HMC344
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC344 is a broadband non-re ective GaAs
MESFET SP4T switch chip. Covering DC to 8 GHz,
this switch offers high isolation, low insertion loss,
and a compact form factor. This switch also includes
an on board binary decoder circuit which reduces
the number of required logic control lines to two. The
switch operates using a negative control voltage of
0/-5V, and requires a xed bias of -5V. All data is tested
with the chip in a 50 Ohm test xture connected via
0.0 25 mm (1 mil) diam eter wire bond s of minimal length
0.31 mm (12 mils). This SP4T switch is also available
in SMT packaged form as the HMC344LC3.
Broadband Performance: DC - 8 GHz
Non-Re ective Topology
Low Insertion Loss: 1.8 dB @ 6 GHz
Integrated 2:4 TTL Decoder
Small Size: 1.08 x 1.05 x 0.10 mm
Electrical Speci cations, TA = +25° C, With 0/-5V Control, Vee= -5V, 50 Ohm System
Typical Applications
The HMC344 is ideal for:
• Telecom Infrastructure
• Microwave Radio & VSAT
• Military & Space
• Test Instrumentation
