GaAs MMIC SPDT SWITCH

DC - 3 GHz

v02.0505

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

Low Insertion Loss: 0.4dB

Ultra Small Package: MSOP8

High Input IP3: +50 dBm

Positive Control: 0/+3V @ 10 uA

Typical Applications

The HMC190MS8 / HMC190MS8E is ideal for:

• MMDS & WirelessLAN

• Portable Wireless

The HMC190MS8 & HMC190MS8E are low cost

SPDT switches in 8-lead MSOP packages. The switch

can control signals from DC to 3.0 GHz. It is espe-

cially suited for low and medium power applications

using positive control voltages. The two control volt-

ages require a minimal amount of DC current, which

is optimal for battery powered radio systems at 0.9,

1.9, and 2.4 GHz. The HMC190MS8 & HMC190MS8E

designs provides exceptional third order intermodula-

tion performance of +50 dBm. The design has been

optimized for the small MSOP package, and maintains

a VSWR of better than 1.2:1 up to 2 GHz. This device

is the positive control MSOP8 packaged version of our

HMC239S8 negative control device.
