Description

M/A-COM’s MASW-008853 is a GaAs PHEMT

MMIC single pole double throw (SPDT) high power

switch in a low cost SC70 six lead package. The

MASW-008853 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 CDMA handset systems

that connect separate transceiver and/or GPS

functions to a common antenna, as well as other

related handset and general purpose applications.

The MASW-008853 can be used in all systems

operating up to 5.0 GHz requiring high power at low

control voltage.

The MASW-008853 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs pHEMT process. The process

features full passivation for performance and

reliability.
