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 re-

quired.

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.

The process

features full passivation for performance and reliabil-

ity.
