Description

The HWS415 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC DPDT

switch operating at DC-6 GHz in a low cost

miniature QFN12L (3 x 3 mm) plastic lead (Pb) free

package. The HWS415 features low insertion loss

and high isolation up to 6 GHz with very low DC

power consumption. This switch can be used in

IEEE 802.11a/b/g WLAN systems for combination

of transmit/receive and antenna diversity functions.
