Product Description
GRF6011 is linear, ultra-low loss SPDT switch that has
been designed with failsafe characteristics when all volt-
age inputs are removed. In switching mode, the device
delivers IP1dB levels greater than 1 Watt along with >49
dBm IIP3 levels for both RF paths.
Features
Path: RFC to RF1: (1.9 GHz); Vdd: 3.3V
•
Insertion Loss: 0.43 dB
When powered down (Failsafe Mode), RFC to RF1 de-
faults to a high insertion loss while RFC to RF2 defaults
to a low insertion loss state that retains high linearity.
The device is operated from a supply voltage of 3.0 volts
to 5.0 volts with the single control input (V
SEL
) from 3.0
volts up to V
DD
.
Consult with the GRF applications engineering team for
technical support and device s-parameters.
