The ATEK256N3 is a preliminary absorptive SPDT switch, extending capabilities across a 20 GHz frequency range. Designed primarily for low-frequency operations, it offers an insertion loss of 1.8 dB, which is suitable for minimizing loss in signal transmission paths. With an isolation specification of 45 dB, the switch ensures effective signal separation and low cross-talk.
A key feature of the ATEK256N3 is its high linearity, with an IP1dB rated at 24 dBm and IIP3 reaching 40 dBm, safeguarding signal integrity under high-power conditions. It operates with a positive control voltage, further enhancing its applicability across various RF designs. Encased in a 3x3 mm QFN package, it integrates seamlessly into numerous electronic designs and applications.
This switch is well-suited for telecommunications and general RF applications demanding high isolation and low insertion loss. The compact design and high performance make it an excellent choice for engineers looking to optimize their RF system designs.
