SKY13396-397LF

RF Switches Overview

The SKY13396-397LF is a dual-pole double-throw (DPDT) radio frequency switch manufactured by Skyworks Solutions Inc. utilizing Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) technology. It operates within a frequency range of 400 MHz to 3 GHz and supports a supply voltage between 1.8 V and 3.1 V. The device features an insertion loss of 0.6 dB and provides typical off-isolation of 17 dB, with an input third-order intercept point (IIP3) of 63 dBm. It is housed in a 12-lead ultra-small flat no-lead (QFN) package measuring 2x2 mm. The component functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -30°C to +90°C.

RF Switches Feature Summary

• Implements Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) technology for enhanced linearity and low power consumption.
• Provides high isolation performance suitable for complex RF signal routing applications.
• Supports wideband operation covering frequencies up to 3 GHz.

RF Switches Applications

• Wireless infrastructure base station front-end modules
• Software-defined radio systems
• Test and measurement equipment

RF Switches Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as the manufacturer has issued discontinuation notifications. Check specific product change notices regarding manufacturing source or assembly updates. Confirm that the 12-QFN package dimensions match design requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 specifications during integration. Review official documentation for any end-of-life timelines affecting long-term production support.

RF Switches Selection Notes

Select this component when DPDT switching functionality is required within the 400 MHz to 3 GHz spectrum. Consider its high IIP3 value for applications demanding strong linearity and minimal distortion. Evaluate the compact 2x2 mm footprint against available board space constraints. Verify that the 1.8 V to 3.1 V control voltage aligns with system logic levels. Assess thermal management needs given the specified operating temperature range.

RF Switches Part Context

This part belongs to the Skyworks SKY13396 series of general-purpose RF switches. It represents a specialized solution for multi-port signal distribution in wireless communication systems. The device integrates multiple switch paths into a single small package to reduce overall system size. It complements other Skyworks components designed for comprehensive RF front-end architectures.

RF Switches Replacement Considerations

SKY13396-397LF is subject to discontinuation. Designers should evaluate alternative DPDT RF switches from Skyworks or other manufacturers offering compatible frequency ranges and package footprints. Verify electrical parameter equivalence before substitution.
