MASWSS0178
High Isolation Terminated
The MASWSS0178 GaAs monolithic switch provides high isolation in a lead-free, plastic surface mount package. The MASWSS0178 is ideal for applications across a broad range of frequencies including synthesizer switching, transmit / receive switching, switch matrices and filter banks in systems such as radio and cellular equipment, PCS, GPS, and fiber optic modules. MACOM fabricates the MASWSS0178 using a 1.0-micron gate length MESFET process. The process features full chip passivation for performance and reliability.
