Description
M/A-COM’s MASW-007588 is a broadband GaAs
PHEMT MMIC SPDT switch in a low cost, lead-free
3 mm 12-lead PQFN package. The MASW-007588
is ideally suited for applications where very small
size and low cost are required.
The MASW-007588, with its small size and low
height, is ideal for 802.11a and 802.11b/g PC card
and access point applications.
The MASW-007588 delivers high isolation, low
insertion loss and high linearity up to 6 GHz.
The MASW-007588 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron
gate length GaAs PHEMT process. The process
features full passivation for performance and
reliability.
