Product Description
Stanford Microdevices’ SSW-408 is a high performance Gallium Arsenide Field Effect Transistor MMIC switch housed in a
low-cost surface mountable small outline plastic package.
SSW-408
DC-4 GHz High Power GaAs MMIC
SPDT Switch
This single-pole, double-throw reflective switch consumes less
than 50uA and can operate with positive or negative 3V to 8V
supply voltages, making it suitable for use in both infrastructure and subscriber equipment. This switch can be used in all
analog and digital wireless communication systems including
(but not limited to) AMPS, PCS, DECT, IS-95, IS-136, 802.11,
CDPD and GSM.
At +5V or –5V bias, typical output power at 1dB compression
is 3 watts. 1dB output power over 4 watts and IP3 over +55dBm
may be achieved with higher control voltages.

Note 1: The “Vdd” pin should be permanently connected to the most positive control voltage. If using
positive (0V / 5V) control signals, Vdd = 5V. If using negative (-5V / 0V) control voltages, Vdd = 0V.
Note 2: The differential control voltage (v = |V1 - V2|) may be from 3V to 8V in magnitude.
Note 3: Decouple “Vdd” to a good RF ground, and use DC blocking capacitors on all RF pins (J1, J2, & J3).
Caution:
Appropriate precautions in handling,
packaging and testing devices must be
observed.
