General Description
The HMC986 is a wideband GaAs pHEMT MMIC
Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch die. This tiny
switch employs a reflective topology and is controlled
with two complementary inputs of 0/-3V to 0/-5V. With
an input signal at 40 GHz, the HMC986 exhibits 20 dB
return loss, 31 dB isolation, and only 1.9 dB insertion
loss. The combination of wideband performance and
fast switching speed make this switch ideal for test
equipment, switching matrices, and electronic warfare
(EW) applications. RF performance is independent of
high level control voltages, and is shown at both -3V
and -5V for completeness.
Electrical Specifications, T_A = +25° C, With 0/-3V to -5V Control, 50 Ohm System
