75 Ohm SP2T RF Switch
5 MHz to 3000 MHz
F2970
Datasheet
Description
The F2970 is a high reliability, low insertion loss, 75 Ω absorptive
SP2T RF switch designed for a multitude of cable systems and
other RF applications. This device covers a broad frequency
range from 5 MHz to 3000 MHz. In addition to providing low
insertion loss, the F2970 also delivers excellent linearity and
isolation performance while providing a 75 Ω termination for the
unselected port.
The F2970 uses a single positive supply voltage and supports
3.3 V logic.
Features
Low Insertion Loss:
0.32 dB @ 1200 MHz
High Isolation:
70 dB @ 1200 MHz (RF1/RF2 to RFC)
Excellent Linearity:
IIP3 of 63 dBm
Selectable Logic Control
Operating Temperature: -40 °C to +105 °C
4 mm x 4 mm 20-pin LQFN package
Competitive Advantage
The F2970 provides broadband RF performance to support the
CATV market along with high power handling, and high isolation.

Description
Ground these pins as close to the device as possible.
RF1 Port. Matched to 75 ohms. If this pin is not 0V DC, then an external coupling capacitor must be
used.
RFC Port. Matched to 75 ohms. If this pin is not 0V DC, then an external coupling capacitor must be
used.
RF2 Port. Matched to 75 ohms. If this pin is not 0V DC, then an external coupling capacitor must be
used.
Control pin to set switch state. See Table 8.
Control pin to set switch state. See Table 8.
Power Supply. Bypass to GND with capacitors shown in the Typical Application Circuit as close as
possible to pin.
Exposed Pad. Internally connected to GND. Solder this exposed pad to a PCB pad that uses multiple
ground vias to provide heat transfer out of the device into the PCB ground planes. These multiple ground
vias are also required to achieve the specified RF performance.
