GaAs MMIC POSITIVE CONTROL

T/R SWITCH, DC - 6 GHz

v02.0409

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

Input P0.1dB: +33 dBm @ +5V

Insertion Loss: 0.6 dB

Positive Control: +3V or +5V

Isolation: 27 dB

Typical Applications

The HMC536LP2(E) is ideal for:

• Cellular/PCS/3G Infrastructure

• WiMAX, WiBro & Fixed Wireless

• CATV/CMTS

• Test Instrumentation

The HMC536LP2(E) is a DC to 6 GHz GaAs MMIC T/R

switch in leadless 2x2 mm DFN LP2 surface mount

packages with an exposed ground paddle. The switch

is ideal for cellular, WiMAX, & WiBro access point

and subscriber applications featuring low 0.6 dB inser-

tion loss and high +54 dBm input IP3. Power handling

is excellent up through 6 GHz with the switch offering

a P0.1dB compression point of +29 dBm at +3V and

+33 dBm at +5V control.

On-chip circuitry allows

positive voltage control of 0/+3V or 0/+5V at very low

DC currents.

The HMC536LP2(E) occupy only

is required.
