Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0162 is a GaAs MMIC SPST

switch in a lead-free SOIC-8 lead surface mount

plastic package. The MASWSS0162 is ideally suited

for use where low power consumption is required.

Typical applications include transmit/receive switch-

ing, switch matrices and switched filter banks in sys-

tems such as radio and cellular equipment, PCM,

GPS, fiber optic modules, and other battery powered

radio equipment.

The MASWSS0162 is fabricated using a monolithic

GaAs MMIC using a mature 1 micron process. The

process features full chip passivation for increased

performance and reliability.
