Antenna tuners Forum Discussions
What are the likely failure conditions when RFFE Control Voltage Levels are exceeded on BGSA family Antenna Tuners?
I'm specifically interested in understanding the failure condition when USID_SEL is pulled up to 3.0V on BGSA143ML10.
VIO is within spec at 1.8V.
The Max sustained voltage on RFFE Control Voltages is listed as Vio+0.7 up to a max of 2.2V. There's also the instantaneous ESD levels of several kV that these pins can withstand.
Those inputs are likely protected with a 0.7V diode. Is there a sustained current rating for those diodes?
If the input does fail, is it expected to fail open, shorted to Ground, shorted to Power, or some other case?
With the understanding that the input pins should NOT be connected to any source above 2.2V, I appreciate all comments.

Hi,
I will use an FPGA to configure a BGSA144ML10.
Is my understanding of the configuration phase correct when I do not want to use triggers?
1. Set register 0x1C = 0x00 to power up the tuner
2. Wait 50ns
3. Set register 0x1C = 0x80 to disable the trigger mask 0
4. Set register 0x00=desired switch setting which will make the tuner reconfigure the path immediately.
5. Repeat step 4 with new setting when desired.
If I want to use a trigger:
1. Set register 0x1C = 0x00 to power up the tuner
2. Wait 50ns
3. Set register 0x00=desired switch setting which will configure the shadow register only.
4. Set register 0x1C = 0x01 to set trigger0 which will make setting active.
5. Clear trigger setting by setting register 0x1C = 0x00?? Or is it cleared automatically?
6. Repeat from step 3 with new setting when desired.
Thanks in advance!

Fully understand that the device is not characterised at these frequencies, and that we will have to do that ourselves.

It is using plastic housing with strong structure and long protection in good stability.It is widely used in vehicle management, storage management, asset management and other fields.
Is there anywhere I can find S-Parameter models for the the BGSA14GN10 RF switch? Thanks
The BGSA142GN12 SP4T switch data sheet shows a single RFC pin. However the PCB footprints for the switch show an RFC1 and RFC2 pin. How should these 2 pins be handled? should they be shorted together? should RFC2 be floating?
Thanks!
