HMC232G7
GaAs MMIC SMT HIGH ISOLATION
SPDT SWITCH, DC - 6.0 GHz
v00.0703
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC232G7 is a broadband high isolation
non-refl ective GaAs MESFET SPDT switch in a
hermetic surface mount package. Covering DC
to 6.0 GHz, the switch features >55 dB isolation
up to 2 GHz and >42 dB isolation up to 6.0 GHz.
The switch operates using complementary
negative control voltage logic lines of -5/0V and
requires no bias supply. This product is a form, fi t
& functional replacement for the HMC132G7.
Isolation: 55 dB @ 2.0 GHz
42 dB @ 6.0 GHz
Insertion Loss: 1.9 dB Typical @ 6.0 GHz

Evaluation PCB
The circuit board used in the fi nal application should be
generated with proper RF circuit design techniques. Signal
lines at the RF port should have 50 ohm impedance and
the package ground leads and package bottom should be
connected directly to the ground plane similar to that shown
above. The evaluation circuit board shown above is avail-
able from Hittite Microwave Corporation upon request.
