GaAs SP6T 2.5 V High Power Switch Dual / Tri / Quad-Band GSM Applications Features • • • • • • MASWSS0091 V6 Die Layout Supplied as Known Good Die Dual/tri/quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE Low Voltage: 2.5V Operation Low Harmonics: -72 dBc at +35 dBm & 1 GHz Low Insertion Loss: 0.5 dB at 1 GHz High Tx-Rx Isolation: 38 dB at 2 GHz Tx1 VTx1 ANT Tx2 VTx2 ANT Description M/A-COM’s MASWSS0091 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC single pole six throw (SP6T) high power switch die. The MASWSS0091 is ideally suited for applications where high power, low control voltage, low insertion loss, high isolation, small size and low cost are required. The MASWSS0091 is designed for dual-, tri-, and quad-band GSM and DCS/PCS handset systems that connect separate transmit and receive functions to a common antenna, and can be used in all systems operating up to 2.5 GHz requiring high power at low control voltage. The MASWSS0091 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron gate length GaAs PHEMT process. The process features full passivation for performance and reliability.
