Description
M/A-COM’s MASW-007107 is a broadband GaAs
PHEMT MMIC SPDT switch in a lead-free 2 mm 8-
lead PDFN package. Typical applications are for
WLAN IEEE 802.11a + b/g, and MIMO. Other
applications include test equipment requiring ultra
fast switching speeds. Designed for low insertion
loss, this SPDT switch maintains low loss up to 8.0
GHz.
The MASW-007107 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron
gate length GaAs PHEMT process. The process
features full passivation for performance and
reliability.
