GaAs MMIC 5 WATT T/R SWITCH
DC - 3 GHz
v00.0805
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
Low Insertion Loss: 0.3 dB
High Third Order Intercept: +65 dBm
Isolation: 30 dB
Single Positive Supply: +3 to +10V
SMT Package: MSOP8
Electrical Specifications,
T
A
= +25 C, Vctl = 0/+5 Vdc, Vdd = +5 Vdc (Unless Otherwise Stated), 50 Ohm System
Typical Applications
The HMC574MS8 / HMC574MS8E is ideal for:
Cellular/3G Infrastructure
Private Mobile Radio Handsets
WLAN, WiMAX & WiBro
Automotive Telematics
Test Equipment
The HMC574MS8 & HMC574MS8E are low-cost
SPDT switches in 8-lead MSOP packages for use in
transmit/receive applications which require very low
distortion at high incident power levels. The device
can control signals from DC to 3.0 GHz and is es-
pecially suited for Cellular/3G infrastructure, WiMAX
and WiBro applications with only 0.3 dB typical
insertion loss. The design provides 5 watt power
handling performance and +65 dBm third order
interceptat +8 Volt bias. RF1 and RF2 are refl ective
shorts when "Off". Control inputs A & B are compatible
with CMOS and some TTL logic families. These
products are form, fi t and function replacements for
HMC174MS8 & HMC174MS8E while offering superior
electrical performance.
