HMC336MS8G is a low cost, high performance GaAs MMIC SPDT switch from Hittite Corporation. It covers the frequency range of DC to 6.0GHz and offers high isolation and low insertion loss. The switch operates using a positive control voltage of 0/+5 Volts, and requires a fixed bias of +5V. This switch is suitable for usage in 50-Ohm or 75-Ohm systems.
The HMC336MS8G is a broadband non-reflective GaAs MESFET SPDT switch housed in a low-cost MSOP8G surface mount package with an exposed ground paddle. Designed for use in 50-Ohm or 75-Ohm systems, it operates using a positive control voltage of 0/+5 Volts and offers high isolation and low insertion loss across the DC to 6.0 GHz frequency range. Typical applications include switched filter banks and wireless systems below 6.0 GHz.
The document provides detailed electrical specifications, including insertion loss, isolation, return loss, and input power compression points. It also outlines absolute maximum ratings, bias voltage ranges, switching characteristics, and pin descriptions. An evaluation PCB layout and list of materials are included to assist with implementation.
