Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC190MS8 & HMC190MS8E are low cost
SPDT switches in 8-lead MSOP packages. 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 HMC190MS8(E) designs
provides exceptional third order intermodulation per-
formance of +50 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
HMC239S8 negative control device.
