General Description
The HMC232 is a broadband non-reflective GaAs
MESFET SPDT MMIC chip. Covering DC to 15 GHz,
the switch features over 55 dB isolation at lower
frequencies and over 45 dB at higher frequencies
due to the implementation of on-chip via hole
structures. The switch operates using two negative
control voltage logic lines (A&B) of -5/0V and requires
no Vee. Alternate A & B control pads are provided to
ease MIC implementation. All data shown is tested
with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected
via 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of 0.5 mm
(20 mils) length. This product is a form, fit & functional
replacement for the HMC132.
