Description
M/A-COM’s SW-239 is a GaAs MMIC SPDT switch
in a low cost SOIC-8 lead surface mount plastic
package. The SW-239 is ideally suited for use
where low power consumption is required.
Typical applications include transmit/receive
switching, switch matrices and switched filter banks
in systems such as radio and cellular equipment,
PCM, GPS, fiber optic modules, and other battery
powered radio equipment.
The SW-239 is fabricated using a monolithic GaAs
MMIC using a mature 1 micron process. The
process features full chip passivation for increased
performance and reliability.
