Product Description SSW-208 Stanford Microdevices’ SSW-208 is a high perfomance 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: 22dB at 2GHz • Low DC Power Consumption • Low Insertion Loss: 0.9dB at 2GHz • Broad Performance - True DC Operation • Low Cost Small Outline Plastic Package Isolation vs. Frequency VControl = -5 V -20 -30 -40 dB -50 Applications • Analog/Digital Wireless System • Spread Spectrum • GPS -60 -70 DC 1 2 3 4 GHz Sym bol P a r a m e t e r s : T e s t C o n d it io n s U n it s M in .
