ADRF5144BCCZN

RF Switches Overview

The ADRF5144BCCZN is a reflective single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch manufactured using silicon technology. It operates within a frequency range of 1 GHz to 20 GHz, with some sources indicating an extended lower limit of 500 MHz. The device features a typical insertion loss of 0.8 dB and provides high isolation of 52 dB at 20 GHz. It handles an average RF input power of 40 dBm and a peak power of 44 dBm. Current consumption is low, drawing 130 μA on the positive supply and 510 μA on the negative supply. The component is housed in a 20-lead, 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm LGA package.

RF Switches Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BCCZN against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm pinout and electrical specifications. Ensure compatibility with the required PCB footprint for the 20-lead LGA package. Confirm that the intended operating temperature range aligns with the specified -40°C to +85°C limits. Check for any specific handling requirements related to humidity sensitivity during storage and assembly.

RF Switches Selection Notes

Select this component when a reflective switch topology is required for broadband applications up to 20 GHz. It is suitable for designs needing high power handling capabilities without the complexity of external driver circuits. Consider the low control current and CMOS-compatible interface for efficient system integration. Evaluate the trade-off between the reflective nature of the switch and system VSWR requirements compared to non-reflective alternatives.
