General Description
The HMC427ALP3E is a low loss broadband positive
control transfer switch in leadless surface mount
package. Covering DC to 8 GHz, this switch offers high
isolation and low insertion loss. The switch operates
using a positive control voltage of 0/+5V and requires
a fixed bias of +5V at < 20 µA.
* Blocking capacitors are required at ports RF1, 2, 3, & 4.
Their value will determine the lowest transmission frequency.
Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, VDD = 5V , With 0/+5V Control, 50 Ohm System
