SW-110-PIN

RF Switches Overview

The SW-110-PIN is a GaAs MMIC SPDT reflective RF switch manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. It integrates an integral silicon ASIC driver for control logic. The device operates with a maximum frequency of 3000 MHz and features a typical insertion loss of 0.9 dB. It is housed in a 16-lead ceramic surface mount package, specifically identified as CR-9. This configuration supports high-isolation switching applications within wireless and RF integrated circuit systems.

RF Switches Feature Summary

• Integrates a silicon ASIC driver directly with the GaAs MMIC switch
• Reflective SPDT configuration for signal routing
• Utilizes a 16-lead ceramic surface mount package

RF Switches Applications

• Wireless communication systems
• RF integrated circuit signal routing
• Microwave switching applications

RF Switches Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and package designation against the official MACOM datasheet to ensure compatibility with the 16-lead ceramic surface mount requirement. Confirm that the integral silicon ASIC driver meets the system's voltage and logic interface specifications before procurement. Ensure the reflective nature of the switch aligns with the impedance matching requirements of the target RF path.

RF Switches Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact SPDT solution with integrated digital control is required. The inclusion of the silicon ASIC driver simplifies board-level design by reducing external control circuitry needs. Consider the reflective topology and 0.9 dB insertion loss characteristics relative to system performance budgets. Verify that the 3 GHz maximum frequency range satisfies the operational bandwidth requirements of the intended application.

RF Switches Part Context

This part belongs to the MACOM RF Switch ICs subcategory under Wireless & RF Integrated Circuits. It utilizes Silicon (Si) technology for the driver component and GaAs for the switch MMIC. The product is classified as an RF switch IC designed for surface mount assembly, distinct from hermetic PIN diode switches like the MA4SW110 series.
