Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0100 is a GaAs PHEMT

MMIC single pole three throw (SP3T) high power

switch die. The MASWSS0100 is ideally suited for

applications where high power, low control voltage,

low insertion loss, high isolation, small size and low

cost are required.

Typical applications are for GSM, DCS and PCS

handset systems that connect separate transmit and

receive functions to a common antenna, as well as

other handset and related applications.

This part

can be used in all systems operating up to 2.5 GHz

requiring high power at low control voltage.

The MASWSS0100 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs PHEMT process.

The process

features full passivation for performance and reliabil-

ity.
