Description
The SKY13348-374LF is a pHEMT GaAs Single-Pole, DoubleThrow (SPDT) high-power switch with 50 Ω terminated outputs.
The high-linearity performance and low insertion loss achieved by
the SKY13348-374LF make it an ideal choice for WiMAX and
WLAN applications such as 802.11 a/b/g/n where low loss, high
isolation, and excellent linearity are key requirements.
The switch is manufactured in a compact, 1.5 x 1.5 mm, 6-pin
exposed pad plastic Micro Leadframe Package Dual (MLPD)
package.
A functional block diagram is shown in Figure 1. The pin
configuration and package are shown in Figure 2. Signal pin
assignments and functional pin descriptions are provided in
Table 1.

Functional Description
The SKY13348-374LF symmetric SPDT switch is designed using
an advanced 0.5-micron GaAs pHEMT foundry process. The
switch features linear power handling up to 7 watts with 50 Ω
terminated outputs. Switching is controlled by two control voltage
inputs, V1 and V2 (pins 1 and 3, respectively). Depending on the
logic voltage level applied to the control pins, the RFC pin is
connected to one of the two switched RF outputs, J1 or J2, using
a low insertion loss path, while the path between the RFC pin and
the other RF pin is in a high isolation state.
DC blocking capacitors are required on all RF ports of the switch,
and determine the lower frequency return loss and insertion loss
of the insertion loss state. The off RF output is internally
terminated to 50 Ω. The low frequency impedance is determined
by an on-chip capacitor and cannot be extended below 500 MHz
using external components. The switch is fully operational below
500 MHz. The off port impedance appears as a reflective open. If
operated below 100 MHz, the power handling and linearity of the
device can be degraded even at high control voltage levels.
If V1 and V2 are biased to both high or low logic levels, the switch
appears as a very poor two-way power splitter with low return
loss on all RF ports. The switch is not damaged if placed in these
states. In normal switching logic modes, V1 and V2 can be set
between 1.8 and 5.0 V.
The SKY13348-374LF is designed for medium to high power,
dual-band WLAN, WIMAX, and LTE switching applications. The
device can also be used in a variety of other applications that
require high performance RF switching. The high P0.1dB and
advance proprietary fabrication process enables an exceptional
third order input intercept point (IIP3), error vector magnitude
(EVM), and harmonic performance. Excellent insertion loss ,
return loss, and isolation are maintained up to 6 GHz.

ESD HANDLING: Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage this device.
This device must be protected at all times from ESD when handling or transporting. Static charges may easily produce
potentials of several kilovolts on the human body or equipment, which can discharge without detection.
Industry-standard ESD handling precautions should be used at all times.
