Description
M/A-COM’s SW-489 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC single pole three throw (SP3T) high power switch in a low cost miniature FQFP 12-lead 3x3mm thin profile package. The SW-489 is ideally suited for applications where high power, low control voltage, low insertion loss, high isola-tion, small size and low cost are required. Typical appli-cations are for GSM and DCS handset systems that con-nect separate transmit and receive functions to a com-mon antenna, as well as other handset and related appli-cations. This part can be used in all systems operating up to 2.5 GHz requiring high power at low control volt-age.
The SW-489 is fabricated using a 0.5 micron gate length GaAs PHEMT process. The process features full pas-sivation for performance and reliability.

Handling Procedures
The following precautions should be observed to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are ESD sensitive
and can be damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD
techniques should be used when handling these devices.
