Description
M/A-COM’s MASWSS0162 is a GaAs MMIC SPST
switch in a lead-free SOIC-8 lead surface mount
plastic package. The MASWSS0162 is ideally suited
for use where low power consumption is required.
Typical applications include transmit/receive switching, switch matrices and switched filter banks in systems such as radio and cellular equipment, PCM,
GPS, fiber optic modules, and other battery powered
radio equipment.
