Description
M/A-COM’s MASW-008566 is a GaAs PHEMT
MMIC single pole four throw (SP4T) high power
switch in a low cost 4 mm 16-lead PQFN package.
The MASW-008566 is ideally suited for applications
where high power, low control voltage, low insertion
loss, high isolation, small size, and low cost are
required.
Typical applications are for GSM and DCS handset
systems that connect separate transmit and receive
functions to a common antenna, as well as other
handset and related applications. This part can be
used in all systems operating up to 3.0 GHz
requiring high power at low control voltage.
The MASW-008566 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron
gate length GaAs PHEMT process. The process
features full passivation for performance and
reliability.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be
damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control
techniques should be used when handling these
devices.
