Description
M/A-COM’s MASWSS0169 is a GaAs MMIC SPDT
switch in a lead-free MSOP-10 surface mount plastic
package. This part is ideal for high isolation, broad-
band switching requirements. Typical applications
include
switching, switch matrices and filter banks in sys-
tems such as radio and cellular equipment, PCM,
GPS, and fiber optic modules.
The MASWSS0169 is fabricated as a monolithic
GaAs MMIC using a 0.5 micron PHEMT process.
The process features full passivation.
