Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC574AMS8E is low-cost
SPDT switch
in 8-lead MSOP packages for use in transmit/
receive applications which requires very low
distortion at high incident power levels. The
device can control signals from DC to 3 GHz and
is especially suited for Cellular/3G infrastructure,
WiMAX and WiBro applications with only 0.3 dB
typical insertion loss. The design provides 5 watt
power handling performance and +63 dBm third
order intercept at +8 Volt bias. RF1 and RF2 are
reflective shorts when “Off”.
