Description

MA0S506AJ

The MA0S506AJ is a medium power 5.0 – 6.0 SPDT
switch. Typical applications include the
transmit/receive functions in 802.11a, Hiperlan, and
fixed wireless access applications. All RF
impedances are 50 ohms, and all RF ports are
internally DC blocked. The switch operates over a
typical voltage range of 2.7 to 5.5 volts. The
MA0S506AJ is offered in an MSOP-8 package.

The MA0S506AJ is fabricated using M/A-COM’s 0.5
micron MESFET process for a low single supply
voltage, high linearity, and excellent reliability.
