Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0176 is a GaAs PHEMT

MMIC single pole, double throw (SPDT) switch in a

low cost, lead-free SOT-26 surface mount plastic

package. The MASWSS0176 is ideally suited for

applications where small size and low cost are

required.

Typical applications are dual band systems which

require switching between small signal components

such as filter banks, single-band LNAs, converters,

etc. This part can be used for low power, low loss

requirements in all systems operating up to 3 GHz,

including PCS, GSM, DCS, Satellite Radio, Blue

Tooth, and other receive chain applications.

The MASWSS0176 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 MHz - 1 GHz, 39 pF for 0.5 GHz - 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.
