Skyworks Solutions, Inc. offers a select group of radio frequency (RF) switches from its diverse switch offering in stock and ready for immediate design into applications, including infrastructure, automotive, CATV/Satcom, smart energy, medical, military, RFID, test and measurement, WLAN/WiMAX/WiFi, and handsets.
Select switches include the most popular broad market GaAs SPST, SPDT, SP3T, SP4T, and diversity switches. These devices provide excellent performance and value for applications including Tx/Rx WLAN switches, band switches for WCDMA handsets and data cards, infrastructure synthesizer switches, and LNB/DBS matrix switches. All pHEMT switches are broadband by design and require DC blocking capacitors for positive voltage operation. Select switches have been fully characterized for low-frequency applications, covering the UHF and VHF ranges.
The performance characteristics of the switches include broadband operation (VHF to 8GHz), high power handling, high isolation, low insertion loss, and reflective or absorptive ports when they are placed into their high isolation states. Skyworks' lead (Pb)-free, RoHS-compliant and Green™ products are fabricated at its high volume GaAs pHEMT facility. All switches are packaged in industry-standard, plastic surface-mount packages. These switch product solutions leverage Skyworks’ extensive design knowledge, technical leadership, manufacturing expertise, and superior quality.
