Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0136 is a GaAs PHEMT

MMIC SPDT switch in a lead-free SC-70 (SOT-363)

surface mount plastic package. The MASWSS0136

is ideally suited for applications where very small

size and low cost are required.

Typical applications are transmit / receive (Tx / Rx)

switching in linear systems such as WLAN 802.11b/

g. Other applications include 1.9 GHz and 2.4 GHz

DECT and linear systems operating up to 3.0 GHz.

The MASWSS0136 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs PHEMT process.
