Description

The M/A-COM SW-488 is a GaAs monolithic switch in a low cost, FQFP-N, surface mount plastic package. The SW-488 is ideally suited for applications where very low power consumption, high power handling, and low cost are required. The SW-488 includes an integrated decoder. The switch offers GSM power handling with below +2.5V control voltage. The supply voltage VDD should be connected to the highest available voltage.

The SW-488 is fabricated using a new 0.5-micron gate length GaAs pHEMT process. The process features full chip passivation for increased performance and reliability. This switch is designed for Dual Mode WCDMA/GSM/DCS handsets where the phone needs to be able to simultaneously receive a WCDMA and GSM signal.
