Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC232LP4(E) is a broadband high isolation non-reflective GaAs MESFET SPDT switch in a low cost leadless QFN surface mount plastic package. Covering DC to 12 GHz, the switch features >60 dB isolation up to 3 GHz and >42 dB isolation up to 12 GHz. Input P1dB compression is +27 dBm typical, while input IP3 is +50 dBm. The switch operates using complementary negative control voltage logic lines of -5/0V and requires no bias supply.

[1] Reference this number when ordering complete evaluation PCB [2] Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350
The circuit board used in the 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.
