GaAs SP3T 2.5 V Switch DC - 3.0 GHz MASWSS0028 V2 Features • • • • Functional Schematic Low Voltage Operation: 2.5V Low Insertion Loss: 0.3 dB at 1 GHz 2mm 8-Lead PQFN Package 0.5 micron GaAs PHEMT Process 100pF 100pF 100pF 100pF Description M/A-COM’s MASWSS0028 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC single pole three throw (SP3T) switch in a low cost 2mm 8-Lead PQFN package. The MASWSS0028 is ideally suited for applications where low control voltage, low insertion loss, high isolation, small size and low cost are required. Typical applications are for filter and antenna switching in handset systems that connect separate 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 low control voltage. The MASWSS0028 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron gate length GaAs PHEMT process. The process features full passivation for performance and reliability.
