Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0093 is a broadband GaAs

PHEMT MMIC SPDT switch in a low cost, lead-free

3 mm 12-lead PQFN package. The MASWSS0093

is ideally suited for applications where very small

size and low cost are required.

The MASWSS0093, with its small size and low

height, is ideal for 802.11a and 802.11b/g PC card

and access point applications.

The MASWSS0093 delivers high isolation, low

insertion loss and high linearity up to 6 GHz.

The MASWSS0093 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs PHEMT process.
