Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC322LP4 & HMC322LP4E are broadband non-reflective GaAs MESFET SP8T switches in low cost leadless surface mount packages. Covering DC to 8 GHz, this switch offers high isolation and low insertion loss. This switch also includes an on board binary decoder circuit which reduces the required logic control lines to three. The switch operates using a negative 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.
