Skyworks launches high-reliability DC-6GHz hermetic GaAs IC SPST non-reflective switch

Through its Milpitas, California-based Isolink subsidiary, Skyworks Solutions Inc of Woburn, MA, USA (which manufactures analog and mixed-signal semiconductors) has launched a low-loss, high-performance wideband DC-6GHz hermetic gallium arsenide (GaAs) IC single-pole single-throw (SPST) non-reflective switch.

Suitable for high-reliability space, satellite, and defense applications, the ISO13316 performs with 45dB isolation at 2GHz and low loss of 1.1dB at 6GHz. Testing is available to the screening requirements of MIL-PRF-38535 Class B and S, in addition to the required quality conformance inspection (QCI).

The ISO13316 die is produced with Skyworks' GaAs pseudomorphic high-electron-mobility transistor (pHEMT) process that has shown radiation tolerance to 100kRad. The device is provided in a 7-lead surface-mount technology (SMT) 0.385-inch x 0.345-inch x 0.065-inch package.

Samples and evaluation boards are available. Pricing depends on quantities.
