Description

M/A-COM’s MASW-007921 is a broadband GaAs

pHEMT MMIC SPDT switch available in a lead-free

2 mm 8-lead PDFN package. The MASW-007921 is

ideally suited for applications where very small size

and high linearity are required.

Typical applications include WiMAX, WLAN, Mesh

networks, fixed wireless access, and other higher

power systems. This switch has a very high initial

compression point, ideal for complex modulations

such as OFDM, with large peak average power

levels.

The MASW-007921 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs pHEMT process.
