Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0161 is a GaAs MMIC SPDT

switch in a lead free SOIC-8 lead surface mount

plastic package. The MASWSS0161 is ideally suited

for use where low power consumption is required.

Typical

applications

include

transmit/receive

switching, switch matrices and switched filter banks

in systems such as radio and cellular equipment,

PCM, GPS, fiber optic modules, and other battery

powered radio equipment.

The MASWSS0161 is fabricated using a monolithic

GaAs MMIC using a mature 1 micron process. The

process features full chip passivation for increased

performance and reliability.
