Description

The MASW-009482 is an industry leading GaAs

pHEMT MMIC single pole three throw (SP3T) switch

in a lead-free 2 mm 12-lead STQFN package with

0.5 mm lead pitch. The MASW-009482 is uniquely

configured to enable switching from

a

common

antenna port to CDMA Cellular, PCS, or AWS ports.

It is also ideal for other applications where a com-

pact, high performance, symmetrical SP3T switch

is required.

The design is

symmetric and has been fully

optimized for excellent cross modulation perform-

ance in all three paths while still maintaining excel-

lent insertion loss and isolation.

The symmetrical

design

allows the user to assign CDMA Cellular,

PCS and AWS to ports RF1, RF2 or RF3 as

required to optimize the layout.

The MASW-009482 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs pHEMT process.

The

process

features

full

passivation

for

performance

and

reliability.

3. All package ground pins (P3,4,7,10, 12) and paddle ground

are no connection (N/C) electrically to the internal die. M/A-

COM recommends connecting all ground connections to

PCB ground to ensure a good thermal path.
