Newark is now shipping the new high-power SPDT (Single-Pole Double-Throw) RF antenna switch from Toshiba.

The SPDT RF (TCWA1225G) switch is important for the expansion of 5G networks. This is because the expansion requires antennae that are increasingly composed of complex signal transmission paths that need RF switching with low insertion loss and high input power, but in a compact package.

In response, the SPDT RF offers an input peak power of 46 dBm (at 8dB PAR) in a very small footprint. This means that while antenna size can be maintained, or even reduced, power output can remain consistent.

Toshiba’s SPDT RF switch was designed and produced in response to the increased introductions of massive MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology in telecommunications base stations, which use multiple transmit and receive antennae to provide ultra-high speed and ultra-large capacity radio communications services essential for 5G.

Individual antenna are also increasingly composed of super-multi-element antennae and complex signal transmission paths. Traditionally, RF switching is generally used for switching between complex transmission paths. However, the RF switch must have low insertion loss, high input power and be small enough so that the number of RF switches and the size of antennae would not increase due to space limitations. The SPDT RF switch resolves both of those limitations.

Jose Lok, Newark Product Category Director, Semiconductors, said, “This switch is a major accelerator for 5G and it’s essential that it’s widely and readily available to fulfil the promise of 5G networks. We are delighted to work with Toshiba to ensure this space and cost-saving device delivers its full potential in ensuring 5G implementation.”

The SPDT RF switch from Toshiba is now available and shipping from Newark in North America, Farnell in EMEA, and element14 in APAC.

Transphorm’s high performance, high-reliability SuperGaN^® power semiconductors leverage one of the largest power GaN IP portfolios (1,000+ patents) within the widest variety of device packages. This technological expertise is harnessed in a normally-off d-mode GaN platform that delivers best-in-class robustness and reliability. End products using SuperGaN FETs gain several advantages such as higher power density and efficiency along with lower total power system cost versus alternative solutions.

The above and other application advantages are made possible by the SuperGaN platform’s fundamental physics. These physics drive game-changing innovations available today and slated for the future—resulting in Transphorm’s GaN being a versatile, future-proofed GaN solution.

Newark Product Category Director, Passives & Semiconductors, Jose Lok, said, “Onboarding Transphorm as a new supplier supports our commitment to deliver high quality products to customers while giving them the ability to choose preferred manufacturers as well as the best GaN device package and performance to meet their design needs.”

Transphorm’s GaN innovations have led to several industry firsts, such as the 1200 V GaN-on-Sapphire device slated for commercial availability mid-2024; short-circuit withstand times of five microseconds; and a GaN four quadrant switch with true voltage and current bidirectionality control.

Lok added, “The primary advantage of SuperGaN is the use of GaN in its native d-mode form. By doing this, the 2DEG channel that is spontaneously created between the undoped GaN and AlGaN layers is left untouched. This yields a simple-to-manufacture solution that harnesses all the 2DEG’s inherent advantages, maximizing the device’s electron mobility and charge while minimizing temperature effects. The result is the highest performing solution spanning the widest power spectrum versus other Si and WBG technologies. These are just some of the many reasons we are now delighted to offer them, with rapid ordering and delivery options, to our customers.”

“The power electronics market across all industries is radically changing as power conversion technologies like our SuperGaN platform drive major design and performance advantages,” said Vipin Bothra, VP of sales for North America and Europe at Transphorm. “Our GaN devices are currently being adopted into a global consumer, industrial and automotive markets.
