Description

M/A-COM’s MASWSS0148 is a GaAs monolithic

single pole single throw (SPST) terminated switch in

a lead-free 3 mm 12-lead PQFN plastic package.

The MASWSS0148 is ideally suited for use where

low power consumption, small size and high

isolation are required.

Typical applications include PCS and GSM LO

switching, switch matrices and switched filter banks

in systems such as radio and cellular equipment.

The MASWSS0148 is fabricated using a mature

1-micron gate length GaAs MESFET process. The

process features full chip passivation for increased

performance and reliability.
