Description
The MASW-010612 is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC SP3T
switch in a lead-free 1.5 mm 8-lead PDFN package.
This device is ideal for low control voltage, low
insertion loss, high isolation and small size
applications.
A typical application is antenna, WLAN and
Bluetooth systems that connect separate receive
functions to a common antenna. This part is
optimized at 2.4 GHz for switching between WLAN
and Bluetooth to a single antenna.
The MASW-010612 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron
gate length GaAs pHEMT process. The process
features full passivation for performance and
reliability.

3. Depending on system sensitivity optional DC line bypass
capacitors (22 pF) may be used.
4. Improved linearity at low control voltage can be obtained by
tying pin 2 to the most positive control voltage. Otherwise,
leave pin 2 unconnected.
5. The exposed pad centered on the package bottom must be
connected to RF, DC, and thermal ground.
