Description
The MASW-007107 is a broadband GaAs pHEMT
MMIC SPDT switch in a lead-free 2 mm 8-lead
PDFN package. Typical applications are for WLAN
IEEE 802.11a + b/g, and MIMO. Other applications
include test equipment requiring ultra fast switching
speeds. Designed for low insertion loss, this SPDT
switch maintains low loss up to 8 GHz.
The MASW-007107 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron
gate length GaAs pHEMT process. This process
features full passivation for performance and
reliability.

6. For positive voltage control, external DC blocking capacitors are required on all RF ports.
7. Electrical minimum and maximum specifications are guaranteed in final package assembly only.
8. Insertion loss can be optimized by varying the DC blocking capacitor value.

11. Positive Control: 1 = +2.9 V to +8.0 V, 0 = 0 V + 0.2 V.
Negative Control: 1 = 0 V + 0.2 V, 0 = -2.9 V to -8.0 V
12. If using negative control, external DC blocking capacitors can
be omitted on RF ports, provided that the DC level of the
external circuit on the RF port is 0 VDC.
9. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
10. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near
these survivability limits.
