Functional Block Diagram
Product Description
TriQuint’s TQP4M3018 is a high power antenna switch in a single pole three throw
(SP3T) configuration. The die utilizes TriQuint’s PHEMT MMIC switch process to
provide optimized cross-modulation performance for use in CDMA applications.
PHEMT Switches are a very low DC current replacement for classic PIN diode
based switches. This product is ideally suited to applications whe re the antenna of
a CDMA handset is to be routed to the Cellular duplexer, the PCS duplexer and
the GPS receiver input. The design is symmetric and broadband allowing the u ser
to assign cellular, PCS and GPS to ports RF1, RF2 or RF3 as desired.

Note 1: State 1 = +2.4V to +5.0V; State 0 = 0V to +0.2V
Note 2: Differential voltage from State 1 to State 0 must be a minimum of 2.4V
Note 3: DC grounding is not required. Control voltages applied to pins 1, 6 and
9 are differential, being 0v and 2.6V nominally.
Note 4: All pins including the package center paddle are n/c = no connection
and not grounded as the preferred user configuration. RF performance f i gures
are quoted with n/c. Grounding an n/c will not prevent the switch operation but
may give a small degradation in RF performance.
