Description

M/A-COM’s MASW-009359 is an industry leading

GaAs PHEMT MMIC single pole three throw (SP3T)

CDMA-GPS switch in a lead-free 2 mm 12-lead

STQFN package with 0.4 mm lead pitch.

The

MASW-009359 is uniquely configured to enable

switching from a common antenna port to CDMA

cellular, CDMA PCS, or GPS ports. It is also ideal

for other applications where a compact, high

performance, symmetrical SP3T switch is required.

The design is symmetric and has been fully opti-

mized for excellent cross modulation performance in

all three paths while still maintaining excellent inser-

tion loss and isolation.

The symmetrical

design

allows the user to assign CDMA cellular, CDMA

PCS and GPS to ports RF1, RF2 or RF3 to optimize

the layout.

The MASW-009359 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron

gate length GaAs pHEMT process.

The

process

features

full

passivation

for

performance

and

reliability.

3. All package ground pins (P3,4,7,10, 12) and paddle ground

are no connection (N/C) electrically to the internal die. M/A-

COM recommends connecting all ground connections to

PCB ground to ensure a good thermal path.
