High Power GaAs SPDT Switch
DC - 2.0 GHz
Features
• Positive Supply and Control Voltages
• 1 dB Compression Point: +36 dBm Typical, 8 V
• 3rd Order Intercept Point: +65 dBm Typical, 8 V
• Low Insertion Loss: 0.4 dB Typical
• Low Power Consumption: 100 µW

Description
M/A-COM’s SW-277 is a GaAs MMIC SPDT switch
in a SOIC-8 lead surface mount plastic package.
The SW-277 is ideally suited for use where low
power consumption is required.
Typical
switching, switch matrices and switched filter banks
in systems such as radio and cellular equipment,
PCM, GPS, fiber optic modules, and other battery
powered radio equipment.
The SW-277 is fabricated using a monolithic GaAs
MMIC using a mature 1 micron process. The
process features full chip passivation for increased
performance and reliability.
