Hittite Microwave HMC232LP4 GaAs MMIC SPDT Switch Datasheet
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.
