Description

M/A-COM’s MASW-008153 is a GaAs PHEMT

MMIC single pole double throw (SPDT) switch in a

lead-free 4 mm 20-lead PQFN package.

The

MASW-008153 is ideally suited for applications

where low control voltage, high isolation, small size

and low cost are required.

Typical applications are to replace mechanical

relays in CATV systems. This part can be used in

all 75 Ω systems operating up to 1 GHz.

The MASW-008153 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs PHEMT process. The process

features full passivation for performance and

reliability.
