VC1
M/A-COM’s MASWSS0202 is a broadband GaAs
PHEMT MMIC SPDT switch in a lead-free 3 mm
12-lead PQFN package. The MASWSS0202 is
ideally suited for applications where very small size
and low cost are required.
Typical applications are for WLAN IEEE 802.11a
and 802.11b/g PC cards and access points. Other
applications include cordless phones and base
stations. Designed for high power, this SPDT switch
maintains high linearity up to 6.0 GHz.
