General Description
The HMC232C8 is a broadband high isolation
non-re鏗俥ctive GaAs MESFET SPDT switch in a
non-hermetic surface mount ceramic package.
Covering DC to 8.0 GHz, the switch features >55
dB isolation up to 2 GHz and >42 dB isolation
up to 8.0 GHz. The switch operates using
complementary negative control voltage logic
lines of -5/0V and requires no bias supply. This
product is a form, 鏗乼 & functional replacement for
the HMC132C8.
