RF SP3T switch for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth & applications up to 6GHz
Low insertion loss and small package size of the gallium arsenide MMIC switch enable combo wireless designs at frequencies from 0.5 to 6.0 GHz.
Renesas Electronics and California Eastern Laboratories (CEL) are now shipping a new compact SP3T Switch for applications up to 6GHz, the μPG2430T6Z.
The μPG2430T6Z is a GaAs MMIC SP3T switch which can be used in a variety of applications. These include single or dual-band 802.11a,b,g,n Wi-Fi / WLAN + Bluetooth, cordless phones, 5.8GHz electronic toll collection, mobile communication, and general short range communications applications up to 6GHz using control voltages of 1.6V – 3.6V.
The μPG2430T6Z provides designers with a combination of low cost, high frequency operation, low insertion loss, high isolation, wide control voltage range, compact packaging, all with quality, reliability and consistency.
This device is housed in a 8-pin plastic TSON (Thin Small Out-line Non-leaded) package and is suitable for high density surface mounting.
