Product Description
Stanford Microdevices SSW-224 is a high perfomance
Gallium Arsenide Field Effect Transistor MMIC switch
housed in a low-cost surface-mountable 8-pin ceramic
package.
DC-6 GHz High Isolation
SPDT GaAs MMIC Switch
This single-pole, double-throw, reflective switch consumes
less than 50uA and operates at -5V and 0V for control bias.
Its high isolation and low insertion loss makes it ideal for T/R
switching in analog and digital wireless communication
systems.
Product Features
High Isolation : 40dB at 2GHz, 30dB at 6GHz
Low DC Power Consumption
The die is fabricated using 0.5 micron FET process with
gold metallization and silicon nitride passivation to achieve
excellent performance and reliability.
