Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0005 is a GaAs PHEMT

MMIC single pole, double throw (SPDT) switch in a

low cost SOT-26 surface mount plastic package.

The MASWSS0005 is ideally suited for applications

where

small

size

and

low

cost

are

required.

Typical applications are dual band systems which

require switching between small signal components

such as filter banks, single-band LNAs, converters,

etc. This part can be used for low power, low loss

requirements in all systems operating up to 3 GHz,

including PCS, GSM, DCS, Satellite Radio, Blue

Tooth, and other receive chain applications.

The MASWSS0005 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs PHEMT process.

The process

features full passivation for performance and reliabil-

ity.
