Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0166 is a GaAs monolithic

switch in a lead-free SOT-363 surface mount plastic

package. The MASWSS0166 is ideally suited for

applications where very low power consumption, low

insertion loss, very small size and low cost

are

required.

Typical applications are dual band systems that

require switching between small signal components

such as filter banks, single band LNA’s and

converters.

The MASWSS0166 can be used in

applications up to 0.25 Watts in systems such as

cellular, PCS, DCS1800, GSM, CDMA, W-CDMA

and other analog/digital wireless communications

systems.

The MASWSS0166 is fabricated using a mature 0.5

micron GaAs PHEMT process.

The process

features full passivation for increased performance

and reliability.
