General Description
TE
Typical Applications
The HMC241LP3 & HMC241LP3E are general purpose non-reflective SP4T switches in low cost leadless surface mount packages. Covering DC - 4 GHz,
this switch offers high isolation and has a low insertion
loss of 0.7 dB at 2 GHz. The switch offers a single
positive bias and true TTL/CMOS compatibility. A
2:4 decoder is integrated on the switch requiring
only 2 control lines and a positive bias to select each
path, replacing 4 to 8 control lines normally required
by GaAs SP4T switches.

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
Hittite Microwave Corporation upon request.
