Description
M/A-COM’s SW-259 is a GaAs MMIC SPST switch
in a low cost SOIC-8 lead surface mount plastic
package. The SW-259 is ideally suited for use where
low power consumption is required. Typical applica-
tions include transmit/receive switching, switch ma-
trices and switched filter banks in systems such as
radio and cellular equipment, PCM, GPS, fiber optic
modules, and other battery powered radio equip-
ment.
The SW-259 is fabricated using a monolithic GaAs
MMIC using a mature 1 micron process. The
process features full chip passivation for increased
performance and reliability.
