Functional Diagram
General Description
the hmc344lc3 is a broadband non-reflective GaAs meSFet SP4t switch in a ceramic 3x3 mm leadless surface mount package. covering Dc to 8 Ghz, this switch offers high isolation and low insertion loss. the hmc344lc3 includes an integrated binary decoder circuit which reduces the required logic control lines to two. the switch operates using a negative control voltage of 0/-5V, and requires a fixed bias of -5V. Simple external level shifting circuitry allows this switch to be controlled with most ttl/cmoS positive logic families.
