ADRF5141-EVALZ

The ADRF5141 is a reflective, single pole double-throw (SPDT) switch manufactured in the silicon process. It is used in transmit-receive (T/R) applications with an integrated power limiter at the receive side. The ADRF5141 operates from 8 GHz to 12 GHz. The RX arm with the integrated power limiter has a limiting capability of 18 dBm output power (TBC) with a low insertion loss of 1.3 dB at 10 GHz while the TX arm has an insertion loss of 0.9 dB at 10 GHz. The ADRF5141 draws a low current of 13 ?A on the positive supply of +3.3 V and 360 ?A on negative supply of ?3.3 V. The device employs complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)-/low voltage transistor to transistor logic (LVTTL)-compatible controls. The ADRF5141 requires no additional driver circuitry, making it an ideal alternative to GaN and PIN diode-based switches. The ADRF5141 comes in a 20-lead, 3.0 mm ? 3.0 mm, RoHS-compliant, land grid array (LGA) package and can operate from ?40?C to +85?.APPLICATIONSElectronic warfareMilitary radios, radars, and electronic counter measuresGaN and PIN diode replacement
