High Linearity SP2T Wi-Fi RF Switch
100MHz to 8GHz
Description
The F2950 is a high power, reflective 50Ω, single-pole double-
throw (SP2T) RF switch. This device covers a 100MHz to 8GHz
frequency range to support a wide variety of applications including
WLAN 802.11.
The F2950 uses a single positive supply voltage and is
compatible with both 1.8V and 3.3V control logic.

Function
Logic control pin. See Table 7 for logic control states.
RF common port. Matched to 50Ω in the insertion loss state only. If this pin is not 0V DC, then an external
coupling capacitor must be used.
Power supply. Bypass to GND with capacitors as close as possible to the pin.
RF2 port. Matched to 50Ω in the insertion loss state only. If this pin is not 0V DC, then an external coupling
capacitor must be used.
Ground. Ground this pin as close to the device as possible.
RF1 port. Matched to 50Ω in the insertion loss state only. 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 into the PCB ground planes. These multiple ground
vias are also required to achieve the specified RF performance.
