Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC427ALP3E is a low loss broadband positive
control transfer switch in leadless surface mount
package. Covering DC to 8 GHz, this switch offers high
isolation and low insertion loss. The switch operates
using a positive control voltage of 0/+5V and requires
a fixed bias of +5V at < 20 µA.
* Blocking capacitors are required at ports RF1, 2, 3, & 4.
Their value will determine the lowest transmission frequency.

Evaluation PCB 01-044016A
The circuit board used in the final application
should be generated with proper RF circuit design
techniques. Signal lines at the RF port should have
50 ohm impedance and the package ground leads
and package bottom should be connected directly
to the ground plane similar to that shown above.
The evaluation circuit board shown above is available from Analog Devices upon request.
