Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0130 is a broadband GaAs

PHEMT MMIC DPDT diversity switch in a low cost,

lead-free 3 mm 12-lead PQFN plastic package. The

MASWSS0130 is ideally suited for applications

where very small size and low cost are required.

Typical applications are for WLAN IEEE 802.11b/g

systems that employ two antennas for transmit and

receive diversity. Designed for high power, this

DPDT switch is optimized for high linearity at 2.4

GHz.

The MASWSS0130 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs PHEMT process. The process

features full passivation for performance and

reliability.

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.

4. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause

permanent damage to this device.

5. M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near

these survivability limits.
