Description

M/A-COM’s SW-442 is a GaAs monolithic switch in

a low cost SOT-26 surface mount plastic package.

The SW-442 is ideally suited for applications where

very low power consumption, low insertion loss and

very small size are required.

Typical application is in dual band systems which

require switching between small signal components

such as filter banks, single band LNA's, converters

etc. The SW-442 can be used in applications up to

0.25 Watts in systems such as CDMA, W-CDMA,

PCS,

DCS1800,

GSM and other analog/digital

wireless communications systems.

The SW-442 is fabricated using a mature 0.5 micron

GaAs PHEMT process. The process features full

passivation

for

increased

performance

and

reliability.
