TagoreTech
TagoreTech, a specialist in Gallium Nitride-on-Silicon (GaN-on-Si) solutions for RF applications, presented its TSX221K GaN SPDT Switch that operates from 0.5 to 12 GHz. Unlike SOI switches, it does not exhibit abrupt voltage breakdown and does not require a negative supply voltage. This high-linearity switch operates over a 2.6 to 5.25 V supply and consumes less than 1 mW of power. It is ideal for use in X-band/C-band radars, datalinks, cellular infrastructure, and satellite terminals.
TMYTEK
