QPC6324

®
Absorptive, High Isolation SPDT Switch

Product Overview
The QPC6324 is a Silicon on Insulator (SOI) single-pole,
double-throw (SPDT) switch, designed for use in 4G/5G
wireless infrastructure applications and other high-
performance communications systems. It offers high
isolation with excellent linearity and power handling
capability. No blocking capacitors are necessary on the RF
ports. The design is non-reflective such that the RFX ports
QFN 20 Pin 4 mm x 4 mm leadless SMT Package
are terminated into 50 Ω in the off state. The QPC6324 is
+1.8V logic compatible.

The QPC6324 is packaged in a RoHS-compliant, compact

QFN 4x4 mm surface-mount leadless package. Key Features
• 5 MHz to 6000 MHz Operation
• Non-Reflective (RFX ports)
• Terminated All-Off State mode
• No Blocking Caps needed unless voltage is on RF Line
• High Isolation: RFC-RFX: 63 dB at 2 GHz
RFX-RFX: 63 dB at 2 GHz

2. Dimension and tolerance formats conform to ASME Y14.4M-1994.
3. The terminal #1 identifier and terminal numbering conform to JESD 95-1 SPP-012.

PCB Mounting Pattern

Notes:
1. All dimensions are in millimeters. Angles are in degrees.
2. Use 1 oz. copper minimum for top and bottom layer metal.
3. Via holes are required under the backside paddle of this device for proper RF/DC grounding and thermal dissipation.
4. Do not remove or minimize via hole structure in the PCB. Thermal and RF grounding is critical.
5. We recommend a 0.35mm (#80/.0135") diameter bit for drilling via holes and a final plated thru diameter of 0.25 mm (0.01”).
6. Ensure good package backside paddle solder attach for reliable operation and best electrical performance.
