plastic package and is ideally suited for applications
where very low power consumption, low
intermodulation products, very small size and low
cost are required.
Typical application is an internal / external antenna
select switch for portable telephones and data
radios. In addition, because of its low loss, good
isolation and inherent speed, this device can be
used as a conventional T/R switch or as an antenna
diversity switch. The MASWSS0179 can be used in
power applications up to 0.5 watts in systems such
as cellular, PCS, GSM and other analog / digital
wireless communications systems.
This switch is fabricated using a mature 0.5-micron
gate length GaAs pHEMT process. The process
features full chip passivation for increased
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.
