level
• Stable Characteristics over wide temperature range
• Fast switching-100ns Typical
• Low current consumption, 400µA typical at 5.5V
• 8 pin SSOP package (3.0 × 6.4mm)
Applications
• GSM1800 handportable
• GSM1900 handportable
• DECT basestation/handportable diversity antenna
switching
• Other digital cellular and wireless local loop
applications
Typical Application
ESD

When using the CXG1017N, the following external components should be used:
C1: This is used for signal line filtering 100pF is recommended.
C2: This is used for RF De-coupling and must be used in all applications. 100pF is recommended.
Rrf: This resistor is used to stabilize the dc operating point at high power levels. A value of 75kΩ is
recommended.
D1: 6.2V Zenor diodes may be incorporated at the Control lines, as indicated, in order to give improved
ESD performance if necessary.
Note) Internal and External Antenna Connections should be
diagonally opposite (1-3, 2-4).
