Description
M/A-COM’s MASWSS0006 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC
single pole two throw (SP2T) high power switch in a low
cost miniature SOT-26 package. The MASWSS0006 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
GSM and DCS handset systems that connect separate
transmit and receive functions to a common antenna, as
well as other related handset and general purpose applications. This part can be used in all systems operating
up to 3 GHz requiring high power at low control voltage.
The MASWSS0006 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron gate
length GaAs PHEMT process. The process features full
passivation for performance and reliability.
