Product details
Overview
ADGM1003BCCZ from Analog Devices is a 0 Hz to 16 GHz single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) MEMS RF switch in a 24-lead LGA package, featuring 0.5 dB typical insertion loss (DC–6 GHz), 32 dB isolation (DC–6 GHz), and 75 mA maximum DC current handling. It integrates a 3.3 V CMOS-compatible driver with parallel and SPI control, enabling precise RF path selection in high-frequency test and 5G infrastructure systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADGM1003BCCZ datasheet, ADGM1003BCCZ pinout, ADGM1003BCCZ application, or ADGM1003BCCZ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed MEMS switching performance up to 16 GHz, and real-world use cases in ATE load boards, mmWave cellular infrastructure, and reconfigurable RF attenuators - all grounded in Analog Devices' Rev. A datasheet.
Technical Context
The ADGM1003BCCZ implements electrostatically actuated MEMS switch elements with integrated CMOS driver circuitry, supporting both parallel logic (IN1/IN2) and 4-wire SPI (SDI/SDO/SCLK/CS) interfaces. Its architecture eliminates mechanical relays while maintaining DC-coupled operation and sub-1 dB insertion loss across its full 0–16 GHz bandwidth.
Switch actuation relies on an internal ~10 MHz oscillator generating ~80 V drive voltage at VCP; EXTD_EN allows external 80 V sourcing to suppress oscillator feedthrough. All RF ports (RF1, RF2, RFC) support bidirectional signal flow, with RFGND and AGND internally isolated but recommended to be tied together for optimal RF return path integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Frequency Range | DC to 16 GHz - enables true broadband RF switching from baseband through Ku-band, including 5G FR2 mmWave sub-bands. |
| Insertion Loss | 0.5 dB (typical, DC–6 GHz) - ensures minimal signal attenuation in critical low-frequency control paths and digital loopback applications. |
| Isolation | 32 dB (min, DC–6 GHz) - provides robust channel separation for ATE probe board routing and RF multiplexing without crosstalk-induced measurement error. |
| On Resistance | 3.4 Ω (typical) - supports accurate DC bias injection and low-distortion analog signal routing up to ±3 V and 75 mA. |
| Switching Time | 200 µs (tON/tOFF) - deterministic settling time allows synchronized RF path reconfiguration in automated test sequences. |
| Package | 24-lead LGA, 5.00 mm × 4.00 mm × 0.90 mm - surface-mount footprint compatible with high-density RF PCB layouts and reflow assembly. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and outdoor 5G base station environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
ADGM1003BCCZ uses a 24-lead land grid array (LGA) package measuring 5.00 mm × 4.00 mm × 0.90 mm, with two exposed thermal pads (EP1 connected to AGND, EP2 to RFGND) requiring solder connection for thermal and RF grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1/SDI | Parallel control input / SPI data input | Selects RF1–RFC path in parallel mode; receives serial command data in SPI mode. |
| IN2/CS | Parallel control input / SPI chip select | Selects RF2–RFC path in parallel mode; enables SPI communication when pulled low. |
| AGND/SCLK | Analog ground / SPI clock input | Ground reference for analog circuitry; clocks SPI data transfers when PIN = high. |
| AGND/SDO | Analog ground / SPI data output | Ground reference; outputs register readback or status bits during SPI read cycles. |
| PIN | Interface mode selector | High = SPI mode; low = parallel logic mode - determines functional mapping of IN1/IN2, SCLK, SDO pins. |
| EXTD_EN | External drive enable | Low = internal oscillator active (VCP self-generates ~80 V); high = requires external 80 V at VCP to eliminate oscillator feedthrough noise. |
| RF1, RF2, RFC | RF signal terminals | Bidirectional ports: RFC is common, RF1/RF2 are throws - supports SPDT routing in either direction with matched impedance. |
| VDD | 3.3 V supply input | Power for logic and driver IC; internal decoupling eliminates need for external bypass capacitors. |
| VCP | Charge pump output/input | Outputs ~80 V when EXTD_EN = low; must be driven externally at 80 V when EXTD_EN = high. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DC-to-16 GHz bandwidth | Enables seamless switching of baseband, IF, and mmWave signals - no frequency gaps or harmonic limitations. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPDT MEMS switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADGM1002BCCZ | Wider 0–20 GHz bandwidth; higher 30 dBm RF power rating; ±5 V DC range; 150 mA max current. | Required where >16 GHz operation (e.g., Ka-band radar) or higher DC bias current is needed. | Select ADGM1002BCCZ only if design requires extended frequency coverage or increased current headroom beyond ADGM1003BCCZ's 16 GHz/75 mA limits. |
| ADGM1304BCCZ | SP4T topology (4 RF throws); same 0–16 GHz bandwidth; identical 3.3 V interface and LGA package. | Suitable for multi-path RF routing (e.g., 4x4 MIMO antenna switching) where SPDT is insufficient. | Choose ADGM1304BCCZ when system architecture demands more than two RF paths per switch IC - not a drop-in replacement due to pinout and control logic differences. |
Compared with ADGM1002BCCZ and ADGM1304BCCZ, the ADGM1003BCCZ offers optimized cost-performance balance for 16 GHz-class applications with lower DC current and voltage requirements, making it ideal for space-constrained 5G FR2 front-ends and ATE probe cards where SPDT functionality suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum RF frequency supported by the ADGM1003BCCZ?
The ADGM1003BCCZ supports a continuous operational bandwidth from 0 Hz (DC) up to 16 GHz, as specified in Table 5 of the Rev. A datasheet. This covers key bands including sub-6 GHz 5G, C-band radar, and lower segments of mmWave 5G FR2 (e.g., 24–29.5 GHz requires ADGM1002BCCZ or ADGM1001BCCZ). Performance metrics like insertion loss and isolation are characterized across this full range.
Does the ADGM1003BCCZ require external high-voltage circuitry?
No - the ADGM1003BCCZ integrates a charge pump that generates ~80 V internally when EXTD_EN is low, eliminating need for external HV supplies. However, if oscillator feedthrough noise must be suppressed (e.g., in sensitive receiver chains), EXTD_EN can be set high and an external 80 V source applied to VCP, as detailed in the Internal Oscillator Feedthrough Mitigation section.
Can the ADGM1003BCCZ handle DC bias signals?
Yes - the ADGM1003BCCZ supports ±3 V DC signal range and 75 mA maximum DC current in the on-state, with 3.4 Ω typical on-resistance. It is designed for DC-coupled applications such as bias tee integration, active antenna control, and precision calibration paths where signal integrity at baseband matters.
How does the ADGM1003BCCZ compare to electromechanical relays?
The ADGM1003BCCZ replaces electromechanical relays with solid-state MEMS switching: 100 million actuation lifetime vs. ~1 million for relays; 200 µs switching time vs. 10–100 ms; no contact bounce or wear-out mechanisms; and superior repeatability (<0.15 Ω on-resistance drift). It also enables smaller PCB footprints and eliminates coil drive circuitry required by relays.
Is the ADGM1003BCCZ pin-compatible with other ADGM100x variants?
Yes - ADGM1001BCCZ, ADGM1002BCCZ, and ADGM1003BCCZ share identical 24-lead LGA packages and pinouts, allowing hardware reuse across frequency grades. However, DC ratings differ: ADGM1003BCCZ supports only ±3 V / 75 mA, while ADGM1002BCCZ supports ±5 V / 150 mA and ADGM1001BCCZ supports ±6 V / 200 mA - firmware and layout must verify voltage/current compliance.
