Description

M/A-COM’s SW-137 is a GaAs MMIC SPDT reflective

switch with an integral Silicon ASIC driver. This device

is in a 14-lead DIP package. These switches offer high

intercept points over a wide bandwidth of operation,

while maintaining low DC power dissipation.

These

switches exhibit excellent performance and repeatabil-

ity from 0.01 to 3.0 GHz. The SW-137 is ideally suited

for RF/IF communications applications.
