Summary of SW-214-PIN GaAs SPDT Switch Data Sheet

This document details the SW-214-PIN, a GaAs SPDT (Single-Pole Double-Throw) switch manufactured by M/A-COM. Here’s a breakdown of the key information:

1. Features:

️· Fast Switching: 6 nS typical switching time.
️· Low Power Consumption: Designed for low DC power usage.
️· Terminated: Implying it’s designed for impedance matching to avoid signal reflections.
️· 50 Ohm Impedance: Nominal impedance is 50 ohms.
️· MIL-STD-883 Screening: Option available for military grade reliability.

2. Ordering Information:

️· Part Number: SW-214-PIN
️· Package: FP-13

3. Electrical Specifications (at 25°C):

️· Insertion Loss: Ranges from 0.9 dB to 1.3 dB depending on frequency (DC to 3 GHz).
️· Isolation: 25 dB to 50 dB depending on frequency (DC to 3 GHz).
️· VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio): Ranges from 1.3:1 to 2.0:1. Lower is better (indicates better impedance matching).
️· Switching Times: Trise/Tfall (Rise/Fall Time): 3 nS, Ton/Toff (Turn On/Off Time): 6 nS.
️· Compression Point (1dB): Varies with frequency; ~+27 dBm at 0.5-3 GHz, and ~+21 dBm at 0.05 GHz.
️· IP2 and IP3: Specifications related to intermodulation distortion, indicating linearity.

4. Control Voltages:

️· Requires control voltages between 0V and -0.2V for one state, and -5V to -8V for the other.

5. Pin Configuration: Top view with marked pins.

6. Typical Performance Curves: Graphs illustrating Insertion Loss, VSWR, and Isolation vs. Frequency.

7. Important Notes:

️· Specifications apply with a 50-ohm load.
️· Faster switching speeds can be achieved with appropriate driver circuitry.
