Product Overview
Mini-Circuits’ M3SWA-2-50DRB+ is a MMIC SPDT absorptive switch with an internal driver designed for
wideband operation from DC to 4.5 GHz supporting many applications requiring fast switching across a
wide frequency range. This model provides excellent isolation, fast switching speed and high
linearity in a tiny 3.25 x 3.25mm 8-Lead MCLP package.
Key Features
Feature
Advantages
One model can be used in many applications, saving component count. Also ideal
for wideband applications such as military and instrumentation.
Wideband, DC to 4.5 GHz
In the OFF condition, RF output ports which are not switched ON are terminated into
50Ω. This enables proper impedance termination of the circuitry following the RF
output ports, preventing any unintended action such as oscillation.
Absorptive switch
High Isolation:
• 62 dB at 1000 MHz
• 35 dB at 4500 MHz
High isolation significantly reduces leakage of power into OFF ports.
High linearity:
Input power at P1dB, 25.4 dBm typ.
Input IP3, +46.5 dBm typ.
High linearity minimizes unwanted intermodulation products which are difficult or
impossible to filter in multi-carrier environments such as CATV, or in the presence of
strong interfering signal from adjacent circuitry or received by antenna.
Fits into existing PCB footprint designed for M3SWA-2-50DR+ with minor electrical
differences.
Form-fit compatible with M3SWA-250DR+
Tiny size, 3.25 x 3.25 mm MCLP package
Tiny footprint saves space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeat-
able transitions, and excellent thermal contact to the PCB.
