BGS12WN6 0.05–9 GHz SPDT switch with fast switching speed
The BGS12WN6 is a broadband SPDT RF switch suitable for various wireless systems, including WiFi \BT, UWB, and cellular. Its high linearity performance and low insertion loss make it an ideal choice for switching transmit signals, e.g., as Tx \Rx switch or as antenna diversity switch. The integrated on-chip CMOS logic allows direct connection to a digital control pin, eliminating the need for extra interface circuitry, thereby simplifying system design, and reducing component count. The isolated port is a reflective short. The device’s flexible voltage supply and control enable easy adaptation to diverse applications and use cases.
The BGS12WN6 is fabricated using Infineon’s proprietary RF CMOS technology. Housed in a miniature package, this device is particularly well-suited for applications where PCB space is critical, allowing for optimal utilization of available board real estate.
