Description

The HMC240 is a low cost GaAs MESFET SPDT switch chip. Covering DC to 4.0 GHz, this switch offers high isolation and low insertion loss. RF1 and RF2 are refl ective shorts when "off". The HMC240 switch can operate using either two negative control logic inputs of -5/0V or two positive control voltage logic inputs of 0/+5V. All data is tested with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fi xture connected via 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of 0.31 mm (12 mils) length.
