LOWELL, Mass, September 19, 2006 - M/A-COM, a business unit of Tyco Electronics and a leading provider of wireless radio frequency (RF), microwave and millimeter wave components, today announced a new RoHS compliant SP4T switch, which is well-suited for antenna switch module applications. The MASW-007813 includes lead-free, power quad flat, leadless (PQFN) package to maximize system linearity performance while simultaneously reducing DC power consumption. M/A-COM's MASW-007813 is traditionally deployed in highly functional multi-switching systems that operate on a single antenna, including global system for mobile communication (GSM) handsets the most popular standard for mobile phones in the world. The MASW-007813 switch is designed to maintain linearity up to 3.0 GHz, while offering high-power handling with P0.1 dB of 38 dBm, low typical insertion loss of 0.6 dB and an IIP3 of a 57 dBm. The MASW-007813 is housed in lead-free 3mm 16-lead PQFN packaging to streamline cost savings and space requirements. The SP4T switch is fabricated through a low-cost 0.5-micron gate-length GaAs pHEMT process, with full passivation added for high-reliability and is 100% high-power radio frequency (RF) tested to ensure complete performance compliance. Price and Availability The MASW-007813 is available from stock and is priced at $1.15 in quantities of 100,000.
