Santa Clara, Calif.—NEC's UPG2193T6E Single Pole Eight Throw (SP8T) GaAs MMIC antenna switch was developed specifically to meet the needs of new 3G UMTS, W-CDMA and Quad Band EDGE mobile phone designs.

The UPG2193T6E replaces the common two-switch solution in mobile communication applications with a single miniature device. The UPG2193T6E delivers low insertion loss, high isolation and high linearity.

Supporting multi-band mobilecomm transceiver platforms, the UPG2193T6E provides switching between five GSM and three W-CDMA pins. The UPG2193T6E also features an onboard SPI controller. It is housed in a 3.5 x 3.5mm package measuring 0.55mm in height.
