Description
M/A-COM’s MASWSS0151 is a GaAs MMIC SPDT
switch in a low cost, lead-free SC70 (SOT-363)
surface mount plastic package. The MASWSS0151
is ideally suited for applications that include
transmit / receive switching for Bluetooth and WLAN
equipment.
The MASWSS0151 can also be used in applications
up to 500 mW in cellular, PCS, DCS1800, GSM,
CDMA, and other analog and digital wireless
communications systems.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be
damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control
techniques should be used when handling these
devices.
† Reference Application Note M538 for lead-free solder reflow
recommendations.
