capacitors on RF ports and 100 pF bypassing on pins 4
and 6.
Description
The SW-438 is a GaAs MMIC SPDT switch in a low
cost SOT-363 surface mount plastic package.
Typical applications include transmit/receive
switching for Bluetooth and WLAN equipment. The
SW-438 can also be used in applications up to 500
mW in systems such as cellular, PCS, DCS1800,
GSM, CDMA and other analog and digital wireless
communications systems.
M/A-COM fabricates the SW-438 using a 0.5
micron gate length GaAs p-HEMT process. The
process features full passivation for increased
performance and reliability.

External Component Requirements
Please note the values of the external capacitors.
The capacitors at each of the RF ports are used as
for achieving optimum insertion loss. They also
provide DC blocking for positive control. The 8 pF
(0402) capacitor is recommended for 2 - 3 GHz
operation. If this value is changed or the capacitor
placed too far from the switch, the performance will
be affected. We also recommend 100 pF bypass
capacitors on pins 4 and 6.
For broadband applications with positive control
voltages, use DC blocking capacitors with value of
39 pF or more.

are required on all RF ports.
5. If negative control is used, DC blocking capacitors are not
required on RF ports. This switch is not intended to pass or
