Description
The SKY13431-374LF is a GaAs pHEMT single-pole, double-throw
(SPDT) high-power switch with 50 Ω terminated outputs. The
high-linearity performance and low insertion loss achieved by the
SKY13431-374LF make it an ideal choice for WiMAX and higher
power WLAN applications such as access points.
This part is designed for use in WLAN systems using discrete
power amplifier (PA) and low-noise amplifier (LNA)
implementations. The 50 Ω impedance of the switch in the “off”
state ensures good isolation regardless of the match to which the
switch is connected.
The SKY13431-374LF is manufactured in a compact,
1.5 x 1.5 mm, 6-pin Dual Flat No-Lead (DFN) 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
Electrical and Mechanical Specifications
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, RF1 or RF2, using a low insertion loss
path, while the path between the RFC pin and the other RF pin is
in a high isolation state.
The absolute maximum ratings of the SKY13431-374LF are
provided in Table 2. Electrical specifications are provided in
Table 3.
DC blocking capacitors are required on all RF ports of the switch.
The value of the capacitors determines the low frequency
operation. The isolated RF output is internally terminated to 50 Ω.
The return loss of the isolated port is limited in frequency by onchip capacitors.
Typical performance characteristics of the SKY13431-374LF are
illustrated in Figures 3 through 6.
The state of the SKY13431-374LF is determined by the logic
provided in Table 4.

1 Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other parameters
set at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device.
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.
