MGS-70008

The MGS-70008 is a single-pole, double-throw monolithic GaAs MMIC switch. The J2 and J3 of the MGS-70008 are terminated to ground when "off" (an absorptive version, the MGS-71008, which terminates the "off" port in an internal 50ÊW resistor, is also available). The switches aresealed in a small, plastic, surfacemount SO-8 package. Switching is actuated by a -5 V control voltage per the truth table shown on the next page. -3.3ÊV operation is also possible with some reduction in P1 dB and IP3.

The MGS-70008 is designed for high volume commercial applications where low insertion loss, high isolation, and fast switching speed are required. MGS-70008's low cost and high performance make it suitable for a wide variety of uses such as digital cellular, spread spectrum, GPS, and other RF switching applications. Refer to applications note AN-G007 for more application details.

The MGS-70008 is fabricated using HP's nominal 0.7Êmm Schottky-barriergate, gold metallization, and silicon nitride passivation to achieve excellent performance, uniformity, and reliability.
