MASWSS0180
GaAs Terminated
MACOM’s MASWSS0180 is a GaAs MMIC SPDT terminated switch in a lead-free SOIC-8 lead surface mount plastic package. The MASWSS0180 is ideally suited for use where very low power consumption is required. Typical applications include transmit/receive switching, switch matrices, and filter banks in systems such as radio and cellular equipment, PCM, GPS, fiber optic modules, and other battery powered radio equipment. The MASWSS0180 is fabricated with a monolithic GaAs MMIC using a mature 1-micron process. The process features full chip passivation for increased performance and reliability.
