Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0115 is a GaAs PHEMT

MMIC single pole, double throw (SPDT) switch in a

low cost, lead-free SC-70 (SOT-363) surface mount

plastic package. The MASWSS0115 is ideally suited

for applications where very small size and low cost

are required.

Typical applications are dual band systems which

require switching between small signal components

such as filter banks, single-band LNAs, converters,

etc. This part can be used for low power, low loss

requirements in all systems operating up to 3 GHz,

including PCS, GSM, DCS, Blue Tooth, and other

receive chain applications.

The MASWSS0115 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs PHEMT process. The process

features full passivation for performance and

reliability.
