Description
M/A-COM’s MASW-008330 is a GaAs PHEMT
MMIC single pole three throw (SP3T) switch in a
lead-free 2 mm 8-lead PDFN package. The MASW-
008330 is ideally suited for applications where low
control voltage, low insertion loss, high isolation,
small size and low cost are required.
Typical applications are for filter and antenna
switching in handset systems that connect separate
receive functions to a common antenna, as well as
other related handset and general purpose
applications. This part can be used in all systems
operating up to 3 GHz requiring low control voltage.
The MASW-008330 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron
gate length GaAs PHEMT process. The process
features full passivation for performance and
reliability.

5. External DC blocking capacitors are required on all RF ports.
6. Insertion loss can be optimized by varying the DC blocking capacitor value, e.g. 100 pF for 100 - 500 MHz, 39 pF for 0.5 - 3 GHz.
