ADI’s ADRF5130 switch meets these requirements through a high level of integration that eliminates the need for external components. The switch also reduces power consumption to more efficient levels by operating on a single low-voltage supply with extremely low current consumption compared to existing pin-diode-based solutions. The ADRF5130 is manufactured using silicon technology and is housed in a small 4x4mm LFCSP SMT package.
The ADRF5130 is specified at 0.7 to 3.5GHz frequency band with typical 0.6dB insertion-loss, high isolation of 50dB, excellent linearity of +68dBm and peak power handling of 44W during continuous operation mode. The device features robust 2kV ESD protection on all device pins. It also incorporates a fast CMOS-compatible control interface with switching time less than 1µs. Additionally, a symmetrical circuit architecture allows the RF inputs to be used interchangeably in high power applications.
The ADRF5130, priced at $10.04 each in 1,000 unit quantities, is sampling now will full production scheduled for July 2016.
