Hittite HMC322LP4 GaAs MMIC SP8T Switch Datasheet

The HMC322LP4 is a broadband non-refl ective GaAs MESFET SP8T switch in a low cost lead- less surface mount package. Covering DC to 8 GHz, this switch offers high isolation and low insertion loss. This switch also includes an on board binary decoder circuit which reduces the required logic control lines to three. The switch operates using a negative control voltage of 0/-5 volts, and requires a fi xed bias of -5v. This switch is suitable for usage in 50-Ohm or 75-Ohm sys- tems.
