Description
M/A-COM’s MASWSS0201 is a broadband GaAs
PHEMT MMIC SPDT terminated switch in a low
cost, lead-free 3 mm 12-lead PQFN package. The
MASWSS0201 is ideally suited for applications
where an unpowered on state is critical in a single
control line SPDT terminated switch. The
unpowered condition is the same as the VC = 0
condition. This part can also be configured as a
reflective switch with minimal impact to the RF
performance.
The MASWSS0201 delivers high isolation, low
insertion loss and high line arity up to 2.5 GHz.
The MASWSS0201 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron
gate length GaAs E/D PHEMT process. The
process features full passivation for 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.
M/A-COM’s AN3007 Application Note outlines a
method for ESD sensitivity mitigation. It can be
found at the Tech/Apps section of the
MACOM.COM website.
† Reference Application Note M538 for lead-free solder reflow recommendations.
Meets JEDEC moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements.
