General Description
The HMC596LP4 & HMC596LP4E are low-cost 4x2 switch matrices in leadless QFN 4x4 mm surface mount packages for use in Satellite / DBS, LNBs and multiswitches from 200 to 3000 MHz. A positive voltage controlled 4 bit decoder is integrated on the switch. The switches may be used in either 75 ohm or 50 ohm systems.

Both switch outputs (OP1 & OP2) can independently select any of the four inputs (HH, HL, VH, VL) or simultaneously select the same inputs. Note that the switch is bi-directional and input/output functionality may be interchanged. All data presented was measured in a 50 ohm (input/output) system.

DC Blocking And Decoupling Capacitors
The HMC596LP4(E) requires DC blocks on all 6 RF ports (OP1, OP2, VL, HL, VH, HH). Characterization on the HMC596LP4(E) was done using 0402 size 330pF capacitors on all RF ports. A 1,000 pF DC decoupling capacitor (0603 size) is recommended for the Vdd pin.

Switch Application Circuit for 4x4 Switch Matrix
The HMC596LP4(E) switch can operate as a 4x4 switch by connecting the 4 inputs of two switches directly together. The VL, VH, HL, and HH inputs of the first switch should be connected to the second switch, as illustrated. Mirror image switch performance can be realized by inverting the HV1 & HV2 logic control signals of one of the HMC596LP4(E) switches. The input loading impedance of two switches in parallel should be 31.25 ohms. The output loading impedance on each output should be 75 ohms. The interconnect RF line between the switch’s inputs should be an RF trace with a characteristic impedance of 62.5 ohms. This will allow the switch to remain matched in all possible switch states. The HMC596LP4(E) does not provide output to output (OP1 to OP2) isolation. For this reason, it is recommended that external amplifiers should be used at each output. The amplifier’s reverse isolation will provide output to output isolation, if this is necessary. Each HMC596LP4(E) requires DC blocking capacitors on ALL RF input and output ports.

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. A generous number of ground vias should be used to interconnect top/bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board shown above is available from Hittite Microwave Corporation upon request.
