HMC253AQS24 / 253AQS24E

v01.1015

GaAs MMIC SP8T NON-REFLECTIVE

SWITCH, DC - 2.5 GHz

Typical Applications Features

The HMC253AQS24 / HMC253AQS24E is ideal for Low Insertion Loss (2 GHz): 1.1dB
DC - 2.5 GHz applications:
SWITCHES - MULTI-THROW - SMT

Single Positive Supply: Vdd = +5V

• CATV/DBS Integrated 3:8 TTL Decoder
• CDMA 24 Lead QSOP Package
• Cellular/PCS

Functional Diagram General Description

The HMC253AQS24 & HMC253AQS24E are low-
cost non-reflective SP8T switches in 24-lead QSOP
packages featuring wideband operation from DC to 2.5
GHz. The switch offers a single positive bias and true
TTL/CMOS compatibility. A 3:8 decoder is integrated
on the switch requiring only 3 control lines and a
positive bias to select each path. The HMC253AQS24
& HMC253AQS24E SP8T will replace multiple
configurations of SP4T and SPDT MMIC switches.
