General Description
The HMC240 is a low cost GaAs MESFET SPDT switch chip. Covering DC to 4.0 GHz, this switch offers high isolation and low insertion loss. RF1 and RF2 are reflective shorts when “off”. The switch can operate using either two negative control logic inputs of -5/0V or two positive control voltage logic inputs of 0/+5V. All data is tested with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of 0.31 mm (12 mils) length.
FEATUREs
Broadband Performance: DC - 4.0 GHz
Low Insertion Loss: 0.5 dB @ 2.0 GHz
High IIP3: +48 dBm
Small Size: 0.70 mm x 0.70 mm x 0.13 mm
Typical Applications
The HMC240 is ideal for:
• Telecom Infrastructure
• Microwave Radio & VSAT
• Military & Space
• Test Instrumentation
