STANFORD SSW108

Product Description
SSW-108
Stanford Microdevices’ SSW-108 is a high performance
Gallium Arsenide Field Effect Transistor MMIC switch
housed in a low-cost surface-mountable small outline
plastic package.
DC-4 GHz High Isolation
GaAs MMIC SPDT Switch
This single-pole, double-throw, non-reflective switch
consumes less than 50uA and operates at -5V and 0V for
control bias. Its high isolation and low insertion loss
makes it ideal for T/R switching in analog and digital
wireless communication systems.
The die is fabricated using 0.5 micron FET process with
gold metallization and silicon nitride passivation to achieve
excellent performance and reliability.
Product Features
• High Isolation: 32dB at 2GHz
