HMC536LP2 / 536LP2E v02.0409 Typical Applications Features The HMC536LP2(E) is ideal for: Input P0.1dB: +33 dBm @ +5V • Cellular/PCS/3G Infrastructure Insertion Loss: 0.6 dB • WiMAX, WiBro & Fixed Wireless Positive Control: +3V or +5V • CATV/CMTS Isolation: 27 dB • Test Instrumentation 2x2 mm Leadless DFN SMT Package, 4 mm2 Functional Diagram General Description 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 insertion 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 4 mm2 and are ideal for applications where small size is required.
