Vcont (H) = 3.0 V –10 –0.2 Isolation ISL (dB) Insertion Loss Lins (dB) –0.1 –0.3 –0.4 –0.5 –0.6 –0.7 –0.8 –20 –30 –40 –50 –0.9 –1.0 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 –60 0.0 6.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 6.0 Frequency f (GHz) RFC RETURN LOSS vs. FREQUENCY RF1/RF2 RETURN LOSS vs. FREQUENCY 0 Vcont (H) = 3.0 V Vcont (H) = 3.0 V –5 –5 –10 –10 Return Loss RL (dB) Return Loss RL (dB) 5.0 Frequency f (GHz) 0 –15 –20 –25 –30 –35 –40 0.0 –15 –20 –25 –30 –35 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 –40 0.0 6.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 Frequency f (GHz) Frequency f (GHz) RFC-RF1/RF2 INSERTION LOSS, Icont vs. SWITCH CONTROL VOLTAGE (H) RFC-RF1/RF2 ISOLATION vs. SWITCH CONTROL VOLTAGE (H) 1.0 Lins 0.6 –0.6 6.0 GHz 0.4 –0.8 0.2 –1.0 –1.2 2.0 Icont (No RF input) 2.5 –10 0.8 f = 2.5 GHz 3.0 0.0 3.5 6.0 0 Isolation ISL (dB) –0.4 Switch Control Current Icont (μA) –0.2 Insertion Loss Lins (dB) 4.0 –20 f = 6.0 GHz –30 2.5 GHz –40 –50 –60 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 Switch Control Voltage (H) Vcont (H) (V) Switch Control Voltage (H) Vcont (H) (V) Remark The graphs indicate nominal characteristics.
