Tyco Electronics has released M/A-COM MASW-008075, a SPDT 3.0 volt switch fabricated for applications that require high linearity, low insertion loss and high isolation. This low-cost switch is suitable for 802.11b/g applications with a bias of 3.0 V. While achieving an isolation of 25 dB and P1dB of 28 dBm, the MASW-008075 switch offers a low typical insertion loss of 0.40 dB.

Typical applications for the M/A-COM MASW-008075 include transmitter and receiver (Tx / Rx) switching in linear systems such as WLAN 802.11b/g, which connect the receiver and transmitter to a single antenna. In addition, diversity switching can be achieved by connecting two switches back-to-back on a printed circuit board.

It is RoHS-compliant and is fabricated on a low-cost 0.5-micron gate-length GaAs process and features full passivation for increased reliability. Each MASW-008075 is packaged in a compact SC-70 package and 100 percent RF tested to ensure performance compliance.

The M/A-COM MASW-008075 is available from stock and is priced at $0.12 for quantities of 100,000.
