Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0103 is a GaAs PHEMT

MMIC single pole double throw (SPDT) switch in a

lead-free 4 mm 20-lead PQFN package.

The

MASWSS0103 is ideally suited for applications

where low control voltage, high isolation, small size

and low cost are required.

Typical applications are to replace mechanical

relays in CATV systems. This part can be used in all

75

Ω systems operating up to 1 GHz.

The MASWSS0103 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs PHEMT process.

The process

features

full

passivation

for

performance

and

reliability.
