Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new reflective SPDT switch amplifier from United Monolithic Semiconductors S.A.S. (UMS).

The CHS7012-99F is a monolithic FET-based, reflective switch amplifier that operates in the DC to 12 GHz frequency band. It is designed for a wide range of applications, from military to commercial communication systems.

The new device is developed on a robust 0.25 µm gate length GaN/SiC pHEMT process and is available as bare die.

Additional key features of the CHS7012-99F include:

  • Insertion loss: 1.4 dB
  • Isolation: 35 dB
  • Input power at 1 dB compression (P1dB): +40.5 dBm
  • Switching time: 20 ns
  • Control: -25/0 V
  • Chip size: 1.15 mm x 1.65 mm x 0.1 mm
