50Ω 1 to 6000 MHz Case Style: PM2137 Feature Advantages Daisy chain SPI control Allows connecting up to 50 units in series to a single power supply and 3 wire SPI control. RF SP10T absorptive switch Wideband (1 to 6000 MHz) with high isolation (80 dB typ.), and high power rating (+27 dBm through path). High Linearity (IP3 +50 dBm typ.) Results in little or negligible inter-modulation generation, meeting requirements for digital communications signals Solid state switch Provides high speed (6 µs typ) switching with no wear on the switch as with electro-mechanical designs DC Blocking No need for external DC blocking circuitry SMP connectors Snap on RF connectors allow quick assembly and disassembly and the small size of SMP connectors makes tighter assemblies possible Product Overview Mini-Circuits’ SPI-SP10T-63 is a low cost, high speed solid state RF SP10T absorptive switch, with control and power via a Digital Snap Fit connector. The model contains an electronic, high speed (6 µs typ switching time), high linearity (IP3 50 dBm typ), SP10T switch. The RF switch is operated using a 3-wire SPI interface compatible with TTL and LVTTL voltages and allows connecting up to 50 units in series to the same control line in a ‘Daisy Chain’ configuration. The RF switch operates over a wide frequency band from 1 to 6000 MHz with high isolation (80 dB typical) making the switch perfectly suitable for a wide variety of RF applications. The SPI-SP10T-63 is constructed in a compact, rugged metal case (4.58” x 3.395” x 0.40”) with 11 SMP(M) connectors (COM, and J1 to J10), and two Digital Snap-fit connectors providing a strong mechanical connection for SPI control and power, one for input and one for output when connecting multiple units in series.

in Table 1: Switch Logic Table. The serial interface is a 4-bit serial in, parallel-out shift register buffered by a transparent latch. independent of the state of the LE input. ister control the switch. When LE is brought LOW, data in the shift register is latched. logic LOW the switch will not respond to LE. If Lock is not required it can be kept constantly at logic high. control should be entered before raising the LE(see figures 2-4 for connecting units in daisy chain). operation is defined by Figure 1: Serial Interface Timing Diagram and Table 2: Serial Interface AC Characteristics.

  1. LE is connected in parallel to all units in a daisy chain using the switches internal buffers to prevent control current from increasing as more
  2. Mini-Circuits’ SPI converter, model RS232/USB-SPI, can be used to provide a single USB or RS232 interface for up to 50 daisy-chained
