General Description
The HMC536LP2(E) is a DC to 6 GHz GaAs MMIC T/R
switch in leadless 2x2 mm DFN LP2 surface mount
packages with an exposed ground paddle. The switch
is ideal for cellular, WiMAX, & WiBro access point
and subscriber applications featuring low 0.6 dB inser-
tion loss and high +54 dBm input IP3. Power handling
is excellent up through 6 GHz with the switch offering
a P0.1dB compression point of +29 dBm at +3V and
+33 dBm at +5V control. On-chip circuitry allows
positive voltage control of 0/+3V or 0/+5V at very low
11
DC currents.
The HMC536LP2(E) occupy only
4 mm2 and are ideal for applications where small size
is required.
