Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0201 is a broadband GaAs

PHEMT MMIC SPDT terminated switch in a low

cost, lead-free 3 mm 12-lead PQFN package. The

MASWSS0201 is ideally suited for applications

where an unpowered on state is critical in a single

control

line

SPDT

terminated switch.

The

condition. This part can also be configured as a

reflective switch with minimal impact to the RF

performance.

The MASWSS0201 delivers high isolation, low

insertion loss and high linearity up to 2.5 GHz.

The MASWSS0201 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs E/D PHEMT process.

The

process features full passivation for performance

and reliability.

2. M/A-COM recommends that all unused (N/C) pins be

connected to ground. All data on this datasheet was taken

with N/C pins connected to ground.

3. Terminated grounds require DC blocking capacitors; see

application schematic.

4. The exposed pad centered on the package bottom must be

connected to RF and DC ground.
