Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0117 is a GaAs PHEMT

MMIC single pole double throw (SPDT) high power

switch in a low cost SC70 6-lead package.

The

MASWSS0117 is ideally suited for applications

where high power, low control voltage, low insertion

loss, high isolation, small size and low cost are

required.

Typical applications are for CDMA handset systems

that connect separate transceiver and/or GPS func-

tions to a common antenna, as well as other related

handset and general purpose applications.

The

MASWSS0117 can be used in all systems operating

up to 3.0 GHz requiring high power at low control

voltage.

The MASWSS0117 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs PHEMT process.

The process

features full passivation for performance and reliabil-

ity.
