11B/G/N WLAN SP3T SWITCH

Package: DFN, 8-Pin, 2.0mm x2.0mm x0.6mm

Functional Block Diagram

Product Description

The RF5500 is a SP3T switch designed for WLAN and WiFi/Bluetooth® applications
in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz ISM band. The RF5500 is capable of switching between

WLAN RX, WLAN TX, and Bluetooth

placed in WLAN and Bluetooth
increase in insertion loss. The RF5500 is provided in a DFN 8-pin
2mmx2mm x0.6mm Pb-Free package. This device meets or exceeds the RF switch
needs of IEEE802.11b/g/n RF systems.
