Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC232LP4 is a broadband high isolation
non-re鏗俥ctive GaAs MESFET SPDT switch in
a low cost leadless QFN surface mount plastic
package. Covering DC to 12 GHz, the switch
features >60 dB isolation up to 3 GHz and >42
dB isolation up to 12 GHz. Input P1dB compres-
sion is +27 dBm typical, while input IP3 is +50
dBm. The switch operates using complementary
negative control voltage logic lines of -5/0V and
requires no bias supply.
