Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0184 is a broadband GaAs

PHEMT MMIC diversity switch available in a lead-

free

3

mm

12-lead

PQFN

package.

The

MASWSS0184 is ideally suited for applications

where very small size and high linear power are

required.

Typical applications include 2.5 & 3.5 GHz WiMax,

WLAN MESH networks, fixed wireless access, and

other higher power systems.

Designed for high

power, this DPDT switch maintains high linearity up

to 4.0 GHz.

The MASWSS0184 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs PHEMT process.

The process

features

full

passivation

for

performance

and

reliability.
