Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0167 is a GaAs PHEMT

MMIC single pole double throw (SPDT) switch in a

lead-free 1.2 x 1.5 mm 6-lead PQFN package. The

MASWSS0167 is ideally suited for applications

where low control voltage, low insertion loss,

moderate isolation, small size and low cost are

required.

Typical applications are for filter and antenna

switching in wireless LAN systems that connect

separate receive functions to a common antenna, as

well as other handset and general purpose switching

applications.

The MASWSS0167 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs PHEMT process.
