nTERMINAL INFORMATION

No. SYMBOL EXPLANATION

1 P1

RF port. This port is connected with PC port by controlling 6th pin (V

CTL(H)

) to

2.7~9.0V and 4th pin (V

CTL(L)

) to -0.2~+0.2V. An external capacitor is

required to block the DC bias voltage of internal circuit. (50~100MHz:

0.01µF, 0.1~0.5GHz: 1000pF, 0.5~2.5GHz: 56pF)

2 GND

Ground terminal. Please connect this terminal with ground plane as close
as possible for excellent RF performance.

3 P2

RF port. This port is connected with PC port by controlling 4th pin (V

CTL(H)

) to

2.7~9.0V and 6th pin (V

CTL(L)

) to -0.2~+0.2V. An external capacitor is

required to block the DC bias voltage of internal circuit. (50~100MHz:

0.01µF, 0.1~0.5GHz: 1000pF, 0.5~2.5GHz: 56pF)

4 V

CTL2

Control port 2. The voltage of this port controls PC to P2 state. The ‘ON’
and ‘OFF’ state is toggled by controlling voltage of this terminal such as
high-state (2.7~5.5V) or low-state (-0.2~+0.2V). The voltage of 6th pin have
to be set to opposite state. The bypass capacitor has to be chosen to
reduce switching speed delay from 10pF~1000pF range.

5 PC

Common RF port. In order to block the DC bias voltage of internal circuit, an
external capacitor is required. (50~100MHz: 0.01uF, 0.1~0.5GHz: 1000pF,

0.5~2.5GHz: 56pF)

6 V

CTL1

Control port 1. The voltage of this port controls PC to P2 state. The ‘ON’
and ‘OFF’ state is toggled by controlling voltage of this terminal such as
high-state (2.7–5.5V) or low-state (-0.2~+0.2V). The voltage of 4th pin have
to be set to opposite state. The bypass capacitor has to be chosen to
reduce switching speed delay from 10pF~1000pF range.
