HWS531 GaAs 0.5-6 GHz SPDT Terminated Switch September 2013 Preliminary Features • 50 USON6L (1.5x1.5X0.4 mm) Terminated Switch • Low Insertion Loss: 0.70 dB @ 2.7 GHz HP 0.90 dB @ 3.8 GHz 1.10 dB @ 5.8 GHz • Isolation: 31.0 dB @ 2.7 GHz 28.0 dB @ 3.8 GHz 25.0 dB @ 5.8 GHz • Low DC Power Consumption • Miniature USON6L (1.5x1.5x0.4 mm) Using Lead (Pb) free materials with RoHS compliant • PHEMT process Pin Out (Top View) Description The HWS531 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC SPDT switch with 50 termination operating at 0.5 -6.0 GHz in a low cost miniature USON6L (1.5x1.5x0.4 mm) plastic lead (Pb) free package. The HWS531 features low insertion loss and high isolation with very low DC power consumption. This switch can be used in WiMAX or IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN PC card and access point applications as transmit/receive switch, antenna diversity switch, or band-selection switch. Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameter Note: 1. DC blocking capacitors CB=8pF are required on all RF ports for operating frequency > 2GHz. 2. CB=47pF for operating frequency < 2GHz. 3. Exposed pad in the bottom must be connected to ground by via holes.
