MASW-003103-13645P

RF Switches Overview

The MASW-003103-13645P is a general-purpose SP3T RF switch IC from MACOM, operating within a frequency range of 50 MHz to 20 GHz. It features an insertion loss of 1.2 dB and typical off-isolation of 31 dB at 20 GHz. The device utilizes silicon HMIC technology and requires a -10 V supply voltage. It is housed in a 4-SMD module with an exposed pad package and supports surface mount installation. The component operates reliably between -65°C and +125°C or +150°C depending on the specific datasheet version referenced.

RF Switches Feature Summary

• Broadband operation covering 50 MHz to 20 GHz using silicon HMIC technology
• SP3T configuration for versatile signal routing applications
• Designed for high isolation and low insertion loss performance

RF Switches Applications

• Test and measurement equipment requiring broadband switching
• Wireless infrastructure systems
• Military and aerospace communication systems

RF Switches Procurement Notes

Verify the exact operating temperature range specified in the current manufacturer datasheet, as sources indicate variations between +125°C and +150°C maximum ratings. Confirm the package type matches the 4-SMD module with exposed pad requirement for proper PCB layout. Ensure compatibility with the required -10V control voltage before integration into the design.

RF Switches Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth up to 20 GHz is required in a compact surface-mount form factor. The SP3T topology allows connecting one common port to three distinct output ports. Consider the silicon HMIC construction for robustness in harsh environments. Verify that the system can accommodate the necessary negative supply voltage for PIN diode control.
