The TriQuint TGS8122-SCC is a monolithic single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) GaAs FET switch designed for 8 to 11 GHz. This device has low insertion loss, low current consumption of less than 50 mA with control voltages of -7 V and 0 V, and rise and fall times are less than 2 ns. Ground is provided to the circuitry through vias to the backside metallization.
