Features
Positive Voltage Control (0 / +3 V)
High Isolation (43 dB typ @ 2.4 GHz)
Low Insertion Loss (0.7 dB typ @ 2.4 GHz)
4 mm FQFP-N 16 Lead Package
Ideal for Satellite Radio Applications
Description
The M/A-COM MASWSS0063 GaAs monolithic
switch in a low cost 4 mm FQFP-N 16 Lead Surface
Mount Plastic Package. The MASWSS0063 is ideal
for Satellite Radio Applications and high isolation,
broadband switching requirements. Typical
applications include synthesizer switching, transmit /
receive switching, switch matrices and filter banks in
systems such as radio and cellular equipment, PCS,
GPS, and fiber optic modules.
The MASWSS0063 is fabricated using a 0.5-micron
gate length pHEMT process. The process features
full chip passivation for performance and reliability.
