Description
The MASWSS0169 is a GaAs MMIC SPDT switch
in a lead-free MSOP-10 surface mount plastic
package. This part is ideal for high isolation,
broadband switching requirements. Typical
applications include synthesizer switching, transmit/
receive switching, switch matrices and filter banks in
systems such as radio and cellular equipment, PCM,
GPS, and fiber optic modules.
The MASWSS0169 is fabricated as a monolithic
GaAs MMIC using a 0.5 micron pHEMT process.
The process features full passivation.
