General Description
LE
The HMC336MS8G & HMC336MS8GE are broadband non-reflective GaAs MESFET SPDT switches
in low cost 8 lead MSOP8G surface mount packages
with an exposed ground paddle. Covering DC to 6
GHz, this switch offers high isolation and low insertion loss. The switch operates using a positive control voltage of 0/+5 Volts, and requires a fixed bias of
+5V. This switch is suitable for usage in 50-Ohm or
75-Ohm systems.

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 backside ground slug 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.
