M/A-COM ANNOUNCES 2 NEW GaAs SPDT SWITCHES
Both Switches Feature Positive or Negative Control Voltage, Very Small Packages
Lowell, MA. M/A-COM, a leading global provider of wireless radio frequency (RF) microwave and millimeter wave components, today announced the availability of two new SPDT switches. These switches are available in low-cost, very small SOT plastic packages and cover the DC - 3.0 GHz range.
The SW-437 MMIC SPDT reflective switch is available in the ultra miniature SOT-363 package. The SW-442 SPDT terminated switch is available in the SOT-26 package. Both switches are ideally suited for applications requiring low insertion loss, good isolation, and small package size. These switches are particularly well suited for use in portable, dual band phones where switching between small signal components is required.
"The SW-442 is unique in the market in that it comes in the smallest package available for an SPDT terminated switch," says Tom Galluccio, Product Manager, M/A-COM. "The ultra-small SW-437 switch will minimize board space for all switching applications."
The SW-437 and SW-442 switches can also be used for general purpose switching in applications up to 0.25 Watts. Key attributes of the SW-437 and SW-442 include positive or negative control voltages (2.5 to 8V), good device to device consistency and low insertion loss for CDMA, TDMA, GSM and W-CDMA applications.
The new SW-437 and SW-442 are immediately available through M/A-COM s direct sales channel in the US, as well as its international sales channel.
