Product Description
Stanford Microdevices’ SSW-408 is a high performance Gal-
lium Arsenide Field Effect Transistor MMIC switch housed in a
low-cost surface mountable small outline plastic package.
SSW-408
DC-4 GHz High Power GaAs MMIC
SPDT Switch
This single-pole, double-throw reflective switch consumes less
than 50uA and can operate with positive or negative 3V to 8V
supply voltages, making it suitable for use in both infrastruc-
ture and subscriber equipment. This switch can be used in all
analog and digital wireless communication systems including
(but not limited to) AMPS, PCS, DECT, IS-95, IS-136, 802.11,
CDPD and GSM.
Product Features
At +5V or –5V bias, typical output power at 1dB compression
is 3 watts. 1dB output power over 4 watts and IP3 over +55dBm
may be achieved with higher control voltages.
• High Compression Point : up to 4 Watts
• HIgh Linearity : TOIP +55dBm @2GHz
• Low DC Power Consumption
• Low Insertion Loss : 1.2dB at 2GHz
• Operates from Positive or Negative 3V to 8V
