v2.0 Normal SP4T Mode
The MM5130 is normally configured as a SP4T, with input on the RFC channel. The RFC is then routed to one of the 4 outputs by biasing the desired RFxGATE pin. MM5130 RF1 RF1GATE RF2 RFC RF2GATE RF3 RF3GATE RF4 RF4GATE Normal SP4T Mode Block Diagram
Super-port Mode
The MM5130 provides for an alternate connection method which can provide enhanced performance for certain RF parameters. This configuration is called super-port. It consists of bypassing the RFC input port and using the remaining 4 channels as a symmetrically oriented SP3T (or SPST or SPDT if preferred). In this manner, any one of the RF1, RF2, RF3, RF4 channels can be connected to any other channel by biasing both desired channels. When operating in super-port mode, slight improvements in RF isolation and return loss can be achieved. Please refer to the “Recommended PCB Layout” section with instructions on how to optimize the PCB layout for super-port mode.
