Description

The M/A-COM MASWSS0017 is a GaAs monolithic

switch in a low cost, FQFP-N, surface mount plastic

package. The MASWSS0017 is ideally suited for

applications where very low power consumption,

high power handling, and low cost are required. The

MASWSS0017 includes an integrated decoder. The

switch offers GSM power handling with below +2.5

V control voltage. The supply voltage VDD should

be connected to the highest available voltage.

The MASWSS0017 is fabricated using a new 0.5-

micron gate length GaAs pHEMT process.

The

process features full chip passivation for increased

performance and reliability. This switch is designed

for

Dual

Mode

WCDMA,

Triple

band

GSM/DCS/PCS handsets, where the phone needs to

be able to simultaneously receive a WCDMA and

GSM signal.
