General Description
The HMC536MS8G & HMC536MS8GE are DC to 6 GHz GaAs MMIC T/R switches in 8 lead MSOP8G surface mount packages with an exposed ground paddle. The switch is ideal for cellular/PCS/3G basestation applications featuring low 0.5 dB insertion loss and +55 dBm input IP3. Power handling is excellent up through 6 GHz with the switch offering a P0.1dB compression point of +29 dBm at +3 volts control. On-chip circuitry allows positive voltage control of 0/+3 volts or 0/+5 volts at very low DC currents.

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 exposed paddle 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.
