AWS5506S14TR

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Overview

The AWS5506S14TR is a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) GaAs MMIC switch manufactured by Anadigics. It operates from DC to 2.5 GHz with a maximum insertion loss of 1.1 dB. The device utilizes complementary positive control voltages and requires a positive voltage supply between +3V and +5V. It features low DC power consumption and is housed in an ultra-miniature SOT-6 plastic package.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR' indicates tape and reel packaging, as standard datasheets may list the component without this suffix. Confirm the manufacturer is Anadigics or its successor entity, as corporate structures have changed. Ensure the operating temperature range and pinout match the SOT-6 specification provided in official documentation before procurement.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Selection Notes

Select this component when a reflective SPDT switch is required for frequencies up to 2.5 GHz. It is suitable for designs needing low insertion loss and minimal board space. Consider the requirement for complementary positive control voltages (+3V to +5V) during circuit design. Verify compatibility with the SOT-6 footprint if space is constrained.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Part Context

The AWS5506 series includes variants like AWS5506S14 and AWS5506-S14. These are GaAs IC SPDT reflective switches designed for analog and digital applications. The series emphasizes low insertion loss, small size, and low cost. The S14 suffix typically denotes the SOT-6 package type.

Signal Switches, Multiplexers, Decoders Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents from II-VI Incorporated, which acquired Anadigics assets. Verify functional compatibility regarding frequency range, insertion loss, and control voltage requirements before substituting.
