DATA SHEET
AS218-321, AS218-321LF: PHEMT GaAs IC High Power
Transfer Switch DC–6 GHz
Applications
● WLAN 802.11a, b, g diversity
Features
● Operating frequency DC–6 GHz
● Positive low voltage control (0/+3 V operation)
● Low insertion loss
● PHEMT process
● Available lead (Pb)-free MSL-1 @ 250 °C per JEDEC J-STD-020
Description
The AS218-321 is a broadband transfer switch designed to
combine T/R and antenna diversity switching functions on a
single IC. The device is designed to handle high power and
maintain high linearity at low control voltages. This low cost
switch is ideal for Wi-Fi systems and is capable of covering
both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.
NEW Skyworks offers lead (Pb)-free “environmentally
friendly” packaging that is RoHS compliant
(European Parliament for the Restriction of
Hazardous Substances).
