Skyworks launches high-power 50-100W SPDT PIN diode switches

Skyworks Solutions Inc of Woburn, MA, USA, which manufactures analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, has unveiled three high-power single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switches for multiple applications.

The SKY12207-478LF (0.9-4.0GHz; 50W), SKY12208-306LF (0.02-2.7GHz; 50W) and SKY12210-478LF (0.9-4.0GHz; 100W) deliver transmit/receive and fail-safe switching functionality for TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE base stations, as well as land mobile radios and military communication systems.

The PIN diode switches handle continuous-wave RF input power and provide very low insertion loss in the antenna-to-Rx mode, minimizing the effect on receiver noise figure. They are packaged in small, 4mm x 4mm quad flat no-lead plastic surface-mount technology, which make them suitable for compact system designs with challenging power levels, the firm says.

Samples are available, and pricing depends on quantities.
