HMC232LP4 is a broadband high isolation non-reflective GaAs MMIC SPDT switch from Hittite Corporation. It features >60 dB isolation up to 3 GHz and >42 dB isolation up to 12 GHz. It is suitable for telecom infrastructure, microwave radio and VSAT, military radios, radar and ECM, and test instrumentation.
The HMC232LP4 is a broadband, high-isolation, non-reflective GaAs MMIC SPDT switch designed for operation from DC to 12.0 GHz. It features a low-cost leadless QFN surface mount plastic package and utilizes complementary negative control voltage logic lines (-5/0V), requiring no bias supply.
Key performance characteristics include greater than 60 dB isolation up to 3 GHz and greater than 42 dB isolation up to 12 GHz. The switch supports an input power for 1 dB compression of +27 dBm typical, with an input third-order intercept (IP3) of +50 dBm. It is ideal for applications in telecom infrastructure, military radios/radar/ECM, and test instrumentation.
| Frequency Range | DC - 12.0 GHz |
|---|---|
| Isolation (3 GHz) | >60 dB |
| Insertion Loss (Typical @ 6 GHz) | 1.5 dB |
| Input P1dB Compression | +27 dBm |
| Package Type | 4x 4x 1mm QFN SMT Package |
The switch provides greater than 52 dB isolation up to 6 GHz.
No, it does not require a bias supply as it uses complementary negative control voltage logic lines.
