QPC6044
Absorptive High Isolation SP4T Switch
5 MHz to 6000 MHz
The QPC6044 is a Silicon on Insulator (SOI) single-pole, 4-throw
(SP4T) switch, designed for use in cellular, 3G, LTE, and other
high performance communications systems. It offers high
isolation symmetric topology with excellent linearity and power
handling capability. No blocking capacitors are necessary on the
RF ports. The design is non-reflective such that the RFX ports
are terminated into 50 Ω in the off state. QPC6044 is +1.8 V logic
compatible, and incorporates a single pin to disable the internal
Negative Voltage Generator (NVG) and supply a negative
voltage from off-chip, if necessary.
