Description
M/A-COM’s MASW-007813 is a GaAs pHEMT
MMIC single pole four throw (SP4T) high power
switch in a low cost, low profile, lead-free 3 mm
PQFN 16-lead package. The MASW-007813 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 GSM and DCS handset
systems that connect separate transmit and receive
functions to a common antenna, as well as CDMA
handset and other related applications. The MASW
-007813 can be used in all systems operating up to
3 GHz requiring high power at low control voltage.
The MASW-007813 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron
gate length GaAs pHEMT process. The process
features full passivation for performance and
reliability.

4. For positive voltage control, external DC blocking capacitors are required on all RF ports.
5. 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 GHz - 3 GHz.
