the hMc484MS8G & hMc484MS8Ge are lowcost SPDt switches in 8-lead MSOPG packages for use in transmit-receive applications which require very low distortion at high input signal power levels, through 10 watts (+40 dBm). the device can control signals from Dc to 3.0 Ghz. the design provides exceptional intermodulation performance; > +70 dBm third order intercept at +5 volt bias. RF1 and RF2 are reflective shorts when “OFF”. On-chip circuitry allows single positive supply operation from +3 Vdc to +10 Vdc at very low Dc current with control inputs compatible with cMOS and most ttL logic families.

Typical Application Circuit
Notes: 1. Set logic gate and switch Vdd = +3V to +10V and use hct series logic to provide a ttL driver interface. 2. control inputs A/B can be driven directly with cMOS logic (hc) with Vdd of +3 to +10 Volts applied to the cMOS logic gates and to pin 4 of the RF switch. 3. Dc Blocking capacitors are required for each RF port as shown. capacitor value determines lowest frequency of operation. 4. highest RF signal power capability is achieved with V set to +10V. the switch will operate properly (but at lower RF power capability) at bias voltages down to +3V.
