Description

M/A-COM’s SW-393 is a GaAs monolithic SPST

terminated switch in a low cost SOIC 8-lead plastic

package.

The SW-393 is ideally suited for use

where low power consumption and high isolation are

required.

Typical applications include PCS and GSM LO

Switching, switch matrices and switched filter banks

in systems such as radio and cellular equipment.

The SW-393 is fabricated using a mature 1-micron

gate length GaAs MESFET process. The process

features
