High Isolation SPDT Switch
8 pin SSOP (Plastic)
CXG1008N
ESD
As with other GaAs semiconductors, ESD
precautions must be adhered to.
Description
The CXG1008N is a high isolation SPDT switch
suitable for Digital Cellular applications, Cable TV
and so on. This device is part of a growing family of
MMIC Antenna switches for digital cellular and
cordless radios. It uses the state-of-the-art Sony
GaAs JFET process.
Features
• Positive voltage supply only
• Ultra high isolation, typically 58 dB (GSM 900)
• Low insertion loss, typically 0.7 dB at 20 dBm
input level (GSM 900)
• Stable Characteristics over wide temperature
range
• Fast switching-50 ns Typical
• Low current consumption, 50 µA typical at 3.0 V
• 8 pin SSOP package (3.0 × 6.4 mm)
Applications
• Basestation LO switching
(GSM900/1800/1900, PHS)
• Other Low Power SPDT applications requiring high
isolation (e.g. Cable TV)

When using the CXG1008N, the following external components should be used:
C1: This is used for signal line filtering. 100 pF is recommended.
C2: This is used for RF De-coupling and must be used in all applications. 100 pF is recommended.
D1: 6.2 V Zener diodes may be incorporated at the Control lines, as indicated, in order to give improved
ESD performance if necessary.
