HMC446

HMC446 / 446E v03.0805 GaAs MMIC 10W T/R SWITCH, 824 - 894 MHz* Typical Applications The HMC446 / HMC446E is ideal for: • ISM/Cellular Portables/Handsets • Automotive Telematic Applications • Mobile Radio Features Low Insertion Loss: 0.6 dB High IIP3: +65 dBm High Input P0.1 dB: +40 dBm Tx Positive Control: 0/+5V to 0/+8V Ultra Small Package: SOT26 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC446 & HMC446E are low-cost SPDT switches in 6-lead SOT26 packages for use in transmitreceive applications which require very low distortion at high signal power levels, up to 10 watts. The device can control signals from 824 - 894 MHz* and is especially suited for cellular booster and automotive telematic applications. The design provides exceptional P0.1 dB of +40 dBm and +65 dBm IIP3 on the Transmit (Tx) port. The Tx port is a reflective open when “Off” while the Rx port is a reflective short when “Off”. On-chip circuitry allows single positive supply operation at very low DC current with a single control input (Vctl). 10 SWITCHES - SMT Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, Vctl = 0/+8 Vdc, 50 Ohm System Parameter Insertion Loss Isolation Return Loss Input Power for 0.1 dB Compression Input Third Order Intercept (Two-tone input power = +19 dBm each tone) Switching Characteristics tRISE, tFALL (10/90% RF) tON, tOFF (50% CTL to 10/90% RF) * External component values can be adjusted to enable HMC446 to operate in other frequency bands.
