Description

The M/A-COM MASWSS0024 GaAs monolithic

switch provides high isolation in a low-cost, plastic

surface mount package. The MASWSS0024 is ideal

for applications across a broad range of frequencies

including synthesizer switching, transmit / receive

switching, switch matrices and filter banks in

systems such as radio and cellular equipment, PCS,

GPS, and fiber optic modules.

M/A-COM fabricates the MASWSS0024 using a 1.0-

micron gate length MESFET process. The process

features full chip passivation for performance and

reliability.
