General Description
10
The HMC336MS8G & HMC336MS8GE are broad-
band non-reflective GaAs MESFET SPDT switches
in low cost 8 lead MSOP8G surface mount packages
with an exposed ground paddle. Covering DC to 6
GHz, this switch offers high isolation and low inser-
tion loss. The switch operates using a positive con-
trol voltage of 0/+5 Volts, and requires a fixed bias of
+5V. This switch is suitable for usage in 50-Ohm or
75-Ohm systems.
Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, With 0/+5V Control, 50 Ohm System
