HMC536MS8G / 536MS8GE v03.0806 GaAs MMIC POSITIVE CONTROL T/R SWITCH, DC - 6 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC536MS8G / HMC536MS8GE is ideal for: Input P0.1dB: +34 dBm @ +5V • Cellular/PCS/3G Infrastructure Insertion Loss: 0.5 dB • ISM/MMDS/WiMAX Positive Control: +3V or +5V • CATV/CMTS MS8G SMT Package, 14.8 mm2 • Test Instrumentation Isolation: 27 dB Very Fast Switching Speed Included in the HMC-DK005 Designer’s Kit Functional Diagram General Description The HMC536MS8G & HMC536MS8GE are DC to 6 GHz GaAs MMIC T/R switches in 8 lead MSOP8G surface mount packages with an exposed ground paddle. The switch is ideal for cellular/PCS/3G basestation applications featuring low 0.5 dB insertion loss and +55 dBm input IP3. Power handling is excellent up through 6 GHz with the switch offering a P0.1dB compression point of +29 dBm at +3 volts control. On-chip circuitry allows positive voltage control of 0/+3 volts or 0/+5 volts at very low DC currents.
