VSWA2-63DR+

Overview

The VSWA2-63DR+ is a high-isolation absorptive Single-Pole Double-Throw (SPDT) RF switch manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It integrates a CMOS driver and operates on a single positive supply voltage. The device covers a frequency range from 500 MHz to 6 GHz with a typical insertion loss of 1 dB and off-isolation of 46 dB. It functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component utilizes Silicon technology and is housed in a compact 4 mm x 4 mm x 0.9 mm surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a CMOS control driver for simplified interface requirements
• Provides high isolation through absorptive SPDT topology
• Operates using a single positive supply voltage

Applications

• Cellular communication systems
• ISM band applications
• WiMAX infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision when sourcing, as Mini-Circuits may update electrical characteristics or pin configurations over time. Confirm that the 16-QFN package dimensions match your PCB footprint constraints. Ensure the single positive supply requirement aligns with your system power architecture before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth covering 500 MHz to 6 GHz is required in a small form factor. The integrated driver eliminates the need for external logic buffers. Consider the absorptive nature of the switch for improved port-to-port isolation compared to reflective types. Verify that the 1 dB insertion loss meets your link budget requirements for the target frequency band.
