GaAs MMIC SPDT SWITCH

DC - 3 GHz

Typical Applications Features

The HMC190BMS8(E) is ideal for: Low Insertion Loss: 0.4 dB
SWITCHES - SPDT - SMT

• MMDS & WirelessLAN Ultra Small Package: MSOP8

• Portable Wireless High Input IP3: +56 dBm
Positive Control: 0/+3V @ 0.1 µA

Functional Diagram General Description

The HMC190BMS8(E) is a low cost SPDT switch
in a 8-lead MSOP package. The switch can control
signals from DC to 3 GHz. It is especially suited for
low and medium power applications using positive
control voltages. The two control voltages require
a minimal amount of DC current, which is optimal
for battery powered radio systems at 0.9, 1.9, and
2.4 GHz. The HMC190BMS8(E) provides excep-
tional third order intermodulation performance of
+56 dBm. The design has been optimized for the
small MSOP package, and maintains a VSWR of
better than 1.2:1 up to 2 GHz. This device is the
positive control MSOP8 packaged version of our
HMC239AS8(E) negative control device.

Typical Application Circuit

SWITCHES - SPDT - SMT

Notes:
1. Set logic gate and switch Vdd = +3V to +5V and use HCT series logic to provide a TTL driver interface.
2. Control inputs A/B can be driven directly with CMOS logic (HC) with Vdd of 5 to 8 Volts applied to the CMOS logic gates.
3. DC blocking capacitors are required for each RF port as shown. Capacitor value determines lowest frequency of operation.
4. Highest RF signal power capability is achieved with Vdd = +8V and A/B set to 0/+8V.
