Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC154S8 is a low-cost SPDT switch in an
8-lead SOIC package for use in transmit-receive
applications which require very low distortion at
high signal power levels. The device can control
signals from DC to 2.5 GHz and is especially
suited for 900 MHz and 1.8 - 2.2 GHz applica-
tions. The design provides exceptional inter-
modulation performance; providing a +60dBm
third order intercept at 8 Volt bias. RF1 and RF2
are reflective shorts when “Off”. On-chip circuitry
allows single positive supply operation at very low
DC current with control inputs compatible with
CMOS and most TTL logic families.
