RF switches feature WiFi and Bluetooth
Two new WiFi switches which are ideal for WLAN networks, repeaters, ISM band radios, Bluetooth systems, smartphones and connectivity modules have been introduced by Skyworks.
The SKY13585-679LF is a Single-Pole, Double-Throw (SPDT) switch intended for 1-6GHz applications. Using advanced switching technologies, this switch maintains low insertion loss and high isolation for all switching paths.
The SKY13586-678LF is a Single-Pole, Triple-Throw (SP3T) antenna switch for 2.4GHz WiFi applications. These devices offer wide 3-5V supply range and are compatible with 1.8 or 3.3V control logic.
They require fewer control signals from industry-standard SP2T and SP3T solutions and include integrated DC blocking capacitors, so no external DC blocking capacitors are required. They also feature high-linearity performance and low insertion losses, making them an ideal choice for transmit/receive applications. The switches are available in ultra-miniature 1x1 and 1.1x1.1 packages (6-or 8-pin), saving precious application board space and cost for OEMs.
