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.

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
exposed paddle should be connected directly to the
ground plane similar to that shown above. The evaluation circuit board shown above is available from
Hittite Microwave Corporation upon request.
