Skyworks Solutions Inc of Woburn, MA, USA (which manufactures analog and mixed-signal semiconductors) has launched a dual-band single-pole four-throw (SP4T) WiFi switch with integrated GPIO interface and 50 Ohm match on all RF output ports.
The SKY13575-639LF is suitable for dual-band switching in Wi-Fi access points, WLAN 802.11ac and 3G/4G LTE systems and is also suitable for access points, customer-premises equipment (CPE), LTE systems, dual-band WLAN and test & measurement equipment.
Using silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology, the switch consumes less than 10μA of current and offers a broad frequency range, low insertion loss (0.6dB at 2.5GHz, 1.1dB at 6GHz), high isolation (40dB at 2.5GHz, 30dB at 6GHz) and integrated match.
The built-in decoders also simplify the process for users because it limits the number of GPIO lines needed for control.
SKY13575 can operate over the temperature range of -40°C to 90°C, making it suitable for a variety of applications. The switch has a small footprint, and is delivered in a 14-pin, quad-flat no-lead (QFN) 1.6mm x 1.6mm x 0.45mm package.
