Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0068 is a GaAs PHEMT

MMIC single pole double throw (SPDT) switch in a

low cost 4 mm FQFP-N 20 lead package. The

MASWSS0068 is ideally suited for applications

where low control voltage, low insertion loss, high

isolation, small size and low cost are required.

Typical applications are to replace mechanical

relays in CATV systems. This part can be used in

all 75 ohm systems operating up to 1.0 GHz.

The MASWSS0068 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs PHEMT process. The process

features full passivation for performance and

reliability.
