HMC546LP2 / 546LP2E v03.0809 GaAs MMIC 10W FAILSAFE SWITCH 0.2 - 2.7 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC546LP2 / HMC546LP2E is ideal for: High Input P0.1dB: +40 dBm Tx • LNA Protection, WiMAX & WiBro Low Insertion Loss: 0.4 dB • Cellular/PCS/3G & TD-SCDMA Infrastructure High Input IP3: +67 dBm • Private Mobile Radio & Public Safety Handsets Positive Control: 0/+3V to 0/+8V • Automotive Telematics Failsafe Operation - Tx “On” When Unpowered Functional Diagram General Description The HMC546LP2 & HMC546LP2E are failsafe SPDT switches in leadless DFN surface mount plastic packages for use in transmit-receive, and LNA protection applications which require very low distortion and high power handling of up to 10 watts. The device can control signals from 200 2700 MHz* and is especially suited for WiMAX and WiBro repeaters, PMR and automotive telematic applications. The design provides exceptional P0.1dB of +40 dBm and +65 dBm IIP3 on the Transmit (Tx) port. The failsafe topology allows the switch to provide a low loss path from RFC to Tx, when no DC power is available.
