Richardson RFPD, Inc. announced immediate availability and full design support capabilities for three single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switches designed using the 0.25?m GaN on SiC production process from TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. (TriQuint).
The packaged TGS2351-SM operates from DC to 6 GHz and typically provides up to 40 W input power handling at control voltages of 0 / -40 V. This switch maintains low insertion loss of less than 1 dB and high isolation of -40 dB typical. The TGS2352 operates from DC to 12 GHz and typically provides up to 20 W input power handling at control voltages of 0 / -40 V. This switch maintains low insertion loss of 1 dB and high isolation of -35 dB typical. The TGS2353 operates from DC to 18 GHz and typically provides up to 10 W input power handling at control voltages of 0 / -40 V. This switch maintains low insertion loss of 1.5 dB and high isolation of -30 dB typical.
The new SPDT switches are ideally-suited for high power switching applications, including electronic warfare, commercial and military radar, and high power communications systems.
