TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

The PE71S5000 is a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) Absorptive Switch that covers a wide frequency band from DC to 20

GHz. This general purpose design utilizes GaAs MESFET MMIC technology that has extremely fast switching speed levels of

5 nsec. Additional typical performance includes 45 dB Isolation up to 5 GHz, and 2 dB Insertion Loss at 12 GHz. The design

also incorporates CMOS driver circuitry that allows a single +5V biased voltage at very low DC current levels. The drop-in

package is hermetically sealed with field replaceable SMA connectors. Operating temperature range is -55°C to +85°C. And

for added confidence, this rugged package assembly is designed to meet MIL-STD-883 test conditions for Hermeticity and

Temperature Cycle.
