The HMC232G8 is a high isolation GaAs MMIC SMT SPDT switch from Hittite, covering DC to 6.0 GHz, with isolation of 48 dB @ 2.0 GHz and 34 dB @ 6.0 GHz, insertion loss of 1.5 dB Typical @ 4.0 GHz, and requiring no bias supply.
The HMC232G8 is a broadband high isolation non-reflective GaAs MESFET SPDT switch in a hermetic surface mount package. It covers the frequency range from DC to 6.0 GHz and features greater than 48 dB isolation up to 2 GHz and greater than 34 dB isolation up to 6.0 GHz. The device operates using complementary negative control voltage logic lines of -5/0V and requires no bias supply.
