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.
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.
