ADVANCED INFORMATION
2V Control Triple-Band GSM/DCS/PCS SP5T Switch SW-
0.5 – 2.0 GHz
Features
• GSM Power Handling with +2.0V Control
Voltage
• Low Power Consumption. Less than 1µA in Rx
mode
• Integrated Decoder
• Leadless 4 x 4 mm FQFP -N, 20 Pin Package
• Low Insertion Loss of 0.6 dB in GSM Transmit
Mode
Description
The M/A-COM SW-444 is a GaAs monolithic
switch in a low cost, FQFP -N, surface mount plastic
package. The SW-444 is ideally suited for
applications where very low power consumption,
high power handling, and low cost are required. The
SW-444 includes an integrated decoder. This switch
is designed for Transmit and Receive switching for
Triple-Band GSM/DCS/PCS Mobile Phones. The
switch offers GSM power handling as low as +2.0
V control voltage. The supply voltage VDD should
be connected to the highest available voltage and
may be unregulated.
The SW-444 is fabricated using a new 0.5-micron
gate length GaAs pHEMT process. The process
features full chip passivation for increased
performance and reliability.
