Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0169 is a GaAs MMIC SPDT

switch in a lead-free MSOP-10 surface mount plastic

package. This part is ideal for high isolation,

broadband

switching

requirements.

Typical

applications include synthesizer switching, transmit/

receive switching, switch matrices and filter banks in

systems such as radio and cellular equipment, PCM,

GPS, and fiber optic modules.

The MASWSS0169 is fabricated as a monolithic

GaAs MMIC using a 0.5 micron PHEMT process.

The process features full passivation.

3. For improved performance at frequencies below 500 MHz,

use larger value capacitors.
