ADG936BCPZ-R

Overview

The ADG936BCPZ-R is a wideband analog switch from Analog Devices, featuring two independently selectable Single-Pole Double-Throw (SPDT) switches. It operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 4 GHz and supports supply voltages between 1.65 V and 2.75 V. The device offers typical insertion loss of 0.9 dB and off-isolation of 36 dB at 1 GHz. It utilizes CMOS technology in an LFCSP-20 package, with maximum run times of 11 ns and idle times of 10 ns. Power consumption is minimal at 2.75 µW, and it functions reliably across temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Comprises two independently selectable SPDT switches using CMOS process for high isolation and low insertion loss
• Wideband operation covering DC to 4 GHz with integrated board calibration capabilities
• Onboard CMOS control logic compatible with standard CMOS inputs without external circuitry

Applications

• RF signal routing in wireless communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment requiring broadband switching
• Evaluation of RF switch performance using dedicated development boards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R' indicates reel packaging when ordering. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your region. Ensure that the LFCSP-20 package type aligns with your PCB footprint design. Check humidity sensitivity specifications if storage conditions are critical. Validate that the operating temperature range suits your intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring dual SPDT switching up to 4 GHz. Consider the low power dissipation of 2.75 µW for energy-sensitive designs. The CMOS control interface simplifies integration with digital logic. Evaluate the 36 dB isolation at 1 GHz against system leakage requirements. Ensure the 1.65 V to 2.75 V supply voltage matches your available power rails.

Part Context

The ADG936 series includes variants like the ADG936 and ADG936-R, designed as wideband analog switches. These devices are part of Analog Devices' portfolio for RF and microwave applications. The ADG936BCPZ-R specifically denotes the reel-packaged version of the BC grade device. It shares architectural similarities with other members of the ADG936 family but differs in packaging and potentially minor electrical tolerances.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the ADG936BCPZ for tray packaging or the ADG936-R for reel packaging. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters before substitution. The EVAL-ADG936EBZ evaluation board is suitable for testing these components.

FAQ

What is the difference between ADG936 and ADG936-R?

The ADG936 typically refers to the general device or tray-packaged version, while the ADG936-R specifically denotes the reel-packaged variant. Both share the same electrical characteristics and functionality.

Does the ADG936 require external control circuits?

No, the ADG936 features onboard CMOS control logic that is directly compatible with CMOS inputs, eliminating the need for external control circuitry.
