HMMC-2006

The HMMC-2006 can be used in instrumentation, communications, radar, ECM, EW, and many other systems requiring SPDT switching. It can be used for pulse modulation, port isolation, transfer switching, high-speed switching, replacement of mechanical switches, and so on. It can also be used as a terminated SPST (single-pole-single-throw) switch by placing a 50 W load on either RF output port.

The HMMC-2006 is a GaAs monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) designed for low insertion loss and high isolation from DC to 6 GHz. It is intended for use as a general-purpose, singlepole, double-throw (SPDT) switch. One series and two shunt MESFETs per throw provide 1.2ÊdB maximum insertion loss and 35 dB minimum isolation at 6ÊGHz. HMMC-2006 chips use through-substrate vias to provide ground connections to the chip backside and minimize the number of wire bonds required. The device is also available in an 8-lead flatpack (1GG7-4201).
