Description

The MASWSS0181 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC single

pole two throw (SPDT) high power switch in a

lead-free SOT-26 package. The MASWSS0181 is

ideally suited for applications where high power, low

control voltage, low insertion loss, high isolation,

small size and low cost are required.

Typical applications are for GSM and DCS handset

systems that connect separate transmit and receive

functions to a common antenna, as well as other

related handset and general purpose applications.

This part can be used in all systems operating up to

3 GHz requiring high power at low control voltage.

The MASWSS0181 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs pHEMT process. The process

features full passivation for performance and

reliability.

4. For positive voltage control, external DC blocking capacitors are required on all RF ports.

5. Insertion loss can be optimized by varying the DC blocking capacitor value, e.g. 1000 pF for 100 - 500 MHz, 100 pF for 0.5 - 3 GHz.

Handling Procedures

Please observe the following precautions to avoid

damage:

Static Sensitivity

Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive to

electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged

by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques

should be used when handling these devices.

6. Differential voltage, V (state 1) - V (state 0), must be +2.5 V

minimum and must not exceed +8 V.

7. 0 = -5 V to 2.5 V, 1 = -2.5 V to +5 V.
