RFSW8000

2.5V TO 5.0V, 5MHz TO 6500MHz

10W SPDT SWITCH

The RFSW8000 is a high power single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch designed for

high performance wireless applications. This wideband switch has been designed

for use from 5MHz to 6.5GHz, where extremely high linearity, high isolation, low

insertion loss, and small package size are required. Switching for the RFSW8000 is

controlled via two control voltage inputs.

The RFSW8000 is manufactured in a pHEMT GaAs process and packaged in an 8-

pin, 2.0mm x 2.0mm quad-flat no-Lead (QFN) plastic package.
