Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC344 is a broadband non-reflective GaAs
MESFET SP4T switch chip. Covering DC to 8 GHz,
this switch offers high isolation, low insertion loss,
and a compact form factor. This switch also includes
an on board binary decoder circuit which reduces
the number of required logic control lines to two. The
switch operates using a negative control voltage of
0/-5V, and requires a fixed bias of -5V. All data is tested
with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via
0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal length
0.31 mm (12 mils). This SP4T switch is also available
in SMT packaged form as the HMC344LC3.
Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, With 0/-5V Control, Vee= -5V, 50 Ohm System
