Description
M/A-COM’s MASWSS0117 is a GaAs PHEMT
MMIC single pole double throw (SPDT) high power
switch in a low cost SC70 6-lead package. The
MASWSS0117 is ideally suited for applications
where high power, low control voltage, low insertion
loss, high isolation, small size and low cost are
required.
Typical applications are for CDMA handset systems
that connect separate transceiver and/or GPS func-
tions to a common antenna, as well as other related
handset and general purpose applications. The
MASWSS0117 can be used in all systems operating
up to 3.0 GHz requiring high power at low control
voltage.
The MASWSS0117 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron
gate length GaAs PHEMT process. The process
features full passivation for performance and reliabil-
ity.

2. For positive voltage control, external DC blocking capacitors are required on all RF ports.
3. Insertion loss can be optimized by varying the DC blocking capacitor value, e.g. 1000 pF for 100 MHz - 1 GHz, 39 pF for 0.5 - 3 GHz.
