Datasheet
Description
The F2910 is a high reliability, low insertion loss, 50 Ω absorptive
SPST RF switch designed for a multitude of wireless and RF
applications. This device covers a broad frequency range from
30 MHz to 8000 MHz. In addition to providing low insertion loss,
the F2910 also delivers excellent linearity and isolation
performance while providing a 50 Ω termination on RF2 in the
isolation mode. The F2910 includes a patent pending constant
impedance
K
|Z|
feature for the RF2 port.
K
|Z|
maintains near
constant impedance when switching RF ports and improves hot
switching ruggedness.
K
|Z|
minimizes VSWR transients and
reduces phase and amplitude variations when switching.
The F2910 uses a single positive supply voltage supporting either
3.3 V or 1.8 V control logic.

Description
This pin may be connected to the paddle and can be grounded.
Ground. Also, internally connected to the ground paddle. Ground this pin as close to the device as
possible.
RF1 Port. Matched to 50
Ω
in the insertion loss state only. If this pin is not 0 V DC, then an external
coupling capacitor must be used.
Power Supply. Bypass to GND with capacitors shown in the Typical Application Circuit as close as
possible to pin.
Logic control pin. See Table 6 for proper logic setting.
RF2 Port. Matched to 50 E. If this pin is not 0V DC, then an external coupling capacitor must be used.
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 and into the PCB ground planes. These multiple
ground vias are also required to achieve the specified RF performance.
