Tyco Electronics’ new low-cost, RoHS compliant, SPDT switch is designed for applications that require high power, low control voltage, and low insertion loss. Typical applications for the M/A-COM MASW-008853 are CDMA handsets where multiple transceiver or GPS functions are connected to a common antenna. It is also well suited for other handset and general applications. The MASW-008853, with its low leakage current, maximizes system linearity performance while reducing DC power consumption.

The MASW-008853 has typical insertion loss at 1.0 GHz of 0.30 dB with an isolation of 25 dB and P0.1dB of 38 dBm. It is fabricated on a low-cost 0.5-micron gate-length GaAs process and features full passivity for increased reliability. Each switch is 100% RF tested to ensure performance compliance, according to M/A-COM..

The MASW-008853 is available in wafer form from stock and is priced at $0.35 for quantities of 100,000.
