Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0029 is a GaAs PHEMT

MMIC single pole double throw (SPDT) high power

switch in a low cost SOT-26 package.

The

MASWSS0029 is ideally suited for applications

where high power, low control voltage, low insertion

loss, high isolation, small size and low cost are re-

quired.

Typical applications are for CDMA handset systems

that connect separate transceiver and/or GPS func-

tions to a common antenna, as well as other related

handset and general purpose applications. This part

can be used in all systems operating up to 3.0 GHz

requiring high power at low control voltage.

The MASWSS0029 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs PHEMT process.

The process

features full passivation for performance and reliabil-

ity.
