Description
The MASWSS0151 is a GaAs MMIC SPDT switch in
a low cost, lead-free SC70 (SOT-363) surface mount
plastic package. This switch is ideally suited for
applications that include transmit / receive switching
for Bluetooth and WLAN equipment.
The MASWSS0151 can also be used in applications
up to 500 mW in cellular, PCS, DCS1800, GSM,
CDMA, and other analog and digital wireless
communications systems.
The MASWSS0151 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.
