Description

The MA0S506AJ is a medium power 5.0-6.0 SPDT

switch. Typical Applications include the transmit/

receive functions in 802.11a and Hiperlan, and fixed

wireless access applications. All RF impedances

are 50 Ω, and all RF ports are internally DC blocked.

The switch operates over a typical voltage range of

2.7 to 5.5 volts. The MA0S506AJ is offered in a

MSOP-8 package.

The MA0S506AJ is fabricated using M/A-COM’s 0.5

micron MESFET process for a low single supply

voltage, high linearity, and excellent reliability.
