Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0091 is a GaAs PHEMT

MMIC single pole six throw (SP6T) high power

switch die. The MASWSS0091 is ideally suited for

applications where high power, low control voltage,

low insertion loss, high isolation, small size and low

cost are required. The MASWSS0091 is designed

for dual-, tri-, and quad-band GSM and DCS/PCS

handset systems that connect separate transmit and

receive functions to a common antenna, and can be

used in all systems operating up to 2.5 GHz requir-

ing high power at low control voltage.

The MASWSS0091 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs PHEMT process.

The process

features full passivation for performance and reliabil-

ity.
