MGS-71008

The MGS-71008 is a single-pole, double-throw monolithic GaAs MMIC switch. The J2 and J3 of the MGS-71008 are terminated to ground by internal 50 W load resistors when "off" (a reflective version, the MGS-70008, which terminates the "off" port to ground, is also available). The switch is sealed in a small, plastic,surface-mount 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-71008 is designed for high volume commercial applications where low insertion loss, high isolation, and fast switching speed are required. MGS-71008'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-71008 is fabricated using HP's nominal 0.3Êmicron recessed Schottky-barrier-gate, gold metallization, and silicon nitride passivation to achieve excellent performance, uniformity, and reliability.
