Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0191 is an industry leading

GaAs PHEMT MMIC single pole three throw (SP3T)

CDMA-GPS switch in a 2 mm 8-lead STDFN

package.

The MASWSS0191 is uniquely configured to enable

switching from a common antenna port to CDMA

cellular, CDMA PCS, or GPS ports. The design is

asymmetric and has been fully optimized for

excellent cross modulation performance in CELL

and PCS paths while still maintaining excellent

insertion loss and isolation.

The MASWSS0191 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs PHEMT process.

The process

features

full

passivation

for

performance

and

reliability.
