Description
M/A-COM’s SW-485 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC SPDT
switch in a low cost SC-70 (SOT-363) surface mount plastic package. The SW-485 is ideally suited for applications
where very small size and low cost are required. Typical
applications are dual band systems where switching between small signal components is required such as filter
banks, single-band LNAs, converters, etc. This part can be
used for low power, low loss requirements in the all sy stems operating up to 3 GHz, including PCS, GSM, DCS,
Blue Tooth, and other Rx chain applications.
The SW-485 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron gate length
GaAs PHEMT process. The process features full passivation for performance and reliability.

Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are ESD sensitive and
can be damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD techniques should be used when handling these devices.
